Turbotronic 4 Control System Operations

Course Number
10203

Course Duration
5 days

Audience
Solar turbomachinery operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers

Prerequisites
Participants must have completed a Solar Operation and Maintenance Principles or Package
Operating Principles course. Equivalent experience is acceptable, if this course has not been
completed.

Course Description
This course is designed for package operators or maintenance technicians who are required
to perform basic first line control system tasks with minimal guidance from Solar field service.
The course will cover the Turbotronic 4 control system version.
The course will cover the knowledge and skills required to help maintain the package in a
serviceable state under several scenarios, including:
• Using the control system program to determine the conditions for package alarms
or shutdown
• Reloading the control system program following a component replacement or
system malfunction
• Loading a revised control system program that may have been received from Solar
• Restoring Turbotronic 4 ControlNet communications after loading a program, or in
the event of a system or components malfunction
• Modifying Tunable Program Constants

• The use of the control system indications for basic troubleshooting (for example, the
use of module channel LED’s to verify inputs and outputs)

The course comprises a combination of theoretical presentations and instructor demonstrations,


followed by hands-on exercises using programming terminals and control system simulators.
Manipulation of the logic is not covered in this course.
A Pre-Test and Post-Test will be administered to measure student progress as a result of the course.
