COMPRESSOR CONTROL SYSTEMS
Regulus® R3000
The Regulus R3000 is an advanced PLC-based centrifugal compressor control system designed for complex, custom-engineered air and gas compression applications.
Built to accommodate demanding process requirements, the R3000 combines flexible control configurations, advanced monitoring capabilities, and integration with plant operating systems. Optional FS-Connect IIoT remote monitoring provides additional visibility into compressor performance, helping support operational efficiency, equipment reliability, and proactive maintenance.
Features & Benefits
With state-of-the-art PLC technology, the R3000 seamlessly integrates FS-Elliott’s Energy Advisor and Maintenance Notification System. This ensures your compressor operates at its peak performance, minimizing downtime and enhancing overall efficiency. Discover how the R3000 can elevate your operations to new heights.
Deliver the Air You Need With Less Waste
Unnecessary pressure and excess air production can increase operating costs. The R3000’s pressure and capacity control modes help match compressor output to system demand.
Pressure Band Optimization supports operation around the minimum pressure your system requires, helping your team manage energy use while maintaining the air supply production depends on.
Put Your Operators in Control
The R3000’s 12-inch color touchscreen brings compressor controls and operating information together in a familiar, tablet-style interface. Operators can review conditions and access settings in one place, making everyday monitoring and adjustments more straightforward.
For greater visibility beyond the control panel, the R3000 also offers optional FS-Connect remote monitoring. This technology provides access to compressor operating data and performance insights remotely, helping teams monitor equipment health, identify potential issues, and make informed maintenance decisions to maximize uptime and reliability.
Recognize Conditions That Need Attention
Visibility into compressor conditions helps your team respond when operation changes. Available temperature, vibration and filter monitoring provides information to support troubleshooting and maintenance decisions.
Alarm and trip notifications alert operators to conditions requiring attention, supporting a timely response and helping safeguard equipment.
Coordinate Compressors Around Plant Demand
For facilities operating multiple compressors, optional Integrated Compressor Control assigns lead and lag machines according to demand, helping minimize excess air production and bypass.
Optional Ambient Compensation Control adjusts the surge control line as ambient conditions change, helping maintain efficient operation across changing plant conditions.
Application-Specific Controls
Designed for demanding engineered applications, the Regulus® R3000 offers advanced control capabilities and highly customizable configurations tailored to complex operational requirements.
With rugged and hazardous-area enclosure options, industry-specific certifications, redundant system architecture, and advanced features such as anti-surge protection, ambient compensation, and integrated compressor control, the R3000 delivers precise, reliable performance in even the most challenging industrial environments.

FS-Elliott Unveils the Cutting-Edge R3000 Control Panel
FS-Elliott, a global leader in the engineering and manufacturing of oil-free, centrifugal air, and gas compressors, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the R3000 control panel. This highly configurable and customizable engineered PLC control system sets a new standard for reliability, energy efficiency, and advanced customization tailored to diverse centrifugal compressor applications.
Controlling a Multiple Compressor Installation Using Integrated Compressor Control
Integrated Compressor Control (ICC) is a coordinated sequencing feature that allows multiple compressors to maintain a constant system pressure while ensuring maximum energy efficiency and minimal blow-off.
When using the ICC feature, compressors are connected through an integrated Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network. The P2P network, coupled with the ICC sequencing software included in each of the local control panels, allows users to select any of the networked compressors as the master controller, thus creating redundancy and reducing cost by eliminating the need for a separate master controller.
Understanding Your Compressor Control System Technology
Compressor control technology has come a long way, from mechanical switches and relays to smart, touchscreen interfaces that integrate with plant-wide automation platforms. FS-Elliott’s history in this space mirrors that shift. As control needs became more complex, each generation of FS-Elliott’s systems brought new capabilities to help operators better manage performance, energy use, and maintenance.
