Steam-turbine controllers

Staff -- Control Engineering, 10/1/2003

310SV and 320 controllers provide configurable control solutions for steam turbine applications. The 310SV provides automatic startup sequencing, speed control, and process control for a single-valve steam turbine driving a mechanical load. Windows-based software interface lets users configure the controller from a PC, trend and record I/O values and states, and view alarm and trip history. The 320 unit provides the same controls for a one-valve or two-valve steam turbine driving a generator or mechanical load. It offers flexible digital and analog I/O configuration and Modbus serial data communications.
