Multiple Compressor Control built-inEach Elektronikon ® has the unique MCC, Multiple Compressor Control, built-in. MCCefficiently coordinates individual regulators in a multiple compressor installation, inthis way reducing the overall system operating pressure, increasing system pressurestability and optimising maintenance scheduling.All this results in considerable savings on the operation of your compressed air plant.Net pressureAveragepressureMin. systempressureTraditional cascade controlComp 1Typical overallpressure band 1.5 barComp 2Comp 3MCCWith MCCoverall systempressure can bedrastically reducedThe Elektronikon ® MCC offers a significant opportunityto reduce the overall system pressure band incomparison with traditional cascaded compressorcontrol. Every 1 bar reduction of the average systempressure stands for 7% energy savings. Losses ofcompressed air due to system leakage are reducedwith 13%. These two factors can account for overallenergy savings of 10% over the lifetime of yourcompressors.The Elektronikon ® MCC stabilises the air supply through coordinating the control ofindividual compressor regulators. By lowering the overall system pressure band andoffering the sophistication of electronic decision making, the MCC offers an inherentlymore stable and coordinated control algorithm for multiple compressor installations.The Elektronikon ® MCC also allows optimisedmaintenance scheduling in a multiple compressorinstallation. The MCC ensures that the installedcompressors wear evenly so that necessary maintenancecan easily be planned and executed, in this waypreventing costly downtime of your process.Regular service at correct intervals will actually saveyou money over the lifetime of the compressorinstallation.

Simple, flexible and comprehensive networkingPlant management system integrationThe Elektronikon ® regulator integrates easily into yourexisting plant management system by applying one of ourprotocol conversion modules. Through a single fieldbuscable, all data observable on the Elektronikon ® caninstantly be added to your plant’s DCS, DistributedControl System.
