Rustronic MKII Control System

MKII Rack Plug & Play Upgrade

Reduced cost MKII plug and play upgrade solution replacing the unreliable, outdated and obsolete MKII racks and cards with an up to date supportable PLC based controller. At the same time maintaining the rest of the control system. This system utilises the existing ribbon cable connections and minimal modifications to the rest of the control system, making it as close as you can get to plug and play. This reduces cost and downtime of the controller upgrade. This also allows for modular upgrading of the full control system.

  • Governor
  • Sequencer
  • Temperature Spread Monitor

  • Modbus DCS Gateway
  • Remote Monitoring Gateway
  • SIL2 Overspeed
