The document summarizes a media day event held by Petrobras to demonstrate remote operations and monitoring (ROM) technology. It describes tests conducted using ROM devices installed at a pilot plant to allow remote access, operation, and asset management equivalent to what could be done locally. Live demonstrations showed remote operation of plant equipment including valves from a control room, as well as remote asset monitoring like detecting issues with field devices. The tests confirmed ROM allows transparent access to plant functions without restrictions and easy integration of devices from multiple manufacturers.

The Adopted Premises
• The normal operation of the plant could not be affected
• All ROM field devices will be installed in parallel to existing
plant instruments, sharing the same primary element
(sensor)
• The existing DCS configuration will not be changed as
well as the supervisory operation screens
• A new screen should be configured to the Fieldbus
FOUNDATION™ for ROM live demo
• The radio backhaul path should provide cyber security
• All the necessary technical support for the installation,
configuration and start-up for all the ROM equipment
should be guaranteed by the respective manufacturers

The scope of the tests
For Petrobras, the primary objective of this live
demonstration at the pilot plant PC3 was to verify
that we could access and use remotely, with ROM, all
the operational functionalities available locally
Another objective was to check the interoperability
of ROM devices of different manufactures over the
backhaul

Local test – ROM Architecture
• On local test, the
following functionalities
were tested:
• Configuration of ROM and
field devices
• Commissioning of the field
devices
• Operation of the plant
• Asset management

Remote Test – ROM Architecture
• For test purposes, the PC3 unit is the REMOTE SITE
• And this visualization room is the REMOTE CONTROL
ROOM

Remote Operation of the Plant
[DEMO] Remote access to the local operation data. No information is lost!
The remote screen shows the same information seen at the original local
operation screen and information from the new ROM devices (ROM
devices plus field devices connected to them).
• [CAMERA] Original PC3 screen. Video received via backhaul.
• [REMOTE CONTROL ROOM] Main DCS operation screen
(overview).
• OPC Data from original PC3 being received via backhaul.
• HSE ROM device information being received via backhaul.

Conclusions
• With ROM technology these tests showed no restrictions
and no differences to:
• Operation of the plant
• Asset Management
• Configuration of blocks
• Commissioning
• Very easy and quick integration, transparent to the user
• Verification of the interoperability of ROM devices from
different manufacturers
