EM 3000S multibeam echosounder is a short range, high resolution echosounder with up to 127 narrow beams of 1,5 x 1,5 degrees, and a sounding accuracy which satisfies the requirements for IHO S-44 special order surveys.

Suited for portable use

The system is suited for portable use, and is easily plugged together, calibrated and set to work. The sonar head is made of durable and non-corrosive titanium. The swath coverage is up to 4 times the distance from the transducer face to the bottom, and the flat faced horizontal transducer produces data which is very robust towards local variations of the sound velocity profile in the water. The system is thus well suited for mapping difficult areas like estuaries and river outlets, as well as rivers, canals, harbors, harbor entrances and coastal regions.

EM 3000S Multibeam echosounder mounting

Portable mounting arrangements can be offered. EM 3000S multibeam echosounder can be fitted to ROV's and towed sensor platforms, using fiber optic data communication. A special version can be offered for UUV's. Maximum deployment depth is 1500m.

VALEPORT 606+

 

MIDAS CTD+ Multiparameter Profiler

 

The MIDAS CTD+ is a revolutionary Multiparameter CTD, with a wide choice of standard sensors. Featuring Valeport's latest 400 Series electronics, the CTD+ will sample all fitted sensors at exactly the same instant, at up to 8Hz. Advanced setup software allows a variety of sampling regimes including burst modes, delay starts, and conditional sampling. With up to 32Mbyte memory and internal battery pack, as well as a selection of real time output formats, the CTD+ is perfect for both profiling or fixed mooring applications. In addition, the CTD+ may be used with Valeport own water bottle carousel.

 

Valeport applies its unique distributed processing technology to the M CTD+ (formerly known as the Model 606+), resulting in a multi-parameter CTD that is essentially tailor made to suit each customer’s requirements. The instrument is able to accept any combination of a range of industry standard sensors, giving calibrated data in both autonomous and real time operations. A choice of titanium or acetal construction makes it suitable for coastal or deep water operations, and the intuitive software allows a range of both simple and complex sampling regimes.

The M CTD+ uses the concept of distributed processing, where each sensor has its own microprocessor controlling sampling and calibration of readings. Each of these is then controlled by a central processor, which issues global commands and handles all the data. This means that all data is sampled at precisely the same instant, giving superior quality profile data. It also allows additional sensor to be added or replaced in the field, without the need for factory recalibration. Regular output from all sensors at 1, 2, 4 or 8Hz. Regular sampling pattern, where instrument takes a number of readings, then sleeps for a defined time.  Data is output as a chosen parameter changes by a set value, usually Pressure for profiling.  Instrument sleeps until a selected parameter reaches a set value.  Instrument sleeps until predefined start time The M CTD+ is fitted with 8Mb solid state non-volatile FLASH memory. Total capacity depends on sampling mode; continuous & burst modes have a single time stamp at the start of the file, trip mode (profiling) stores a time stamp with each reading. Each parameter uses 2 bytes per sample and a time stamp uses 7 bytes.  The examples are for an instrument measuring CTD and 3 other parameters.  695,000 data points 430,000 data points (30 profiles to 6000m).

 Introduction

Seaeye Falcon is the first ROV designed and built by Seaeye Marine to meet the operational requirements of coastal and inshore operators. In developing this system the same criteria of performance, reliability and ease of operation were set but with the added challenge of creating a system that was to be portable and affordable.


Seaeye Falcon & its Surface Units

The Seaeye Falcon incorporates many of the features that have proved so successful in other Seaeye ROVs but with a number of technical innovations never before seen in a lower cost ROV. The Seaeye Falcon sets a new standard for inshore and coastal operations to 300 metres depth.

Chassis
Seaeye Marine was the first company to introduce polypropylene for the construction of an ROV chassis and this material is used for the Seaeye Falcon. Polypropylene is extremely rugged, maintenance free, non-corroding and self-supporting in seawater. Additional equipment may be bolted directly onto the chassis members. All fittings and the lift point are manufactured from 316 stainless steel. The core frame is manufactured using modern composite materials.

Buoyancy
Buoyancy and payload is primarily controlled by the addition or subtraction of closed cell foam blocks secured to the chassis below a quick-release, hydrodynamic polypropylene shell. (The shell also encapsulates all Falcon's electronics housings and provides protection for cabling). Mounting points on the vehicle skids are provided for lead ballast to facilitate trimming of the vehicle's centre of gravity and buoyancy.

Propulsion
All Seaeye ROVs feature brushless DC thrusters, which, apart from having the greatest power density, have drive electronics with velocity feedback for precise and rapid thrust control. These thrusters are interfaced to a fast PID control system along with a solid-state rate gyro for enhanced azimuth stability, a feature that automatically prevents overshoot on a change of heading. These essential building blocks enable Seaeye Marine to provide superior control and response from their powerful ROVs, setting them apart from the competition. The innovation for Seaeye Falcon was the development of a Magnetically Coupled brushless DC Thruster unit (MCT1) capable of resisting higher torque loads than competing units. Seaeye Falcon is powered by 5 Seaeye Magnetically Coupled Thruster units (MCT1) each capable of achieving 13 kgf thrust at 320W or a combined forward thrust (bollard pull) of 50 kgf. For an ROV weighing only 50 kilos this represents an impressive 1:1 power to weight ratio.


MCT1 Thruster Performance

These thrusters run cool without being oil filled and having no moving shaft seals, are low maintenance, extremely reliable and ideal for use in sensitive areas such as fisheries and on reefs.

Thruster Configuration

4 Vectored Horizontal Thrusters

1 Vertical Thruster

 

Thruster vector angles can be changed by the operator to reconfigure the vehicle to best suit the particular mission requirements.

Control System
The Falcon is the first Seaeye ROV to enter production with a distributed intelligence control system. This is a multi-drop network which allows up to 128 devices to be connected together on a single RS485 serial network. Each device connected to the network, be it a thruster, light, compass or a future option, contains a microprocessor and interface electronics and is called a 'node'

 

These 'nodes' are controlled by a master processor in the Surface Unit and are fully isolated to maximise system reliability. Each node is connected to the Network's Star Point at the ROV junction box. The Star Point is a printed circuit board that provides each node with its own fused power supply and telemetry.

This modular approach eliminates the need for a complex central electronics pod and significantly reduces the number of subsea connectors used. The result is a very flexible modern and simplified system architecture designed to improve reliability and ease of maintenance.

Control System Diagnostics
A software routine automatically checks each node when the system is powered up with alarms provided on the video overlay to alert the operator. Local diagnostics are also provided for each node in the Junction Box. A test button is provided with colour coded LEDs that confirm green if the fuse is intact or red if it is blown on a particular node. A further LED indicates the presence of telemetry to the node.

The ROV Junction Box
The one atmosphere junction box contains the Network Star Point and the video line-driver. The line driver allows quick and easy 'gain' adjustments to be made if differing umbilical lengths are to be used. A standard bulkhead connector is used to connect each node to the Network Star Point at the junction box.

Camera System
Seaeye Falcon is fitted with a tilt platform and high-resolution colour camera as standard. The tilt platform makes provision for additional industry standard cameras to be fitted.
