Frequently Asked Questions About 5466-031

Q: What is “LINKnet” / “NetCon” vs “Network Controller Module”?
A: The 5466-031 is often referred to as a “LINKNet/NetCon Controller Module.” It serves as the master controller that offers multiple network trunks; each trunk can host many I/O modules. This

architecture supports distributed I/O — helping scalability and easier wiring for large systems.

Q: How many devices or I/O modules can be connected under one 5466-031?
A: According to vendor descriptions: each of the 4 network trunks can connect up to 60 I/O modules — giving a theoretical capacity of up to 240 I/O modules in total.

Q: Is 5466-031 still manufactured / supported by Woodward?
A: At least one reseller lists it as “Discontinued by manufacturer” — indicating that 5466-031 may no longer be in active production.

That said, many suppliers still hold new/unused or rebuilt inventory.

Q: What kind of applications is 5466-031 suited for?
A: It is well-suited for industrial automation tasks requiring distributed I/O control — for example: power-plant auxiliary

controls, monitoring systems, marine engine control, process control, non-turbine

sequencing/monitoring, or automation systems needing

scalable I/O and networked control.
