The Turbo Control - Steam is developed to deliver robust, precise, and highly flexible steam turbine control across industrial, power generation, and compressor applications. Built on a modular and scalable hardware platform, it moves beyond the limitations of conventional speed governors by combining plug‑and‑play expansion with intelligent, configurable software. Auto‑detectable hardware cards, distributed I/O, and an adaptable control architecture make it easy to tailor one unified controller to anything from simple mechanical drives to advanced multi‑valve steam turbines. Designed for harsh environments and engineered for long‑term reliability, the Turbo Control - Steam Turbine brings together high‑performance sensing, integrated protection, advanced pressure and speed control, and seamless communication interfaces—ensuring stable, future‑ready turbine operation even as system demands evolve.

Packages that fit your application

With its modular design, the Turbo Control - Steam adapts seamlessly to your operational needs, offering three distinct packages: Core, Extended, and Premium - each tailored to specific requirements.

Core Package

The Core package of the Turbo Control - Steam is designed to deliver reliable speed control for industrial applications and simple mechanical drive uses. This configuration does not include breaker control but provides input and output options to ensure straightforward integration.

Extended Package

With the Extended package, users can select between speed control and condensate or backpressure applications, making it an excellent choice for both power generation and compressor operations. This version offers an optional GPM I/O module, expanding connectivity and functionality. The feature set is broader than the Core package, providing enhanced flexibility while remaining accessible.

Premium Package

The Premium package encompasses all the capabilities of the Extended package and further introduces full extraction functionality, catering to the most advanced steam turbine requirements. Like the Extended version, it supports optional GPM I/O, but distinguishes itself by offering the complete suite of TC Controller features for maximum operational performance.
