DC Control Systems Diagram
DC CSD Analysis
The Control Systems Diagram (CSD) has the capability of determining pickup and dropout voltages, losses, and current flows at any time instance as well as overall marginal and critical alerts. A large library of equipment enables engineers to quickly model and simulate the action of relays associated with control interlocks after given time delays.
