The Flex500 control system represents a new generation of turbine and engine control. This controller is based on a standard industrial hardware platform that offers robust, low-cost control for a wide variety of turbine, engine, and compressor applications. The platform’s real-time operating system and dedicated inputs and outputs provide deterministic performance for key prime-mover-control functionality. The control is available in both Front Panel Mount (with integrated HMI) and Rear Panel Mount versions and may be configured for either Simplex or Dual-Redundant applications.
