System Overview
The system is engineered to meet specific user requirements, featuring hot redundancy for continuous and reliable operation. It enables precise control of valves and pumps while providing comprehensive monitoring of tank systems.
Operators interact with the system through an intuitive graphical interface, where parameters are displayed both visually and numerically. Integrated audio-visual alarms ensure immediate attention to critical events via alarm banners and dedicated alarm screens.
A built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), powered by both main and emergency sources, ensures uninterrupted operation with up to 30 minutes of battery backup.
The system can be delivered as a complete package or integrated with existing onboard equipment such as valves, actuators, and tank sensors.
