MUX Control Systems

2 Multiplex Control System

3 MUX System - Key Features Designed and tested for continuous operation in 10,000 feet of water Designed for a 20-year service life Designed to minimize maintenance costs, maximize operating time Component design is based on 25 years of proven operational experience Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 16D, API 16E

4 MUX System Development One Year $2,000,000 Development Program All Subsea MUX POD Components were prequalified by Testing at 5,000 psi Ambient Pressure and Low Temperature (+1  C/34  F) Subsea MUX POD Electronics Assembly was subjected to Vibration Stress Testing. Subsea MUX POD was subjected to Hyperbaric Testing at 4,000 psi Ambient Pressure and Low Temperature (+1  C/34  F)

5 BOP Control Modes

6 Electronic System - Key Features Modular component design Dual power supplies for each assembly Control circuits are in a dual redundant distributed system design Control circuit communications are based on the RS-485 industry standard using the Motorola chip set. Each control CPU and MMI CPU is isolated from each other, using 10 Base T for communications. Embedded data acquisition system which records each event and alarm. Data logger which includes permanent storage of data acquisition information and maintenance data base.

7 Embedded Electronics VS PLC Size and weight of sub sea package. Minimize heat generated by electronics package Increased capability Increased system reliability due to continuous monitoring of key system parameters. Customized interfaces (i.e. - DP System).
