Abstract: A control system for a compressed air system is configured to implement an “away mode” of operation that provides for a temporary override of the operation of the compressed air system, which can be easily enabled and disabled. During a period of down time, when the away mode of operation is enabled, the control system causes the compressed air system to operate in a limited capacity (e.g., maintaining limited system pressure, flow, higher dewpoint/humidity level, etc.) to minimize energy usage and limit unnecessary wear on system equipment without shutting down the compressed air system.

Abstract: A compressor system includes a lead compressor operable to produce a flow of compressed fluid at a first output and a lag compressor operable to produce a flow of compressed fluid at a second output. The sum of the first output and the second output defines a system output. A lead variable speed motor is operable to drive the lead compressor at a first compressor speed to vary the first output and a lag variable speed motor is operable to drive the lag compressor at a second compressor speed to vary the second output. A sensor is operable to measure a system load, and a lead motor drive is operable to control the speed of the lead variable speed motor and to set a desired operating state of the lag variable speed motor in response to a comparison of the system load and the system output.
