  • Methods and Systems for Modifying Turbine Control Systems
    Publication number: 20080288120
    Abstract: Methods and systems for modifying a turbine control system may be provided for. A method may include replacing at least one legacy main controller processor communicating in a first communication protocol with a current main control processor communicating in a second communication protocol, retaining at least one legacy IO processor in communication with at least one turbine monitoring device communicating in the first communication protocol, and providing at least one converter in communication with the current main controller processor or processors and in communication with the legacy IO processor or processors. The converter may translate communications between the current main controller processor or processors and the legacy IO processor or processors by translating between the second communication protocol and the first communication protocol.
