    • The distributed integrated concept of the GE Intelligent Platforms process controller and safety controller (SIL-2) is perfectly suitable for retrofits or new build FPSO’ and FSO’s. The distributed concept in combination with the environmental specification removes the need of a central control room. The controllers and I/O can be installed directly in the field.

    Values read by the SafetyNet input channels can also be used as input to control loops. Safety signals can be transferred between SafetyNet controllers using a “non-interfering” peer-2-peer communication protocol. For example safety signals from the turret can be displayed on a centralized annunciation panel, meeting SIL-2.

    GE Intelligent Platforms control solutions offer Integrated Control & Safety Systems for ESD, F&G and process control in a single distributed control environment for topside, loading & unloading control in a single distributed control environment.

    • Proficy Process Systems was designed specifically to fill the gap that has long existed between traditional DCS systems and PLC/HMI based systems. This new technology offering solves the problems and limitations of these traditional systems and provides customers in the hybrid and continuous process space with a solution that will improve their operational efficiency, overall business results, and reduce their total cost of ownership.

    Proficy Process Systems provides the control systems engineer with the integrated tools they need to design, implement, document, and maintain a process automation system using batch and continuous control strategies and utilities typically associated with DCS distributed control systems yet at a traditional HMI/PLC solution price structure, openness, and flexibility.

    Proficy Process Systems provides a completely integrated system with a common global namespace. What this means to you, the user, is simplified configuration and maintenance. Tags in the system are defined once and then referenced and used commonly throughout the system. There is no need to configure tags in the controller and then in your screens. The global namespace capability of Process Systems can reduce system configuration time by 30%.
