Working Principle
The controller continuously monitors turbine parameters through its programmable inputs. Based on the selected control program, the microprocessor calculates the required valve positions and outputs analog signals to the electro-hydraulic converters. It dynamically adjusts steam or gas flow to maintain the precise target speed or load while continuously monitoring for fault conditions.

Installation Requirements

  • Must be installed using a control room mounting configuration.
  • Requires a stable, clean power supply with appropriate surge protection.
  • Ensure the operating environment does not exceed specified temperature and humidity limits.

Usage Precautions

  • Strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines when modifying parameters in Programming Mode.
  • Never bypass or disable overspeed protection logic or safety interlocks during operation.
  • Perform regular functional tests of the self-diagnostic system and actuator feedback loops.
