Process systems on oil rigs are islands of automation. These individual automation solutions may be provided by a single original equipment manufacturer, or more often, by multiple OEM suppliers with expertise in that particular piece of equipment. The information from these systems may be monitored from a drillers console or doghouse, or directly on the drilling platform.
VisuNet XT is a completely enclosed HMI that outperforms the abysmal conditions aboard open sea and land drilling rigs. A virtually indestructible display for monitoring and control, it is suitable for the rig floor or anywhere an extremely rugged panel PC is required. It features a wide operating temperature range, global approvals ATEX Zone 2 / IEC Ex Zone 2 / Class I, Div. 2, and a high-bright LED display. The rugged enclosure with high LRV epoxy coating utilizes the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processors, solid state drives, glove friendly touchscreen, and several networking options.
