MCP-1004
Product Overview
MCP-1004 is a Main CPU Processor Module manufactured by Compressor Controls Corporation (CCC, now part of Honeywell), belonging to the XCALIBER 1000 turbomachinery control platform.
It serves as the core computing unit for large compressors, steam turbines and gas turbine control systems. The module executes anti-surge control, load regulation, sequence control and equipment protection algorithms. It communicates with I/O boards, vibration monitoring racks and plant DCS systems via internal bus and external communication ports. It adopts CPCI plug-in architecture and supports hot swap within certified control rack.
