Description
The C3 Series Centurion Configurable Controller is a control and monitoring system. Primary designed for engine driven compressors, the C3 Series is well suited for many control applications using standard configurations to save money and reduce training. Additionally, Murphy can custom design a control package to meet exact specifications for a variety of applications.
The Centurion controller continuously monitors input signals and set points and commands outputs to maintain proper operation. When an out-of-limits event occurs, the controller will stop, shutdown, or control equipment to change conditions. The Auto-Start capabilities of the C3 Series allows for start/stop based on parameters such as pressure set points or by digital signals.
The Centurion provides real-time data via communications ports to a connected display and/or supervisory system. This advanced system offers multiple options for remote communications and operation including HMI's, PLC's, PC’s, and SCADA systems. The industry standard Modbus® protocol means greater support for a wide variety of communication equipment including radio and satellite communications systems.

Competitive Advantages
Monitor large numbers of field switches with 32 digital inputs
The C3-1A E6-K-0115 includes 32 optically isolated digital inputs that allow operators to connect pressure switches, shutdown signals, and safety interlocks directly to the controller. This enables centralized monitoring of multiple field devices without requiring additional input modules.
Collect process signals directly from transmitters using 4-20 mA inputs
With 12 analog input channels supporting 4-20 mA and 0-5 V signals, the C3-1A E6-K-0115 can connect directly to industrial transmitters measuring pressure, flow, and temperature. This reduces the need for external converters and simplifies field wiring.
Control engines and actuators through relay, FET, and IGBT outputs
The C3-1A E6-K-0115 provides 10 digital outputs, including relay contacts for shutdown circuits, FET outputs for control signals, and IGBT outputs for higher power switching tasks. This output combination allows direct control of starters, valves, and actuators.
Integrate compressor stations with SCADA systems using Modbus communication
Through RS232 or RS485 interfaces, the C3-1A E6-K-0115 supports the Modbus RTU protocol, enabling real-time data exchange with HMIs, PLC systems, and SCADA platforms. Operators can remotely monitor alarms, runtime data, and process variables.
