| Offshore Production |
Overview
Systems installed on these platforms must be tough enough to withstand challenging offshore conditions, such as marine corrosion, temperature variations, high tides, and even hurricanes. Enabling remote monitoring and platform drilling control in hard-to-reach areas is a necessity. Furthermore, operators require redundant bandwidth networks to constantly monitor all aspects of the platforms. Since most production platforms are placed where access is difficult, data is usually transmitted using wireless. SolutionTNS offers highly reliable and secure remote monitoring solutions over LAN that is catered for offshore use. Products include industrial Ethernet switches, IP video products, industrial wireless Ethernet, and serial-to-Ethernet servers. UI/cUL Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D and ATEX Class I, Zone 2, Ex nC IIC, and DNV/GL certifications of many TNS products ensure flawless operation in extreme environments and in areas with explosive gases. Industrial wireless Ethernet products have a rugged hardware design, redundant power inputs, extended operating temperature, IP67/68 ratings, and advanced security functions that include WEP, WPA, WPA2, MAC address filtering, and IEEE 802.1X. Unique features for offshore applications include an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, a weatherproof case, compact design, fiber optic connections for long distance transmission and EMI immunity, surge protection, redundant power inputs, and fault tolerance redundancy.
