The 5466-355 is a high-speed bus extension interface developed by Woodward for the MicroNet VME control system architecture. This Remote Chassis Transceiver (XCvR) is designed to extend communication between the primary control rack and expansion chassis, enabling distributed control hardware to function as a unified deterministic control platform.
Specifically optimized for CPU 68040-based MicroNet systems, the 5466-355 provides transparent VME bus extension, allowing control logic, memory addressing, and process data to be synchronized across multiple chassis with minimal communication latency.
The module operates using high-speed differential parallel bus signaling with advanced line drivers to maintain signal integrity across long cable runs. Daisy-chain topology is used for multi-chassis deployments, with termination resistors required at the final node to prevent signal reflections and bus instability.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model / Part Number | 5466-355 |
| System Architecture | MicroNet VME (CPU 68040 compatible) |
| Slot Requirement | Dedicated Slot 11 |

| Signal Protocol | High-speed differential parallel bus |
| Termination Options | Non-terminated (intermediate) / Terminated (end-of-line) |
| Weight | 0.86 kg |
The 5466-355 must be installed in Slot 11 of each expansion chassis for proper bus communication.
Intermediate chassis in a multi-rack system should use non-terminated modules.
The final chassis in the communication chain must use a terminated variant with internal termination resistors to maintain signal stability and prevent data reflection on the VME bus.
Why does the module have no LED indicators?
The 5466-355 is designed as a transparent high-speed communication bridge. System diagnostics are performed by the main XCvR module and CPU software, which monitor bus performance and report errors via control system diagnostics interfaces.
Is this module compatible with newer MicroNet Plus CPU systems?
The 5466-355 was specifically designed for 68040 VME bus timing. Compatibility with newer CPU architectures must be verified, as bus timing mismatches can lead to communication errors or data corruption.
