Primarily designed for engine/electric motor driven compressors, the Centurion is well suited for many control applications using standard configurations to save money and reduce training. Additionally, FW Murphy specializes in custom designing control packages to meet exact specifications for a variety of applications.

Continuously monitoring input signals, set points and command outputs to maintain proper operation, the Centurion C5 Controller will stop, shut down or control equipment to change conditions when an out-of-limits event occurs. The auto-start capabilities of the Centurion allow for start/stop based on parameters such as pressure set points or by digital signals.

The Centurion provides real-time data via communication ports to a connected display and any remote monitoring system through Ethernet and serial methods.

This Centurion consists of one C5 main I/O module, one M-View display module and the option of adding MX4-R2 and MX5-R2 expansion I/O modules. The Centurion is designed for use only within a weatherproof enclosure. No special cables required.
