Practical Case
In a power generation plant, the MVME – 147A is used as a control unit for a steam turbine. The serial ports are connected to sensors that measure parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed of the turbine. The MVME – 147A continuously collects data from these sensors, processes the data in real – time, and sends control signals to the turbine’s actuators to maintain optimal operating conditions. One day, there was a sudden change in the steam pressure. Thanks to the real – time processing capabilities of the MVME – 147A, it quickly adjusted the control signals to the actuators, preventing any potential damage to the turbine and ensuring the stable power output of the plant.
