Blue Logic has developed a Subsea Communication Hub, SCH, to allow retrofit of additional sensors and instruments for smartification of subsea systems.
The SCH originates from Blue Logic’s range of inductive connectors, and can facilitate up to 5 off instruments / sensors. Main interface for power and data transfer is represented by a secondary 250W inductive connector to be connected to the subsea infrastructure. Each of the 5 off 50W connectors can supply up to 50W of electrical power and/or 80Mbps data on Ethernet or 230Kbps on RS232/485.
In short, the SCH will contribute to a high degree of flexibility for subsea instrumentation thus allowing any subsea control system keeping up with the latest technology. Adding sensors, cameras etc. can bring a standard subsea control system to another level with respect to real-time monitoring of production, condition monitoring and environmental caretaking.
The Subsea Communication Hub is designed for installation and retrieval by ROV and capable of long-term service. To suit any subsea control system, the 250W inductive connector can be replaced by wet-mate connectors for power and communication.
