Dresser-Rand Control Systems

Easy to use, understand and operate.

NEW EQUIPMENT CONTROL SYSTEMS

Standard and custom applications are designed to meet client specifications. D-R Control Systems are supplied upon request for Dresser-Rand gas turbine, steam turbine, motor, pump, expander, generator, centrifugal, and reciprocating compressor packages and are available for use on equipment manufactured by other OEMs.

FULLY INTEGRATED TRAIN CONTROL

All control, monitoring and protection features are integrated into one, easy-tomaintain controller. Reducing the number of independent controllers increases the reliability and availability of the control system, because there are fewer components. Fewer controllers typically reduce the cost of the system, reduce the required size of the control panel and reduce the number of spare parts that must be maintained.

RETROFIT CONTROL SYSTEMS

D-RCS will replace obsolete systems and components to increase the reliability and availability of critical equipment. Complete control system retrofit packages that include the control and monitoring system, instrumentation, installation, and commissioning services are also available.

PLC INFORMATION
The PLC is the heart of the control system. It ensures proper sequencing and protection for the rotating machinery, lube and seal systems and related process equipment. The PLC can also interface with SCADA and distributed control systems (DCS).

SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND DATA ACQUISITION (SCADA)

SCADA is used in gas gathering, wellhead and general industrial control and monitoring applications using state-of-the-art programmable logic controllers (PLC), communication systems and human machine interface (HMI).

DI-TRONICS IV integrated turbine and compressor control.

Designing and building control systems around open industrial PLCs, D-RCS has evaluated and selected three primary platforms as the PLCs of choice because of their proven performance, worldwide acceptance, support, and adaptability to most control and client applications. The standard PLCs include Rockwell (Allen-Bradley), GE and Triconex . PLC-based control systems are available in simplex, duplex and TMR configurations. In keeping with Dresser-Rands commitment to provide clients with control solutions that are best suited to each unique application, D-RCS also designs systems using other major PLCs and client-preferred equipment including Woodward, CCC, various specialty PLCs, DCS, and safety systems when required.

STANDARD FEATURES
All Dresser-Rand control systems come with standard features that ensure reliable operation and a comprehensive and intuitive operator interface with remote access capability. Standard screens Standard screens provide all necessary control and monitoring data for the user. The HMI is easy to learn and understand. Screen modifications and new screen development are intuitive and can be carried out by operators and maintenance personnel as required.

DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
PLC diagnostics provide clients with information to support troubleshooting hardware and system problems. Diagnostics significantly reduce system downtime because they help lead the operator or the maintenance technician straight to the problem. The HMI system provides users with essential information such as permissive to start and start sequence screens, which serve as diagnostic tools if the unit is not ready to start or if it fails during start-up. In addition, Dresser-Rand offers a suite of condition monitoring applications with the Envision system. Envision provides

REDUNDANT PLCs
Dual- and triple-redundant PLCs offer higher control system availability. All functions inherent within the PLC, such as gas turbine fuel control, steam turbine governor control, compressor surge control, etc. are redundant. This provides significant cost savings when compared to redundant, standalone controllers. Multiple trains can also be controlled using one triple redundant system, whereby the process equipment shares a symbiotic relationship with each piece of rotating machinery.

INTEGRATED FEATURES

Surge control Our PLC-based surge control system has a universal performance curve and is patented by D-RCS. It is effective with variations in molecular weight, gas temperature and gas compression. Tuning adjustments are made from the HMI. The HMI also provides real-time, dynamic graphing of the operating point. Turbine control The turbine control system is PLC-based for use with gas turbine fuel control (industrial and aero-derivative) and steam turbine governors (condensing and extraction). Tuning adjustments are also made from the HMI.
