310SV
Single-Valve Steam Turbine Control

The 310SV is a configurable controller that provides automatic startup sequencing, speed control and process control for a single-valve steam turbine driving a mechanical load (e.g. pump, fan, compressor). The user can choose from a wide selection of control options to match the turbine operational requirements.

Major features include:

Completely automatic turbine startup
Eight configurable speed bands, each with separate ramp rates and idle times
Critical speed band avoidance
Startup, Run, Droop and Overspeed Test tuning constants for the Speed PID
Process PID for control of process suction or discharge measurements
Local and remote speed and process setpoint control
Rugged front panel operator interface
Flexible, configurable I/O
Modbus serial data communications
Powerful PC Configurator

Front Panel Operator Interface
The enclosure, front panel display, and rugged pushbuttons and selector switch are all rated NEMA 4 for outdoor installations. From the front panel, the operator can:

Start and stop the turbine
Perform overspeed trip testing
Enable/disable process control
Change speed and process setpoints
Monitor analog I/O values
View and acknowledge alarms

Flexible, Configurable I/O The 310SV continues the Tri-Sen tradition of flexible, configurable I/O for turbomachinery controllers. It includes six flexible, digital I/O points, each configurable as a digital input or output by selecting the corresponding plug-in module. Input and output modules are available with a comprehensive range of voltages and current specifications to meet the requirements of almost any application. The user may choose from 17 input functions and 18 output functions (including nozzle valve control) for each flexible digital I/O point. The 310SV also includes five separate remote digital inputs that can each be configured from a list of 17 input functions. The remote digital inputs make it easy to connect a group of 24V DC digital inputs from a remote control panel with configurable functions like start, stop, speed raise/lower, halt, continue, idle/run and alarm acknowledge.

I/O Summary

Pulse Inputs	2 inputs, 20-20,000 Hz
Analog Inputs	2 inputs, 4 - 20mA
Analog Outputs	2 outputs, 4 - 20 mA
Actuator Output	1 output, 0 - 20 mA (800 ohm load) or 0 - 160 mA (100 ohm load)
Flexible Digital Inputs/Outputs	6 input/output
Inputs	24 V DC, 120 V AC, 240 V AC
Outputs	24 V DC (3.5 A), 200V DC (1.0 A), 120 V AC (3.5 A), 240 V AC (3.5 A)
Remote Digital Inputs	5 inputs, 24V DC

Powerful PC Configurator
The 310SV Configurator is a Windows-based software application that allows the user to configure the controller from a PC. The Configurator makes setup easy with features like an expandable parameter view, drop down menus and check boxes. Detailed online help minimizes the need to refer to the User’s Guide during configuration. Configurations can be easily downloaded/uploaded to/from the 310SV. A comparison feature makes it easy to recognize the differences between two configuration files.

The 310SV Configurator allows real-time monitoring of I/O values and states, calculated values and alarm and trip history. Selectable real-time trending and recording are also available. One of the most powerful features of the Configurator is the Simulate mode, which allows the user to test a configuration on the PC without running the turbine or even connecting to the 310SV controller. The user can simulate a turbine startup and confirm configured speed ranges, ramp rates and digital I/O functions without leaving an office environment. The Simulate mode can also be used as a tool to train technicians and operators.
