The 8444-1546 Woodward MicroNet Plus 8-Channel Analog Output Module is a genuine Woodward component designed for precision control in industrial automation systems. This module delivers eight isolated analog output channels with high-resolution performance, making it ideal for critical control applications requiring safety integrity level (SIL 2) compliance.

• 100% OEM Woodward certified with serialization and factory sealing
• 8 isolated analog outputs supporting 4-20 mA or ±10 VDC per channel
• 14-bit resolution (0.006%) with ±0.1% full-scale accuracy
• Fast 2 ms update time per channel with configurable ramp and limit settings
• Comprehensive diagnostics including over-range, short-circuit, and open-loop detection
• Hot-swap capability in MicroNet Plus rack without system shutdown
• Redundant 24 VDC power inputs with diode OR-ing for reliability
• Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C with conformal coating
• Multiple certifications: SIL 2 (IEC 61508), CE, UL 508, ABS, ATEX

• Gas and steam turbine valve positioning systems
• Compressor surge-control actuators
• Generator excitation field reference control
• Safety-system analog outputs (SIL 2 compliant)
• Marine and offshore process control systems

• 1× 8444-1546 analog output module
