Comp 1Comp 2Comp 3Multiple Compressor Control built-in
Each Elektronikon® has the unique MCC, Multiple Compressor Control, built-in. MCC
efficiently coordinates individual regulators in a multiple compressor installation, in
this way reducing the overall system operating pressure, increasing system pressure
stability and optimising maintenance scheduling.
All this results in considerable savings on the operation of your compressed air plant.
The Elektronikon® MCC offers a significant opportu-
nity to reduce the overall system pressure band in
comparison with traditional cascaded compressor
control. Every 1 bar reduction of the average system
pressure stands for 7% energy savings. Losses of
compressed air due to system leakage are reduced
with 13%. These two factors can account for overall
energy savings of 10% over the lifetime of your
compressors.
The Elektronikon® MCC stabilises the air supply through coordinating the control of
individual compressor regulators. By lowering the overall system pressure band and
offering the sophistication of electronic decision making, the MCC offers an inherently
more stable and coordinated control algorithm for multiple compressor installations.
The Elektronikon® MCC also allows optimised
maintenance scheduling in a multiple compressor
installation. The MCC ensures that the installed
compressors wear evenly so that necessary mainte-
nance can easily be planned and executed, in this way
preventing costly downtime of your process.
Regular service at correct intervals will actually save
you money over the lifetime of the compressor
installation.

Peace of mind through professional care
Participate in one of Atlas Copco’s varied Service agree-
ments and you can be assured of an efficiently operating
compressed air system 24/7. The truly unique
AIRmonitor system allows our service organisation to
supervise your com pressed air system, warn you and take
preventive action to avoid costly process downtime.
Pre-emptive attention through using the AIRmonitor
system will increase the overall efficiency of your
compressed air system, expand the expected lifetime of
the Atlas Copco equipment and most importantly save you
money.
You can tailor specific plans to address your plant’s
needs: from simple monitoring and preventive mainte-
nance to complete responsibility over your entire com-
pressed air system by highly trained Atlas Copco service
engineers. Contact your local Atlas Copco representative
today to learn more about how we can serve you better.
Plant management system integration
The Elektronikon® regulator integrates easily into your
existing plant management system by applying one of our
protocol conversion modules. Through a single fieldbus
cable, all data observable on the Elektronikon® can
instantly be added to your plant’s DCS, Distributed
Control System. We support the standard commercial
protocols Modbus, Profibus and Ethernet. Only one
protocol conversion module, called ComBox, is required
per installation.
