5501-470 | WoodWard | CPU Module

Product Description

This module serves as an interface between control systems (PLC, DCS) and various sensors and actuators in industrial environments. It receives analog voltage or current signals from sensors such as temperature, pressure, or flow sensors and converts them into digital signals for the control system to understand and process. Conversely, the module can also receive digital control signals from the control system and convert them into analog voltage or current signals to control actuators within processes (such as valves or motors).
