For the control system of thermal turbine in fuel and nuclear power plant, as high reliability and availability are required, redundant control system is generally applied. This paper presents the configuration and design of such a redundant control system that can be suitable for control and monitoring of the turbine. System components such as I/O system, communication networks, voting system are designed, and especially the new intelligent voter using serial communication are proposed. The characteristics of the implemented control system is independence of the control, protection and monitoring functions, and discrimination of the redundancies, and high availability. The control functions such as speed control, load control, valve control and protective functions such as overspeed and PLU are designed in detail.
