The TS320 is a 1 or 2 valve configurable controller for both mechanical drive and generator applications. The TS320 is suited for control of steam turbines driving mechanical loads, such as process pumps, compressors, as well as steam turbines driving generators in process plant and utilities.

Major features of the TS320 include:

Standard

• Completely automatic turbine startup
• Configurable speed bands, with separate ramp rates and idle times
• Critical speed band avoidance
• Speed and process setpoint control from the front panel, analog inputs, digital inputs, or serial communications
• One additional stand-alone PID controller
• Flexible, configurable I/O
• Modbus serial data communications
• Powerful, user-friendly PC Configurator
• Keypad and four-line vacuum fluorescent display operator interface

Generator Control Version

• Integral automatic/manual synchronization and generator breaker closure
• Megawatt cascade control
• Inlet, extraction/induction, and backpressure control combinations
• Selectable priority (power or pressure) for two-valve turbines
• Load limit control

Mechanical Drive Control Version

• Process cascade control (choice of suction pressure, discharge pressure, or flow)
• Interactive speed and extraction/induction control
• Special Single Automatic Speed/Inlet Pressure two-valve control (SASIPR)
• Selectable priority (power or pressure) for two-valve turbines
• Inlet valve (V1) limit control
