PdM System Design
The TIdata PdM System is designed from a thorough Information Audit
determining the equipment environment, maintenance procedures in
place and the relevant data that can be collected.
The PdM System collects raw and processed data from multiple
technologies. Data inputs include strategically placed sensors
monitoring components on the major equipment systems, operational
data from the driller controls, lubrication analysis from outside
laboratories, data inputs from existing equipment sensors, other
data gathered by maintenance personnel.
Sensor engineering specifies the precise type and purpose of the
sensors to be installed. Placement of Sensors will be designed for
Top drives, mud pumps, draw works and other equipment. Optimal
methods will be developed for collecting data about the condition of
the bearings, gears, drives and the lubrication. Operational data
such as torque, weight, speed, temperature will be integrated into
the data collection.
The data collected from multiple sensors in identical time frames
gives a clear picture of the machinery health and performs trending
analysis under various operating conditions. Multiple indicators
analyze the relationship between separate elements such as
lubrication condition and bearing wear, providing a clear picture of
condition that helps establish root cause of problems.
Sensors
Sensors can identify many potentially damaging conditions,
including: bearing degradation, excessive synchronous vibration, and
motor overloading and overheating. They can also identify worn
machinery parts early, enabling replacement prior to serious damage.
Real-time information from sensors develops visibility into the true
condition of the machinery.
Data Collection and Processing
The PdM System monitors the equipment characteristics and collects
data to diagnose its condition. The PdM System collects large
amounts of dynamic data from the on-rig sensor network. The data is
processed and summary data is sent to the data center periodically.
Alarms/Alerts are communicated immediately if set points are
reached.
The PdM System provides the earliest possible notice of potential
problems at every site and on all equipment assets you operate,
regardless of manufacturer.
