Atlas Copco Elektronikon® upgrade

Compressor control MkIV field upgrade

MORE BRAINS
FOR YOUR COMPRESSOR
 Elektronikon® MkIV – the smart upgrade

The Elektronikon® MkIV combines the latest PLC

controller technology with Atlas Copco’s cutting edge and
market leading compressor controller software.
The resulting package provides a broad array of tangible
benefits, including improvements in overall reliability and
uptime as well as energy reductions through improved
control algorithms and the optional possibility of an
AIROptimizer TM contract. Furthermore, the cost of an
Before upgrade
upgrade will be, in most cases, equivalent to or less than a
repair or replacement of an older control system.
