5464-210 | Woodward Actuator Driver Module | New

Product Overview

The Woodward 5464-210 is a 2-Channel Actuator Driver Module from the NetCon 5000 series. It serves as an interface between low-power control signals and high-power actuator drives, generating four proportional actuator-driver signals (0–25/200 mAdc) for precise positioning of valves, fuel racks, and other actuated devices. The module uses a dual-port memory VME-bus interface and features microcontroller-based calibration with integrated fault detection and a FAULT LED for real-time diagnostics.
