Testing of the GTE ACS solution on the Mitsubishi MELSEC iQ-R PLC

Specialists of Advantek Engineering LLP are testing a gas turbine control system on the Mitsubishi controller platform.
Engineers from Advantek Engineering LLP have started testing their Gas Turbine Engine (GTE) Automatic Control System based on the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-R industrial controller.
The testing aims to expand the range of PLCs supported by the company’s proprietary GTE control solution. The Mitsubishi platform provides high-speed signal processing, flexible configuration options, and robust performance under demanding industrial conditions.
For customers, this opens up additional advantages — the ability to select equipment that best matches specific technological and economic requirements, reduce dependence on a single manufacturer, and optimize project costs without compromising functionality or reliability.
The tests are being conducted under laboratory conditions and include verification of control algorithms such as the fuel control regulator, as well as diagnostic and protection functions.
The results of the tests and the efficiency analysis of the system’s performance on the Mitsubishi platform will be presented in upcoming company updates. We will be pleased to share further details about the achieved performance indicators, algorithm adaptation features, and the prospects for future industrial applications of this solution.
