The MT30 control system provides fully integrated alarm, monitoring and control functions for the packaged gas turbine, including overspeed protection. An integral back-up power supply is an option. A distributed processing architecture uses modern databus technology to provide improved reliability through simplified wiring and a reduced number of connectors, with main processors and power supplies located on the outside of the package enclosure.
The system supports Fully Integrated Control System unmanned operation by making engine control and monitoring available over dual redundant databus and hard-wired signals for full integration into the platform control system. It can also be set to log predetermined engine/package data for optional off-board engine health monitoring and logistical support.
A local control panel is provided to display all necessary engine and package parameters and enabling control of engine functions, maintenance and calibration activities.
