1-1 PURPOSE OF MANUAL

This manual contains start-up, configuration, calibration and maintenance instructions for the

TOTAL Configuration and Calibration (CalConf) software, System 4. This software is used to

configure the TOTAL (M/D Totco Advanced Data Logging) system and calibrate its sensors.

1-2 NEW FEATURES OF SYSTEM 4

1-2-1 Features affecting the DAQ

System 4 is deterministic.

This means that the update rate for each channel in the DAQ can be configured via

CalConf in a range from 10 times per second to once every 12 seconds. Whenever the

update rate has been changed, CalConf will compute a new channel schedule for the DAQ.

If it is determined that the DAQ cannot execute the new schedule, a message will be

displayed on the CalConf PC indicating that the schedule must be changed before it can be

sent to the DAQ.

The System 4 network poll rate is configurable.

Just as the update rate for each channel can be configured, the poll rate for each device on

the network can be configured in a range from 5 times per second to once every 6 seconds.

The poll rate is the rate at which the DAQ sends an Inquiry to a device on the network;

after a device receives an Inquiry, then it can send data back to the DAQ. This data could

be a change to the scale value on a VXC strip chart or a new depth value entered on a

Spectrum display.

System 4 uses Channel Types.

In System 4, every channel must be assigned a specific Channel Type value. This value is

selected from a list of available types in CalConf during configuration. The Channel Type

value is then used by the algorithm processor, instead of the channel number,thereby

allowing channels to be moved to any location in the channel list without having to change

the algorithm for each channel.

Multiple channels can be assigned the same type, which simplifies algorithms that use

multiple channels. For example, all Pit Volume channels would be assigned the same

type, thereby allowing the Total Mud Volume algorithm to be as simple as adding up all of

the values of channels of this type, regardless of how many there are or where they are in

the channel configuration list.System 4 supports new features.

System 4 now contains the MDS Depth Logic, MDS Smart alarms for Washout and Kick

Detection, and enhancements for the Drilloff application.

CHAPTER 1 TOTAL Calconf SoftwareNEW FEATURES OF SYSTEM 4 Manual 60-41

Page 1-2 November 11, 1998

M/D TOTCO

System 4 uses internal and external algorithms.

A library of algorithms has been included with the DAQ code for System 4, and these

algorithms can be selected from a list in CalConf when configuring each channel. These

algorithms run faster because they are written in C code inside the DAQ and they cannot

be modified in the field via CalConf. New algorithms can still be created from CalConf

using the algorithm editor, which is much easier to use than the stack-based editor in

System 3.

System 4 supports 275 channels.

System 4 can support up to 275 channels. Each channel value is saved at power-down, as

opposed to only selected values in system 3. In addition, each channel in System 4 is fil-

tered and the filter values have been reversed from System 3 so that a filter value of 0%

means no filtering and a value of 100% means full filtering. Because a filter value of

100% means that 100% of the old data value is used and 0% of the new data is used, the

maximum allowed filter value is 99.9%.

Channel values and offsets can be seen and edited from CalConf.

CalConf provides a set of screens from the Calibration menu that will let the user see and

edit the current and offset values for each channel. This new feature is also the way thatmanual values are set (compare with System 3, where they were set during channel con-

figuration). In addition, time and date can now be set from the Calibration screen.

CalConf and the DAQ stay synchronized in System 4.

Whenever a change is made to either CalConf or the DAQ, a message is displayed

indicating that the two systems no longer contain the same data. The user has the option of

loading CalConf with the data from the DAQ or sending the data from CalConf to the

DAQ, and one of these options must be chosen before the user can proceed to any other

function in CalConf.

CalConf supports new debug and diagnostic features.

The terminal emulator mode of CalConf, which can be accessed by pressing the F6 key atany time, now supports an entire menu of debug and diagnostic features to assist in trou-

bleshooting TOTAL installations.

1-2-2 Features affecting VXC/SAC Displays

System 4 supports two channels on a single strip chart.

Two channels can now be displayed on a single strip chart, and this strip chart can, itself,

be a single- or double-wide chart. Both channel values are displayed in graphical and

digital format, but the scale of the chart is the one for the first channel listed.

System 4 supports larger menu text.

The menu text in System 4 is larger than that used in System 3. Additionally, the menusare now programmable via CalConf, which will allow menus to be easily changed to

support International versions and customer requests.

System 4 supports new screen objects.

New screen objects, such as Mini-View boxes, auto-scaling strip charts and message

boxes for Smart Alarms are available in System 4.

CHAPTER 2TOTAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2-1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter contains an overview of the TOTAL system and a description of the devices that make

up the system.

2-2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

TOTAL is a modular instrumentation system composed of independent devices that monitor,

record, display and print drilling data. The individual system devices are linked via a communica-

tions network, called T-POT.

The following paragraphs describe each TOTAL system device.

2-2-1 System Data Acquisition Unit (System DAQ)

The System DAQ is the primary device in any TOTAL system. It has four main functions:

receives and processes raw data from up to 23 analog and 14 digital sen-

sors and places the processed data on the T-POT network for access by

system devices

communicates with the system devices to send and receive data

provides output to drive up to 14 instruments, such as chart recorders,

meters, relays and alarms

maintains all configuration and calibration information in non-volatile

memory.

2-2-2 Slave DAQ

Slave DAQs are used if the 23 analog sensors and/or 14 digital input/output connectors of

the System DAQ are not adequate. Slave DAQs gather and process raw sensor data and

place the processed data, in engineering units, on the T-POT network for the System DAQ

to use. This processed data can also be used by the Slave DAQ digital connectors to drive

other instruments (i.e. chart recorders, etc.).

2-2-3 Visulogger XC Graphics Display (VXC)

The Visulogger XC Graphics Display is a monitor, with attaching keypad, used to display

and monitor sensor data on the rig floor. Via the keypad, the operator can select and edit

display screens, set alarm limits and control channel functions (i.e. activate/deactivatechannels, zero channel values, etc.). The keypad also controls an alarm horn that sounds

when alarm limits are exceeded. Each VXC can support three, 9- or 12-inch slave moni-

tors, which duplicate the VXC display.

CHAPTER 2 TOTAL Calconf SoftwareSYSTEM OVERVIEW Manual 60-41


M/D TOTCO

2-2-4 Safe Area CID (SAC)

The SAC has basically the same functionality as the VXC, with the following exceptions:

It is designed for use only in safe areas

Hard copy printouts of display screens can be generated, if a printer

(optional) is used

Higher resolution of strip chart displays.

Smart alarm processing

Disk archiving

2-2-5 PC Workstation (PCW)

The PC Workstation is an IBM-compatible personal computer and monitor, with optional

printer/plotter, that is used to run the Visulogger Interface Program (VIP). With VIP, the

PCW can:

store data from the System DAQ in data files on the PC hard drive

compare data values for each channel to user-specified alarm limits

allow DAQ data to be accessed at the rig site and at other locations

(master sites)

display current (real-time) and recorded (historical) data on the monitor

and via hardcopy printouts

reformat data files on the hard drive for import to spreadsheet or database

applications programs.

2-2-6 Smart Network Device

A Smart Network Device is a device that is configured at the device, rather than using

CalConf. Currently, VIP+ is the only smart network device.

VIP+ is a Windows-based program that runs on an IBM-compatible PC with Super VGAmonitor and optional plotter/printer. With VIP+, the user can:

store data from the System DAQ and VIP+ in Microsoft Access-compati-

ble data files on the PC hard drive

set up to 60 alarms for either single or combination events

allow data to be accessed at the rig site and at other locations

display current (real-time) and recorded (historical) data on the monitor

and via graphical printouts

access data directly in Microsoft Excel, or export the data in ASCII for-

mat for use in other programs

run engineering application programs and perform "what if" scenarios onthe data.

2-2-7 WITS TIM

The WITS TIM is used to translate T-POT data into the Wellsite Information Transfer

Specification (WITS) level 0 format. This device allows the DAQ to send and receive data

from other computer systems on the rig that support WITS level 0.

TOTAL Calconf Software CHAPTER 2Manual 60-41 SYSTEM OVERVIEW


M/D TOTCO

2-2-8 DAQ/SPECTRUM Interface (DSI)

The DSI converts data from the System DAQ into a format that can be read by a SPEC-

TRUM 1000 display panel or SPECTRUM-type display panel (i.e. Mud Watch) and then

forwards the formatted data to the display. It also converts and forwards operator-entered

data entered to the System DAQ.

2-2-9 T-POT Network

The T-POT network allows communication between the System DAQ and all other

TOTAL system devices. It is a time-division, multiplexed, single-wire, frequency-shift-

keying (FSK) communications media that uses a unique protocol developed specifically

for the tasks associated with TOTAL. Each device connected to the network has an

assigned identification number to ensure that data records are routed correctly.

3-1 INTRODUCTION

The Configuration and Calibration (CalConf) software is used to configure the TOTAL system and

calibrate its sensors. This chapter contains the following:

description of the files that comprise the CalConf software

CalConf System default channels

DAQ software default channels

summary of the CalConf software functions

system configuration and calibration overview

3-2 CONTENTS OF CalConf SOFTWARE

The files that comprise the CalConf software are listed in Table 3-1. As shown, the software con-sists of executable files, calledconfiguration modules, and data files, calledmaster files. These

files are used to configure the TOTAL system and calibrate its sensors.

3-3 CONFIGURATION MODULES

Configuration modules are executable files that configure the TOTAL system and its devices.

These files are identified by a.EXEextension. Configuration modules are automatically read into

memory and executed as needed during program operation. They cannot be modified using the

CalConf software and, therefore, can be used to configure any TOTAL system. As Table 3-1

shows, there is a configuration module for each type of device.

CalConf.EXE is the program configuration module. It is automatically loaded when the software isinitialized with the CalConf command (Section 4-4) and directs all other configuration modules

and master files (or data files), as they are loaded.

3-4 MASTER FILES

The CalConf software master files are data files that contain default configuration and calibration

information. They are typically used as templates for configuring and calibrating a new system or

overwriting existing configurations. As Table 3-1shows, these files are identified by the file name

MAST_xxxand a three-letter extension that describes the files contents.

Master files are read into memory using one or more of the FLOPPY/DISK options (CHAPTER 5)

and then modified, as needed, to describe the system. In most cases, the modified versions of mas-

ter files are saved to floppy as data files under a user-specified file name, and the original master

files are left on floppy in their unaltered form. While this is the recommended procedure, it is pos-

sible to overwrite the original master files with the modified versions by entering a password and

saving the files to floppy under the file nameMAST_xxx.For the password, contact Field Engi-

neering.

There are two types of master files: system master files and device master files.

TOTAL Calconf Software CHAPTER 3Manual 60-41 DATA FILES


M/D TOTCO

3-4-1 System Master Files

System master files contain default settings for all configuration parameters at the system

level. These files are namedMAST_xxx.ZZZ, whereZZZis a three-letter abbreviation for

the type of configuration information contained in the file. For example,MAST_xxx.STR

contains the default rig activity string andMAST_xxx.CALcontains default calibration

information. Table 3-1summarizes the contents of each system master file.

3-4-2 Device Master Files

For each type of device, there is a Master file, which can be used as a template in config-

uring the device. The contents of each master file are summarized in Table 3-1and

described below.

3-5 DATA FILES

Data files are created from master files. They are the modified versions of master files, which are

saved to floppy/disk under a user-specified file name. Data files differ from master files in that they

contain configuration information for user-selected channels only. Master files, on the other hand,contain configuration information for all assigned channels. Figure 3-1shows the relation between

master files and data files. As with master files, there are two types of data files: system data files

and device data files.

Like master files, data files can be used as templates from which to create new configurations. For

example, a data file namedRIG A.CHNcan be loaded from floppy/disk, modified to describe the

channel configuration of Rig B and then saved to floppy/disk asRIG B.CHN.

3-5-1 System Data Files

System data files contain the same type of information that system master files contain

and are named in the same manner. Figure 3-1shows the relation between system master

files and system data files.

3-5-2 Device Data Files

Device data files contain the same type of information as device master files. However,

data files only contain user-selected configurations and are unique for each device,

whereas master files contain default configurations and are unique for each device type.

If devices are added to the system, all data files for the added devices are assigned the

same file name, with successive numerical extensions. For example, if two PCWs are

added and configured and the data files are saved to floppy under the name

NEWCONFG, then the PCW data files areNEWCONFG.030,NEWCONFG.031and

NEWCONFG.032(Figure 3-1).

TOTAL Calconf Software CHAPTER 3Manual 60-41 PROGRAM SUMMARY


M/D TOTCO

3-6 PROGRAM SUMMARY

The CalConf Software has five main functions, which are summarized below. These functions may

be selected in any order.

CONFIGURATION- used to configure the system and its component devices and

sensors

CALIBRATION- used to calibrate the sensor channel for each sensor and for

EDMS, if E-DEPTH is part of the system; also used to view/edit channel values and

offsets

DIAGNOSTICS- used to view system information; namely:

- device software versions

- channels and channel types

- sensor input values in raw counts or engineering units, arranged by con-

nector number

- analog and digital connector assignments

DAQ ACCESS- used to send/retrieve configuration and calibration information to/

from the System DAQ and to clear all configuration data in the DAQ

FLOPPY/DISK - used to save/retrieve configuration and calibration files to/from

floppy or to/from the hard drive.

3-7 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION & CALIBRATION

The steps below and in Figure 3-2outline a general procedure for configuring and calibrating a

new, single-DAQ system. For specifics, refer to the pertinent chapters.

1. Record DAQ connector assignments for each sensor and/or instrument driven by the

DAQ on a DAQ Channel Worksheet, like the one in Appendix A.

2. Initialize the CalConf software and perform a DAQ ACCESS:[CLEAR ALL] to guar-

antee that any previous configurations in the DAQ are erased.

3. Load the desired Master files from floppy or from the hard drive using FLOPPY/

DISK: [LOAD ALL].

4. Configure the DAQ by selecting SYSTEM/DAQ from the TOOLS: [CONFIGURA-

TION] menu. Create a System channel list by adding and deleting the necessary

channels from the master channel list. Refer to Table C-1.to ensure that all required

channels are configured. All channels that will be used by any device must be part of

the SYSTEM/DAQ configuration list.

4-3 HARDWARE DEFAULTS AND COMMAND MODIFIERS

Configuration and Calibration software defaults that describe the laptop (or desktop) computer and

its communication with the DAQ are used unless otherwise specified. The defaults are:

The PC monitor will operate in black and white mode. The PC is connected to the DAQ through COM port 1.

The DAQ is assigned device id D0, i.e. it is a Master DAQ.

Interrupt 60 is used to pass data between the CalConf module and VXC module.

CalConf is run from drive A:

To override one or more defaults, append the appropriate command modifier(s) to the CALCONF

command, as described in Section 4-4. A command modifier is a letter and/or number appended to

a command to modify its meaning.

The Default/Command Modifier screen (Figure 4-1) lists all command modifiers. To view this

screen, type CALCONF ?and then press ENTER. The screen is displayed, with hardware defaults

preceded by asterisks. Press < ENTER > or to return to the root directory.

4-4 INITIALIZING CalConf

CalConf is typically run from a laptop computer connected to a DAQ. However, systems can also

be configured without a DAQ (daqless). Section 4-4-1describes how to set up and initialize the

software when the computer is connected to a DAQ and Section 4-4-2describes a daqless setupand initialization procedure.

4-4-1 Connected to DAQ

Following are two procedures for initializing CalConf while connected to a DAQ. The

procedure in Section 4-4-1-2assumes that the Laptop has a hard drive.
