Woodward has introduced a new controller module, the 8440-2116, to further expand its product line in industrial automation. With its high performance and versatility, this module provides a more powerful and flexible solution for automated control systems.

The 8440-2116 module has the following core features:

Eight configurable discrete alarm inputs enable different alarm conditions to be set according to system requirements.

Eight configurable FORM C relays with potentially free contacts provide a variety of control options.

Each input can be set to a configurable delay to suit different control policies.

Supports CAN bus communication, allowing the module to exchange data efficiently with other devices through CAN bus.

The discrete input transmits its states via the CAN bus to the control unit, which operates accordingly according to these states and preset configurations.

The control unit CAN remotely control the output relay of the module through the CAN bus, which improves the response speed and control precision of the system.

The module can be used with other manufacturers’ controllers and has good compatibility.

In addition, Woodward has provided detailed product manual 37135, which contains detailed information on CAN bus interface address assignment to help users better integrate and use the 8440-2116 module.

Woodward’s new controller module, with its advanced technology and flexible applications, meets the needs of modern industrial automation for high-performance controllers. With the introduction of the 8440-2116 module, Woodward has once again demonstrated its innovative capabilities and technological leadership in the field of industrial control.
