MILWAUKEE, Sept. 6, 2011 — Three new turbomachinery control (TMC) packages from Rockwell Automation incorporate standard, commercial, off-the-shelf control and visualization technology for fast installation and troubleshooting at a lower total cost of ownership. Solutions for one- and two-valve steam turbines, and single-stage compressors are all preconfigured with proven TMC control algorithms and offer extensive communication and diagnostic capabilities for improved uptime.
“These new packaged solutions offer cost-effective, advanced technology solutions for applications that were previously considered too small to warrant the investment,” explained Rick McLin, turbomachinery controls business manager, Rockwell Automation. “The solutions also feature graphical representation of machine operations via a standard human-machine interface, making configuration, startup and troubleshooting much easier for engineers and operators less familiar with TMC control.”
