Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel (FPSO)
Plant Asset Management with AMS Device Manager for HART Devices – Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessel (FPSO)
Situation
Background
3rd phase of an oil field development. FPSO will be linked with 15 wells, including eight oil producers and seven water and gas injectors. Production is expected to start in 2024.
Customer decided to use Emerson AMS Device Manager as asset management solution for the new FPSO vessel
Customer tried Spectrum SCX 3000 software, not satisfied with performance
Technical Requirements
About 400 HART devices need to be connected in first project
HART field devices connected to ControlLogix (1756)
Majority communicating upstream via EtherNet /IP
In exceptional cases, due to safety reasons, ControlNet pass through to 1756 IF16H HART module
Solution
Deployment of smartLink SW-HT to connect 400 HART devices. smartLink software is installed on same PC with Emerson AMS, outside ex zones
Communication with AMS Device Manager via HART-IP
Benefits
Customer satisfied with ease of use and simple installation
Customer satisfied with use of standard technology and interfaces
