RENNERtronic Plus – the control for oil-free air compressors

The RENNERtronic Plus control offers users of oil-free air compressors an ideal, efficient and safe system operation.
The control software is specifically optimised for oil-free compressors and offers many options to set the compressor
according to your requirements. In order to exploit all the potentials, it is possible to connect existing compressors to the
RENNERtronic Plus.

Oil-free SCROLL compressor Water-injected compressor

For the multiple compressor systems of the SCROLLline SuperSilent We have developed additional RENNERtronic Plus features for our
series, the integrated base load change over function (BLCO) of the water-injected screw compressors:

RENNER interconnected intelligent control systems
Use your compressed air station economically! The RENNER interconnected intelligent control system is a superordinated, intelligent control
for the optimal management and monitoring of your compressed air station.

The RENNER interconnected intelligent control systems are

characterised by their high economic efficiency and reliability. By
connecting your compressors intelligently and based on
consumption, you will not only exploit major energy saving
potentials but your machines will also be more reliable. The display
has a touch screen and is easy to operate.

Performance features/special features

of the RENNER interconnected intelligent control system:

1) Controls up to 12 compressors irrespective of the machine type:

• RENNER compressors
• Third-party compressors
• Standard compressors with load/idle cycle control
• Speed-controlled or fixed speed compressors
• Piston or screw compressor

2) All compressors operate in one common, narrow pressure limit.

This means:

• Same switch-on and -off points for all compressors

• Pressure limit can be reduced to a minimum
• High energy savings due to maximum pressure reduction
• Older compressor stations also become more economical in
next to no time

3) All the connected compressors are managed via an RS485 bus
