Woodward 9906-705

Product Identification:​ MicroNet™ Plus Turbine Control Panel component — part of Woodward’s MicroNet digital control platform for gas turbine applications (specifically documented for LM6000PA/PB/PC/PD/PF gas turbines).
Product Overview:​ The 9906-705 is associated with Woodward’s MicroNet Plus turbine control system — a digital control platform engineered for safety-critical turbine and compressor applications. The MicroNet platform is designed to provide comprehensive control, protection, and monitoring for gas and steam turbines. When paired with a MicroNet Safety Module (MSM), the system achieves IEC 61508 SIL-3 compliance.
