The system monitors the Load using a Tensile Load Link or Load Pin mounted on/in a sheave block connected to the pull-in Winch cable.
A local rugged display enclosed in a Peli case was used to display the load on the offshore platform, which has a wireless link to a slave display designed to be mounted on the cable laying vessel.
The system was designed complete with an audible alarm on the Peli display, RS232/RS485 retransmission options on the slave display and also a “bolt-on” Data logger option offering the ability to log data over time and view load trends in graphical format.
