Product Short Description

Product Name:​ Digital Governor / Turbine Protection Controller (ProTech™ GII family)
Product Overview:
A microprocessor‑based control and protection device intended for steam turbines, gas turbines, compressor drives, and generator set management. It executes speed/load control while simultaneously performing overspeed, vibration, axial‑shift, and temperature protection with trip relay output.

Functional Features:
  • Speed & Load Control​ – Configures diesel/gas engine speed or load; supports soft load transfer, torque limiting, MAP limiting, low‑speed sensing, and adaptive speed sensing algorithms.
  • Multi‑Engine Governing​ – Suitable for industrial engines, steam turbines, gas turbines, dual‑fuel turbines, compressors, and turbo‑expanders.
  • Protection Functions​ – Overspeed, vibration, axial displacement, temperature; triggers shutdown (trip) upon dangerous condition.
  • Diagnostics​ – Local LCD display, data logging capability, Modbus reporting.
  • Redundant Communication​ – Built‑in redundant Ethernet ports plus two serial ports.
Application Scenarios:​ Oil & gas production, power generation, industrial turbomachinery, marine propulsion auxiliaries, and process plants requiring SIL‑rated trip protection.
Working Principle:​ Continuously samples magnetic‑pickup speed pulses and analog transducer inputs, evaluates them against configurable setpoints, and drives a solid‑state trip relay when a voted dangerous condition is detected; speed control is closed‑loop via PWM or analog governor bias.
Installation Requirements:​ Mount in a control cabinet with clean, dry air; ensure 24 V DC supply is isolated and noise‑filtered; route field wiring away from high‑voltage conductors; ground the enclosure to plant earth.
Usage Notes:​ Do not bypass the trip relay in running condition; verify voting configuration before energizing; periodic functional test of the trip path is mandatory; firmware changes require engineering approval.
