1. An apparatus for monitoring a compressor, comprising:
- a plurality of sensor inputs for receiving input regarding operating parameters of a compressor;
at least one control action output for sending a control action to said compressor; and
a control member communicated with said plurality of sensor inputs and said control action output, said control member being adapted to analyze input from said plurality of sensor inputs, to determine a control action based upon said input and to send said control action to said at least one control action output.
