The
Launch of V5000 – February 2001
Motherwell
Control Systems has launched a new, state of the art Valve Control
System- “V5000”. This system allows clients to remotely control
any number of actuators at one time producing ‘real time’ data.
This project
was born out of our solutions based culture, and as such is highly
configurable providing ample opportunities to develop the system
to suit the needs of individual clients.
As well as
being able to decide what information will appear on the main screens,
additional control and security features grant superior regulation.
The system
offers a great deal of varied information such as valve status,
alarm logging and data logging.
In addition
are the truly innovative Dependency and Inhibit features. Customers
can decide to add dependent controls. In that, when one action is
performed another will automatically follow. For example, the client
could choose to have ‘valve 12’ automatically close when ‘valve
9’ closes. The potential combinations are great and the customers
choose which combinations best suit their circumstances and particular
needs.
The Inhibit
feature is comparable to the Dependency feature, when one action
is performed customers can arrange for another action to be prevented.
Also the opportunity for Emergency Procedures to be automatically
put in place can be utilised via this feature.
These features
allow for the high regulation of valve control and the chance to
increase security not least through safety net procedures, for instance
Emergency Shut Down Procedures. With the added assurance that this
will all be performed automatically.
The 5 level
security facility intensifies control of the valves. Individual
users can be assigned different levels of security, therefore some
information or control can remain the responsibility of selected
personnel.
Together the
control characteristics and the data logging devices make this system
invaluable for the monitoring and control of your valves.
This system
has utilised the user friendly format of Windows NT, to find out
