5009FT


5009FT Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) Fault Tolerant Steam Turbine Control

Woodward’s 5009FT TMR controls industrial steam turbines of all sizes and types in system-critical applications requiring maximum reliability and availability. This steam turbine controller includes specifically-designed algorithms and logic to start, stop, control, and protect industrial steam turbines or turbo-expanders, driving compressors, generators, or pumps. 


Designed for today’s plant standardization practices, the 5009FT control system’s versatile program can be configured to control steam turbines that are: 

  • single valve
  • single extraction
  • single admission
  • single extraction/admission 

The 5009FT control’s unique PID structure makes it ideal for petrochemical or power generation applications where it is required to control steam plant parameters like:

  •  compressor speed
  • generator frequency
  • turbine load
  • turbine inlet pressures
  • exhaust header pressures
  • tie-line power

Fault-tolerant I/O handling and processing

  • Latent fault detection on relay outputs
  • Time-stamped alarms and trips
  • Discrete input time-stamp with 1 ms resolution
  • Analog input time-stamp with 5 ms resolution
  • Extensive fault detection and annunciation—including first-out indication
  • Critical speed avoidance (3 speed bands)
  • Auto start sequence (hot & cold starts)
  • Three sensors per critical parameter can be configured
  • Dual speed/load dynamics
  • Zero speed detection with proximity probe down to 0.5 Hz
  • Peak speed indication for overspeed trip
  • Automatic hand valve operation (using first stage pressure)
  • Independent Modbus® * communication links
  • Remote analog setpoints for all PIDs
  • CCT (Configuration & Commissioning Tool)—17” (43 cm) touchscreen engineering workstation for configuration, service, and Turbine operation.

5009FT control functional capabilities:

  • Speed/frequency control
  • Turbine or generator load control/limiting
  • Extraction and/or admission header pressure control
  • Compressor control (optional add-on)
  • 1 or 2 loop
  • Anti-surge protection
  • Performance control
  • Turbine inlet header pressure control/limiting
  • Turbine exhaust header pressure control/limiting
  • Plant import/export power control/limiting
  • Isochronous load sharing between units (with EGCP-3 controls)
  • Any process directly related to unit load
  • Proportional or integrating Servo Position Control with LVDT/RVDT excitation (part number dependent)
