Good automation runs deep
the seabed. It was made possible by B&R automation components that function reliably, even 2,500 meters below the surface of the ocean. Built to perform at a depth of 2,500 meters: The seabed exploration [...] resilient technology. "At 2,500 meters below sea level, conditions are extreme," says Schirmel, "so all the components used must be robust and reliable. That's why we chose B&R's X90 mobile control system [...] is capable of working at depths of up to 2,500 meters, where it can drill 200 meters into the seabed. MeBo 200 is mounted in a frame that fits nicely into a 20-foot container and is carried by a research
