The 8200-1300 can control single or dual split range actuator steam turbines. It can be configured as part of a plant’s DCS (distributed control system) or it can be used as a stand-alone unit. It is designed with five PID controllers, including a speed/load PID controller, a cascade PID controller, and AUX1 and AUX2 PID controllers. The unit offers an operator control panel with a graphical control panel display and keypad included. This panel includes an emergency stop button, start, stop, esc, and home buttons, a number keypad, and toggle up/down buttons as well as an enter key with up/down and left/right buttons. The panel also has four LEDs on its left side, including CPU health, IO Lock, Summary Alarm, and Summary Trip.

Internally, the 8200-1300 includes a watchdog timer and a CPU fault circuit to monitor the operation of the microprocessor and its memory.
