Universal Master Control Station (original) (raw)
On the top-side facilities of offshore oil and gas platforms, the Master Control Station (MCS) is a dedicated system that controls and retrieves data from on the ocean floor. The MCS is supplied by the manufacturers of the subsea control modules (SCM), an MCS is required for each vendor. This can be a challenge in some scenarios. In 2008, Control Dynamics International of Houston, now a subsidiary of ENGlobal, was commissioned to develop an MCS that could communicate with and control subsea equipment from multiple vendors; dubbed the Universal Master Control Station (UMCS).

| dbo:abstract | On the top-side facilities of offshore oil and gas platforms, the Master Control Station (MCS) is a dedicated system that controls and retrieves data from on the ocean floor. The MCS is supplied by the manufacturers of the subsea control modules (SCM), an MCS is required for each vendor. This can be a challenge in some scenarios. Positioned between the distributed control system (DCS) on the platform and the subsea equipment, the MCS is critical to maintaining safe operating conditions, optimizing production across a field and effectively managing reserves. The complex automation systems enabling offshore production of oil & gas, particularly in deep water, have strong parallels to their on-shore, process plant applications. These systems, subsystems and instruments must interoperate in a seamless manner. In 2008, Control Dynamics International of Houston, now a subsidiary of ENGlobal, was commissioned to develop an MCS that could communicate with and control subsea equipment from multiple vendors; dubbed the Universal Master Control Station (UMCS).
