The BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 is a versatile digital input/output (I/O) module from WOODWARD, designed to interface between a primary control system and field devices. This module acts as a crucial signal gateway, acquiring discrete statuses and executing control commands with high reliability in demanding environments.
Application Scenarios:
In a large compressor station, the control system needed to monitor dozens of critical status points—from valve limit switches to emergency stop buttons—across a wide area. Hardwiring each signal directly to the main controller was costly and complex. By deploying the BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 as a remote I/O node, the station consolidated these signals digitally. The module reliably transmitted valve positions and alarm statuses over a network, while executing local shutdown commands, significantly reducing wiring costs and improving diagnostic capabilities. This showcases how the BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 solves pain points related to system scalability, installation expense, and signal integrity.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values:
The BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 is based on a microprocessor-controlled architecture that provides intelligent signal processing and communication.
Innovation Point 1: Configurable I/O and Filtering: Each input and output channel on the BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 can be individually configured via software. This includes setting debounce filter times for inputs to ignore contact bounce from mechanical switches, ensuring that only valid state changes are reported to the controller, which prevents nuisance alarms.
Innovation Point 2: Integrated Diagnostic Capabilities: The module continuously self-monitors its health and the status of field wiring. It can detect critical faults such as output short-circuits, wire breaks on input circuits, and power supply anomalies. These diagnostics are reported back to the host controller, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing mean-time-to-repair (MTTR).
Innovation Point 3: Robust Network Integration: Supporting industry-standard protocols like CANopen, the BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 seamlessly integrates into WOODWARD’s NetCon and other PLC-based control architectures. This allows for deterministic data exchange and decentralized control logic, distributing intelligence closer to the machinery and enhancing overall system responsiveness and redundancy.
Application Cases and Industry Value:
Project Case: Distributed Control for a Hydroelectric Power PlantA hydroelectric facility was modernizing its turbine control system. The existing panel was filled with individual relays and hardwired logic, making troubleshooting slow and expansions nearly impossible. The goal was to increase reliability and simplify future upgrades.Solution and Outcome: The old relay panels were replaced with a distributed I/O system based on WOODWARD’s BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 modules. One BUM60-12/24-54-B-001 was installed near the turbine governor to interface with solenoid valves and position feedback switches, while another was placed in the switchyard to monitor breaker statuses. The modules communicated with the main NetCon controller over a redundant CANopen network. This resulted in a 60% reduction in control panel wiring, a much cleaner and more organized cabinet, and a significant improvement in diagnostic visibility. Maintenance technicians could now pinpoint issues from the control room, slashing troubleshooting time from hours to minutes.
