310SV Steam Turbine Control
Product Description
|
 |
|
|
The 310SV is a configurable controller that provides
automatic startup sequencing, speed control, and process control
for a single-valve steam turbine driving a mechanical load (e.g.
pump, fan, compressor). The user can choose from a wide
selection of control options to match the turbine operational
requirements.
|
Major features include:
- Completely automatic turbine startup
- Eight configurable speed bands, each with separate ramp rates and
idle times
- Critical speed band avoidance
- Startup, Run, Droop, and Overspeed Test tuning constants for the
Speed PID
- Process PID for control of process suction or discharge
measurements
- Local and remote speed and process setpoint control
- Rugged front panel operator interface
- Flexible, configurable I/O
- Modbus serial data communications
- Powerful PC Configurator
Front Panel Operator Interface
The enclosure, front panel display, and rugged pushbuttons and
selector switch are all rated NEMA 4 for outdoor installations. From the
front panel, the operator can:
- Start and stop the turbine
- Perform overspeed trip testing
- Enable/disable process control
- Change speed and process setpoints
- Monitor analog I/O values
- View and acknowledge alarms
Flexible, Configurable I/O
The 310SV continues the Triconex tradition of flexible, configurable
I/O for turbomachinery controllers. It includes six flexible, digital
I/O points, each configurable as a digital input or output by selecting
the corresponding plug-in module. Input and output modules are available
with a comprehensive range of voltages and current specifications to
meet the requirements of almost any application. The user may choose
from 17 input functions and 18 output functions (including nozzle valve
control) for each flexible digital I/O point. The 310SV also includes
five separate remote digital inputs that can each be configured from a
list of 17 input functions. The remote digital inputs make it easy to
connect a group of 24V DC digital inputs from a remote control panel
with configurable functions like start, stop, speed raise/lower, halt,
continue, idle/run, and alarm acknowledge.

Powerful
PC Configurator
The
310SV Configurator is a Windows-based software application that allows
the user to configure the controller from a PC. The Configurator makes
setup easy with features like an expandable parameter view, drop down
menus, and check boxes. Detailed online help minimizes the need to refer
to the User’s Guide during configuration. Configurations can be easily
downloaded/uploaded to/from the 310SV. A comparison feature makes it
easy to recognize the differences between two configuration files.
The 310SV Configurator allows real-time monitoring of I/O values and
states, calculated values, and alarm and trip history. Selectable
real-time trending and recording are also available.
One of the most powerful features of the Configurator is the Simulate
mode, which allows the user to test a configuration on the PC, without
running the turbine or even connecting to the 310SV controller. The user
can simulate a turbine startup and confirm configured speed ranges, ramp
rates, and digital I/O functions without leaving an office environment.
The Simulate mode can also be used as a tool to train technicians and
operators.
