Woodward 5417-041 NetCon Discrete Cable 12FT Gray with Backshell

Description

The 5417-041 is a NetCon Discrete Cable manufactured by Woodward. It is a low-density MicroNet cable assembly designed specifically for discrete signal transmission within Woodward NetCon control systems .

As a critical connection component in Woodward industrial control systems, the 5417-041 provides a reliable signal pathway between controller modules and associated field devices, ensuring accurate transmission of discrete control commands and status feedback.

Application Scenarios

In a gas turbine power plant, a Woodward MicroNet control system manages fuel regulation valves and guide vane actuators. Inside the control cabinet, NetCon modules require discrete signal connections to field terminal blocks for transmitting valve open/close commands and actuator position feedback. The electromagnetic environment is complex—variable frequency drives, high-voltage switchgear, and generator excitation systems all operate in the same electrical room. Using non-dedicated cables in this setting risks signal interference, leading to valve position misreads or lost control commands.

The 5417-041 is engineered for exactly these conditions. Its 12-foot cable length covers the standard routing distance from the control cabinet to the field junction box, with dedicated connectors at both ends that mate directly with Woodward NetCon module interfaces—no adapters required. In another application aboard a marine propulsion control system, the 5417-041 connects a Woodward 505 governor to the MicroNet network master, maintaining stable discrete signal transmission under continuous vibration and humidity variations.
