About the 5453-279
The 5453-279 is a TMR Chassis from the MicroNet Digital Control series by Woodward. The unit acts as the central system for the MicroNet series. The 5453-279 is equipped with 12 I/O slots for MicroNet modules to fit into. The I/O modules allow for external communications. The chassis also allows for CPUs and kernel power supplies to be added to the unit.
The 5453-279 uses the kernel power supply to run the system components. The kernel power supply and CPU must be compatible with each other in order to run correctly and efficiently. The CPU acts as the "brains" of the system. CPU stands for central processing unit. The unit is equipped with three fans that work to prevent the modules from overheating during use.
This chassis also works to protect the modules that are fitted into the unit. The modules can be fragile, but the chassis provides an extra level of protection. The 5453-279 weighs around 17 pounds, which will fluctuate depending on the modules installed in the unit.
