Tritech Intelligent Valve Pack (iVP) - Subsea Control System
The Tritech Intelligent Valve Pack (iVP) subsea control system is an integrated and flexible family of products which enable operator control commands to be expressed at a remote location and data to be collected and transmitted for display or storage at a surface control console.
The system can be configured in a number of ways to suit users' requirements and existing power and communication infrastructure.
A typical valve pack is made up of a number of two station directional modules to provide flow and pressure control for up to twelve bi-directional functions. In its simplest form, valves in the pack are operated by an existing ‘host’ control system (e.g. an existing ROV control pod) via an electrical module fitted to the valve pack. Diode steering boards can be added to reduce the number of ways in the valve pack electrical connector if bipolar host supplies are used.
A valve pack fitted with an electronics module provides proportional power supplies and a communication link to the surface creating an intelligent valve pack. This allows the system to operate as a self-contained control system under the command of the topside console.
An optional basic power pod is available which provides a +24Vdc power supply for the intelligent valve pack from a 110Vac input.
Alternatively an intelligent power pod can be used to provide the +24Vdc to the valve pack as well as power, control and comms for sensors, video cameras, sonars, lights and electric pan and tilt units. The valve pack console at the surface is the operator interface for the intelligent valve pack and contains an embedded PC computer. The power pod console is a ‘slave’ to the valve pack console and provides the operator interface for the intelligent power pod.
