NFDR541-T50 Turbomachinery Controller

This GS covers the hardware specifications of digital input/output modules that can be installed in an FCN
autonomous controller.
For connection with field equipment, refer to “Field Connection Specifications” (GS 34P02Q30-01E) and “STARDOM
FCN/FCJ Installation Guide” (TI 34P02Q91-01E).

The General Specifications (GS) describe the features, functions, system configuration examples, engineering
environment, software operating environment, hardware configuration, installation environment, and compliant
standards of a turbomachinery controller using the STARDOM FCN autonomous controller, and outline the functions
of turbomachinery I/O modules.
As for the FCN, refer to “FCN Autonomous Controller Hardware (FCN-100)” (GS 34P02Q12-01E), “FCN
Autonomous Controller Hardware (FCN-500)” (GS 34P02Q14-01E), “FCN Autonomous Controller Functions

(FCN100)” (GS34P02Q01-01E) and “FCN Autonomous Controller Functions (FCN-500).” (GS34P02Q03-01E)

● FCN-based Turbomachinery Controller
The FCN autonomous controller can be applicable to a variety of processes from sequence control processes to
analog control processes. A wide variety of types of I/O modules are supported and a flexible system configuration
can be selected according to purpose.
Applying an FCN-based turbomachinery controller to the control of generator turbines or other turbomachinery such
as compressors also enables control of their ancillary facilities.
The CPU module, power supply, and communication can be made redundant for applications that require high
reliability.
● Turbomachinery I/O Modules
Combined use of an FCN autonomous controller and turbomachinery I/O modules makes it possible to control and
protect turbomachinery such as turbines and compressors. With the STARDOM turbomachinery controller, a flexible
system can be constructed according to the scope of control and the installation space.
Of the turbomachinery control and protection functions, processing that requires high speed response is carried out by
the turbomachinery I/O modules. There are two types of turbomachinery I/O modules: a servo module that performs
high speed servo control in a cycle of 5 ms and a high speed protection module that performs a high speed protection
action in a fast scan (5 ms) or a standard scan (10 ms).
