- Machine Representation & Control
- Power System Overview
- Auxiliary Power Monitoring
- User Administration
- Trend Chart Representation
- Message System
- Data Export
Plant Control system supports following operation modes.
- Manual – Control each part of machine operations by operator over HMI
- Opening Limitation – Run Turbine at set wicket gate opening limit on HMI
- Level Control – Machine automatically adjust load according to availability of water.
- Load Control – Machine run at set Load on HMI
- Revision Mode – Use this mode for calibration & debugging.
- Island Mode – Run Machine without Grid connection
