Core Signal and Power Transmission Function

The Woodward 5417-175 is a 12-foot high-density cable assembly for MicroNet Plus control systems. This specialized cable facilitates seamless transmission of both analog and discrete signals within the industrial network. It also provides reliable power distribution between key system components like the TMR Main Chassis. Consequently, it is a critical integration component for building robust and expandable prime mover control architectures.

System Compatibility and Robust Construction

This cable is specifically designed for MicroNet Plus systems supporting simplex or redundant CPU configurations. Its double-shielded Cat 5 Ethernet (SSTP) construction ensures reliable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The 5417-175 cable assembly withstands the mechanical stress and environmental factors of industrial settings. Furthermore, it enables system expansion by connecting to remote racks via compatible fiber optic Ethernet switches.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Manufactured in the USA, this cable is part of Woodward’s engineered solution for turbine and engine control. Its ribbon cable format efficiently organizes data and control signal transmission between chassis. The following table details its physical, compatibility, and performance parameters.

Application in Control System Integration

Use this cable to establish the primary data and power link within a MicroNet Plus TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) chassis. It is essential for the initial system build and for connecting expansion racks in distributed control layouts. The Woodward 5417-175 ensures reliable communication between the main controller and various I/O modules. Therefore, it is a foundational component for the reliability and performance of turbine control systems in power generation and industrial applications.
