  • Patent number: 9376894
    Abstract: A control and supply unit for an actuating device of a choke, a valve, a blow-up preventer or some other device applied in the field of oil and natural gas production includes at least an auxiliary power supply which is specially rechargeable, and a connecting means used for an exchange of data and/or for the purpose of voltage supply. To improve such a control and supply unit, such that the respective connecting means satisfy a relevant standard and has a compact structural design and is also easily accessible from outside, the control and supply unit includes, as a connecting means, a communication interface for connecting thereto a field bus and a voltage supply connection for connecting thereto a voltage supply line.

  • Patent number: 8863825
    Abstract: A control and supply unit for an actuating device of a choke, a valve, a blow-out preventer or some other device applied in the field of oil and natural gas production. The control and supply unit includes an auxiliary power supply that is rechargeable and a connecting means to exchange data or supply a voltage. The unit is implemented separately from the actuating device and the connecting means is connected via a cable connection to a separate plug connection module arranged on the actuating device.
