Product Description

The ADS (automatic drilling system) utilizes the control capabilities of a PLC with an integrated HMI screen. The result is a powerful system which is both safe and easily operated.
ADS controls the drilling tool speed and location based on from an encoder coupled to the drawworks. Input from a dead line transducer is used to control and monitor speed of the motor and weight on bit. Input from a mud pressure transducer can be used to control the mud motor pressure delta parameters.
The ADS control functions include: weight on bit, rate of drilling and mudmotor pressure delta. The system includes dual limits for alarm and shut down which operate independently of the function control set points.
