The Woodward 8405-009 functions as the high-speed processing heart for the MicroNet and NetCon control platforms. This digital CPU module executes the complex, deterministic logic required for turbine speed regulation, load sharing, and sequence control in mission-critical environments. By serving as the central node for all I/O data acquisition and system communication, the 8405-009 ensures real-time stability for power generation and large-scale mechanical drives. We offer this unit in 100% Brand New and Original condition, specifically designed to withstand the thermal and electrical rigors of marine engine rooms and oil & gas compressor stations.
The 8405-009 integrates powerful computing architecture with versatile communication interfaces.

The 8405-009 addresses the technical challenges of high-demand industrial control through specialized engineering features:
Deterministic Logic Execution: The high-speed CPU architecture eliminates "jitter" in control loops. This ensures that turbine speed corrections occur in real-time, preventing overspeed conditions and mechanical stress during sudden load drops.
Dual-Protocol Communication Bridge: The module simultaneously supports Ethernet (10/100BaseT) and Modbus (RTU/TCP). This dual-path architecture allows the CPU to manage high-speed peer-to-peer communication between racks while providing steady-state data to plant-wide SCADA or DCS networks.
Robust Signal Conditioning: Onboard circuitry filters electrical noise and protects the processor from EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). This makes the 8405-009 ideal for installation in cabinets located near high-voltage motor starters or heavy-duty power electronics.
Thermal Resiliency: The hardware utilizes an extended industrial temperature range (up to +70°C). This allows for reliable operation in non-climate-controlled environments, such as offshore platforms, where ambient heat frequently degrades commercial-grade electronics.
Is the Woodward 8405-009 unit 100% Brand New?
Yes. Every 8405-009 we supply is 100% Brand New and Original. The product arrives in factory-sealed packaging to ensure it meets original Woodward performance specifications and has never been used or refurbished.
Does this module require external cooling?
While the module operates up to +70°C, we recommend ensuring adequate airflow within the MicroNet rack. Under typical loads of 15–20W, the module utilizes passive dissipation; however, in high-density rack configurations, cabinet ventilation extends the lifespan of the onboard electrolytic capacitors.
How do I integrate this CPU into my existing Modbus network?
The 8405-009 supports both Modbus RTU via serial ports (RS-232/485) and Modbus TCP via the Ethernet port. You can configure the communication parameters (baud rate, IP address, and slave ID) through Woodward’s standard engineering software tools.
Can the 8405-009 replace older MicroNet CPU revisions?
In most cases, the 8405-009 serves as a direct upgrade or replacement for legacy MicroNet CPU cards. However, always verify that your current software application and backplane configuration support the 10/100BaseT Ethernet interface featured on this specific model.
