From May 4 to 7, 2026, Altus will be present at another edition of the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC)<\/strong>, held at NRG Park in Houston. Recognized as the world\u2019s premier Oil & Gas<\/strong> showcase, the event gathers the industry\u2019s leading players to discuss the technologies shaping the future of offshore energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a global meeting point for industry professionals, OTC emphasizes the pivotal role that oil and gas, alongside emerging offshore energy sources, play in building a more sustainable and energy-secure<\/strong> future, as offshore exploration continues to fuel economies and power industries worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a track record of strong performance in both onshore<\/strong> and offshore<\/strong> sectors, and solid expertise in automation and process control<\/strong>, Altus will present technologies designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability in critical operations<\/strong>, contributing directly to the sector\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, our products are responsible for controlling 20% of Brazil\u2019s total O&G production<\/strong> and 30% of Pre-Salt production<\/strong>, operating across 27 automated platforms and accounting for 3% of the global FPSO market<\/strong>, reaffirming our position as a strategic partner to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find Us: The Brazil Pavilion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian companies will be concentrated in a single area, facilitating networking and the visibility of national technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Altus team of specialists will be at Booth 4131<\/strong>, located within the Brazil Pavilion<\/strong> (organized by ApexBrasil) inside NRG Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the highlights at our booth will be<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New Nexto XF Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Nexto XF series<\/a> stands out for its high density of onboard I\/O within a smart, compact design, offering up to 44 integrated points in a single controller<\/strong>, including digital and analog inputs and outputs, depending on the model (please consult our sales team to verify product availability<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For larger applications requiring more I\/O points, the system can be easily expanded using expansion modules<\/strong> connected to the CPU backplane. Flexibility is further enhanced by the various field networks available in the Nexto XF series, allowing the combination of local I\/O with remote (distributed) devices<\/strong> communicating via protocols such as CANopen, EtherNet\/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and MODBUS TCP\/RTU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the footsteps of the renowned NX3008 CPU<\/strong>, the XF series continues to offer application virtualization via Docker<\/strong> and security features such as a native Firewall and VPN<\/strong> built into the CPU, both easily configurable by the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NX3035: redundant controller for maximum reliability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Designed for critical environments, the NX3035<\/a><\/strong> combines high processing performance with a hot-standby redundancy<\/strong> architecture, ensuring continuous operation even under adverse conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on a 64-bit architecture<\/strong> with high-performance ARM technology, the NX3035 is capable of supporting sophisticated systems with a high number of I\/O points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Its primary differentiator is native support for hot-standby redundancy<\/strong> mode. In critical applications, such as dynamic positioning (DP)<\/strong> and main engine control, the failure of a single controller cannot compromise the operation. In this scenario, the NX3035<\/a> ensures process continuity through bumpless (transparent) switching<\/strong> between controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the device features two SFP interfaces<\/strong> dedicated exclusively to redundancy synchronization, allowing the use of fiber optic transceivers to interconnect controllers at distances of up to 10 kilometers<\/strong>. This feature ensures electrical isolation and enables the installation of CPUs in separate compartments, increasing system reliability against localized events, such as fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NX3008: A Global CPU for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Still within the Nexto NX series<\/strong>, we feature the NX3008<\/strong>, a high-performance CPU with advanced security features, high capacity for modular architectures, connected to NX and NJ modules<\/strong>, and virtualization via Docker<\/strong>. It serves as a complete solution for systems requiring extensive connectivity, delivering performance and versatility for the most diverse demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This CPU features three Ethernet ports<\/strong>, including one Gigabit<\/strong> port and two with PROFINET Controller protocol,<\/strong> support, allowing the controller to be used within a network with an MRP ring architecture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
