The Automation & Electronics, Inc. LP_FWCTM Flowing Well Production Controller is a marriage of the
Control Micro Systems ScadaPackLP® and our field proven flowing well controller firmware. The LP_FWC provides the
operator with the latest in wellhead and gathering system pressure control. Solar powered units with radios provide local
control with remote monitoring and control capabilities.
The LP_FWC provides the operator with options that allow for maximum fluid transfer without depletion of well bore pressure. Control functions can be configured by the operator to control on a single pressure parameter with pressure override or a combination of tubing pressure and gathering system pressure. Associated alarm and shut in set points are available on all analog input parameters.
Shutdown control functions can be configured to latch in until reset manually by the operator or to resume normal operation when the condition requiring the shut in returns to normal. Features such as this keep fluid production at its peak while still protecting the pressure limits imposed.
The operator can configure control parameters locally using an optional interface, PDA or portable computer. This allows the unit to be used in a stand-alone role without the requirement of a SCADA System. When used as part of a SCADA system, control parameters can be set remotely via the communication channel.
The standard unit includes the SCADAPack LP controller and the Automation Electronics SWIM Module. The SWIM module incorporates the valve actuator pulse and direction control relays, and local actuator control switches. Labeled field terminals for all analog input transmitters, and field status inputs are provided making installation quick and simple.
