Potential Benefits
Siemens Energy Instrumentation,
Controls & Electrical has implemented
an innovative solution for modernizing
gas turbines that can be integrated into
a customer’s current or future plant
system using a scalable, standard,
proven platform. Upgrading to our
SPPA-R3000 Turbine Control System can
help you generate true long-term
benefits for operations, maintenance,
and service of your gas turbines. The
SPPA-R3000 is a cost effective, high
performance, modular solution that
can provide enhancement in system
reliability and capability. The SPPA
-R3000 can be implemented at low cost
based upon the plant’s configuration
and the customer’s requirement.

Operator Display
The easy to use SPPA-R3000 HMI displays
have several available options. The local
display panels provide information and
local control. The remote server client
option offers both operator control and
engineering functions to be done
remotely. The remote server client is
also available in a redundant server
configuration which can accept multiple
client computers for multiple users.
