 WEDGE CONTROLLER

• WEDGE Controller is the heart of

the machine monitor and control
system.
• It provides data collection, alarming
and control functions for
compressor operations.
• It is an Intel micro-controller
based unit with analog and digital
inputs and outputs.

• First function of the WEDGE is to scan

all analog and digital inputs at a fixed
interval. The inputs are scanned every
50 milliseconds. The values are then
compared against min. and max. values
and an ALERT or SHUTDOWN is issued.
• Second function to monitor discharge
press., and varies engine speed to
maintain air press. at desired setpoint.
• Third function to retrieve diagnostic info
from the engine.

• There are two types of temperature

sensors, RTD’S and Thermistors.
• Both of these devices exhibit a
change in resistance as the
temperature changes.
• This resistance change causes an input
voltage change to the WEDGE
Controller Input and is interpreted as
a temperature change.
