Woodward loop-powered LINKnet HT distributed I/O nodes are small Canopen-based modules designed for turbine control in harsh vibration and temperature environments.
Woodward control systems such as MicroNet Plus can easily program these nodes to collect I/O sensor data from remote locations. Woodward’s GAP Graphics application software provides automatic node initialization, RateGroup operations, and diagnostics when using these node controls:
Gas and steam turbines
Gas and diesel engines
Water turbine
Because LINKnet HT nodes can be skied with turbines or engines, typical installation and maintenance costs for cables, sensor cabling, and field troubleshooting can be significantly reduced.

Features:
Loop power supply
High temperature operating range – 40 °C to +100 °C
High vibration operation, suitable for skid-mounted vibration and shock levels
18 V to 36 V (DC) isolated input power supply with isolated CAN communication
Benefits:
Suitable for skid-mounted turbine and engine control Settings
Designed for high temperature and vibration operation
Designed for easy integration with Woodward controllers such as MicroNet Plus
Provides plug-and-play integration with Woodward GAP software and RateGroups
Easy upgrade path for older LINKnet distributed I/O nodes
