FOREWORD
Introduction
Grasso has been producing refrigerating compressors and compressor units for a wide range of different
applications for several decades.
A new compressor control has been developed for universal use based on our many years’ operational
experience.
The compressor control, type “GSC“ (Grasso System Control) is a highly modern programmable controller, which
is based on the Simatic C7-633 system.
The GSC is suitable for controlling and monitoring our company’s compressors.
