Unlock more capability from your existing compressor with modern controls that support reliability, improve operating visibility, and help reduce energy waste.
Your compressor may still have years of productive service ahead, even when its controls are ready for an upgrade. Aging hardware, limited diagnostics, and outdated operating modes can make performance harder to manage and slow response to changing plant requirements.
FS-Elliott control panel upgrades bring modern Regulus® technology to compatible existing compressors. With options for industrial and engineered applications, our team helps match your control system to your equipment, operating priorities, and plant communication requirements.
Explore how an upgrade can strengthen equipment support, simplify daily operation, and bring more capability to your compressed air system.
Address aging control hardware with a modern platform designed for dependable compressor operation. Upgrading provides an opportunity to replace obsolete components and review the protection logic your equipment needs for continued service.
FS-Elliott evaluates your existing configuration and operating requirements to define the appropriate monitoring, alarm, and trip functions. The result is a control upgrade matched to your compressor, supporting reliable operation and long-term equipment value.
Bring compressor information into focus through a touchscreen interface and available diagnostics, data logging, and signal trending. Clear access to operating conditions helps your team understand equipment status and investigate alarms or system events.
Historical information provides context for changing performance, while maintenance notifications help operators track service needs. Together, these tools support more informed troubleshooting and maintenance planning.
Improve how your compressed air system responds to demand with control capabilities that help reduce unnecessary pressure, excess air production, and venting. Depending on the selected platform and configuration, Pressure Band Optimization targets the minimum pressure required to meet demand, while Ambient Compensation Control adjusts operation as ambient conditions change.
For multiple-compressor installations, optional Integrated Compressor Control coordinates lead and lag operation to match system demand. Energy Advisor complements these capabilities with recommendations that help operators identify opportunities to improve efficiency.
Connect your compressor with your plant’s monitoring and control environment through available communication interfaces. FS-Elliott reviews your integration requirements to identify the appropriate configuration for sharing operating information with existing plant systems.
Optional FS-Connect® Remote Monitoring extends access beyond the local panel through a web-based cellular connection. Authorized users can view available compressor data remotely, with notifications and reporting determined by the selected subscription and control system configuration.
FS-Elliott helps match your control upgrade to your compressor and operating requirements. The Regulus® family offers three options: R1000 for straightforward industrial control, R2000 for configurable PLC-based applications, and R3000 for customized engineered requirements.
Pre-engineered retrofit packages bring together the required hardware, cabling, and configured components for the selected platform. Our team helps define the upgrade scope and anticipated installation schedule so you can coordinate the transition with your facility’s maintenance priorities.
Consider an evaluation when replacement hardware is difficult to source, the operator interface is outdated, or your controls lack the monitoring, communication, or operating modes your facility needs. FS-Elliott offers a no-cost controls health check to help identify a suitable modernization strategy.
Yes, compatible compressors can receive a control panel retrofit. FS-Elliott reviews your equipment and existing control configuration to determine the appropriate platform and required upgrade scope.
R1000 and R2000 installations are typically completed in under a week. R3000 schedules vary with system complexity. The installation timeline and required compressor outage are confirmed during project planning so you can coordinate the work with your maintenance schedule.
Available platforms support communication options such as Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus over Ethernet. FS-Elliott can review your plant’s monitoring and control requirements to determine the appropriate interface and configuration.
Selection depends on your equipment, monitoring needs, communication requirements, and application complexity. R1000 supports standard industrial applications, R2000 provides configurable PLC-based control, and R3000 supports customized engineered requirements.

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.
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.
As facilities continue modernizing their operations, compressor control systems have become one of the most effective areas to improve reliability, energy efficiency, and day-to-day visibility. What began decades ago as simple protection logic has evolved into a plant-wide intelligence platform that helps operators run cleaner, safer, and more efficiently.
This blog highlights how compressor controls have evolved, why modernization matters, and what today’s systems can offer, while our latest Beyond Compression podcast episode takes a deeper dive into the full discussion.
