Description
5466-348 is a Netcon SIO Module developed by Woodward. SIO Module is equipped with three RS-485 ports. Each port is intended for use with EM or GS/LQ Digital Actuator Drivers.
The Woodward 5466‑348 is a high‑performance NetCon SIO (Serial Input/Output) communication module engineered as a critical interface component for Woodward’s NetCon 5000B control ecosystem, designed to enable seamless, real‑time data exchange between NetCon controllers and EM/GS/LQ series digital actuator drivers in heavy‑duty industrial applications such as power generation, oil & gas, marine propulsion, and industrial turbine control.
As a core connectivity module in Woodward’s modular automation lineup, it addresses the demand for precise, low‑latency actuator control and monitoring—where reliable serial communication directly impacts system stability, operational safety, and process efficiency in 24/7 mission‑critical environments.
At its core, the 5466‑348 features three isolated RS‑485 UART communication ports, each dedicated to direct connection with Woodward EM or GS/LQ digital actuator drivers—industry‑standard devices used to regulate valve positions, turbine governor speeds, and other critical actuation functions. Each port operates at a fixed 417 kbaud rate (8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity) for ultra‑fast data transfer, with a 5ms per‑port update rate that ensures critical parameters (position demand, driver status, fault codes) are refreshed in near‑real time, eliminating latency in dynamic control loops.

FAQS
The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How many drivers can be connected to each RS-485 port?
Each RS-485 port allows for the connection of one driver. Therefore, the module can accommodate a total of three drivers, one for each port.
What is the update rate for critical parameters when using one driver per port?
When using one driver per port, the update rate for critical parameters is 5 milliseconds. This means that important data related to the actuator drivers can be refreshed every 5 milliseconds.
