APPLICATIONThe TS160 is a multi-loop microprocessor based controller designed to control compressor surge and performance. It’s designed for motor or turbine-driven centrifugal and axial compressors in process applications, including refineries, petrochemicals, paper manufacturing, gas transmission pipelines, and many others.

The TS160 is ideally suited for surge prevention because its fast (10ms input/output scan time and 50 ms loop cycle time), it’s got great experience-proven control algorithms and it’s good at math.

SOFTWAREThe TS160 control software combines field-proven surge protection and performance control algorithms with an intuitive configuration tool and an easy-to-use, Windows based real time compressor performance display. The TS160 also comes standard with fast trending, recording and event capture capabilities.

Compressor Surge and Peformance ControlsUsing our universal surge curve approach and experience-based auxilliary functions, the TS160 can be configured to protect your compressor while minimizing process upsets. There’s a long list of standard control features that include- setpoint hover, automatic safety margin adjustment, adaptive gain, surge override and more.

Programming SoftwareThe TS160 programmer is a Windows-based software application that allows the user to configure the controller from a PC. Simple and intuitive to use, configuring your basic surge application is as easy as selecting a control strategy, configuring the compressor surge curve in the surge curve tool and entering the transmitter scaling in the user-friendly drop-boxes. For applications that require a little more customization, the TS160 bridges the “application-gap” by providing programming tools that allow for added flexibility in your application configuration. Addtionally, the TS160 supports “on-line” changes to the application so you can modify the program while the compressor is running.

HMIThe TS160 Data Collection graphical HMI is accessible from your PC and includes a familiar P&ID graphic that shows compressor flows, pressures and valve positions as well as a real-time dynamic “X-Y” plot showing the surge line, safety margin, setpoint hover and the current operating point. In addition, the current compressor operating parameters are also displayed in a table-type format. A loop-selectable, time configurable real time trend is also displayed. The TS160 also supports both RS232 and 485 serial modbus communications.

Event CaptureThe TS160 comes standard with a high speed trend recording and event capture tool that allows you to specify events and capture operating data in a configurable 30 minute window.
