PLC Based Control Panel

Windlass PLC based programmable, remote control panels receive input signals from the equipment being controlled, process this information using the structure and rules entered into the program and then control outputs that operate equipment.

These systems offer a range of user communication options. Windlass PLC systems can be expanded to allow unlimited inputs and outputs in normal configuration. Additional inputs or outputs can be added through networked PLC modules.

PLC based systems are flexible in their range of operations and can be easily modified, enhanced or altered, even after the system is installed. Changing the logical sequence of events in the operation of a system to adjust to changing operating conditions or adding new equipment to be controlled usually only requires a small amount of programming by one of our skilled Engineers.

PLC Remote Panel

  • PLC based Remote Control Panel has a programmable logic controller which receives input-signals from the BOP Control Unit, processes this information using the structure and rules entered into the program and then controls outputs that operate BOP Control Units, and designed to meet the recommendations of API RP/4F.
  • Suitable for use in the hazardous location with option of pressurized enclosure or cast aluminum enclosure.
  • All Panel Control function are two handed operation.
  • Electrical Components, Panel etc. used in and exposed to hazardous atmospheres are designed as per API RP 500 and IEC529 and certified as suitable for use in hazardous location.
  • Panel display are physically arranged as a graphic representation of the BOP stack.
  • Push Buttons for open-close function with indicator lights for all BOP function.
  • Transparent safety cover which does not obstruct visibility of function is provided to avoid unintended operation of critical functions.

Audible and visual Alarms to indicate :

  • Low Accumulator Pressure.
