Every compressor needs a reliable control system (PLC) A modern PLC-based control and protection system is essential for start-up, shutdown, stable, and safe operation. It regulates key parameters such as speed, pressure, and temperature, ensuring optimal performance while protecting equipment from overload and potential failure. Recently, a customer approached us with recurring reliability issues caused by an aging PLC - combined with growing difficulties in sourcing spare parts. This is a common challenge: while compressors typically operate for 30 – 40 years and can have a life expectancy of 60 – 70 years, PLCs often become outdated within 15 – 20 years. To address this mismatch, we provided an upgraded control system designed to deliver long-term reliability, availability, and peace of mind for the decade ahead - and beyond. The upgrade includes: ⚙️new Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) ⚙️new Human Machine Interface (HMI) ⚙️state-of-the-art software for the system with customized Burckhardt Compression standards ⚙️new local operator panel for hazardous area ⚙️new compressor instrumentation for: temperature, pressures, level transmitters, flow, and vibration sensors ⚙️Edge device added to allow the customer to communicate with online services via cloud ⚙️all necessary documentation updated ⚙️installation services We support customers worldwide in modernizing obsolete control systems with state-of-the-art solutions. If you’re operating compressors with aging automation, we’re here to help you improve reliability, performance, and lifecycle security.
