Daniel Control System - DanPac
Daniel Process Acquisition Controller known as DanPac is a smart fiscal metering solution that provides accurate measurement and unsurpassed control of oil and gas custody transfer and fiscal flow metering installations. DanPac has built-in communications and controller redundancy, and comes with completely pre-configured control hardware and standardized components for faster implementation, reduced cost of ownership and increased serviceability via Daniel global life-cycle support capabilities.
The architecture of the DanPac system brings all the elements of advanced measurement and control applications together in one place using open, interoperable and scalable technologies, including logic controllers and Daniel’s S600 flow computer. The logic controller delivers real-time diagnostics and alarms from skid-mounted PlantWeb digital components to streamline maintenance efforts and prevent unexpected shutdowns and measurement variability.
Daniel’s S600 flow computer offers reliable and accurate fiscal measurement, giving access to metering performance and advanced measurement analysis reports. In addition, the package features an easy to use HART interface that supports multiple smart instruments, volume provers and analytical devices.
