Controls System and Remote Monitoring Support

EXTEND THE OPERATIONAL LIFE OF EXISTING RUSTRONIC MKII CONTROLS SYSTEM:


Gas Turbine Services appreciates that upgrading your existing Rustronic MKII Controls System is not always economically viable or required and therefore has developed capabilities to offer support for this system through the remainder of your plant’s lifetime.


GTS can offer life extension of your Rustronic MKII controls system by providing

Site surveys to determine exact configuration of the existing Controls System
Testing of existing onsite cards and re-certification
Recommend critical operational parts to be held onsite
Health checks
Card repairs and exchange options
New, Re-engineered or Reconditioned card supply
Remote monitoring and onsite trouble shooting
There are several improvements that can also be made to Rustronic MKII to ensure that, as well as continuing to perform the current function, the system can achieve the functionality of contemporary PLC systems. These include:
Upgrade of touch screens to modern standards – increasing screen size and improving responsiveness and readability for users
Upgrading the ISM to solid state devices (SD & flash card options) instead of the hard disk and floppy disk configuration. This improves management and storage/control of software
Providing communication of measurement parameters and system status to PI to allow improved management and interrogation of the system, for performance benchmarking and RCA
Provision of updated screens to incorporate client specific information, performance indicators and improved data logging
Provide plug and play upgrades to sub-systems increasing reliability and functionality, including vibration monitoring systems, fuel skids/valves and controllers
CONTROLS SYSTEMS UPGRADES & RETROFITS:


If the operator requires complete Controls Systems Upgrades and Retrofits, GTS ICE controls solutions are designed specifically for the Upgrade and Retrofit of SGT / Ruston Gas Turbine controls and are easily adapted to site specific requirements.


KEY FEATURES:


ALLEN BRADLEY PLC HARDWARE:

Interfaces to the existing field devices
GTS ICE PLC SOFTWARES:

Proven PLC software with excess of 150,000 turbine running hours on installed systems
Existing sequencing and protection functionality will be replicated
Enhancements will be implemented, and the software modified to incorporate any other changes to the fire and gas, VGV, vibration and fuel systems
PLC programming utilises ladder logic and structured text
Various security features prevent unauthorised modifications
GTS ICE HMI:

Interfaces directly with the Allen Bradley PLC without the need for RSLinx
Clearer display with more data accessible with 4 mimics per page on the TCM screen (17”) and 6 mimics per page on a widescreen desktop HMI screen (26”)
The HMI PC can act as a remote monitoring server
Digital Output Forcing
Full access to PLC parameters
Additional HMI PC’s can be set up easily without significant license costs
VIBRATION MONITORING UPGRADE:

Utilises either Bently Nevada 3500 or Allen Bradley XM vibration monitoring hardware
INCORPORATE OTHER UPGRADES.

The new control system can work without needing to change any existing field devices
Alternatively, the new control system (PLC hardware and software) simplifies the upgrade of other key equipment such as the Gas Fuel Valve, Liquid Fuel Valve, VGV and Fire and Gas system. Such upgrades can be carried out at the same time as the control system change or later if more convenient
Bespoke remote monitoring options are available tailored to your specific requirements. For further information please contact us.
