Like the Altronic II, II-CPU, CPU-2000, and CPU-XL that came before it, the NGI-5000 Advanced Ignition System is designed and built to deliver unprecedented value, performance, and reliability for critical large gas compressor applications worldwide.
The NGI-5000 is built around a Logic Module, a DCPM Module (distribution/control/power module), and a one-per-cylinder ignition output unit (CIU). Working in concert with a groundbreaking new ignition coil design, this Varispark®-enabled solution assures comprehensive control of the delivered spark energy, precision ion-sense- based indication of the spark voltage demand (in kV), and the capacity to directly monitor and annunciate combustion diagnostics – including both detonation and misfire. Like all advanced Altronic systems, the NGI-5000 is also backed by the commitment from Altronic and its Distributor partners to long-term product support, and regular new feature updates that can be conveniently added in the in the field over the lifetime of the product.
Incorporating both a high-performance micro-controller and microprocessor, the NGI-5000 seamless bridges the gap between the critical real-time control of the engine operation and the communication and interface with the outside world. Dual 1080P displays are integrated into the Logic Module for effective access to system data, configuration details, and user-configurable dashboards. Typically, one of the displays provides graphical indication of operating status, engine RPM, and ignition timing, with the configured to provide access to all other relevant system data and operating details.
In addition to supporting industry standard Modbus RTU, the NGI-5000 also incorporates an integral Ethernet switch and provides a port for connection to external systems via Modbus TCP, the Altronic Web Interface (AWI) tool, or other Ethernet-based protocols. All system configuration is accomplished through the AWI – no external terminal program is required.
The NGI-5000 system is certified* for use in Class I, Division 2, Group C and D hazardous areas.
* Final certification of system pending with NRTL. Expected completion in Q4 2023Input Pickups
