Control architecture of hardware and software for DP-3 Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) was designed and developed according to the safety specification assigned by the class societies for deepwater operation. Both software and hardware architecture of the control system for DP-3 DPS were described in detail. Due to the different roles that sub-systems are responsible to play, software design was divided into three layers: application layer, real-time layer and physical layer. To test the software logic, hardware architecture, data interface and system reliability of the control system, a semi physical simulation system was established by combining physical simulation of the actual control system with virtual emulation of the functions of sensors, Position Reference Systems(PRM) and actuator system through data specifications and interface protocols of the real devices. The results of dynamic simulating on a deepsea drilling rig demonstrate that the control system can provide a testbed for verifying the feasibility of DPS design and for validating the control strategy and algorithm, and the control architecture can serve as reference in engineering application.
