The Woodward 5464-458 serves as a mission-critical Discrete Output Module within the MicroNet TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) and NetCon 5000 control architectures. Engineered for high-integrity turbine and engine safety systems, this module provides eight independent, isolated SPDT relay outputs. By utilizing a 2-out-of-3 (2oo3) voting hardware logic, the 5464-458 eliminates single points of failure, ensuring that the system executes safety-critical commands even under internal fault conditions. Its IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification confirms its suitability for the most demanding industrial safety loops.
The 5464-458 balances high-speed switching with robust electrical isolation to maintain total system uptime.

Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): The internal voting architecture protects against false trips and failure-to-act scenarios. This hardware-based redundancy ensures your turbine remains online while maintaining the ability to trigger a safe shutdown during genuine emergencies.
Superior Isolation Profile: 2500 V AC channel-to-channel isolation prevents electrical surges on one circuit from migrating to others or corrupting the central MicroNet bus. This "air-gap" level of protection handles the extreme transients common in power plant environments.
Instantaneous Safety Execution: A switching response time of ≤ 1 ms allows the control system to mitigate overspeed or thermal events in near real-time. This speed protects high-value rotating assets from mechanical overstress.
High-Current Interfacing: Each of the 8 SPDT relays handles up to 16 Amps. This high capacity allows the module to drive heavy solenoids and fuel valves directly, reducing the need for intermediate interposing relays that often introduce lag and additional failure points.
Zero-Downtime Maintenance: The hot-swappable design allows technicians to replace the 5464-458 while the system is powered and the turbine is running. This maximizes plant availability during routine hardware updates.
100% Brand New Condition: We supply only original, factory-sealed Woodward 5464-458 units. This guarantees the maximum electrical lifespan of the relay contacts, a critical factor for systems requiring SIL 3 safety integrity.
Q: Can the 5464-458 integrate with MicroNet Plus controllers?
A: Yes. The module communicates via the standard 10 Mbps Linknet fieldbus, allowing seamless integration into MicroNet Plus, TMR, and NetCon 5000 racks.
Q: What is the primary function of the LED indicators on this module?
A: The LEDs provide real-time diagnostic feedback. They indicate channel status and internal faults, allowing for immediate visual confirmation of output health without requiring external testing tools.
Q: Does the module support both NO and NC wiring?
A: Yes. Since the 5464-458 utilizes SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relays, it provides both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts for every channel. This allows for flexible "fail-safe" or "fail-fixed" circuit designs.
Q: Is the 5464-458 suitable for outdoor nacelle installations?
A: Absolutely. The module's wide operating range of -40°C to +85°C handles the thermal fluctuations typical of wind turbine nacelles or outdoor engine enclosures without requiring external heating or cooling.
