Designed for CENTUM VP FCS

To make CCC solutions easier applied for industrial operations,
we developed CCC Inside for CENTUM VP turbomachinery control platform. Antisurge, Performance, Master, Loadsharing, Speed Control and other TMC applications for centrifugal and axial compressors with steam turbines, expander or electric motor drive – all within the CENTUM VP FCS controller.

The power of standardization

CCC control applications are configurable, not programmable. The controls can be configured for a specific application from a library of field-proven turbomachinery control algorithms. Each control application has been continuously improved and expanded over the course of 50 years.

Developed, tested, and supported as a complete system

In the turbomachinery control field, where interactions between control loops occur in a matter o f milliseconds, the requirement to design and test the overall solution as an integrated system is paramount. Compressors, turbines, motor drives and auxiliary equipment are tested together with the rest of Process Control System to ensure smooth operation in all operating modes.

Familiar Operator Interfaces

Access to Operator faceplates and Compressor Maps is important to understand the current compressor operation and behavior. Integrating specific Turbomachinery screens with the rest of Operator graphics allows understanding the current situation easier and faster, providing insight into the long-term compressor performance and saving precious time in case of a difficult situation.

Transmitter Freeze detection

Freeze detector calculates the amplitude of the variations in the signal content. If this variation falls below the normally expected values, the system generates an alarm. The initial values are set during commissioning and can be later tweaked by the engineering personnel. 

Transmitter Drift Detector

If there’s a deviation between two signals in a dual redundant transmitter pair, the more conservative value is always selected, leading to safer, but often inefficient action from the controller. For example, in the case of dual redundant differential pressure transmitter, if one is showing lower value than the other, the lower reading is usually selected. If that reading falls below the controller setting, it’ll start opening the Antisurge valve.
