The RTX ENERGY is a module of acquisition, registration and control developed to perform the necessary functions for a speed governor in plants of medium and small sizes.

Main features of RVX ENERGY
1.  Controls Francis, Kaplan and Pelton (2 needles) hydraulic turbines through position references, speed and active power, keeping it in stable and secure operation;
2.  Internally transduces the controlled values in a precise and reliable manner;
3.  Automatically performs the processes of starting and stopping of the unit, in a complete manner or step-by-step;
4.  Controls the hydraulic unit;
5.  It supervises the process of speed control, signaling and acting in case of failures and alarms;
6.  It has friendly interfaces for configuration and operation, with different options of graphic or simplified devices;
7.  It communicates with the supervisory level of the plant by industrial protocol and analog and digital signals to indicate, respectively, magnitudes and states.

Physical Interface
To perform some of these tasks, you may need a complete interface of inputs and outputs.
In its most complete configuration are available:
3 analog inputs dedicated to the acquisition of terminal voltages;
3 analog inputs dedicated to the acquisition of terminal currents;
8 analog inputs for measurement of level, position, among others.;
8 analog outputs for actuators and indicators on panels;
3 fast inputs for measurement of frequency
48 digital inputs for key and sensors states
24 digital outputs for actuation of switching devices.
(Check when purchasing the amount of programmable I / Os)

The following communication channels are available:
Serial 232, to use graphic HMI or laptop in commissioning;
Serial 485; to access the supervisory level;
CAN to local HMI
A complete interface of enabling and failures guarantees the reliability and control of the RVX ENERGY in adverse situations.  All interfaces are insulated to guarantee a higher security and robustness.

Application
The RVX ENERGY was designed to be used in small and medium-size units of electricity generation.  It controls small turbines, and some associated processes.  In the figure below it is shown a diagram of the generic application of the RVX ENERGY. .
