2.1.3 Cellular Module
The Governor™ controller features a cellular module that is connected to the display by USB. This
connects into the iConn by Gardner Denver™ platform to provide machine health monitoring and
analysis.
Figure 3: Cellular Module
The cellular module is shown in Figure 3 above. It is mounted in the control cabinet 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 optimal
operat
ion under the customer’s parameters. 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 looked at
individually and collectively to check for a variety of different 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.
