The cellular module is shown in Figure 3 above. It is mounted in the control cabinet on DIN rail and
connected to an antenna mounted on the top of the compressor package.
2.2 Features and Method of Control
The Governor™ controller is responsible for safe operation of the compressor package and is optimized for
the customer based on their machine specifications.
The Governor™ controller utilizes Gardner Denver’s
heritage of compressor package design and operation to intelligently determine when the machine is
operating normally and when it needs attention. System inputs, such as pressure and temperature, are
monitored individually and collectively to check for a variety of different system conditions.
When running the machine, the controller ensures that the customer’s pressure requirements are
maintained. After configuring and enabling the controller, all operation is automatic. The controller can be
set up to start / stop on a schedule and use two different pressure bands to more efficiently meet system
demand. Programmable inputs and outputs are available to interface to an array of external equipment.
Modbus and remote interfaces are provided to monitor the machine.
