MT Bridge Mate DP3
A DP 3 system has an extended hardware configuration compared to a DP 2 system. The triple redundant DP controller is still used and a minimum of three operator stations is required. There will also be three IO units to interface components, as opposed to a double set of sensors typically used in a DP 2 configuration. A DP 3 system also needs a physically separate, fire-safe compartment where one control computer, one operator station and one sensor IO unit have to be located in order to comply with Class 3 requirements.
