Woodward’s 5009FT TMR controls industrial steam turbines of all sizes and types in system-critical applications requiring maximum reliability and availability. This steam turbine controller includes specifically-designed algorithms and logic to start, stop, control, and protect industrial steam turbines or turbo-expanders, driving compressors, generators, or pumps.
Designed for today's plant standardization practices, the 5009FT control system's versatile program can be configured to meet your production needs.
Control steam turbines including:
- Single valve
- Single extraction
- Single admission
- Single extraction/admission
The 5009FT control's unique PID structure makes it ideal for petrochemical or power generation applications.
Control steam plant parameters including:
- Compressor speed
- Generator frequency
- Turbine load
- Turbine inlet pressures
- Exhaust header pressures
- Tie-line power
- Fault-tolerant I/O handling and processing:
- Latent fault detection on relay outputs
- Time-stamped alarms and trips
- Discrete input time-stamp with 1 ms resolution
- Analog input time-stamp with 5 ms resolution
- Extensive fault detection and annunciation—including first-out indication
- Critical speed avoidance (3 speed bands)
- Auto start sequence (hot & cold starts)
- Three sensors per critical parameter can be configured
- Dual speed/load dynamics
- Zero speed detection with proximity probe down to 0.5 Hz
- Peak speed indication for overspeed trip
- Automatic hand valve operation (using first stage pressure)
- Independent Modbus® * communication links
- Remote analog setpoints for all PIDs
- CCT (Configuration & Commissioning Tool)—17” (43 cm) touchscreen engineering workstation for configuration, service, and Turbine operation.
Functional capabilities:
- Speed/frequency control
