Figure 1 below illustrates the main ADMS hardware components configured in the typical
Rotenco EDR638 system for PEMEX applications.
All the hardware components of the EDRADMS are interconnected by multi-cables, 1 & 2 pair
signal cables, and RS232 serial line driver modems with communication cables for the DAC to
DDU and RDU1 communications.
Note: Appendix A In Manual TM630 contains detailed information about the EDR hardware,
and Chapter 3, “Installing ADMS Hardware” contains detailed installation information. The
EDR 6.3.8 hardware is the same as the EDR 5.0 & EDR 6.3.0 and is covered in the TM630
manual.
Rig Site Installation
A secured multi-rig/multi-well server is installed on the PEMEX Intranet, (IP address assigned by PEMEX).
The server is used to store data and to manage client connections making available the data
from multiple well sites at one secure server. The server is a real time data hub for clients to view
the well drilling data and activities in near real time relative to the well site time and to be able to
perform post analytical reviews on archived well data.
NOTE: For optimum real time operation the EDR638 system will require a minimum of 16Kbps
of dedicated/prioritized broadband service to upload data from a well site to the multi-well
server.
Data Acquisition Center (DAC) – Acquires and processes signal data it receives from
sensors mounted on the drilling rig. The DAC provides ADMS workstations with information
about drilling operations in real time. Some of this information is the raw channel data the
DAC receives from sensors. Other information is computed – based on mathematical
comparisons of data from multiple channels of information. The DAC houses the central
processing unit (CPU), data storage unit, input and output isolation modules, signal
conditioning equipment, power supplies, alarm controls, and communications equipment.
Driller’s Display Unit (DDU) – The DDU is the main control workstation for the ADMS. The
driller’s workstation comprises a touch screen color monitor and keypad that the driller uses
to perform channel configuration & calibrations, to view drilling data, to control the
monitoring system, and to set/re-set alarms.
Note:
Your DDU may be a
different model from the
one shown here.
The DDU communicates with the DAC via a pair of mini RS-232 Line Driver Modems (one in
DDU one in DAC) and a 2 pair twisted cable. In December 2008 a new mini driver modem
replaced the old Black Box line driver modems. These new mini modems are more efficient
and can transmit data up to one mile. Always verify that the modems in the DAC/DDU are
same type.
As the Comm computer the DDU maintains the current record of sensor calibrations, channel
configurations, settings, counters, etc.. The DDU is the only station that can change
configuration, perform calibrations, reset Depth, stroke counters, mud loss/gain, Ton Mile,
change depth, bit depth, weight on bit, pipe tally entries, pump displacement volumes, etc.
Remote computers do have a “Local” Loss/Gain option.
As of December 10 2008 Forum-AOI started using a new mini serial line driver modem. When the older “Black
Box” serial modems are replaced from this point forward you must replace the mini modem in the DDU and
the DAC with the new modems. (a straight DB9 m/f extension cable is also needed for each modem)
NOTE: The drains (terminal “G”) on each line driver must be connected together from line driver to line driver
via pin “E” on the 5 pin connectors, (not grounded). This is accomplished by connecting the strain reliefs from
the 2 twisted pairs in the comm cable to pin “E” in each 5 pin connector. Comm will not work properly without
the drains from each modem (terminal “G”) connected to one another.
Remote Display Unit (RDU) – used to view real time drilling data, to log drilling data in a
database, to provide WITS 0 options, and to generate reports (on screen or printed).
The EDR638 minimum configuration includes the DDU & RDU1-“Tool Pusher” computers.
The RDU1 (Tool Pusher) - uploads well site data from the rig to the secure multi-well server
via LAN router and Satellite Broadband connection to the PEMEX intranet.
The RDU1 can also provide a serial WITS output option via a USB/Serial Converter.
The EDR638 system can accommodate multiple remote computers on the rig, in addition to
the RDU1 Tool Pusher computer (e.g. Company Man, Logger, Remote x).
The DAC can accommodate 2 more serial communications lines for 2 more RDU’s on site in
addition to the DDU & RDU1. Additional RDU’s on or off site can connect to any RDU on site
via LAN if an IP is available. One of the RDU’s can be assigned as a LAN Hub to facilitate
additional remote clients.
Note:
Your RDU may be a
different model from
the one shown here.
Remote Slave Monitor (RSM) – a monitor used for viewing drilling data in other areas at
the rig site. As many as four slave monitors can be connected to each RDU with VGA
cables and a VGA splitter. This is a viewing station only, the scales and alarms cannot be
set on a RSM as it is viewing whatever is on the RDU it is connected to.
Sensors – Devices mounted on the rig that detect physical changes in flow, pressure,
depth, speed and other variables of drilling operations. Each sensor is a transducer
which measures and converts the physical measurements to an electronic signal –
which can be digital or analog. The DAC samples the I/O 10 times per second via an
input channel isolation module located in the DAC.
J-Boxes 1, 2, & 3 – The sensors are connected to the DAC via multi-cables routed
thru 3 Junction Boxes. Typical systems have two J-boxes, J1 (EDR) and J2 (PVT)
located in the rig floor and pits/pumps areas, respectively.
The Rotenco configuration utilizes 3 J Boxes. J Box 1 is located on the Rig Floor, J
Box 2 is located in the Shaker Area, and J Box 3 is located in the Pits & Pumps Area.
The rig sensors located in each of these areas is connected to its respective areas J
Box.
This chapter will demonstrate how to load, and configure the EDR638 Software on the Drillers
Display Unit (DDU) and Remote Display Unit(s) (RDU)’s.
The DDU is an industrial computer that the driller uses on the drill floor to interface with the EDR638
drill monitoring system. The DDU enables the driller to view the real-time rig data and to perform
tasks associated with the drilling procedures, (i.e. Set WOB, Correct Depth, Zero Stroke Counters,
etc.).
The ADMS EDR638 system minimum configuration requires one “DDU” computer and the RDU1-
(Tool Pusher) computer on a well site. The DDU does not record data in a database.
The DDU connects to the DAC in a “Comm” configuration (RS232 Serial via “Com-1”), and is used to
manage channel configurations, calibrations, and real-time data via the DAC. A database is archived
on the “RDU1 Tool Pusher” computer.
The “RDU1 Tool Pusher” computer is connected to the DAC via the “Com-1” RS232 Serial port
receiving real time data from the Minibox 100, archiving drill data to a database, uploading drill
data to the PEMEX intranet secure multi well sever via broadband. The RDU1 also provides a
serial WITS 0 interface via USB/Serial converter module.
The EDR638 system can accommodate multiple remote computers on the rig site, in addition to
the Tool Pusher RDU1. The additional RDU’s can connect to the RDU1 as remotes via LAN, or
to the PEMEX multi well server via intranet/internet, or on site to the DAC via mini RS232 line
driver modems.

Now the DDU software installation is complete and you must configure the DDU channels,
Pump Displacements, Pits, & Block Configurations on the DDU as per instructions on (pages
20 & 21). Then calibrate the sensors and the depth as per pages (22 thru 29).
Copy the DDU “Log Files” folder at “C:\Program Files\Forum\EDR6.3.8\logfiles”.
Install EDR6.3.8 software on the RDU1 Tool Pusher workstation (page 15) and paste DDU
“Log Files” into the RDU1 application folder “C:\Program Files\Forum\EDR6.3.8\logfiles”.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The EDR638 Rotenco software sends configuration & calibration data to the RDU1 thru the
DAC via the Minibox communications. For this reason the RDU1 should have the “Network
Options” “Server Upload” option Disabled while configurations and calibrations are being
performed on the DDU. This will prevent interference with DAC to RDU1 communications
during initial calibrations.
• To be sure the calibration & configuration files transfer to the RDU1 copy only the
“Log Files” folder from the DDU, (C:\Program Files\Forum\EDR6.3.8\logfiles), to
the RDU1 Toolpusher PC, (C:\Program Files\Forum\EDR6.3.8\logfiles).
In the next chapter you will load the software on the RDU1 Toolpusher PC.
The EDR638 software must be installed and running on the RDU1 and
communicating with the DAC before channel configurations and calibrations
are performed, as discussed in the highlighted section above.
After the software is successfully loaded start the EDR638 program on the RDU1 Tool Pusher PC.
Click the “Blue Arrow” at the bottom of the Draw Works Display& toolbars until the “Administrative”
toolbar is revealed.
RDU1 Toolpusher
Comm Options
Then click on the “Comm Opts” tab in the “Setup” toolbar.
The “Communication Options” window will pop up.
Select the “Com Port” bubble in the “Communication Options” window by left clicking
your cursor over the “Comm Port” option bubble.
The “Communication Options” window on the RDU1 should look like the one at right.
The Rotenco RDU1 Tool Pusher computer is connected to one of the four DB9 serial
communication ports via a pair of serial line drivers and a pair DB9 M x F RS232 serial
extension (straight thru) cables (one for each line driver). A 2 pair marine shipboard
comm cable with 5 pin connectors is also installed between the RDU1 line driver and
the DAC.
Communication Rate = 200, Com Port = 1, Baud = 19200(ghosted)
As of December 10 2008 Forum-AOI started using a new mini serial line driver modem.
When the older “Black Box” serial modems are replaced from this point forward you
must replace the mini modem in the DDU and the DAC with the new modems. (a
straight DB9 m/f cable is also needed for each modem)
NOTE: The drains (terminal “G”) on each line driver must be connected together from line driver to line driver via pin “E”,
(not grounded). This is accomplished by connecting the strain reliefs from the 2 twisted pairs in the comm cable to pin “E”
in each 5 pin connector. Comm will not work properly without the drains (terminal “G”)connected to one another.
In order for any LAN client to connect to a LAN host you must check the “Enable
Remote Connection” option in the “Network Options” window on the LAN Host. LAN
connected RDU’s communicate thru port 2000 so the rig side broadband router must
have port 2000 forwarded to the LAN Host IP address, (consult your broadband
supplier or IT group for procedures to port forward port 2000 requests to the RDU1).
(NOTE: If any RDU is to connect to the DDU this box needs to be checked on the DDU
also). You may have to forward “Port 2000” requests at your satellite router to this PC.
On the RDU1 Tool Pusher go to the “Setup” toolbar and select the “Network Options”
button in the “Setup” toolbar.
Click OK
The program will ask “Do you want to restart the program now?” Click “No”.
Now go to the “Admin” toolbar, and then click on the “Setup” button.
Proceed to set up the EDR638 “Options” on the RDU1 Toolpusher computer (next page).
When the “Options” screen appears check the “Remote Monitor” option checkbox, select “Tool
