Powerful I/O Modules
The new input and output (IO) modules for turbomachinery control applications provide powerful features for the high-speed control and protection of turbomachinery.
They have a highly reliable dual redundant configuration and an intermixed signal interface for handling both analog and digital data.

The IO modules come in two types, providing a comprehensive control solution for the power generation industry.
The Servo Module is designed to control turbine speed by interfacing with specific sensors and actuators to manipulate steam and fuel control valves.
The High Speed Protection Module is designed to protect the turbine from overspeed and other critical conditions by shutting steam and fuel valves.

Features
- Servo module for turbomachinery speed control
- Protection module for turbomachinery protection
- High-speed control at 5 or 10 msec intervals
- Programmable protection logic
- Dual redundant configuration
- Analog-digital intermixed signal interface
