Product Description

The 5453-279 is a 12-slot ruggedized chassis for Woodward MicroNet™ series control systems. It provides a high-reliability backplane for CPU, I/O, and communication modules, centralizing power distribution and data exchange for turbine and engine control systems.

Designed for harsh industrial environments, the chassis combines mechanical robustness with EMI protection. Its compact 12-slot layout balances high-density I/O capabilities with a small footprint, making it ideal for localized control skids, marine propulsion, offshore platforms, and decentralized power generation units.

Chassis Integration FAQ

Can this chassis be used in a redundant (Duplex) Woodward system?

  • No. The 5453-279 is designed for Simplex architectures. For full redundancy (Duplex or TMR), larger racks or specialized redundant backplanes are required. Multiple 12-slot racks can be networked to expand I/O capacity.

Does this rack require external cooling fans?

  • The chassis supports passive cooling, but forced-air cooling may be necessary in high-density configurations or high-temperature engine rooms to ensure long-term module reliability.
