Blog: Connectivity for each part of your wellpad application
Mike Edwards
Features connectivity
With on-site equipment as varied from your PAC and generator to smart transmitters and chromatographs, chances are high that your application has a variety of industrial protocols that need to be connected. The size and complexity of oil and gas applications – whether saltwater disposal, LACT skids, collection, drilling, refining, or transportation – make it impossible for users to use one technology or platform. Each part has information that needs to be sent to your PAC or SCADA system, making real-time protocol conversion and data transfer a must.

In-chassis and gateway protocol converters provide a variety of options for your wellpad application’s equipment. Oil and gas sites’ common protocols include EtherNet/IP, Modbus, DNP3, HART, ASCII, Siemens Industrial Ethernet, IEC 61850, and IEC 60870.
