Offshore SolutionsThe current challenge of life cycle extensions and OPEX reduction of existing production platforms requires a new look at your automation system. GE Intelligent Platforms automation solutions are designed to support easy migration from a manned platform to an un-manned environment. The distributed concept plus the ability to be “mounted on deck” eliminates the need of a central conditioned control room. Existing sensors/actuators can be used because of the support of HART and FFB signals. The systems are designed to work with a local operator interface solutions or a remote centralized control room concept. GE Intelligent Platforms delivers a distributed control system, which include TÜV SIL certified safety solutions (up to SIL-3). The control system can be mounted in a DIV 2/ Zone 2 hazardous environment and operate in a temperature range of –40C to +70C. It is resistant to corrosive gasses and salt mist (G3). Advanced diagnostics functions ensure that the operator is always fully aware of the process and system conditions. Optional redundant power supplies and controllers improve uptime even, in un-manned situations. GE Intelligent Platforms control solutions offer Integrated Control & Safety Systems for ESD, F&G and process control in a single distributed control environment. |
