SPPA-T3000
Scalability for all plant sizes
All the advantages of the Control System SPPA-T3000 – for every
plant size, even very small ones
Scalability at its best
SPPA-T3000: Scalable from the biggest
applications to the smallest. Package
suppliers in power plants and power
plant operators receive an added value
through the new scalability products of
the well-proven power plant control
system SPPA-T3000. When modernizing
the turbine control system of smaller
configurations, when implementing
new installations of packages, or when
performing process optimization, power
plant operators benefit from the new
scalability capabilities.
And for the smallest ones, the new
4 in 1 hardware unit of the proven
SPPA-T3000 System, the cAApS3000
(Compact Automation and Application
Server): the most compact way to use
power plant DCS functionality.
Uniform system – safe and cost
effective operation
The advantages of using a DCS, the
same DCS, for all application sizes are
obvious:
· All system software components,
such as monitoring and control,
alarming, archiving, diagnostics,
engineering, trends and reports use
one single user interface for optimum
and safe handling.
· All user interfaces and all functions of
the control system do exactly the
same as and provide the software
functionality of a DCS, even at the
smallest auxiliary system. This
reduces the familiarization effort for
the operators and provides flawless
engineering, high-performance
diagnostics, one uniform look and
feel and a consistent engineering,
operation and alarming philosophy.
