System Compatibility
The WOODWARD 5501-470 CPU module is compatible with the following WOODWARD control platforms:
- MicroNet – Standard and TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) configurations
- NetCon 5000 – Legacy distributed control architecture
- 505 / 505E Digital Governor – As a processor upgrade path (verify chassis)
- Peak 150 / Peak 200 – Subject to firmware and I/O module compatibility
Always confirm chassis slot assignment, backplane revision, and firmware version with your system integrator or WOODWARD service partner before installation.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct CPU module for your application:
- Step 1 – Identify your control platform: Confirm whether your system is MicroNet, NetCon, or another WOODWARD architecture.
- Step 2 – Check chassis revision: CPU modules are often revision-specific. Match the 5501-470 to your chassis generation.
- Step 3 – Verify firmware version: Ensure the replacement CPU supports the firmware version currently deployed in your system.
- Step 4 – Assess redundancy requirements: For TMR or hot-standby configurations, confirm the module supports your redundancy scheme.
- Step 5 – Evaluate new vs. refurbished: New units offer full warranty; refurbished/exchange units offer cost savings with tested functionality.
- Step 6 – Contact Konmask for cross-reference: Our technical team can validate compatibility before you commit to a purchase.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the 5501-471 directly replace the 5501-470?
A: In most MicroNet chassis, yes — the 5501-471 is a pin-compatible revision upgrade. However, firmware re-flashing may be required. Contact us to confirm for your specific system.
Q: Is a refurbished 5501-470 reliable for critical applications?
A: Refurbished units from Konmask undergo functional testing and inspection. For safety-critical or SIL-rated applications, we recommend new OEM units with full traceability.
Q: Do you offer an exchange program?
A: Yes. Send your faulty unit and receive a tested replacement at a reduced cost. Contact us for exchange terms.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typical sourcing lead time is 5–15 business days depending on global availability. We will confirm before order confirmation.
Q: Can I get a datasheet or wiring diagram?
A: Yes — email support@konmask.com with your part number and we will provide available documentation.
