Description

Application Scenarios:On the bridge of a modern offshore supply vessel, the captain needs immediate, at-a-glance status of the vessel’s power distribution and propulsion systems without navigating through complex central console menus. The ABB SF810D/WGT UVISOR SF810​ is mounted directly on the local control panel, displaying real-time parameters from the Power Management System (PMS). Its high-brightness screen remains clearly readable even under harsh sunlight glare, while its responsive touchscreen allows the operator to quickly acknowledge alarms or adjust setpoints. In this scenario, the unit addresses the critical pain points of operational flexibility and situational awareness, reducing response time to critical events and acting as a redundant interface should the main workstations be unavailable.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values:The ABB SF810D/WGT UVISOR SF810​ integrates several key innovations that differentiate it from standard HMIs:

  • Innovation Point 1: Marine-Grade Environmental Hardening:​ Unlike commercial-grade touch panels, the SF810D/WGT​ is engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of marine and offshore applications, including resistance to salt spray, vibration, and wide temperature fluctuations. Its IP65-rated front panel ensures reliable operation in dusty or wet environments.
  • Innovation Point 2: Integrated Control & Visualization:​ This unit is not merely a display; it incorporates a programmable control engine alongside the HMI. This allows for local logic execution (e.g., alarm conditioning, local interlocks) directly at the operator station, reducing the load on the central controller and increasing system responsiveness.
  • Innovation Point 3: Optimized Human-Factor Design:​ The high-brightness, anti-glare display and responsive touchscreen (often complemented by physical keys) are designed for high-stress situations. This ensures critical data is always visible and actionable, even in direct sunlight or when the operator is wearing protective gloves.

 

Application Cases and Industry Value:

  • Case 1: LNG Carrier Power Management:​ A major shipping company retrofitted its LNG carrier fleet with ABB SF810D/WGT UVISOR SF810​ units as part of the vessel’s Power Management System (PMS) upgrade. Installed in the engine control room and on the bridge, these MFDs provided engineers with a unified view of generator load sharing and busbar status. The local control capability allowed engineers to manually override and manage power distribution during port operations without accessing the main engineering workstation, significantly enhancing operational safety and reducing the risk of blackout during critical maneuvers.
  • Case 2: Chemical Plant DCS Localization:​ A chemical plant utilizing ABB’s Freelance DCS installed SF810D/WGT​ units at strategic local control stations throughout the facility. This decentralized the operator interface, allowing field technicians to monitor batch process parameters and acknowledge alarms directly at the skid level. This reduced unnecessary traffic to the central control room and minimized response time to local process upsets, directly contributing to increased plant availability and operator efficiency.
