The 5466-409 is specifically documented as a MicroNet Pentium CPU. Available technical references identify the 233 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, simplex architecture, Ethernet interface, dual RS-232 serial interfaces, and 0–50°C operating range.
Product Introduction (Anti-Template)
The WOODWARD 5466-409 is the processing core used in a legacy MicroNet Digital Control configuration. With a 233 MHz Pentium processor and 64 MB of RAM, it provides the computing platform required to execute the installed control application and communicate with service or engineering equipment. It is a CPU board, not a field I/O module, so replacing it requires attention to the complete MicroNet architecture.
One detail matters quite a bit during procurement: the 5466-409 is intended for simplex operation and is installed in the expansion chassis. The documented arrangement also requires the appropriate Main Transceiver and Remote Transceiver when the CPU is installed in the expansion rack.

QC, Procurement & Logistics SOP
1) Inbound Verification
Verify the module marking as 5466-409 and inspect the PCB, connectors, mounting hardware, labels, memory components, and visible revision information. Record the serial number and board condition before testing.
2) CPU & System Testing
Where a compatible MicroNet test environment is available, verify CPU startup, system recognition, application loading, and communication with the associated MicroNet architecture. A successful power-up alone is not enough for a CPU module; the installed application should also be checked.
3) Communication Testing
Test the Ethernet interface and representative RS-232 communication channels using the applicable service or engineering environment. Confirm that the interface configuration matches the customer’s installed system.
4) Application Verification
Before replacing an installed unit, record the application software version, controller configuration, communication parameters, and system architecture. The 5466-409 is a legacy computer platform, so software compatibility can be just as important as the hardware part number.
5) QA & ESD Packaging
Handle the CPU using ESD precautions. Place the board in an anti-static bag and protect the PCB, connectors, and mounting bracket with rigid cushioning. Record serial number and test status on the inspection sheet.
6) Procurement Check
Confirm that the customer’s system uses the MicroNet Digital Control architecture and that the required configuration is simplex. Verify the chassis position and transceiver arrangement before confirming interchangeability. The manufacturer documentation associated with this model includes MicroNet manuals 26166V1, 26166V2, and 26166V3.
7) Global Logistics & Export Compliance
For international shipment, confirm the commercial invoice description, country of origin, HS classification, declared value, and destination import requirements. Describe the item according to its actual function as a MicroNet CPU/control module.
8) Secure Air/Sea Packaging
Use ESD-safe packaging with rigid internal cushioning. The PCI-like board structure and external connectors should be immobilized so they cannot receive impact during transportation.
Technical Pitfalls & Integration Warnings
1) Do not confuse the 5466-409 with a field control or actuator module.
The documented product type is a MicroNet Pentium CPU Module. It is responsible for system processing rather than directly controlling a fuel valve or providing conventional field I/O.
2) Simplex configuration is important.
The 5466-409 is specified for simplex operation. It should not automatically be substituted into a redundant MicroNet configuration merely because another CPU has a similar physical form.
3) Check the expansion-chassis and transceiver arrangement.
When used in the expansion rack, the 5466-409 requires the appropriate Main Transceiver and Remote Transceiver arrangement. The chassis position therefore needs to be verified before installation.
4) Software compatibility matters.
This is a legacy Pentium-based control platform. The application software, operating environment, configuration files, and service tools should be checked before replacing the CPU. The 5466-409 is associated with the AppManager Service Tool for application startup and loading over Ethernet.
5) Do not substitute by processor speed alone.
Other MicroNet CPU models may also use Pentium-class processors but have different memory, software, chassis, or redundancy configurations. Exact part number and system architecture should be verified before substitution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the WOODWARD 5466-409?
It is a Pentium CPU module for Woodward MicroNet Digital Control systems.
Q2: What processor does the 5466-409 use?
Available technical references identify a 233 MHz Pentium processor with 64 MB RAM.
Q3: Is the 5466-409 a redundant CPU?
The documented configuration is simplex. It should not be assumed to support redundant operation.
Q4: Where is the 5466-409 installed?
It is installed in the expansion chassis/rack of the applicable MicroNet architecture and requires the appropriate transceiver arrangement.
Q5: What communication interfaces does it have?
The available documentation identifies one Ethernet interface and two RS-232 serial communication interfaces.
Q6: Is the 5466-409 still a current Woodward product?
Available technical references identify the model as obsolete/discontinued, so it is generally relevant as a replacement or engineering spare for installed legacy MicroNet systems.
Q7: What should I provide when ordering a replacement 5466-409?
Provide the complete part number, module photo, revision/serial information if available, MicroNet chassis configuration, application software information, and whether the existing system is simplex. For this legacy CPU, those details can prevent a visually similar but incompatible replacement from being supplied.
