FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
R.O.V. Technologies, Inc. New Generation Modular Device Control Systems
R.O.V. Technologies, Inc. announces the new modular generation of its control systems for controlling its Fuel Assembly Inspection System. The fully modular system consists of 6 high resolution LCD monitors on adjustable mounts with speakers attached to a worksurface anchored to two base consoles - an audio/visual console and a control console. The compact system footprint measures 6 feet long and 3 feet wide - an overall footprint reduction of 50%.
The consoles include power conditioning distribution modules with integrated local lighting control and pull out work shelves, and incorporate removable casters for ease of mob/debmob.
The audio/visual console houses a matrix switcher that allows up to 8 inputs to be sent to any or all 16 available outputs. The digital video recorder has 8 inputs and 2 outputs and is capable of continuous recording of up to 6 inputs for 30 days. It also incorporates on-screen titlers for 8 channels.
Recorded video can be searched, played back, and burned to DVD while live recording is in process. DVD's are viewable on most computers, and include software for still image capture.
The control consoles house up to 4 hot-swappable modular device control shelves capable of controlling 2 FAIS Arms or 2 stud mounted PTZ cameras each. The control of all devices is through the use of interchangeable USB computer multifunction hand held controllers. Up to 3 controllers can be operated simultaneously. Optional local control of devices is available directly from the device control shelves, if required.
Remote lighting controls are used to allow simultaneous core verification and fuel move monitoring.
This system was deployed successfully at Exelon's Dresden station during its Fall, 2010 refueling outage. R.O.V. is adapting this modular digital technology across its full product line.
