Woodward LINKnet HT modules provide distributed I/O expansion for MicroNet Plus control systems via a single CAN port. Designed for high-temperature and high-vibration environments, these asynchronous I/O nodes support MicroNet Plus CPU failover and extend the control system’s measurement and output capabilities to remote locations on the turbine skid.
