Fast and Save Subsea Control Structures, Based on Approved Conventional Technologies

During the ISUP (Integrated System for Underwater Production of Hydrocarbons) research project an innovative, modular and "open" control and automation system for the complete production plant including all subsea components has been developed and tested. Some of the key features are safe and secure data transfer, near real time control, OPC compatibility, integration of video streams and worldwide accessibility via Internet.
