STARDOM RTU – high-performance with low-power consumption

To meet the recent worldwide challenges in energy demands, oil companies have been working hard to increase natural gas and oil output by developing and improving production technologies. They are also aggressively exploring development of new gas and oil fields, many of which are located in very harsh, hazardous and inhospitable environments with extreme temperatures, high altitudes and/or insufficiently developed power and communications infrastructure. The natural gas and oil well control and monitoring systems that are installed in such environments must be robust, highly durable and consume less power.

In response to these needs, Yokogawa has extended its portfolio with low power modules for use with the STARDOM FCN autonomous controllers. These modules are made of durable parts that enable the FCN autonomous controllers to reliably control and monitor production facilities under extreme temperatures ranging from –40°C to +70 °C and at altitudes as high as 3,000 meters. To support the FCN-RTU’s secure control features, various autonomous capabilities, a web server, FTP and logging functions are embedded, simplifying and improving the efficiency of routine monitoring and operation from remote sites.

FCN-RTU is the ideal solution today for geographically distributed applications, off-shore platforms and especially for oil/ gas wells and pipelines.
