EDMS Calibration
There are two calibration procedures for EDMS: full calibration and two-point calibration.
Use the Full calibration procedure under the following conditions:
‰ At initial system installation.
‰ When the number of lines strung has changed.
‰ After a cut-and-slip, if the zero block position on the drawworks drum changes layers.
‰ When the line diameter has been changed.
Two-Point calibration should be performed under the following conditions:
‰ After each cut and slip, provided the zero block position on the drawworks drum is on the
same layer that it was on during full calibration.
‰ After power failures that deplete the E-DEPTH battery backup.
Full Calibration
The following items are required to perform a full calibration:
‰ Calibration switch box (P/N 219255-001) and calibration cable assembly (P/N 221564-001).
‰ 100-foot tape measure.
‰ Calibration Worksheet.
‰ Laptop PC and calibration cable assembly (P/N 220082).
Complete the following steps:
1. Connect cable assembly P/N 221564-001 to the calibration switch box.
2. Open the front of the DAQ and connect the free end of cable assembly P/N 221564-001 to
the field termination board J1S connector, Figure 2.7.

counts and the measured block height.
10. Move the block up until the cable reaches Position 3, shown on Figure 2.8. Press
CONNECTION button. Write down the EDMS counts and the measured block height.

Note: To ensure accurate calibration, make all layer change measurements to within 6
inches (152.4 mm) of actual wrap change.

reached. Now proceed to step 13.
13. Move the block down until elevators touch floor, Position 2 shown on Figure 2.8. Press
CONNECTION and LAYER CHANGE buttons at the same time. The CAL BOX light will
begin to flash, ending calibration mode.
14. Reconnect the laptop to the DAQ, select DAQ ACCESS: [LOAD ALL] configuration from
DAQ. Enter data from steps 6, 9, 10 and 11, as well as drill line size, lines strung and counts
per wrap (encoder counts per one full turn; should be a 2000 or 625). Refer to Figure 2.10

Drill Logic Calibration

Drill Logic is set of inter-linked algorithms necessary to monitor the drilling process. These
algorithms (Drill Logic) are used to calculate various channels such as Bit Position, Hole Depth,
String Speed, String Length (increase/decrease), and Bit Weight. Figure 2.11 details information
necessary to set-up Drill Logic. Figure 2.12 describes how Drill Logic calculates Bit Position, Last
Elm Length and String Length.

Trigger Hook Load- Equals

the weight of the Block and
Kelly plus 20%. Trigger
Hook Load is used to
indicate when pipe is in or
out of the Slips.
Out of Slips- When Hook
Load is greater than Trigger
Hook Load.
In Slips- When Hook Load
is than Trigger Hook Load.

Kelly Down Length is

measured two ways.

1. Measure from top of

the Kelly to bottom of
Saver Sub.

2. Measure from yellow or

white mark to bottom of
Saver Sub. (Marks are
placed on Kelly by
customer).
Kelly Offset

Kelly Down Length Kelly Offset: Move

Block and Kelly until
threads of Kelly Saver
Sub are below the
floor.
Kelly Offset = Block

Offshore Semi-Sub and Drill Ship Setup

Drill Logic requires setup for these channels for use on a semi-submersible rig or drill ship.
For either of these cases, the following applies for Drill Floor Level (Drl Fr Level):
‰ This channel is the measured distance from rig floor to sea floor, and must be set each time
the rig moves.
‰ This channel will affect Hole Depth. If set, Hole Depth will not change until String Length is
greater than Drl Fr Level set value.

Channel Values & Offsets

Use the Channel Values & Offsets option to view and edit offset values assigned to channels. The
offset value is the difference between the actual data value and the value displayed. For example,
if a channel is zeroed at the display device, from then on the value displayed for the channel will be
less than the actual value by the amount that the channel was zeroed.
The standard procedure is to subtract offsets from actual channel values, so the offset value is a
positive number. However, in the rare situation in which the user would want to add an offset value
to the actual value, the offset value would be entered as a negative number.
To view and/or edit channel values and offsets:
1. From the CalConf main menu, highlight CALIBRATION and press ENTER. The SYSTEM
CALIBRATION SOFTWARE screen is displayed (Figure 2.15).
2. Highlight VALUES & OFFSETS: [SET] and press enter. The Current Channel Values &
Offset screen (Figure 2.15) is displayed. For each channel, this screen displays the current
value, in engineering units, and the offset value.
3. To edit the channel value or enter the manual value for this type of channel, use the arrow
keys to highlight the channel name, then type in the new value and press ENTER.
4. To edit the offset value, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the pointer to the left of the
offset value, then type in the new value and press ENTER.
5. To view additional channels, highlight [MORE] and press ENTER.
6. To exit, press Esc or highlight [EXIT] and press ENTER.

2. Highlight TIME/DATE: [SET] and press enter. The screen shown below is displayed. Use the
arrow keys to move the cursor to the left of each item to edit. To edit the month, select from
the submenu.

3. Highlight Update and press ENTER to save the changes.

Save To Disk
Use this option to save the calibration, channel values and offsets to floppy/disk, as follows.
1. From the CalConf main menu, highlight CALIBRATION and press ENTER. The SYSTEM
CALIBRATION SOFTWARE screen is displayed (Figure 2.15).
2. Highlight SENSORS, EDMS or VALUES & OFFSETS: [SAVE] and press ENTER. A
message similar to the following is displayed.

3. Type in the name to save the data under. If the name entered is already assigned to an
existing file, the following message is displayed:

4. To overwrite the existing file, highlight OVERWRITE and press ENTER. Otherwise, highlight

3: Specifications and Operation

Principles of Operation
An incremental encoder produces a series of square waves as it rotates. The encoder functions by
rotating an internal code disc in the path of a light source. The code disc acts as a shutter to
alternately shut off or transmit the light to a photo-detector. The light source, code disc, photo-
detector, and an electronic signal conditioning assembly all reside in a single housing. The
resolution of the encoder is determined by the number of lines on the code disc. If the resolution of
an encoder is 500 complete cycles per revolution, one cycle is generated for every 0.72° of
rotation (360°/500). The signal from the photo-detector is connected to an electronic signal
conditioning assembly that converts the signal to two open collector outputs labeled A and B. The
encoder is connected to a PLC or other data acquisition system using four wires—one for signal A,
one for signal B, one for instrument power (V+), and one for instrument power/signal return (0V).
The encoder is supplied with two channels, A and B, as shown in Figure 3.2 on page 30. The A
and B signals are offset from one another by 90° (quarter cycle). This is a quadrature signal, and
allows for determination of direction as well as speed. By examining the phase relationship
between the A and B channels, it can be determined if the encoder is rotating in the
counterclockwise direction (A leads B), or the clockwise direction (B leads A). This allows the
encoder to be used as a position sensor. The number of cycles provides distance of travel, while
the phase information provides the directional information.
Additionally, the A and B signals allow for an accuracy increase of four times the basic resolution
of the encoder. This is accomplished by counting the square wave transitions rather than the
number of cycles. As can be seen in Figure 3.2 on page 30, there are four transitions per cycle.
This increases the resolution of the encoder, for instance, from 500 cycles per revolution to 2000
transitions per revolutions. This results in one transition for every 0.18° of rotation (360°/2000).
