The CAMERON AAP3798102-00130 is a highly specialized and robust industrial electronic controller, actuator interface, or I/O termination module, specifically designed as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component for Cameron’s (now part of Schlumberger, and subsequently part of SLB) comprehensive portfolio of industrial process control and automation systems. This part number is characteristic of a subsystem component within larger Cameron assemblies, such as those used for valve control, flow metering, or pressure management in critical oil and gas, petrochemical, and pipeline applications. The module likely serves as a critical interface between high-level control signals (e.g., from a PLC, DCS, or SCADA system) and field-mounted final control elements—most notably, Cameron’s sophisticated hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuation systems for large industrial valves. It functions to interpret command signals (e.g., 4-20 mA, discrete on/off, or digital bus commands), manage local control logic, and provide the precise power conditioning and drive signals necessary to position an actuator accurately and reliably.
The value of the CAMERON AAP3798102-00130 lies in its role as a customized, application-optimized link within a larger, integrated control solution. Engineered by Cameron for Cameron equipment, it ensures flawless compatibility, optimized performance, and maximum reliability for demanding field operations. In critical applications such as subsea production control, pipeline emergency shutdown (ESD) valve actuation, or process flow control in refineries, this module provides the intelligence and signal integrity required for fail-safe, deterministic operation. Its design prioritizes durability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including wide temperature ranges, humidity, vibration, and potentially explosive atmospheres (when housed in appropriate enclosures), making it a cornerstone for ensuring process safety, integrity, and efficiency in upstream and midstream energy sectors.

Key Features and Advantages
The CAMERON AAP3798102-00130 is defined by its seamless system integration and application-specific engineering. As a purpose-built component for Cameron’s own actuator systems, it is perfectly matched to the electrical, mechanical, and control characteristics of the associated valve actuator (hydraulic or electric). This eliminates integration guesswork, reduces commissioning time, and ensures optimized performance parameters such as stroke time, torque profiling, and fail-safe behavior are pre-configured and validated.
AAP3798102-00130
Robustness and reliability in extreme conditions are paramount. The module is engineered from the ground up for the demanding environments typical of oil & gas fields, pipelines, and processing plants. This includes conformal-coated circuit boards for protection against moisture and corrosive atmospheres, high-grade connectors resistant to vibration, and components rated for extended temperature cycles. This rugged construction minimizes downtime and maintenance needs in remote or inaccessible locations.
Advanced local intelligence and diagnostic capabilities provide a significant operational advantage. Beyond simple signal conversion, the module typically incorporates a microcontroller that executes local control logic. This can manage complex sequences like automatic hydraulic pump control, valve position feedback conditioning, and local permissive/interlock checking. Comprehensive diagnostics monitor internal health, power supply quality, output circuit status, and communication integrity. This information is available via status indicators and can be communicated upstream, enabling predictive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting, which is critical for minimizing mean time to repair (MTTR) on critical infrastructure.
Application Areas
The CAMERON AAP3798102-00130 is exclusively deployed within Cameron’s suite of industrial flow control and automation solutions, primarily in the energy sector. Its most prominent application is as the electronic control core for large valve actuators on oil and gas pipelines. This includes mainline block valves, emergency shutdown (ESD) valves, and sectionalizing valves, where the module ensures reliable operation for isolation, pressure regulation, and safety shutdowns.
In upstream oil and gas production, it is integral to control systems for Christmas tree valves, manifold valves, and injection well control, often in subsea or wellhead applications where reliability is non-negotiable. Within liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and refineries, the module is used to control critical process valves for cryogenic service, loading arms, or pressure relief systems. It is also found in water management and distribution systems for large-scale infrastructure projects that utilize Cameron’s high-performance valves and actuators. In essence, the CAMERON AAP3798102-00130 is applied wherever precise, reliable, and fail-safe control of Cameron’s heavy-duty flow control equipment is required, typically in settings characterized by high pressures, corrosive media, and demanding environmental conditions.
