FAQ

Q: Does the 5466-411 support fiber optic Ethernet?
A: No. The 5466-411 uses copper RJ45. For fiber optic communication, use Woodward fiber transceiver modules (e.g., 5464-473).

Q: Can I use this module in a MicroNet TMR system?
A: Yes, the 5466-411 is compatible with MicroNet platforms. Verify TMR Ethernet redundancy requirements in your system manual.

Installation Guide

1. Install 5466-411 into an available NetCon/MicroNet chassis slot.
2. Connect CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port.
3. Configure IP address and subnet via Woodward Toolkit software.
4. Verify link status LED and network connectivity.
5. Test Modbus TCP or EGD communication with host DCS.

Selection Tips

• Network Topology: Confirm your plant network uses standard Ethernet (RJ45) vs. fiber before ordering.
• Protocol: Verify DCS supports Modbus TCP or EGD for seamless integration.
