Industrial Operator Workstations for Oil and Gas Industry Applications

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces VisuNet Industrial 900 Series Operator Workstations.  Built to withstand even the harshest oilfield operating conditions, including high shock and vibration, these 15- or 19-inch industrial monitors are encased in a thin, rugged NEMA 4/4x stainless or painted steel, slim housing suitable for Class I, Division 2 hazardous area installation.  The robust enclosure design mitigates heat without the need for venting or cooling fans. VisuNet industrial monitors feature a glove-friendly touchscreen, and are available in transflective models for clear outdoor viewing. 

“The harsh ambient conditions in oil and gas, and well-drilling applications can be extremely problematic, and equipment must meet the stringent demands of constant use.  Visualization systems can be subject to moisture and extreme temperature shifts, as well as solvents, chemicals, and cleaning,” says Kristen Barbour, Product Marketing Manager.  “VisuNet IND operator workstations solve this problem by enabling users to decide which essential components to keep in the field, while using data lines to establish connections to the desktop PC equipment in a safe area.”

VisuNet industrial workstations can be ordered to meet the existing communication infrastructure of the application.  The standard connectivity provided by Pepperl+Fuchs is Cat 5 or fiber-based KVM monitors, Ethernet remote Network monitor, or full panel PC.  Their adaptable design enables operator workstations throughout the processing facility to have a consistent look and feel, but with different functions.
