310SV Steam Turbine Control
The 310SV is a configurable controller that provides automatic startup sequencing, speed
control, and process control for a single-valve steam turbine driving a mechanical load
(e.g. pump, fan, compressor). The user can choose from a wide selection of control
options to match the turbine operational requirements.
Major features include:
Completely automatic turbine startup
Eight configurable speed bands, each with separate ramp rates and idle times
Critical speed band avoidance
Startup, Run, Droop, and Overspeed Test tuning constants for the Speed PID
Process PID for control of process suction or discharge measurements
Local and remote speed and process setpoint control
Rugged front panel operator interface
Flexible, configurable I/O
Modbus serial data communications
Powerful PC Configurator
Front Panel Operator Interface
The enclosure, front panel display,
and rugged pushbuttons and selector switch
are all rated NEMA 4 for outdoor installations.
From the front panel, the operator can:
Start and stop the turbine
Perform overspeed trip testing
Enable/disable process control
Change speed and process setpoints
Monitor analog I/O values
View and acknowledge alarms
Flexible, Configurable I/O
The 310SV continues the Triconex tradition of flexible, configurable I/O for turbomachin-
ery controllers. It includes six flexible, digital I/O points, each configurable as a digital
input or output by selecting the corresponding plug-in module. Input and output modules
are available with a comprehensive range of voltages and current specifications to meet
the requirements of almost any application. The user may choose from 17 input functions
and 18 output functions (including nozzle valve control) for each flexible digital I/O point.
The 310SV also includes five separate remote digital inputs that can each be configured
from a list of 17 input functions. The remote digital inputs make it easy to connect a
group of 24V DC digital inputs from a remote control panel with configurable functions
like start, stop, speed raise/lower, halt, continue, idle/run, and alarm acknowledge.

Powerful PC Configurator
The 310SV Configurator is a Windows-based
software application that allows the user to
configure the controller from a PC. The
Configurator makes setup easy with features
like an expandable parameter view, drop
down menus, and check boxes. Detailed
online help minimizes the need to refer to
the Users Guide during configuration.
Configurations can be easily downloaded/
uploaded to/from the 310SV. A comparison
feature makes it easy to recognize
the differences between two configuration files.
The 310SV Configurator allows real-time monitoring of I/O values and states, calculated
values, and alarm and trip history. Selectable real-time trending and recording are
also available.
One of the most powerful features of the Configurator is the Simulate mode, which allows
the user to test a configuration on the PC, without running the turbine or even connecting
to the 310SV controller. The user can simulate a turbine startup and confirm configured
speed ranges, ramp rates, and digital I/O functions without leaving an office environment.
The Simulate mode can also be used as a tool to train technicians and operators.
