A steam valve control device of this embodiment controls a steam valve. The steam valve has: an upper cover in whose through hole a bush is installed; and a valve rod which is installed so as to penetrate through the through hole of the upper cover via the bush. The valve rod has a contact surface which is formed so as to come into mechanical contact with the bush when the steam valve is opened to a maximum opening degree. The steam valve control device has a control part. When a governor free operation is performed, the control part controls the steam valve by setting a limited opening degree limited to be smaller than the maximum opening degree as an upper limit. When a load limiter operation is performed, the control part controls the steam valve by setting the maximum opening degree as the upper limit.

Steam valve control device and steam turbine system

Provided is an optical module including: an optical assembly incorporating a light emitting or receiving device for converting one of an electrical signal and an optical signal into another of the electrical signal and the optical signal; a circuit board electrically connected to the optical assembly; an optical fiber optically connected to the optical assembly; a tray for winding the optical fiber therein and pulling out the optical fiber therefrom; and a case receiving the optical assembly, the circuit board, the optical fiber, and the tray. In the optical module, the tray is fixed with respect to the case so as to be reciprocatingly movable only within a restricted range, and the tray is moved from a position to another position within the restricted range so as to be moved away from an electrical connection section between the optical assembly and the circuit board.
