The electronic control system is based on the design of GE GMR redundant system. The core controller adopts the design of triple redundant structure and uses redundant communication network to communicate. The system has high reliability, failure safety and fault tolerance. The main hardware of the electronic control system includes central control console, driller’s panel, Toolpusher’s panel and so on. The software of PLC logic program and human machine interface has been developed independently.

Central Control Console

The central control console is located in the safe area of the offshore platform, which is the heart of the electronic control system. It installs redundant PLC controllers, runs logic programs and host computer software, completes the processing of the key data of the system, and provides the communication interface of driller’s panel, toolpusher’s panel, subsea electronic module and other control station modules. The central control console can be used for engineering application.

Driller’s Panel

The Driller’s panel is the master operating station which is located in the driller's chamber. It is designed with Intrinsically safe to meet Zone 1 requirements for installation in a hazardous area. It is composed of two touch integrated industrial control computers, communication module and power module. The driller's panel communicates with the central control console via an optical fiber network. Any computer system can provide the monitoring and operation ability of the BOP control system.
