Application
Ship designing, shipbuilding, and the integration of electronic control systems are the key business areas of the Ulstein Group. The company specializes in the construction of modern oil rig supply ships and offshore multi-purpose ships.
Solution
Ulstein developed a new unique redundant control system in cooperation with Phoenix Contact: Ulstein IAS. To do so, automation products from Phoenix Contact were extended with special function blocks. The result: Ethernet-based automation and communication via PROFINET.
Conclusion
The simple system integration has made an impression. ULSTEIN IAS currently automates more than 100 ships and further projects are to come.
