Current monitoring & PLC integration
In response to a mandate by the state lands commission Plains All American sought a system to collect and store its own independent current data. This task was accomplished using a Sontek SL 500 as an ocean current monitor. Data collection and storage were integrated into the existing SCADA system via Spread spectrum radio and Modbus communication protocol.
This system features:
- Argonaut SL 500 to measure current speed, direction, and depth
- Radio data telemetry system for Modbus data
- Motorized sliding rail system
- Solar charge kit
- PVC coated rigid conduit and Class 1 Division 1 hardware and components
