Sigma Control 2
Integrated intelligence:
The next dimension
KAESER KOMPRESSOREN’s revolutionary modular concept takes compressor controller technology to the
next level and beyond. Welcome to the world of Sigma Control 2.
One size fits all
Sigma Control 2 features a highly flexible modular
design, yet its standard construction means that this
versatile control system can be matched to suit the
needs of any rotary screw compressor from KAESER
KOMPRESSOREN’s extensive range. Comprising a
main control unit and separate input/output modules,
this modular concept enhances communication and
user-friendliness.
Internet capability
Sigma Control 2 is equipped with its own web
server, making it possible to communicate with the
compressor via intranet/Internet. There is no need
for additional expensive software, as settings can
be remotely accessed and adjusted, with password
protection, from any PC running a standard Internet
browser. This feature greatly simplifies operation and
maintenance for example.

Energy savings made easy
Flexible communication
Sigma Control 2 communicates internally with the
compressor via input/output modules that are tailored
to meet the specific needs of the various compressor
ranges; this future-proof concept therefore offers
exceptional flexibility. Moreover, Ethernet interfaces
and numerous plug-in bus communication modules
enable external communication with utilities
management and centralised control systems.
Security with RFID
Sigma Control 2 provides high level security with
its integrated RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
functionality. Not only does this technology ensure
secure log-in for users and/or KAESER service
engineers, but also safeguards the system against
unauthorised changes or operation. Additional
applications are planned.
The intelligent way to save energy
With multiple compressor control modes, a timer
and base-load sequencing function, compressor
energy consumption is now lower than ever before.
The precision electronic pressure sensor enables
tighter switching differentials thereby ensuring further
savings. Image: Aircenter 22 with Sigma Control 2

The control centre Stay connected

The control unit features an easy to read display
and durable input keys; all relevant information can
be viewed at a glance. User-friendliness is further
enhanced by the logical menu structure and the
ability to display data in any one of 30 selectable
languages.
The 10/100 MBit/sec Ethernet interface allows direct
access to operational parameters from the user`s
VPN. Plug-in communication modules are available
for Profibus DP, Modbus, Profinet and Devicenet.

Your security Update and save

The addition of RFID functionality to Sigma Control  2 Software updates and operational parameters can be
means that service work and system changes to the quickly uploaded and transferred via the convenient
compressor can be performed only by authorised SD card slot. This both minimises service costs and
personnel, e.g. suitably qualified KAESER service allows the SD card to be used for (long-term) storage
partners. This ensures that the compressor operates of key operational data.
