Section 50
The C4 Series Centurion Configurable Controller is a control and monitoring system. Primarily designed for engine/electric motor driven compressors, the
Centurion is well suited for many control applications using standard configurations to save money and reduce training. Additionally, Enovation Controls
can custom design a control package to meet exact specifications for a variety of applications.
The Centurion continuously monitors input signals and set points and commands outputs to maintain proper operation. When an out-of-limits event
occurs, the controller will stop, shutdown or control equipment to change conditions. The auto-start capabilities of the Centurion allow for start/stop based
on parameters such as pressure set points or by digital signals.
The Centurion provides real-time data via communication ports to a connected display and/or supervisory system. This advanced system offers multiple
options for remote communications and operation including HMIs, PLCs, PCs and SCADA systems. The industry standard *Modbus® RTU protocol
means greater support for a wide variety of communication equipment including radio and satellite communications systems.
