Kaeser Kompressoren Gmbh

Reinhold Hofmann

The invention relates to an electronic control system for aggregates which generate compressed air or vacuums. The inventive system comprises programmable electronic circuits for controlling, regulating and monitoring the technical functions of aggregates of this type, especially the functions of the compressed air generator or the vacuum pump and the corresponding drive mechanisms, and air treatment. The aim of the invention is to provide a control system which will simplify construction (design), production, assembly, commissioning, maintenance, checks for defects and repairs despite the variety of different types of aggregates and the different conditions of use. To this end, the inventive electronic control system is configured as a standardized control system for use in a number of different aggregates for generating air pressure and/or vacuums and has an industrial PC or microcomputer which is monitored and controlled by an operating system and which has one or more microprocessors and a central data memory. The data memory contains at least control and regulation software as well as a number of aggregate-specific data profiles which are each provided for a particular type of aggregate and can be called up separately.
