The REGULUS has expansive Input / Output (I/O) module
capabilities. Sensing instrumentation input is processed to provide
precise output signals to control devices located in the main air and
auxiliary systems.
Air system operational information and set point data is easily stored
on a large capacity memory flash card for future reference and
downloading to a computer.
A conveniently located USB port is provided to access the REGULUS

REGULUS Sequencer
With the addition of the REGULUS Sequencer package, plant operators have the ability to incorporate the most comprehensive
master controller available for multiple compressors. The REGULUS Sequencers unique control methodology assures that
each compressor in the system shares the load against total system demand in the most energy efficient manner. This exclusive
control scheme provides energy savings by making certain that all of the compressors utilize their full turndown capability before
unloading air to the atmosphere. The capabilities also include time-sharing functions and automatic run time equalization.
