Woodward 5453-759 MicroNet Plus 14-Slot Redundant Chassis with Smart Fans

Description:

The Woodward 5453-759 MicroNet Plus 14‑Slot Redundant Chassis is a high‑availability enclosure designed for the MicroNet Plus digital control system. It features 14 slots for VME I/O modules, redundant power supply capability, and integrated smart fans for enhanced thermal management. The chassis supports hot‑swappable modules, allowing replacement without system shutdown. It is suitable for Class I Division 2 hazardous locations and is certified for marine applications (ABS, DNV, LRS). The backplane provides power distribution and communication buses (VME, CAN, etc.) between the CPU and I/O modules. This chassis is ideal for demanding turbine, engine, and generator control applications requiring high reliability and fault tolerance.
