The 5453-203 (Model: 5453-203) is a high-performance Ethernet Field Terminal Module (FTM) designed to provide critical network connectivity for Woodward MicroNet and MicroNet Plus control platforms. This module serves as the primary communication bridge between the localized turbine control backplane and the plant-wide supervisory network. The 5453-203 (Part Number: 5453-203) enables seamless data exchange for monitoring, configuration, and remote diagnostics, ensuring that real-time turbine data is accessible to SCADA and DCS systems.
Revision E of the 5453-203 (Model: 5453-203) is engineered for high-speed deterministic communication, supporting both Modbus TCP/IP and Woodward’s proprietary protocols. This allows engineers to perform GAP (Graphical Application Programmer) software uploads and downloads across the network without requiring a direct serial connection. Built to industrial standards, the module features robust electrical isolation and EMI protection, making it a reliable solution for the demanding environments of power generation plants, offshore marine vessels, and oil & gas compressor stations.
The 5453-203 (Model: 5453-203) is optimized for high-uptime communication within VME-standard control architectures.
