ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 IPC for Driller’s Cabin Display

2026-08-03 00:39

Application Case

The driller’s cabin is the main operating area of a drilling rig. During operation, personnel need to view drilling parameters, equipment status and alarm information.

In this application, the iConEx XY800_DRPC ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 explosion-proof industrial PC was installed inside the driller’s cabin as the hardware terminal for drilling parameter display.

The XY800_DRPC integrates an industrial computer, display and touchscreen into one unit. The drilling monitoring software, data sources, control functions and communication settings are provided and configured by the customer or system integrator.

Drilling Parameters Displayed

The customer’s monitoring interface presents key drilling data through numerical values, gauges, status indicators and trend curves.

The displayed parameters include:

Hook load and weight on bit
Standpipe pressure
Mud return flow
Mud pump stroke rates
Flow rate and total injected volume
Rate of penetration
Bit position and well depth
Rotary table torque and speed
Mud outlet density
Draw works height, speed and pressure
Alarm information and operating trends

Displaying these parameters on one screen allows the operator to view the current drilling conditions more clearly.

Role of the XY800_DRPC

In this application, the XY800_DRPC Zone 1 explosion-proof IPC functions as an industrial computing and display device.

Its main role is to provide a reliable hardware platform for running the customer’s drilling parameter monitoring interface.

The product does not include dedicated drilling software and does not independently perform data acquisition or drilling control tasks. The monitoring software, PLC system, sensors and communication settings are selected and configured by the customer according to the project requirements.

Product Advantages

Compared with a commercial computer, the XY800_DRPC is designed for continuous industrial operation and hazardous-area applications.

Its main advantages include:

Integrated industrial computer, display and touchscreen
ATEX and IECEx certification for applicable Zone 1 installations
Reduced need for separate computer and display devices
Compact installation inside the driller’s cabin
Multiple screen-size options
Configurable hardware according to project requirements

The XY800_DRPC is available in 12-inch, 15-inch, 17-inch and 19-inch sizes, allowing customers to select a suitable display according to the control-console layout and viewing distance.

Other Applications

In addition to drilling parameter display, the XY800_DRPC can also be used as an industrial computing terminal in:

Drilling control cabins
Offshore operator stations
FPSO modules
Compressor packages
Metering skids
Analyzer shelters
Local control panels
Oil and gas equipment

The specific software, communication method and control functions depend on the customer’s system design.

Conclusion

The iConEx XY800_DRPC ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 explosion-proof IPC provides an industrial hardware platform for drilling parameter display inside a driller’s cabin. It combines an industrial computer, display and touchscreen in one unit and is available with different screen sizes and hardware configurations.
