This module integrates four core capabilities: multi-protocol communication, distributed control, intelligent fault diagnosis, and high redundancy fault tolerance. It enables centralized management and collaborative control of decentralized equipment in industrial sites, while supporting flexible function expansion to meet full-scenario requirements ranging from local control of a single device to linkage control of multiple systems.
Adopting an industrial-grade reinforced hardware design, it has passed ATEX and IECEx explosion-proof certifications as well as IP65 protection level testing. It can operate stably in harsh environments with a wide temperature range of -30℃ to +70℃, high vibration, strong electromagnetic interference, and explosive atmospheres. Therefore, it serves as a key solution to ensure high-precision control and high availability of heavy industrial equipment.

Core Features and Advantages

1. Multi-Scenario Universal Control Capability

• Full-Type Signal Compatibility: Supports the acquisition and output of analog signals (4-20mA/0-10V DC), digital signals (DI/DO dry contacts/wet contacts), and pulse signals (0-1kHz speed/flow signals). It is compatible with over 90% of industrial sensors and actuators for pressure, temperature, liquid level, valve status, etc., eliminating the need for additional signal conditioning modules.
• Flexible Control Algorithm Integration: Built-in with general algorithms such as PID closed-loop control, logical interlocking, and sequence control. It also supports user-defined control logic (via Cameron Maestro Configurator software), enabling quick adaptation to different application scenarios like wellhead pressure regulation, valve opening control, and equipment start-stop sequencing.
• Wide Power Adaptation Range: Supports controlling equipment with power ratings from 0.1kW to 100kW. The output channels offer two modes: 2A/250V AC relay output and 0.5A/24V DC transistor output, meeting the control needs of both small actuators and large motors.
• Multi-Mode Operation Support: Can switch between three modes: local independent control, remote linkage control, and redundant backup control, adapting to different working conditions such as single-machine commissioning, normal production, and fault emergency response.

2. High Reliability and Redundant Design

• Full-System Redundant Architecture: Supports 1+1 control module hot redundancy, dual-power backup, and communication link redundancy (RS485/CAN/Ethernet). The redundancy switchover time is less than 20ms, and the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is over 1,200,000 hours (under 40℃ working condition), meeting the "zero downtime" operation requirement of industrial equipment.
• Explosion-Proof and Harsh Environment Adaptability:
• Explosion-Proof Certifications: ATEX II 2G Ex d IIC T4 Ga and IECEx Ex d IIC T4 Ga, suitable for oil and gas wellheads and chemical explosion-proof areas.
• Protection Level: IP65 enclosure, providing dustproof and jet water-proof performance, allowing direct installation in outdoor equipment cabinets.
• Wide Temperature Range and Corrosion Resistance: Operates within a temperature range of -30℃ to +70℃. The PCB board is coated with three-proof paint (IPC-CC-830 Class B), withstanding salt spray and mold environments (ASTM B117 salt spray test ≥ 96 hours).
• Comprehensive Fault Protection:
• Hardware-Level: Overvoltage (36V DC), overcurrent (2A), overheating (automatic load reduction when temperature > 75℃) protection, and output short-circuit protection.
• Software-Level: Real-time self-inspection (module status, communication links, signal integrity), fault isolation, and automatic recovery.
• System-Level: Links with the Cameron Maestro monitoring platform to provide early warning of potential faults (e.g., sensor drift, cable aging).

3. Strong Communication and System Collaboration Capabilities

• Multi-Protocol Compatibility:
• Industrial Ethernet: 2 channels of 10/100Mbps Ethernet, supporting Modbus TCP/IP, IEC 61850, and Cameron Maestro proprietary protocols, enabling data interaction with SCADA systems and cloud platforms.
• Fieldbus: 2 channels of RS485 (Modbus RTU) and 1 channel of CAN bus, used for connecting distributed I/O, intelligent sensors, and actuators. The maximum communication distance is 1200m (for RS485).
• Debugging Interface: 1 channel of USB 2.0, supporting local parameter configuration and firmware upgrade.
• In-Depth Collaboration with Cameron Systems: Can be directly connected to the Cameron Maestro control system without additional adaptation, automatically synchronizing equipment parameters and control logic. It supports multi-module cascading (up to 32 units), realizing collaborative control of large-scale equipment (e.g., wellhead clusters, manifold systems).
• Data Recording and Analysis: Built-in 64MB data storage, capable of recording key operating data for over 1 year (with a sampling interval of 10ms). It supports waveform recording for 10 seconds before and 5 seconds after a fault. Data can be exported via Ethernet or USB, facilitating accident tracing and control algorithm optimization.

4. Convenient Deployment and O&M (Operation and Maintenance)

• Standardized Installation: Dimensions are 180mm × 120mm × 60mm (width × height × depth). It supports 35mm DIN rail installation or panel embedded installation (with an opening size of 160mm × 100mm), adapting to most industrial control cabinets and reducing installation time by 40%.
• Intuitive Status Monitoring: The front of the module is equipped with 12 LED indicators, which display power supply, communication, operation mode, and fault alarm status in real time. Combined with fault code display (via LCD screen), on-site personnel can quickly locate problems.
• User-Friendly Configuration Tool: Compatible with Cameron Maestro Configurator software (supporting Windows systems), providing a graphical programming interface (drag-and-drop function blocks) and a parameter template library (e.g., wellhead control and valve regulation templates). Configuration can be completed without professional programming skills, shortening the commissioning cycle by 50%.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Integration Guide

1. Installation Requirements

Environmental Preparation

Install the module in an industrial control cabinet or outdoor explosion-proof cabinet to avoid direct exposure to liquid spray and highly corrosive gases (such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine). For offshore platform applications, it is recommended to match it with a salt-spray-proof deflector (accessory model: AAP3798102-ACC002).

Mechanical Installation Steps

• DIN Rail Mounting: Align the module's buckle with the 35mm standard DIN rail, press down until it locks, and ensure the module is stable without looseness.
• Panel Embedded Mounting: Drill a hole in the equipment panel according to the opening size (160mm×100mm), clean up burrs, embed the module, and fix it from the back with matching screws (torque: 0.8Nm).

Wiring Specifications

• Power Cables: Use 1.5mm² copper core cables. Distinguish between "main power supply" (+V1) and "redundant power supply" (+V2), and connect a 1A slow-blow fuse in series.
• Signal Cables: For AI/AO, use shielded twisted-pair cables (2×0.5mm²) with the shield layer grounded at one end (ground resistance < 4Ω); for DI/DO, use unshielded twisted-pair cables (2×0.5mm²).
• Communication Cables: Use CAT5e shielded cables for Ethernet, and dedicated shielded twisted-pair cables for RS485/CAN. For long-distance transmission, a terminal resistor (120Ω) must be added.
