TOMORROW’S MARITIME AUTOMATION PLATFORM TODAY
Blue Ctrl have combined our core knowledge from the maritime automation industry with vessel operators and experts on interaction design. Together, Blue Ctrl have developed tomorrow’s maritime automation platform called X-CONNECT®. All our products are based on this platform and can easily be configured by using the configuration tool named X-CONNECT® Studio. The X-CONNECT® maritime automation platform can be summarized with the following key features:
Hardware independent software with standardized configurable functionality
Standard marine approved industrial hardware
Efficient event based and seamless data distribution based on standard Ethernet network
High definition monitors with rich intuitive user friendly graphical user interface
Data log for data analysis and trending
Tooling for efficient product configuration and deployment
Local or remote service
The major difference with X-CONNECT® maritime automation platform, compared to traditional SCADA and PLC solutions, is the use of ONE unified tool suite to handle the configuration of system and hardware topology, GUI and operator stations, IO stations, database and network setup. In fact, there is no programming involved when setting up a project – only selection and configuration of standard and flexible system components. System integrators can therefore set up and handle changes of a project efficiently. Using the auto-function editor in X-CONNECT® Studio, customized functions can be configured and reused for other projects.
The system architecture is using event based technology that optimizes the network load. Event based data means that data is sent only on change. Event based data brings down data traffic considerably compared to traditional systems where data is sent continuously independent of change.
See how efficient we setup our X-CONNECT® automation products. Just “Configure – plug and play”!
