The CPC’s redundancy features make it ideal for critical steam turbine applications, and hydraulic
where turbine up-time and availability are essential. This converter can be configured to connections
accept redundant pressure demand inputs, from one or two (redundant) controllers, and
vote the input to follow. Alternatively the CPC can be configured to accept signals from  Self cleaning valve

 Status & health
The CPC’s robust design (strong actuator, corrosion-resistant material, single moving

where dirty or contaminated oil may be present.  Control pressure
Optionally two controllers can be connected to a single CPC in a redundant Master/Slave readout
fashion to allow the turbine to continue to operate if either turbine control fails, or on-line
changes are desired. Designed for use in applications requiring full redundancy,  Software service
optionally two CPCs can be applied in a dual-redundant fashion, simplifying the entire tool with trending

Description  American
Hazardous
The CPC is an electrohydraulic pressure-regulating valve control that utilizes a very Locations
accurate internal pressure sensor and PID controller to precisely control steam turbine  Compliant with
valves. The CPC consists of a valve-actuator assembly, pressure sensor, and electronic
driver module. The unit’s driver module accepts one (or two) 4–20 mA pressure setpoints applicable CE
and compares these setpoints to the sensed oil pressure, to accurately control turbine Directives—ATEX,
valve oil pressure. Machinery, PED,
and EMC
The CPC controls oil pressure by porting supply-oil to its control-oil output port (turbine
valve control oil) or back to the system supply tank. This converter’s special PID  Certified for use in
architecture allows it to perform very stable pressure control during normal conditions, explosive
and respond in milliseconds to desired valve step changes during system or plant
transients. As a means of protecting the turbine, an internal valve-return-spring forces the atmospheres within
CPC to a failsafe position (port oil to drain) and safely close turbine control valves upon the Russian
any internal unit failure (electrical input power failure, pressure sensor failure, processor Federation
failure, etc.).
