Rustronic Norbit Control System
Rustronic Norbit – Legacy System Modernization
The Rustronic Norbit control system was widely deployed on gas turbines and industrial machinery. While reliable in its era, Norbit is now obsolete, with OEM support discontinued and spare parts scarce. This creates risks of extended downtime, costly repairs, and compliance gaps.
At Conen Solutions, we specialize in upgrading or replacing Rustronic Norbit systems with modern, supportable platforms, ensuring improved reliability, safety, and functionality.
Challenges with Rustronic Norbit
- Obsolete hardware – OEM support ended years ago.
- Limited spare parts availability – Increasing reliance on refurbished components.
- Restricted functionality – No integration with modern SCADA, historian, or cybersecurity standards.
- High downtime risk – Failures often require emergency retrofits.
Our Upgrade Solutions
- Plug and Play Modular Upgrades
Upgrade individual modules within the Norbit control system. - Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or Siemens S7 PLC Replacement
Pre-engineered retrofit solutions that minimize downtime by reusing existing wiring and footprint where possible. - Modern HMI & SCADA Integration
Replacement of legacy operator panels with PC-based HMI using FactoryTalk View, WinCC, or AVEVA InTouch, featuring intuitive graphics, alarm management, and trending. - Safety System Enhancements
Integration of SIL-rated safety logic, overspeed trip systems, and vibration monitoring for compliance with IEC 61508 / IEC 61511. - Fuel & Actuator Upgrades
Options to replace hydraulic VGV actuators with electronic EVGV systems and upgrade fuel metering valves for improved efficiency and emissions control. - Cybersecurity & Connectivity
Architectures aligned with IEC 62443, OPC UA/MQTT integration for IIoT, and remote monitoring capability.
Benefits of Modernization
- Reduced downtime – Retrofit solutions installed during short outages.
- Improved reliability – Use of globally supported hardware.
- Enhanced functionality – Advanced diagnostics, trending, and remote access.
- Compliance assurance – Meets IEC, ATEX, and ISO standards for safety and cybersecurity.
