Ovation® Expert Transition

for Siemens Teleperm XP Control Systems

Transition to Better Controls From 

a Better Supplier 

Today’s competitive business environment requires optimal 

performance not only from your power plant generation 

equipment, but also from your operations and maintenance 

personnel. 

Are you currently experiencing any of the following Teleperm XP 

control system issues that may be prohibiting your plant from 

optimal operations?

• Poor performance and reliability

• Multiple systems for a single power block

• Limited system-to-system communication

• Inadequate product service and support

• High support costs from outdated technology

• Considering TXP replacement after only 3-5 years in service 

If yes, then you need a supplier with vast power industry expertise 

that can provide performance-enhancing technology combined 

with comprehensive support to optimize your plant operations. 

That supplier is Emerson. 

Are you ready to experience increased satisfaction with better 

controls and award-winning support services? If so, then make 

the transition to Emerson and discover why we are the leaders 

in power generation controls and automation with a full suite 

of products and services.

Use Today’s Technology While Preserving 

Yesterday’s Investments

Transition your Teleperm XP control systems to proven Ovation 

technology for enhanced turbine operations. Emerson migration 

programs have been proven to reduce project costs and improve 

plant operations in hundreds of installations on various control 

system platforms, even those from other vendors.

Key to our transition strategy is an integrated Ovation Profibus®

DP I/O module that interfaces directly to the Profibus DP 

communication network used in the Teleperm XP system to 

connect with the ET200M I/O. Our solution provides your 

operators complete control and monitoring capabilities from 

a single Ovation system, without starting over. Your transition 

choices include retaining your existing I/O, terminations, and 

field wiring – or migrating your entire legacy TXP system to 

Ovation for a complete technology upgrade.

Emerson’s transition program includes a total replacement of the 

embedded Teleperm XP SIMADYN system with native Ovation 

turbine I/O modules, enabling quicker response times and tighter 

controls. Our turbine I/O was designed specifically to handle 

unique control requirements such as turbine speed pickups, fast 

closed-loop positioning of major servo-operated valves, and 

interfacing to electro-hydraulic servo valve actuators. 

Use of fully-redundant I/O interface modules and high-speed 

Ovation Controllers, with proven logic such as 2-out-of-3 testable 

manifolds assures the highest level of reliability, performance, and 

safety for your demanding gas and steam turbine operations.
