Subsea Control Module Standard Functions/Features

Subsea Control Module
  • Four HP hydraulic outputs
  • Twenty-two LP hydraulic outputs
  • Dual HP and LP hydraulic inputs via shuttle valve
  • HP and LP ESD valve
  • Directly mounted digital control valves to single manifold block
  • HP and LP vents to sea or closed loop returns

External Overview

  • Carbon steel fabricated housing, painted to standard subsea paint specification
  • Installation and intervention by ROV assisted running tool, funnel or diver onto mounting base
  • Dielectric fluid filled pressure compensated housing and atmospheric SEM housing
  • Designed for use up to 3000 meters of water
  • 1.5 atmosphere nitrogen filled electronics housing with pressure and temperature monitoring
  • Subsea Control Module Running ToolDual HP and LP supplies, incorporating individual hydraulic supply line filters with B3 = 200 rated elements
  • Control of hydraulic valve actuators by stainless steel body, sheer seal type solenoid valves
  • Earth strap for bonding and low resistance connection to the module mounting base on the manifold cathodic protection system
  • Connection points legibly identified by proprietary laminated nameplates
  • Stand alone sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection will be provided based on isolation for six months on the seabed
  • Two outgoing electro-hydraulic ROV/diver stabplates both mounted on SCM mounting bamounting base

SEM Standard Functions

  • Standard unit has single SEM (dual SEM optional) providing 4 to 20 mA (standard), discrete input/output instrumentation and controls interfaces
  • Fully dual redundant power supplies and communication channels
  • Housekeeping functions including internal voltage/current monitoring, internal pressure, temperature and humidity
  • Mounting, power and communication interfaces for third party devices, IWIS compatible
  • Fast scan analog data capture with configurable sample rates
  • Ethernet, RS232 and RS4XX (2 off) communication ports; fully IWIS PPP compatible for true open architecture
  • Quad Access Control provides media synchronization to enable two pairs of quad to be individually used, avoiding cross-talk issues
  • Multi-drop architecture with individual remote device frequency and bit-rate configuration/selection to optimiza system data and control performance
