RENNER compressor controls
Compressed air supply must be reliable and economical. This is guaranteed by an intelligent control as well as for individual units and for
RENNER compressed air systems.

RENNERtronic – the user-friendly basic control

Performance features

Pressure control within two adjustable pressure limits
Customers can determine two pressure limits within limits set by the
factory based on which the compressor is controlled. Switching bet-
ween the pressure limits is carried out by switching an appropriately
programmed input.
Capture of operating and load hours
To identify uneconomical operation where load hours are highly
variable.
Monitoring of adjustable maintenance intervals
For different compressor components, such as air filters or oil filters, pending on the set pressure limit and transmits this to the converter
maintenance intervals can be programmed. A message appears
when maintenance is due.
Different code levels
The menu system is protected from unauthorised changes by various
code numbers (e.g. factory code, service code, customer code).
Base load change over function
The control also has a base load change over function that can be
activated via the menu (additional module required).
Control of frequency converters
A PI control is integrated for controlling compressors with frequency
converters. This control determines the rotating speed setpoint de-
as an analogue signal (additional module).

Fault memory
The last ten messages stating the current operating hours are
displayed on the control for diagnostic purposes.

RENNERtronic Plus – the control for oil-free air compressors

The RENNERtronic Plus control offers users of oil-free air compressors an ideal, efficient and safe system operation.
The control software is specifically optimised for oil-free compressors and offers many options to set the compressor
according to your requirements. In order to exploit all the potentials, it is possible to connect existing compressors to the
RENNERtronic Plus.

Oil-free SCROLL compressor Water-injected compressor

For the multiple compressor systems of the SCROLLline SuperSilent We have developed additional RENNERtronic Plus features for our
series, the integrated base load change over function (BLCO) of the water-injected screw compressors:
RENNERtronic Plus control precisely optimises the use of several • Automatic regulation of the water volume in compressors of the
SCROLL compressors. This allows the performance to be balanced RSW/RSWF series

RENNER interconnected intelligent control systems
Use your compressed air station economically! The RENNER interconnected intelligent control system is a superordinated, intelligent control
for the optimal management and monitoring of your compressed air station.

The RENNER interconnected intelligent control systems are

characterised by their high economic efficiency and reliability. By
connecting your compressors intelligently and based on
consumption, you will not only exploit major energy saving
potentials but your machines will also be more reliable. The display
has a touch screen and is easy to operate.

Performance features/special features

of the RENNER interconnected intelligent control system:

1) Controls up to 12 compressors irrespective of the machine type:

• RENNER compressors
• Third-party compressors
• Standard compressors with load/idle cycle control
• Speed-controlled or fixed speed compressors
• Piston or screw compressor

2) All compressors operate in one common, narrow pressure limit.

This means:

• Same switch-on and -off points for all compressors

• Pressure limit can be reduced to a minimum
• High energy savings due to maximum pressure reduction
• Older compressor stations also become more economical in
next to no time

3) All the connected compressors are managed via an RS485 bus

system
