[0002] Currently, most MCS and HPU systems used in well completion operations are integrated, large, and heavy, making them inconvenient for on-site equipment placement and hoisting operations on offshore platforms. They also utilize a single power supply and are compatible with a single power supply system. PLC systems are mostly non-redundant, and the upper-level system network utilizes a star or daisy-chain design, resulting in poor reliability. The master server typically utilizes a conventional single-system design. This single-layer network, without isolation between the field equipment layer and the upper-level control layer, creates the potential for network storms. Furthermore, the MCS and HPU cannot operate independently, lacking the ability to synchronize ROV signals with the control system. Summary of the Invention
