Features:
- NETCON I/O Controller for the legacy LON-based LINKnet architecture.
- Controller-side interface for documented distributed LINKnet I/O nodes.
- Migration to CANopen LINKnet HT requires hardware and software changes.
5466-031 is the Woodward NETCON I/O Controller used with the original LON-based LINKnet architecture. Its role is to connect the controlling MicroNet system to documented distributed field nodes. The complete part number, hardware revision, receiving controller and network design must match the controlled installation record.
Before replacement, record the chassis position, connectors, network wiring, termination, node addresses, node types, power arrangement, diagnostics and application revision. Do not treat a later LINKnet HT component as a drop-in replacement. After installation, verify controller status, network communication and every affected field input and output under the site commissioning procedure.
The 5466-031 Woodward NETCON LINKnet I/O Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Confirm the complete order identity, receiving-system configuration and required document revision before replacement.
5466-031 belongs to the legacy LON-based LINKnet architecture. Match the controller module, network media, termination, address plan and field-node types to the controlled system record.
Use the controller only with documented legacy LINKnet nodes and the approved MicroNet application. Confirm every node identity and channel map; a visually similar node or later network component is not automatically compatible.
Woodward identifies CANopen LINKnet HT as a different architecture. A migration requires engineering review of controller hardware, field nodes, wiring, application software, diagnostics and commissioning tests.
