Model Selection Tips

• 5466-409 = MicroNet Pentium CPU Module — verify chassis compatibility
• For TMR redundant control, use 5466-318 (TMR CPU) instead
• For simplex configurations, pair with 5501-371 MPU & AIO modules
• Confirm communication protocol requirements (Ethernet vs. serial)
• Check memory capacity for your control application size
