Working Principle
The 505 continuously monitors turbine parameters and executes control algorithms to maintain setpoints. It outputs signals to electro-hydraulic converters to position valves, while continuously checking safety limits.
Installation Requirements
- Follow the 505 installation manual for wiring and grounding.
- Ensure proper MPU gap and signal strength.
- Provide clean, regulated power.
Usage Precautions
- Always verify overspeed protection before operation.
- Keep firmware and configuration backups.
- Perform regular functional testing of all I/O.
