VRU Pro

You know and trust the FW Murphy Production Controls name for your compression needs. Now experience the VRU Pro, dedicated to controlling your system and designed specifically for tank battery vapor recovery compressors. The VRU Pro Controller pairs with single stage reciprocating, screw or scroll compressors and is certified for CSA Class I, Div. 2 hazardous areas, giving you the peace of mind required for your hazardous natural gas applications.

The controller keeps the compressor in a ready-to-start condition until tank pressure reaches a preset level. At that point, it starts the compressor to recover the vapors and draws pressure back down to the set point, when it then turns off the compressor. It’s designed to utilize either AC or DC power. The controller is equipped with 18 fit-for-purpose fixed digital, analog, thermocouple and frequency inputs and nine field-effect transistor (FET) and analog outputs.

Features:

   ·  Full featured Vapor Recovery Unit controller
   ·  Comprehensive signal monitoring and control
   ·  Automatic start and stop based on suction pressure
   ·  Fit for purpose, multifunction I/O including analog inputs / outputs and thermocouple inputs
   ·  Engine / electric motor monitoring and protection features are selectable
   ·  CAN SAE J1939 engine communications with option to adjust speed via TSC1 messages
   ·  Setup configurable through keypad
   ·  CSA C1D2 hazardous-area rated; standard
   ·  MODBUS RTU monitoring and remote control ready (RS-485)

TTD Series

TTD is a fully configurable solid-state fault annunciator and shut-down control system designed to protect engines, pumps, compressors and associated equipment. The TTD model accepts 48 sensor inputs from normally open and/or normally closed sensors. Each of the 48 inputs can be configured for shutdown or alarm only. The annunciator provides for both closing of a fuel valve and grounding of an ignition after a time delay.

This easy-to-operate panel features a simple interface. One display head is common to all configurations which requires fewer spare parts. The optional tachometer may use CD ignition or MPU input. The panel offers optional pre-lube or post-lube functionality as well as optional no-flow detection. With the TTD series, the display head is common to all configurations allowing fewer spare parts required to be maintained in the field. Its user-selectable templates provide ease of retrofit by selecting configuration of existing annunciators via display keypad or download from a computer with Windows-based MConfig installed. Any input can be locked out by one of the two start-run timers or configured as Class C, ESD or ignore.

Features:

   ·  Simple interface - Easy to operate
   ·  One display head is common to all configurations requiring fewer spare parts
   ·  Optional tachometer using CD ignition or MPU input
   ·  Optional pre-lube & post-lube functionality

LCDT Selectronic Tattletale System

The LCDT Selectronic Tattletale system is a compact fault annunciator with an electronic alarm/shutdown control system. It’s designed to protect engine-driven or motor-driven compressors and pumps. The annunciator indicates the sensor, and hence the parameter, that causes an alarm or shutdown. In addition, a means is provided for testing the operation of each sensor without initiating an alarm or shutdown.

At the heart of the system, the basic annunciator component has two variations: the Model LCDT-NO, which accommodates normally open sensors; and the Model LCDT-NC, which accommodates normally closed sensors. These units are enclosed in an aluminum box having a brush finish. The LCDT system accommodates 47 NO or 45 NC sensor inputs, 15 of which may be locked out during start up by the start/run timer delay.

Employing a liquid crystal display, the LCDT system gives a digital reading of the tripped sensor and the lockout timer countdown. A separate power supply is provided with the model LCDT instrument. Power may be supplied by CD ignition, a 120 VAC line or by 12- or 24-VDC battery. Intended for use with all Swichgage instruments without OS option.

S1501 Selectronic Microcontroller

The S1501 instrument is a microprocessor-based alarm, shutdown and control system with tachometer/hourmeter function. It annunciates in alphanumeric characters the protective device that has signaled an alarm or caused equipment shutdown. Information is called up and adjustments are made on a six-button keypad on the face of the unit. Configurations such as alarm or shut-down nomenclature, preset timers and tachometer calibration can be made in the field.

The complete S1501 system consists of a head, sensor input terminal strip (two needed for 64 sensor models), 36-inch (914 mm) flat ribbon cable(s) for connecting the terminal block to the head and a Class I, Div. 1, explosion-proof power supply. The S1501 system is powered from 120 VAC or 12 or 24 VDC. The head is rated intrinsically safe and includes a communication port, jumper selectable for either RS232 or RS485, operating as a MODBUS RTU slave. This port allows for remote control functions such as start/stop, load/unload, etc., and for read access to S1501 holding registers.

The FW Murphy S1501 system has seven SPDT relays. On the standard model, the relays are assigned to the following functions: lube, crank, ignition/motor, fuel valve/cooler, load, alarm and shutdown. The S1501 system can be configured to monitor applications such as air and natural gas compressors, natural gas refueling and other industrial operations. MConfig™ Software can be used to download to or upload from the S1501 and to save configurations.
