Take a deep dive into the role turbomachinery plays in carbon capture and storage to learn best practices for optimization.
WATCH NOWProdigy® is the new industry standard for turbomachinery control platforms.
Built upon 40 years of institutional knowledge and experience in controlling some of the most challenging turbomachinery trains in the world, Prodigy has been designed to reduce total lifecycle cost, optimize production throughput, and reduce maintenance costs. Prodigy is the platform you can trust for the most demanding processes where ease-of-use is a paramount requirement of operation and maintenance personnel.
Now Achilles Level 1 Certified for Robust Cyber Security Communications
The CCC Prodigy® platform now bears Level 1 certification from the GE Digital Achilles Communications Certification program. This recognition serves as your assurance that Prodigy meets high standards for your device’s industrial cyber security and that the platform helps prevent casual or coincidental violations of security.
Single platform for all your turbomachinery control needs
Prodigy is a highly scalable hardware platform that can be deployed as a simplex small I/O system for controlling auxiliary machines to a duplex large I/O system for controlling a gas turbine driven compressor. In addition to supporting the field-proven standard control applications, Prodigy also supports custom logic programming by user based on IEC 61131-3 standards. This eliminates the need to have a separate PLC for sequencing and auxiliary control purposes – simplifying the solution architecture and saving space. The following IEC 61131-3 programming language standards are supported:
- Ladder diagram (LD)
- Function block diagram (FBD)
- Structured text (ST)
- Instruction list (IL)
- Sequential function chart (SFC)
Built small, built tough
Prodigy has been designed to save space by integrating field termination assemblies (FTAs) into its compact 19 inch form factor. A full duplex chassis with 96 I/O channels has a similar footprint of a typical 22 inch widescreen monitor.
Prodigy has also been certified for installation in Class 1, Div 2 environment as well as carrying conformal coating to withstand Severity Class G3 environmental conditions.
Designed for maximum availability
Prodigy also has advanced functionalities that improves system availability and maintenance ease-of-use.
