Micro-TB Controller
For Industrial Gas Turbines up to 15 MW
Answers for Energy
Siemens Energy is a world leader in industrial gas turbines for power generation
and mechanical drive applications. As part of the comprehensive portfolio of customer services activities, Siemens can offer modern control system upgrades for
our TB fleet of gas turbines.
Maintaining Customer Operations
Siemens Micro-TB Controller is a modern micro processor
based control system designed specifically to retrofit
existing TB gas turbine controllers.
By replacing the existing control system with a modern
equivalent from Siemens, not only will this transform
reliability and availability, but it will open the door to a
range of other benefits that have become the expected
standard on modern turbine installations. The Micro-TB
Series provides a particularly cost-effective Controls
upgrade.
Based on a modern compact PLC and a TFT touch screen,
it offers a standard configuration of pre-engineered
modules which will suit almost any TB Generator or
Pump installation and, subject to review, compressor
sets. The screen display provides the operator with userfriendly mimics and messages which portray the
operational status of the turbine. In addition, any
abnormal conditions will be displayed in concise time
tagged alarm or trip messages. This provides the site
operators with a first-line diagnostic tool to reduce any
unscheduled down time. Installation is straightforward,
as the Micro-TB is particularly compact, and may be wall
mounted or erected on stanchions.
Although the design is standardised, a range of preengineered options allow for considerable flexibility in
meeting the specific needs of individual customers.
Customer Benefits
Improved reliability - resulting in fewer trips and
lower spares costs.
Improved availability - due to better diagnostics,
easier repair, and dependable spares supply.
Easier starting - as this is now fully automated, and
traditional flame viewing is replaced by an ‘inference’
system.
Improved operator interface - providing
comprehensive information on the major systems and
reducing operational errors.
Enhanced diagnostics - from clear and
comprehensive on-screen status displays.
Improved accuracy & stability - allowing maximum
use of the operational envelope.
Enhanced communications ability - using widely
accepted networking protocols.
Options
Various options are available to further enhance the
package including:
Fuel throttle valve & actuator replacements
Fuel shut-off valve and slam-shut valve replacements
Vibration monitoring systems
Instrumentation upgrades
