Abstract

An equipment controller includes an actuator control module configured for connection to an actuator that provides operational control of a piece of monitored equipment; a sensing module configured to monitor a state of a parameter of the monitored equipment; an optional local control interface for the actuator control module and the sensing module; and a secondary power system to provide operational power for the actuator control modules, the sensing modules and the control interface when primary power to the equipment controller is not available. Where desired, a communications interface to permit communications with a remote operations center may be included. Some or all of the modules may be contained in water tight housings, permitting operation of the equipment controller even when fully submerged in water.
