RUPDB SCADA Software

The RUPDB SCADA Software is a versatile real-time data acquisition, monitoring, and control solution tailored for critical infrastructure applications. Designed to perform reliably in demanding environments, RUPDB underpins our flagship systems:

• RUP Excursion Monitoring System (ExcMS): Ensures precise tracking of vessel movements and environmental conditions to maintain offshore operational safety.
• Pipeline Telemetry System (PTS): Facilitates comprehensive data collection and management for pipeline operations, enhancing integrity and performance.

Beyond these, RUPDB’s adaptable architecture makes it suitable for various industrial SCADA applications across multiple sectors.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Data and Event Monitoring: Continuously captures and processes data, providing immediate insights and alerts for critical metrics to support prompt decision-making.
• Scalability Across Applications: Accommodates systems of varying sizes, from small-scale data logging setups to extensive, distributed networks, ensuring seamless integration into diverse operational contexts.
• Multi-Protocol Compatibility: Supports protocols such as Modbus (ASCII/RTU/TCP), OPC, NMEA 0183, SNMP, FTP, and custom RUP protocols, enabling integration with a wide array of devices and network configurations.
• Reliable and Resilient Performance: Engineered for continuous operation with minimal maintenance, RUPDB is suitable for high-reliability, dual-redundant applications and supports redundant multi-path data link deployments.

Primary Applications:

1. Excursion Monitoring:
   • Powers the RUP ExcMS, delivering accurate monitoring of vessel positions, weather conditions, and related metrics to uphold safety in offshore operations.
   • Features marine-optimised functionality, including remote monitoring, data encryption, and resilient data transmission, ideal for maritime applications.
2. Pipeline Telemetry:

• • Forms the core of our PTS, enabling operators to collect, monitor, and manage pipeline data from remote or offshore locations.
  • Offers distributed data collection and advanced leak detection through continuous flow balance monitoring.

1. Tanker Berthing Aid System (TBAS):
   • The RUPDB Software Suite underpins the TBAS, a high-precision monitoring solution designed for Tanker/FPSO berthing and offloading. TBAS assists in tracking real-time tanker position, motion, and safety-critical parameters, providing operators and Masters with critical insights during approach, hook-up, and disconnection.
   • Real-Time Position and Motion Monitoring: RUPDB processes position, orientation, and motion data from the Tanker Pod, enabling highly accurate monitoring displayed through the TBAS interface. This empowers operators with the situational awareness needed for safe berthing.
   • Alarm Management and Alerts: Configurable alarms for out-of-sector movement, hawser tension, and proximity warnings enhance operational safety by notifying operators of any potential hazards.
   • Comprehensive Data Logging and Replay: RUPDB’s historic logging feature allows for playback of berthing operations, aiding in post-incident review, training, and continuous improvement.

Additional Use Cases:

• Supervisory Control and Emergency Shutdown systems for offshore platforms.
• Digital oil field monitoring, providing real-time data for remote well sites.
• Ballast control systems, serving as computer-based replacements for traditional panels on offshore vessels.
• Environmental and weather monitoring applications requiring precise, high-frequency data logging.
