Key Features and Operational Benefits
The 5453-203 panel provides operators with direct, local access to the MicroNet controller. Its two-line display shows real-time data like speed, load, temperature, and active alarms. The panel also allows for on-the-fly adjustment of setpoints and tuning parameters. Moreover, its rugged construction ensures reliable performance in control rooms or near machinery. Therefore, it is a vital component for commissioning, troubleshooting, and daily operation.
Application Context and System Integration
This interface panel is specifically designed for use with Woodward MicroNet digital governors and control systems. For example, it connects to a MicroNet TMR controller for a gas turbine. The panel communicates via RS-232/422 serial links using Woodward’s proprietary protocol. It typically mounts on the control cabinet door for convenient operator access.
Installation and Connection Process
First, prepare a panel cutout matching the specified dimensions for a flush mount. Next, secure the 5453-203 panel in the cutout using the provided mounting hardware. Then, connect the 12VDC power wires and the proprietary HDMi communication cable to the DB-9 port. Finally, route the other end of the cable to the corresponding port on the MicroNet controller.
