The LM 770 drawworks consists of a drum, gear box, two AC motors, a disc brake
system, and a lubrication system. It has a spool-shaped revolving drum around which
the drilling line is wrapped. The drum shaft is connected to the speed reducing gear
box output shaft with a crowned gear flexible coupling. The gear box provides a speed
reducing ratio from the two (2) AC high speed (HTM 1230 AC Vector Motors)
motors coupled to the input shafts with crowned gear flexible couplings. The torque
produced by the two AC Variable Frequency motors is transferred through the speed
reducer to the drum shaft assembly. The transmission of the drawworks is short and
direct driven consequently its overall mechanical efficiency is high.
The Hydraulic disc brake system consists of a brake caliper, actuating mechanism, and
a hydraulic power unit (HPU). These units are connected by hydraulic tubing network.
The hydraulic power unit (HPU) provides power for actuating the Brake Calipers
against the Air Cooled Disc mounted on the Drum Assembly flanges. The Braking
Calipers include normally open Service Calipers and also normally closed Safety
Calipers.
The drawworks is powered by two sets of 1230 HP AC motors. The drawworks control
system is connected to the driller’s control console in the driller’s cabin. The driller
controls the drawworks from a panel, or console within the driller’s cabin. The driller
can change the speed with which the drum revolves, thereby varying the speed with
which the drawworks raises the traveling block and hook.
An illustrative diagram of the drum shaft assembly, brake systems, geared speed
reducer and electric motor arrangement for the drawworks is shown next.

The AC Drawworks is powered by two (2) low speed/high torque AC motors. These two
motors are the heart of the full capacity hoisting system. The output shafts of these motors
are coupled to the input shafts of a two stage geared speed reducer. The output shaft of the
speed reducer is coupled to the drum shaft. The drum shaft is keyed to the hubs within the
drum assembly. The drum has machined grooving for the drilling line. The flanges of the
drum assembly have the two friction discs attached. The two frame support brackets are
bolted to the main skid and to the drawworks frame assembly. The disc brake calipers are
mounted to this support frame to provide the braking force to the drum through the friction
disc. A hydraulic power unit with pumps and controls is mounted behind the Drawworks
frame. All of this equipment is mounted to a unitized skid.
The two AC motors are also used as a main brake for the drawworks. The motor generated
energy from the braking is dissipated through a resistor bank. The motor power is selected to
be large enough so that it can stop the traveling block under maximum load at maximum
speed within a reasonable time frame. No auxiliary brake is needed. Thus, the braking
system is fully regenerative. The hydraulic disc brake consists of a safety brake (normally
closed) and a working brake (normally open). The safety brake is used for parking. It is
activated through a switch in the driller cabin.
Control of the drawworks is achieved through Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and is
discussed in the VFD Control manual.
A suitable drillers control system should be provided by the user of this drawworks to
enhance the performance capabilities of the drawworks and utilize the full capacity of the
motor for hoisting and braking. This control system will interface with the drawworks
motors and hydraulic braking system for maximum safety and efficiency during operations.
Refer to the brake manual and motor manual for details of their functions and required
interface.
Optional sensors (encoders) can be provided on the gear reducer output shaft to provide feed
back regarding line speed and block positioning to the drillers control system. Encoders can
also be provided on the motor output shafts to provide feedback to the drillers controls and
VFD's regarding motor speed.

Main drum is used to wind the drill line of the traveling system and drive traveling
block. Main drum mainly consists of drum body, shaft, left and right bearing boxes,
self-aligning bearing, bearing cap, brake disc, shaft system accessories, fixing parts
(coupling bolts, nuts, spring washers). Main drum shaft is manufactured of high quality
alloy steel. The drum shaft is connected with drum body by double keys. The two sides
are attached to the drawworks frame by two self-aligning roller bearings. The drum
body is a solid piece with a rope groove cut directly into it. The drum is high strength
for a long service life and to reduce the attrition rate of drill line, improving the service
life of the drill line. The main drum is connected with drawworks frame by the 18
coupling plates on the bearing boxes of both sides.
After machining and installation the drum unit is subjected to a static balancing test,
dynamic balancing test, and a strength test equal to the pulling force of the fast line on
the main drum. The wire line is anchored on the drum with a wire line clamp.
A crown-o-matic valve is installed on the upper bracket of main drum. The valve body
can move along bracket and drum axle line. The length of actuator rod is adjustable.
The lifting height of traveling block is corresponding with the number of drilling line
wraps on the drum when the blocks are at the upper portion of the mast and the drilling
line is at its maximum level on the drum. Adjust the over winding saving valve in
advance to control the saving height of traveling block. When the indicator bar of
Crown-o-matic valve touches the top layer of the drilling line on the drum, the saving
signal is separated into two circuits. One circuit cuts hydraulic disc brake control valve
power supply to perform emergency braking of hydraulic disc brake. The other circuit
produces 24V switch system to inform electric control system to stop drawworks and
stop the traveling block to prevent the traveling block from hitting the crown.

Note: The crown-o-matic and the encoder system should be set before operating
the drawworks.
The gear box is a speed reducer. It is a two-stage drive device. Its input shaft and
output shaft are parallel; its casing (box) is a welded structure and reinforced at highly
stressed locations.
All gears and gear shafts are high precision spiral gears; the teeth are carburized,
hardened and grinded; the teeth are revised with high strength and low noise.
The input and output shafts of the speed reducer are made of high quality Quench and
Tempered steel.

The speed reducer (Gear Box) has gears with high capacity transmission power. Input
shaft is connected with motor coupler by splinted shaft coupler. Output shaft is
connected with drum axle by splined shaft coupler. The connection is simple so that it
can be installed and maintained conveniently. Speed reducer uses a mechanical seal.
The speed reducer uses a forced lubrication system to ensure the gearbox will be
properly lubricated even for long periods at low working speed (auto bit feed working
condition). The lubrication system is equipped with filter, lubrication preheating unit,
pressure gauge, and thermometer to ensure the gear box will work reliably.
After the gear box installation is complete, the shaft should be manually rotated. The
gear box shaft should rotate easily, and without excessive noise..

The hydraulic brake system consists of brake calipers (safety brake and working brake),
actuating system, and a hydraulic power unit (HPU).
Parking Brake function: When the drilling operations need to be stopped or the driller
wants to leave the driller cabin, pulling down the parking brake handle will set the
“Safety” brake calipers to stop the drum from rotating, and the block will stop moving.
Detailed description of the hydraulic disc brake can be seen in the user’s manual for the
hydraulic disc brake.
The drawworks frame is a structural part which is used to install the main drum, disc
brake, and Crown-o-matic saver valve/switch. A top shield and disc brake shield are
designed to protect the personnel, main drum, and brake disc. Crown saver valve
brackets are located on the top shield of drawworks frame. The frame assembly also
integrates the mounting base of the drawworks, the system lubrication lines and other
accessories.
Braking fluid cylinder shield of hydraulic disc brake is connected to the drawworks
frame with bolts.
The drawworks components are mounted on a skid. All the components are
interconnected so that the drawworks can be transported as a package.

The gear box lubricating system consists of a lubricating pump, oil reservoir, and
piping. Only one pump is required for lubrication, however, there are two (2) pump
and motors for redundancy. The pumps are mounted vertically inside the oil reservoir.
The valve between the two pumps should be closed and only one pump should be
turned on. The oil reservoir is located at the bottom of the skid. It has a rectangular
shape, and has an approximate capacity of 229 gallons. A dipstick is installed inside
the tank and is used for checking the oil reservoir level. The piping connects the pump
to the gear box, and the gear box back to the oil tank. The oil level in the reservoir is
not critical, but there must be enough oil to maintain circulation. It is recommended to
fill the reservoir to about 50% to 80% full (approximately 115 to 180 gallons). Two oil
pressure gauges are installed before and after the oil filter in order to monitor the oil
flow and the filter status. (See also the Drawworks Gearbox Operation and
Maintenance Manual).

installation procedure:
4.1.1. Install the wire line clamp per slot provided in drum Loosen nut 4, insert wire
line extend about 4” (100mm) past clamp.
4.1.2. Leave proper length of wire line in the left side of dog knot, tighten the nut. The
tightening torque shall note exceed 400 ft lbs .
4.1.3. Check the wire line clamp to verify that it is tight enough, and put it inside the
side opening of the main drum.
4.1.4. Rotate main drum slowly to make dog knot move forward along the groove, until
it reach the end of opening. Keep on rotating the main drum, reel wire line wraps
onto main drum and make sure wire line wraps closely.
Caution: At least 7 wraps of wire line must remain on the main drum when the
traveling block is approaching the rig floor.

4.2.1. Start the brake HPU in order to charge the brake system
4.2.2. Check the functionality of the disc brake and crown-o-matic valve
4.2.3. Start the gear box lubrication system
4.2.4. Start the blower motor on AC motors
4.2.5. Start the main AC motors
The Hydraulic Power Unit is an integral part of the drawworks hydraulic brake system.
Due to application of hydraulic system, the disc brake is more complicated than the
traditional band brake. In particular, some dirt sensitive high-performance components,
such as pumps, valves and hydraulic cylinder, need more careful maintenance than the
band brake.
The key point to maintenance of the disc brake is laid on the hydraulic loop and braking
caliper’s oil cylinders.
Frequent checks of oil level and in-time oil refilling are necessary. When the oil
level in the system is below the lowest level, negative factors such as
temperature rising and non-soluble air accumulation may occur. Air pockets
may cause pump failure; exposed electrical heater may cause local temperature
rising, resulting in decomposition and deterioration of oil, and consequently
leading system failure.
Lowered oil level indicates oil penetration and leakage. To remove them, in-
time check and maintenance are necessary.
Revision 0 Page 15
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
High temperatures can accelerate the aging of oil and reduce service life of seals
and hoses. Oil temperature of the oil tank must be frequently checked and
monitored. Rising temperatures may indicate contamination and formation of
colloidal matter, or damage of the plunger pump. Sudden oil temperature rising
is an alarming signal, and immediate shut down and check is absolutely
necessary.
4.3.6. Accumulators
The over winding valve should be checked frequently to guarantee its reliability.
Particularly in winter, the compressed air may contain moisture which may
freeze in the air pipe due to cold weather. Frozen ice may cause blockage in the
air pipes, which may result in failure of the colliding prevention function. Give
one trial operation of the colliding preventing system every day to guarantee
normal work.

LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
At the shift relief, check the thickness of the brake pads and the sealing
performance of the oil cylinder. With the wearing of the brake pads (wearing on
one side 1-1.5mm), pulling force of the tension spring should be adjusted so that
the brake pads can return back when released and the clearance is not too big.
When the brake pad is worn to only 12mm thick, it must be replaced.
Check the released brake clearance frequently (at least once a week), the
thickness of the brake pads and the sealing performance of the oil cylinder. If
the clearance between the friction disc and the brake pad is >1mm, the braking
clearance must be adjusted to about 0.5mm. After application of emergency
brake operation, the released brake clearance also should be checked. When the
thickness of the brake pad is worn to only 12mm, it must be replaced.
CAUTION: Adjust the braking clearance of the safety calipers, otherwise failure of
emergency brake and parking brake may occur.
CAUTION: To guarantee the reliability of the safety caliper, replace the disc spring
group every 12 months.

LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
4.3.12. Key points for check and maintenance for the friction discs include the
following:
Oil, Dirt: The working surface of the friction disc should be free of oil whether
stuck or splashed thereto to avoid reduction of friction coefficient,
consequently braking force. Lubricant on the wire rope sometimes
may be splashed to the working surface of the friction disc due to
rotating of the drum; therefore frequent checks and cleaning is
necessary.

There are two (2) electrical driven pumps for the gear box lubrication system. Only
one pump is needed for normal operation.
4.4.1. Check the dipstick of the oil reservoir to verify there is enough oil in the
reservoir.
Turn on one lubrication pump.
The oil should circulate from the pump to the oil filter, to the gearbox, and back
to the tank.
The capacity of the oil reservoir is approximately 229 gallons.
A dipstick in the tank is used to check the oil level. The dipstick is approx. 11
inches long.
If there is less than 4 inches of oil shown on the stick, then oil needs to be added.
At least 115 gallons of oil are needed.
Revision 0 Page 20
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
4.4.2. The lubrication system operating ambient temperature range is -30°C to 55°C.
If the pump starts when ambient temperature is lower than 0°C the lubricating
oil must be preheated to about 10°C, and the outside pipeline should be
protected for heat preservation.
4.4.3. Frequently inspect the oil flow quantity, and check the oil level in the reservoir
with the dipstick during operation. When the pump is not running, replace and
add lubricating oil as needed.
4.4.4. After the gearbox is put into use for the first time, and after the first 600 duty
hours or approximately three months of time passage (whichever comes first)
the lubricating oil must be replaced. The lubricating oil should be bled off
before the lubricating oil becomes cool.
4.4.5. Hereafter the lubricating oil should be replaced when the gearbox’s normal
working time surpasses 5,000 hours. This is also affected by the working
environment: ambient temperature and operating temperature of lubricating oil.
High temperature conditions can shorten the replacement schedule of the
lubricating oil.
4.4.6. When lubricating oil is replaced, the new lubricating oil should be the same
grade as the lubricating oil that was used before. It is not recommended to use
oil of a different grade or produced by another factory. Do not mix or combine
different types of lubricating oil.
The inlet temperature of the lubricating oil in the gearbox should stay within
15°C to 43°C, and the outlet temperature of the lubricating oil should be less
than 70°C. If the lubrication oil temperatures reach 85°C the gearbox should be
shutdown and checked, and the cause should be corrected immediately.
The filter should be cleaned after the gearbox works 12 hours for the first initial
running time. Later it should be cleaned once a week and the user may decide
the cleaning schedule according to the operating conditions.
Revision 0 Page 21
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
The gearbox should be started and run for a period of time once a month. The
lubrication procedure should be followed before the gearbox works.
The air filter must be cleaned at least once every three months.
The operation of the AC motors is controlled from the driller’s cabin through VFD
control. The program must be set so that the blower runs before motor operation and
the blower cannot be closed until the motor stops running.
For maintenance of the AC motor, the frame must be grounded safely and reliably.
Stator winding connection method is star connection from neutral point to terminal box,
as marked by N.
Four terminals inside the box are marked with U, V, W, and N from right to the left
respectively. Terminals are covered with a protection cover, which prevents terminals
from losing insulation. Double protection nets are set in exhaust cover so that any
sudden heat can be dissipated through air cooling.
Periodically check and ensure there is no block on the protection net.
4.5.1. Bearings
The motor bearings are not equipped with oil cups. In normal working
conditions, no grease needs to be added during three years. After the three years
have expired, disassemble the motor to clean, examine and replace its lubricant.
4.5.2. Fastening
Revision 0 Page 22
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
Check all motor screws for looseness and fasten them if necessary. It is
recommended to check for looseness after every maintenance job.
Because the working environment of the motor is poor, both its interior and
exterior surfaces may be covered with dirt or fouling, which may influence the
motor’s ventilation, and may result in dampness. Therefore, it is recommended
to blow clean its interior and exterior surface with compressed air of 0.6 mPa
after every maintenance job. To blow clean the motor’s interior surface take off
the motor exhaust cover.
The drawworks motors are aligned at the factory, but handling or setting on an
unleveled substructure may change the alignment. If abnormal noise or
vibration is noted in the drawworks, the alignment must be checked. The
procedure is as follows:
4.5.4.1. Drain the gear oil from the couplings. Remove bolts form the
coupling sleeve flanges and slide the sleeves back far enough to
expose the coupling hubs. Clean the gear oil from the ends of the hubs,
and from the space between the hubs. Measure the gap between the
two hubs. This should be 5/16” +/- 1/32.
4.5.4.2. Check the parallel offset misalignment with a straight edge across the
hub diameters at four points 90 degrees apart. Use a feeler gauge to
measure the gap from a straight edge to the other hub. Maximum
allowable offset misalignment is .015” also note coupling alignment
procedure supplied with operations manual.
4.5.4.3. If measurements are not within tolerances, loosen bolts in motor
support and reposition as necessary.
4.5.4.4. Refill coupling with gear oil. See Maintenance of Couplings section.
Revision 0 Page 23
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
The two self aligning roller bearings on both sides of the main drum assembly
are lubricated with grease. The grease fitting port is connected with the bearing
with hydraulic tubing and fittings that extend through the frame wall outside the
guard. These grease fittings are grouped together and located for easy visibility
and access. Grease these fittings on a daily basis at the tower change. The
amount of grease to be used on a daily basis is based upon the bearing
consumption during the day. The discharged grease from the bearing box will
flow out and below the drawworks into the drip pan system for collection.
Refer to the drawing and lubricate the drawworks using approximately four to
six strokes of the grease gun at each point indicated.
Couplings for AC Motors and Drum Shaft – The forged steel, full flex
couplings should be greased once a month. Use a gear oil SAE 140, or AGMA
#8, or heavier oil. Oil capacity 1 ½ pints. Remove two lube plugs 180 deg.
Apart. Position the coupling so one hole is 45 deg above horizontal. Apply the
grease in this hole until the excess starts to flow out the lowering opening.
Before replacing the lube plugs, make sure that the copper ring gaskets are in
position and undamaged. Tighten plugs. The use of excessive amounts of grease
will not impair the operation of the coupling. The excess grease will be thrown
from the coupling during the operation.
To prevent a hub from slipping, it should have at least 75% fit on the shaft, i.e.
at least 75% of the tapered bore of the hub in contact with the tapered fit on the
shaft. Before mounting a hub, check and correct the fit as follows:
4.6.2.1. Lightly cover bore of the hub with bluing compound such as Prussian
blue.
4.6.2.2. Snap cold hub on shaft.
4.6.2.3. Mark relative position of hub on shaft with chalk.
4.6.2.4. Remove hub from shaft.
4.6.2.5. Inspect taper fit of shaft; bluing of the hub bore should now show on
shaft. If at least 75% of the shaft surface shows trace of bluing, the fit
is satisfactory. If, however, only a few spots of bluing show on the
shaft, the fit is insufficient.
Revision 0 Page 24
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks Manual
4.6.2.6. Dress down the blue spots on shaft very lightly, using fine emery cloth.
4.6.2.7. Blue the hub bore again as in Step 1 and repeat Steps 2, 4, 5 and 6. Be
careful to place hub on the shaft in the same position as indicated by
chalk marks.
The above procedures may have to be repeated several times until at least 75%
fit is obtained. Lapping compounds should not be used under any circumstances,
since lapping will produce a shoulder at the large end of the tapered fit. This
shoulder will prevent a perfect fit when the hub is hot-mounted; i.e. when it is
mounted in the advanced position.
After a good fit has been obtained, thoroughly clean the shaft and hub to remove
all bluing, oil or grease.
The couplings between motor and gearbox, gearbox and drawworks are
crowned-teeth type. Follow these instructions during installation:
4.6.3.1. Check the coupling matching surface for any burr or oil strain before
assembling, and clean the anti-corrosion oil on the surface
4.6.3.2. Remove the connecting bolts of coupling and dismantle the coupling.
Sort the coupling parts.
4.6.3.3. Grease the connecting shafts
4.6.3.4. Heat the half coupling with key groove to 100 C in oil bath; heating
should be slow and uniform, and the temperature should not exceed
120 C.
4.6.3.5. Install the heated half coupling onto the shaft with slight tapping.
Install the ends plate to the end of shaft with bolts, and cool down the
installed coupling and shaft with oil or water at once. Do not install
the coupling by knocks.
4.6.3.6. Install the half couplings to input and output shafts of gear box and to
the main drum shaft in the same way by following steps 1 thru 5
4.6.3.7. Install the coupling to the motor shaft as per the relevant requirements
4.6.3.8. Align the motor shaft and gearbox shaft, then bolt the two couplings
half together
4.6.3.9. Align the drum shaft and gear box output shaft, then bolt the two
couplings half together
After the installation, the gear box shaft should rotate manually without any
noise.

When removing a gear coupling hub, use a suitable hydraulic puller employing
the float method of removal. Do not heat the hub before pulling it, and do not use
steel wedges between the hub and bearing cap.
4.6.4.1. Remove the set screw plug from the tapped hole in the end of the shaft.
4.6.4.2. Screw the packing plate, with the felt ring in place, to the end of the
shaft as tightly as possible by hand. Back off the backing plate to line up
the slot with tapped hole in the end of the shaft. This is to provide
sufficient clearance for the hub to pop off.
4.6.4.3. Screw the pressure filling adapter into the hole in the shaft until it seats
at the bottom.
4.6.4.4. Attach the pump by screwing the connector on one end of the pressure
tube into the adapter, and the other end into the pump.
4.6.4.5. Close the relief valve and work pump the oil with handle into the groove
of the armature shaft under the hub. When sufficient pressure has been
built up, the hub will “pop off” the shaft and be stopped by the felt
washer and backing plate.
4.6.4.6. Open the relief valve, disconnect the pump from adapter, remove the
adapter and backing plate from shaft, and lift off the hub. Reinsert the
plug to prevent clogging of the hole.

with one friction disc,which is mounted on one end of the draw works drum.
According to structures, friction discs are classified into three types: water cooling, air
cooling and solid discs.
The water-cooling disc has cooling water channels inside, and it has water inlet and
outlet ports at the inner diameter of the friction disc, and water draining port at the
outer diameter for draining all water in channels to prevent the friction disc from
being frozen and broken in cold weather. During normal operation, the water draining
port is sealed with a screw plug. When the braking system is working, cooling
circulation water is fed to the friction disc to balance the heat produced by friction of
the brake pair.
The air-cooling disc internally has natural ventilation channels to discharge heat
through natural ventilation channels and surface.
The solid disc discharges heat through the surface. Such type of friction disc is
mainly used for smaller drilling rigs.
CAUTION
For water cooled brake discs: to avoid cracking of the disc due to icing, when the
equipment is not operational during cold temperatures, the cooling water inside the
disc must be completely drained.

CAUTION
The brake disc and caliper must be installed strictly in accordance with the descriptions,
otherwise, eccentric wear of brake block and brake disc will occur, which may result in the
non function of control, property damage, personal injury or death.

5.3. Pull down the emergency button,push the handle of parking brake to “parking”
position, safety caliper should brake rapidly; push the handle of parking brake to “loosen”
position, safety caliper should release rapidly.
5.4. Push down the emergency button, the service and safety caliper brake at the same time,
pull out the emergency button, the service and safety caliper release at the same time.
5.5. Air Bleeding: pull the handle of brake valve ,when the pressure of service caliper get
0.5Mpa, unscrew the air bleeding screw a little on the cylinder of the service calipers until
there is no foam in the discharged oil. Bleed air in the cylinders of service caliper this way
one by one.
5.6. Contacting friction with braking block for the working caliper. In the low-speed
operation of the winch, pull the braking crank slowly for contact of the braking block and the
braking disc. Repeat it several times. It can be used only when the contacting run-in area of
the new braking block and the braking disc has reached more 75%. When contacting friction
is being made, pay attention to the braking oil pressure and the running-in is usually made at
about 2MPa.
Revision 0 Page 12
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks User Brakes Manual
5.7. Fitting and Running-in of Brake pads of Safety Calipers. When pressure occurs in the
safety calipers, loosen the lock nut, turn the adjusting nut, Slowing contact the braking block
of safety caliper and the braking disc, then start the drum. Repeat the process again and again
until should be repeated until the contact area of the new brake pads reaches 75% of the
whole area, when it can be put into operation.
CAUTION
In the running-in process, if the temperature of braking disc is too high (over 240oC), the
running-in should be stopped and be started again when the temperature of braking disc
has decreased.
5.8. Adjustment of the Service calipers Clearance can be adjusted by means of the nuts at
the two ends of the spring. Clockwise turn is for tightening while counterclockwise turn for
loosing. The smaller the clearance is, the shorter the responding time will take for braking.
5.9. Adjust the Braking Clearance of the Safety Calipers. When the hydraulic unit is
working,pull down the brake handle to make the service caliper dead lock. You must not
loosen the handle during the clearance adjusting. When there is pressure in the safety calipers,
loosen the lock nut of safety caliper by special tool, turn the adjusting nut to make the safety
caliper’s brake pads fit completely with the friction disc, then turn the adjusting nut
counterclockwise about 2-3 regulation orifices (now the clearance between the friction disc
and brake pad is about 0.5mm), finally tighten the lock nut. The clearance between brake pad
and disc should be as small as possible.
CAUTION
If it is necessary to adjust the clearance of working caliper and safety caliper in drilling
state, the traveling block must be placed at lower dead center position. For safety’s
concern, during the adjustment, the clearance of safety caliper should be first adjusted
and then that of working caliper.
Revision 0 Page 13
LM 770 Saipem 5964 Drawworks User Brakes Manual
5.10. Check over winding and crown block collision prevention devices.
5.11. On completion of on-site installation and adjustment, run the oil pumps for 1030
minutes and repeatedly operate the “braking handle” before its normal operation. Now check
for correct oil level and oil loops, particularly, the level in the oil tank should be maintained
at the middle between highest and lowest levels.
5.12. The machine can not be put into operation until everything is OK.
CAUTION
The braking force of safety caliper is attenuated in a parabolic function with the
increase of clearance between the braking block and the braking disc. If the clearance
is too big, the braking force will decrease abruptly and even be lost. It is required that
the maximum clearance for one side of safety caliper should not exceed 0.5mm;
otherwise, accidents may occur from lack of braking capacity during handling of the
drilling string.
If the hydraulic station is started while the clearance of braking caliper is being
adjusted, someone must be in the drilling room to monitor.

6. Maintenance
The key point of maintenance of the disc brake is the hydraulic loop and braking caliper’s oil
cylinders. Items mentioned below and listed in the maintenance plan need routine maintenance.
6.1. Service Calipers
At the shift relief, check the thickness of the brake pads and the sealing performance of the
oil cylinder. With the wearing of the brake pads (wearing on one side 11.5mm), pulling
force of the tension spring should be adjusted so that the brake pads can return back when
released and the clearance is not too big. When the brake pad is worn to only 12mm thick, it
must be replaced.
6.2. Safety Calipers
Check and adjust the released brake clearance frequently (at least once a week), the thickness
of the brake pads and the sealing performance of the oil cylinder. If the clearance between
the friction disc and the brake pad is more than 1mm, the braking clearance must be adjusted
to about 0.5mm. After application of emergency brake operation, the released brake
clearance should be adjusted again. When the thickness of the brake pad is worn to only
12mm, it must be replaced.
CAUTION
Adjust the braking clearance of the safety calipers in time, otherwise failure of
emergency brake and parking brake may be caused. To guarantee the reliability of the
safety caliper, replace the disc spring group once every 12 mouths at least.

Check welded elements, particularly; the caliper frames and caliper bodies, to see
whether there are cracks and corrosion problems in the welds thereof. If necessary, repair
or change any of them. These elements and component should be checked at least once
every half a year.
Check moving parts to see whether there is sticking, particularly, in places like
the pin shaft of the lever. Deposit of braking dust may cause poor lubrication. So

The lubrication system includes the following: pump and electrical motor, oil filter, lubricating
oil preheating element, oil-pressure gauge and thermometer. The lubricating oil uses the heavy
duty industry gear oil. Before assembly each component must be cleaned.
The bearing inner loop must abut the end surface of the axial step. The axial clearance of the
high-speed shaft bearing is 0.06-0.12mm.
Gear meshing smallest normal direction lateral clearance: the first level of transmission is 0.28
mm; the second level is 0.32 mm.
Contact area of the gear-pair meshing: not smaller than 85% along the tooth length direction, and
not smaller than 70% along the tooth depth direction.
The gear and the bearing use lubrication oil to cool, trademark is heavy load industry gear oil L-
CKD220. The oil pressure is 0.2-0.3 MPa, oil discharge is 100 l/min.
During idling test run the rotational speed range is 661-2300 rpm. All shafts should rotate at
uniform speed. The couplings may displace but should not come into contact so as to extrude
the seals or leak oil.
The high speed shaft should reach transient equilibrium; the transient equilibrium precision is
G1.6
The gearbox primer uses the epoxy rich zinc primer, the finish uses the splendid diluted acid to
gather the amine fat to finish, and the color is a pale bluish.

2. Transportation
After all of the performance tests are completed at the factory the gearbox is carefully sealed.
The gearbox may be transported by truck, train, or boat, and it generally does not have to be
packed. If necessary, use the bolt to fix the gearbox onto a wooden pallet. Accessories such as
electric gauges should be packed separately. When transporting the gearbox by boat, a rust
inhibitor must be applied to the machined finished surfaces. The proper coatings or preventative
measures should be taken for the remainder of the shipping.
When hoisting the entire machine, lift with the hoisting hole or hoisting hook located on the
bottom housing. Do not lift with either device located on the upper housing. (They are used to
assemble the upper housing portion).
The lubrication system is to be disassembled for shipping and the ports are to be plugged to
prevent foreign matter from entering the unit.
Do not ship the gearbox with lubricating oil in the gear case.
The shaft and the coupling shaft hole must be clean before installation. Remove the rust-
preventer or any rust stain and burrs on the surface of the shafts and couplings. To assemble the
coupling on the shaft of the gearbox, use the heat shrink method.
Do not hammer the coupling onto the shaft; this will do permanent damage to the shaft of the
gearbox. The alignment of the two halves of the coupling must be kept ± 0.1mm.
4. Installation of Gearbox
Check carefully whether anything becomes damaged or loose while moving the gearbox. It
should be attached correctly and firmly to the specified frame and base. It is connected to the
motor by a crowned teeth coupling.
Lubricate the hole of the coupling and gearbox shaft with grease before installing the coupling,
and press coupling in with bolt and its screw. Slight shaking is permitted when pushing the
coupling in order to decrease friction. If the coupling is installed by heating the temperature
should not exceed 120°C. After the coupling is installed, it should be cooled by oil or water. It is
not proper to install the coupling by tapping.
Installation tolerance of gearbox should not be more than the specified tolerance of coupling
(allowable rotary angle is 1.5°, radial permitted compensation is 50um, coupling screw pre-
tightening torque is 470NM).After the gearbox is installed and regulated well, connect bolt and
base firmly.
Input shaft driven at the hand wheel should be flexible, and no jamming should occur.
Bearing gaps and gears have been adjusted before delivery; do not adjust unless something is
damaged or loose.

5. Test Run
5.1. Before each test run, fastening devices must be inspected to make sure all of them are
securely fastened. To meet the specifications before the test run, the cooler, oil filter, the oil-
pressure gauge and the flow-meter must be intact.
5.2. The lubricating oil should be of sufficient industrial quality. There should be more than
approx. 115 gallons of oil in the oil tank for normal operation.
5.3. Start the lubrication system, inspect the oil-pressure, and monitor the appliance and oil
circuits to make sure all of them are working properly. Also be sure that every lubrication
place has adequate amount of oil. The oil pressure should be less than 50 psi.
6. Maintenance
The operating ambient temperature range is -30°C to 55°C. If the gearbox starts when ambient
temperature is lower than 0°C the lubricating oil must be preheated to about 10°C, and at the
same time the outside pipeline should be carried on dredges for heat preservation. Frequently
inspect the oil flow quantity, oil-pressure, and the oil reserves.
Replace and add lubricating oil when needed.
After the gearbox is put into use for the first time and after the first 300 - 600 duty hours in use
or approximately three months of time passage (whichever comes first) the lubricating oil must
be replaced. The lubricating oil is to be bled off as soon as gearbox stops revolving and before
the lubricating oil becomes cool.
Hereafter the lubricating oil should be replaced when the gearbox’s normal working time
surpasses 5,000 hours. This is mainly decided by the working environment, and when the
ambient temperature or the operating temperature of lubricating oil is high. This can make the
replacement schedule of the lubricating oil shorter.
When lubricating oil is replaced, the new lubricating oil should be the same grade as the
lubricating oil that was used before. It is not recommended to use oil of a different grade or
produced by another factory. Do not mix or combine different types of lubricating oil.
The drum shape tooth shaft coupling uses the grease lubricant and already contains enough
lubricant when assembled. The lubricant should be replaced every two months after the gearbox
is put into use. When in repair, one should replace the lubricant by spreading enough lubricant
over the drum shape tooth. Lubricant should be poured into the cavity in an amount equal to
approximately 60 to 70 percent of the cavity’s volume.
With seasons changing, the temperature of the lubricating oil in the gearbox should stay between
15°C to 43°C, and the temperature of the lubricating oil which streams out of the gearbox
≤70°C. If the lubrication oil temperatures reach 85°C the gearbox should be shutdown and
checked, and the cause should be corrected immediately.
Monitor the cycle noise and vibrations. The gearbox should be shutdown and inspected if any
unusual sudden changes occur. The cycle problems should be eliminated immediately.
The gearbox temperature, noise, and vibrations should be monitored closely, and when changes
appear suddenly, actions need to be taken.
The filter should be cleaned after the gearbox works 12 hours for the first initial running time.
Later it should be cleaned once a week and the user may decide the cleaning schedule according
to the special details.
Revision 0 Page 5
Saipem 5964 Drawworks Gearbox Operation and Maintenance
The gearbox should be started and ran for a period of time once a month. The lubrication
procedure should be followed before the gearbox works.
The air filter must be cleaned at least once every three months.
7. Troubleshooting
Revision 0 Page 6
Saipem 5964 Drawworks Gearbox Operation and Maintenance
Replacement of the consumable parts or damaged parts during overhauling and reassembling of
the gearbox should be carried on according to the manufacturer specifications.
Removal of the top cover requires that the covers on the two holes used for observation be
removed. These covers are found over the top cover and are attached with dismountable
junctions located at the start of a pipeline. If they are opened forcefully, the pipeline may be
damaged (see A in chart below).
9.1. Application
The lubricating device is an oil recycling lubricating system that provides lubricant for the
moving parts (gears) inside the gearbox. It also removes heat from the moving parts to
facilitate normal operation of the machinery and to increase the service life. Features
The system consist of two sets of gear pumps, two sets of dual bucket mesh filter, air filters,
various valves (safety valve, check valve and ball valve etc.), and pipelines. All of the parts
are installed on gearbox and oil tank; so it can be hoist and transported as a whole.
9.1.1. Oil Pumps Installation: The safety valve, check valve and air filter are all installed
on the oil pump unit.
9.1.2. Oil Filter: This unit adopts dual bucket mesh filter, precision is 0.08 mm, when one
filter works, and another is for backup. When the working filter net is jammed by
filth, and the pressure differential increases to the rated value, switch the reversing
valve so the backup valve works. Then clean the filthy filter net, and reinstall it into
the bucket.
9.1.3. Heating System: There are three (3) explosion proof electrical heaters installed in
the oil tank. Each heater power is 1 KW, total 3 KW fixed on the front plate of tank.
9.1.4. All the gauges and pressure transmitters are installed on pipeline.
9.1.5. A thermo coupler (Pt100) is installed on the oil tank, and can be read and auto
controlled.

I. Summarize
Heatless regenerated desiccant dryer is an adsorptive purifying device. The
purpose is to remove the water in the air through the principle of adsorption and
purifying.
The heatless regenerative dryer utilizes the porous-surface desiccant
selectable feature absorbing the water in the air into the cavity of the desiccant to
dry the air. When the desiccant will reach the saturation after using for a certain time,
it has to be regenerated by the dry air to restore its adsorptive capability. The
desiccant can be reuse through adsorption and regeneration so as to working
constantly and safely.
Heatless regenerative dryer adopts the technique of PSA heatless regenerative,
it just utilizes the different adsorption capacity of the desiccant under the different
pressure to absorb under the work pressure and regenerate when approach to
normal pressure. Through short cycle switch, and to adsorption, regenerate between
the two absorbers, then to achieve regeneration with no heat, ensure continuously
absorbing operation.
Heatless regenerative dryer is mainly made up of following components: two
alternative absorbers, one muffle, one set of switch valve, one set of controlling
system and gas processing unit.

3. Hydraulic Oil Pumps
Two axial variable displacement piston pumps are driven respectively by diesel engine
and electric motor.
Two control types:
Load-sensing control is used for the raising of the mast and substructure. The pump load
port LS is connected to the LS port of the proportional multi-section valve bank. The
load pressure controls the pump displacement. During idle operation of the hydraulic
system, LS signal feedback pressure adjusts the swash plate of variable pump to the
minimum tilt angle allowing the pump to maintain required pressure during this
operating mode using the by-pass valve.
Pressure compensation control is adopted for operating the BOP equipment. The pump
load port LS is connected to P port of pump pressure output. Pressure compensation
control operates in the same manner as load sensing control by using the by-pass valve to
maintain constant pressure.
4. Valve Bank
The valve bank is integrated with overflow valve, manual directional valve,
high-pressure check valve, pressure sensor, and LS check valve. The valve bank is
equipped with a port to allow connection of a pressure gauge to measure pump system
pressure.
Manual operated change-over directional valve selection between A or B oil ports:

chiller motor is activated when oil temperature is higher than 50deg C. If oil
temperature exceeds 70deg C the temperature sensor will shut down the
motor/engine. The temperature sensor activates the high temperature alarm and
send signal to remote controller. . The minimum/maximum temperature levels are
adjustable depending on owner’s requirements and oil used.
Level Sensor: Installed on the top cover of the oil reservoir. The level sensor
provides two level detections; one for motor/engine shut-down and one for warning
alarm. When hydraulic oil level reaches the warning level, the level sensor sends a
warning signal which prompts low oil level. When the oil reaches the shutdown
level, the pump motor/engine power is cut off automatically for emergency stop.
Warning level: 900 mm (from top cover of oil reservoir to oil surface)
Shutdown level: 1000 mm (from top cover of oil reservoir to oil surface)
Air Filter: Installed on the top cover of the oil reservoir. The air filter maintains
the passage of environmental air into the oil reservoir and is equipped with a screen
to guarantee the cleanliness of the air. When removed, the air filter is also the fill
point for the oil reservoir.
Oil Return Filter: Installed on the top cover of the oil reservoir. The oil return
filter head extends out of the oil reservoir and return pipe into the reservoir. A
check valve provides convenience for cleaning and filter core replacement. Oil
by-pass valves and filter core pollution indicators are provided to enhance the
reliability of the hydraulic system.
Pressure Gauges: There are two pressure gauges installed on the top cover of the oil
reservoir to display the pressure output of the diesel engine and electric motor
pumps respectively.
Suction Filters: Installed on the engine side of the oil reservoir. The suction filter
head extends out of the oil reservoir and the suction pipe into the reservoir and is
equipped with check valves to provide convenience for cleaning and filter
replacement. The suction filters may be removed during repair of the hydraulic
11
LM770 Saipem Rig 5964 HPU Operation Manual
system to prevent hydraulic oil from draining out of the reservoir oil by-pass valves
and filter core pollution indicators to enhance the reliability of the hydraulic system.
Heater: Installed on the engine side of the oil reservoir. Mounted with tubular
structure and is used during cold weather operation.
Oil Drain Ball Valve: Installed on the lower area of the rear side panel of the oil
reservoir and is used to drain fluid from the oil reservoir.
Cleaning Cover: One cleaning cover is installed respectively on each side of the oil
reservoir and may be opened for cleaning of the tank interior during maintenance
intervals. Internal reservoir cleaning should be done at least every 6 months to
insure the reliability of the system.
6. Chiller:
The chiller consists of a high performance radiator, low noise tube axial fan and
explosion-proof motor installed on the return side of the system. The fan motor starts
automatically when the oil temperature reaches 50deg C. The chiller is equipped with a
bypass circuit with pressure valve. If system pressure exceeds 0.15MPa (21PSI), the
12
LM770 Saipem Rig 5964 HPU Operation Manual
pressure valve will open the bypass circuit. The bypass valve connects the choke valve in
series, adjusting the return’s flow.

1. Introduction
The control system for LM770-AC Drilling Rig is an advanced system able to
meet and exceed the challenging needs of the oilfield industry and our customer.
The Drill crew has full control of the drilling related machinery. The drilling and
the various processes are monitored by on-screen instrumentation, and aided by
integrated live feed from CCTV-cameras (installed in key areas of the rig), also a gas
detection system monitoring the levels of LEL and H2S at well and shakers are provided.
The rig is powered by 4 engine/generator systems; each comes with an 1101KW engine
and an1500 KVA/600VAC/60Hz generator. The maximum output of each
engine/generator set is 950KW.
The VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) system is designed to provide power and control to
the following loads:
- One Drawworks, 1500HP, driven by two 1230HP AC motor.
- Three mud pumps, each driven by one 1500 HP AC motor.
- One Rotary Table, driven by one 1230HP AC motor.
- One Top Drive, driven by one 1000HP AC motor (which shares the same inverter for
the Rotary Table)
All the mud system pumps are powered by 460VAC tapped from the main 600VAC bus.
This manual describes the operation and control systems for Mud Pumps, Drawworks,
Rotary Table, built-in iron roughneck, rotary mouse hole, Cathead, HPU, and other rig
equipments. Mainly focus on the control from driller’s cabin HMI.
When any of them are activated, all the prime running generators will be shut down. The
rig electrical power will be cut off. Both drawworks service and safety disc brakes will
automatically engage in order to hold the load on the drill string.
3.1 Description
Most of the control operations are by means of the HMI (Human Machine Interface or
“touch screen”). There are 2 HMIs (Siemens MP377, 12”) located on the front left and
front right of the driller’s chair. Both are swing arm mounted and location adjustable. The
HMI touch screens are identical. Another HMI (Siemens MP370, 12”) is located inside
the VFD house on the PLC cabinet. This HMI it mainly work as rig system monitor with
less control functions. For more detail about the HMI please refer to the Siemens MP
serial manual for more information.
Bellow will focus on the description of the driller’s cabin HMI operation.
On the bottom left corner of each screen there is a Menu button. Pressing the button will
pop up a menu list on the left side of the screens to allow the operator to select the screen
he wants to access. To access a given screen, simply touch the associated button. Touch
the Menu button will cancel the pop up list. The menu list on One Line screen is a little
different than the other screens.
The actual pop up menu list may little differ as it does not includes the icon for the
current displayed screen. For same sub screens like Calibration and Load Control they
just have easy menu and exit icon to go to One Line screen only.
The Load Control and Calibration screens are password protected, only authorized person
can access.
Clean screen is for clean the screen only, without any monitor and control functions.
This Logical Control (one line) screen shows the MP, DW, RT and TD running status, as
well as their auxiliary equipment status. With this diagram each VFD motor running
status can be easily diagnosed.
This MCC screen shows status of all rig motors (pumps), including the remote start &
stop for HPU, disk brake pumps and trip tank pumps.
This Drill/MP screen is similar to the previous one, without the DW and travel block
control with some mud pump parameters added. They are mud pump motor currents,
mud pump speeds (SPM)
Rotary table and top drive share same VFD drive. Only one motor can be powered by the
drive, either rotary table or top drive.
Rotary Table screen provides the selection between top drive and rotary table as well as
provides the rotary table control.

This Mud Level screen displays the mud levels for monitored tanks. Actual mud level is
shown with graphic bar and digital number. The height graphic bar will change to yellow
color when the tank is over filled.
The above Calibration screen provides the access for pressure sensors, level sensors and
travel block height calibration. In case the sensor is not accurate or different range sensor
is used / retrofitted you can calibrate the sensors.
In case of HPU or disk brake pressure sensors failure the “BYPASS” may be used to
temporary bypass the control, to release the drawworks brake. (Warning: This action
can only be taken during emergency situation, not for normal operation!!!)
At the top there are 4 sensor calibration fields for disk brake sensors. To calibrate them
just input the sensor psi reading (sensor arrange, marked on sensor) to the sensor field.
Incase it is not accurate you can modify the input for correction.
The middle screens there are 10 mud level sensor calibration field. To calibrate there
sensors, you put sensor target on the bottom of the tank, copy the current reading to the
low field. Then you set sensor target on the maximum height (liquid surface or a plate,
2.3 meters for tank1 and 2, 2.7 meters for other tanks) and copy the current reading to the
high field.
For the Auxiliary Sensor calibration (Stand Pipe, Tong Torque, Travel Block, Air and
HPU pressure sensors), calibration procedures are same as disk brake pressure sensors,
just copy the sensor arrange psi reading to the sensor calibration input field.
The last calibration is for travel block height. Follow below calibration procedure for the
calibration; this must be recalibrated each time the drawworks is reeved:

Beside the alarm and warning messages, the icon color on each screen also prompts the
equipment status.
Some independent equipment (not PLC controlled)has no alarm and warning message
displayed on the HMI screen.
TD has its own alarm and warning messages on the TD HMI screen.
Cathead, Rotary Mouse Hole, Gai-Tronics, and CCTV are not rig PLC related; please
refer to the manual for troubleshooting.
The drawworks and Disk Brake system is controlled by driller’s cabin PLC, the operation
control and the monitoring is located in the touch screens.
The brake system consists of 1 pairs of safety calipers (on the bottom) and 2 pair of
service calipers (on the top). The emergency braking will close both service and safety
calipers. The parking braking will close the safety calipers. Pulling the disk brake
joystick will activate the service calipers. The service brake force applied is proportional
to the disk brake joy stick pulling angle. More angle you pull the joystick more pressure
is applied to the calipers.
Go to MCC Screen and press one of disk brake HPU Start icon (or Auto icon) to start one
of disk brake pump. For LM770 there are 2 disk brake pumps, it is a redundant design.

4.6.1 Description
The auto driller sets user adjustable parameters to allow controlled drilling. The LM770
rigs have 3 parameters or "Autodrill functions" for Autodrill control. They are:
WOB is to control the weight on the drill bit by means of a weight indicator sensor. The
user inputs the amount of weight desired on the drill bit or what he wants the weight
indicator to read with the desired weight on the drill bit. The program will feed line off of
the Drawworks drum to maintain the desired weight.
ROP controls the rate of penetration or how fast you drill using input from the
Drawworks encoder. The user inputs the desired rate of penetration and the program
should feed line off of the Drawworks drum as needed to drill at the desired rate.
Delta P controls the mud pump pressure when drilling with a downhole mud motor. A
downhole motor is driven off of the mud pumps. The pump pressure rises with the
amount of torque on the motor. The user would input a pre-determined pump pressure
00372-OMN-0004_0 LM 770 Driller’s Control Manual Page 30 of 48
LM 770/Saipem 5964 Driller’s Control Manual
value and the program will feed line off of the drawworks drum to add weight on the bit
increasing the motor torque and increasing the pump pressure.
These three drilling parameters can/should be used together in combination to set desired
limits.
Getting the system ready for the Autodrill is the same as getting it ready for manual
drilling. Once the mud pumps are set to the correct pressure, the top drive is turning the
drill string, and the bit is off bottom, the Autodrill can be turned on.
The Autodrill is designed to function with the joystick in the neutral position. If a hook
height calibration request is made by the system, emergency stop is pressed, the joystick
is moved, or then the Autodrill will revert to manual drilling. To restart the Autodrill,
simply use the switch on procedure below.
1. Once the driller is ready, select one of the Autodrill modes: Rate of Penetration
(ROP), Weight On Bit (WOB), or differential pressure (delta P).
2. Set the limits on the touchscreen for ROP, WOB, and Delta P (if running in delta
P mode). NOTE: The ROP and WOB limits work for ALL MODES (ROP, WOB,
and delta P).
3. Zero WOB by pressing the ‘Zero WOB’ button on the touchscreen. If using delta
P, zero it by pressing the ‘Zero delta P’ button. This should be done with the bit
off bottom to get an accurate reading of the string weight. Note: The ‘Zero WOB’
and ‘Zero Delta P” buttons can be pressed again as needed, as long as the bit is
off-bottom.
4. On the main Autodrill screen, select ‘Auto’. The brakes will release, and the
system will automatically lower the drawworks, applying weight to the drill string.
ROP – The system will ramp up the ROP slowly, and will also watch the WOB setting. If
the WOB exceeds the setting, the system will stop feeding out, until the WOB drops
below the setting. If the off-bottom WOB reading is not zero, then press the ‘Zero WOB’
button while the bit is off bottom.
WOB – The system will ramp up the WOB slowly, and will also watch the ROP and
WOB settings. If the ROP exceeds the setting, the system will slow down feeding out,
until the ROP drops below the setting. If the WOB exceeds the setting, the system will
stop feeding out, until the WOB drops below the setting.
Delta P - The system will ramp up the delta P slowly, and will also watch the ROP, WOB,
and pressure settings. If the ROP exceeds the setting, the system will slow down feeding
00372-OMN-0004_0 LM 770 Driller’s Control Manual Page 31 of 48
LM 770/Saipem 5964 Driller’s Control Manual
out, until the ROP drops below the setting. If the pressure or WOB exceeds the setting,
the system will stop feeding out, until the pressure and/or the WOB drops below the
setting.
High-High and Low-Low Limits are programmed inside PLC and can only be changed
by “zero” position setting. High Limit and Low limit are user adjustable from the HMI.
DW will be forced to stop at High-High limit & Low-Low limit if the High & Low
limits are not set up properly.
High Limit is set up on HMI by Driller and it should be less than 106 feet. Block will
travel normally up to 5 feet below the set point. At 5 feet below the set point the PLC will
ramp down the Drawworks to creep speed. Driller may continue go up at creep speed to
the high limit set point. When the set point is reached, the Drawworks will stop. At this
point, the blocks can only be lowered.
Low limit is set up on HMI by Driller. It should be greater than 0 foot. Block will travel
normally down to 5 feet above the set point. At 5 feet above the set point the PLC will
ramp down the Drawworks to creep speed. Driller may continue down at creep speed to
the low limit set point. When the set point is reached, the Drawworks will stop. At this
point, the Drawworks can only be raised.
Caution must be used while changing the High and/or Low Limit value that runs
the travel block, as not to collide with the floor or crown!
Resume The Low Limit and Low-Low Limit can be disabled by the Resume button. The
PB is located in the lower middle area of the Drill / DW touch screen. Press Resume
(change color to green) will by-pass the Low Limit and Low-Low Limit, lets travelling
block go pass the Low Limit and Low-Low Limit. Press Resume again will cancel the
resume function (change color back to black) and prohibit travelling block moving down.
Moving travelling block up and pass the Low-Low Limit will also cancel the Resume
(change back to black).
Caution must be used while using Override or Resume function, as not to collide
with the floor or crown!!!
Elevator Position Safety is PLC set protection. When Top Drive is in unsafe mode, the
travel limit is 65 feet above the floor as not to clash with racking board. When Top Drive
is in safe mode there is no limitation for it.
Mast upper proximity switch is installed on the upper mast about 115 feet height
(equivalent, elevator at 106 feet height). The switch will detect the traveling block as it
approaches the crown and will send a signal to stop the Drawworks. Also a warning
message displayed on the HMI. The driller can only lower the traveling block at this
point.
Maint.-Mode PB is located at the bottom of Drill/DW screen. With it you can by-pass
the Mast Upper Proximity switch. When raise the travelling block and flag this switch, it
will stop moving up and a message “Crown Save activated…” pops up. Press Maint-
Mode PB (change color to yellow) will allow you move travelling block up beyond this
point. Press this PB again will get you out of Maint Mode (change color back to black)
and prohibit going up.
Caution must be used while in maintenance mode not to collide with the crown!!!
Crown-O-Matic is a mechanical fail-safe device which will prevent the traveling block
from hitting the crown in case that the programmed limit switches and the Crown
Proximity Limit Switch fail. The toggle switch is set by the user to trip when a
predetermined amount of drilling line is spooled onto the drum. Normally this should be
00372-OMN-0004_0 LM 770 Driller’s Control Manual Page 33 of 48
LM 770/Saipem 5964 Driller’s Control Manual
when the traveling blocks passed the uppermost limit of travel in the mast, allowing some
margin of safety before colliding with the crown. The Crown-O-Matic is installed inside
the D.W. drum housing. It can also detect fouling of the drilling line on the D.W. drum.
When this toggle switch trips the rig control system will shut down the drawworks VFD,
and engage the disk brake safety as well as service calipers. (system set into disk brake E-
Stop condition).
Crown Saver By-Pass push button is located at middle of driller’s chair left armrest,
with it you can release the Crown-O-Matic trip condition, by below procedure:
A. Turn disk brake in “parking on” condition by means of Brake Parking switch
B. Press and hold the Crown Saver By-Pass push button
C. Start drawworks VFD and wait for the VFD start up
D. Pull working brake joystick, turn parking switch to “parking off” then release
the disk brake joystick (Release the parking condition)
E. Run drawworks down until out of trip condition
F. Release the Crown Saver By-Pass push button
G. Put Crown-O-Matic back to straight down.
Before releasing the Crown-O-Matic trip condition, a careful analysis must be taken
for causes of the trip of Crown-O-Matic.
Caution must be used while running travelling block when reset “0” height, as not
to collide with the floor or crown!!!
After completing special height operation, lower the travelling block and set correct
Low-Low limit immediately!!!
Torque Proving
When starting the Drawworks, the system will make sure that the Drawworks motor is
putting out enough torque to support the load, before releasing the service brake. A timer
is also started, in case of a problem. If the timer expires before the torque level is reached,
then the system will abort out of proving the torque, leaving the service brake set.
Restarting the Drawworks will reset the system and retry torque proving.
This is done by PLC the operator cannot intervention in this action.
Load Control
The Load Control is provided when scoping the mast and pulling the load to protect the
rig (refer to Load Control screen and description).
The default setting of Mast Scoping load is 120 Klbs and DW Pulling load is 650 Klbs.
When Load Control is activated for Mast Scoping or DW Pulling, overload the preset
load will cause system warning and stop the travel block. The driller can modify the
preset maximum load with the arrow icon, 1% for each arrow icon hitting and 10% for
00372-OMN-0004_0 LM 770 Driller’s Control Manual Page 34 of 48

maximum change. Default setting can be changed by adjusting the Maximum Load
display field.
Hook Load is shown on front counter Load Gauge also the drill screens
5.1 Description
There are 3 mud pump electrical systems, Mud Pump 1, Mud Pump 2 and Mud pump 3 .
Each mud pump system consists of a mud pump main motor, a blower motor, a
supercharger motor, a liner washer motor, and an oiler motor.
The Main motor is powered by mud pump VFD, which is powered by main DC bus. The
DC bus is powered by rectifier DSU1 and/or DSU2. The power supply of DSU1/2 is
600VAC.
All other motor are powered by 460 VAC.
All motor power cables are direct connected to VFD house via VM plug panels.
The blower motor comes with a fan air pressure detect switch installed in main motor
Junction box.
The liner washer motor comes with a wash pressure detect switch installed in pump outlet
line.
The oiler motor comes with an oil pressure detect switch installed in pump outlet line.
The blower motor, supercharger motor, liner washer motor, and the oiler motor can be
automatic or manual start/stop. To manually start these motors, go to the VFD house
MCC cabinet and close the related disconnect switches and turn the select switch to
manual position. For automatic start, close the related disconnect switches and turn the
select switch to auto position, then the motors can be automatic start from the driller’s
cabin HMI.
To get power to mud pump VFD, close the CB5 and/or CB6 to turn DSU1 and/or DSU2
on. Depends on what mud pump/s you want to run and which DSUs is/are running, you
may need to turn the OETL isolation switch on.
From MP1, 2 or 3 VFD cabinet(s) turns SW3, SW4 or SW5 to power MP VFD(s).
From the driller’s cabin HMI, go to “MP control” to get to the mud pump control panel.
Use “Start” and “Stop” icon to start and stop the mud pump.
When “start” is pressed, the blower, line washer, oiler and supercharger will be started
immediately. If in 10 seconds all air pressure, water pressure and oiler pressure are OK
and the supercharger is started (signal from supercharger soft starter) then the mud pump
will start; if not then an alarm will appear and the mud pump won’t be started. During the
When the mud pump starts, you can use the touch screen associate mud pump control
icons to control the mud pump speed, by direct speed input or by speed increase and
speed decrease icons. Also you can view the mud pump status from this screen, or stroke
meter at the front counter.
If the mud pump cannot be started, or mud pump failed after start up, the related prompt
message will show on the screen.
If any auxiliary fails during the pump running, a warning message will pop up. After the
predetermined time elapsed, the mud pump will shut down. For the shut down timer
setting please go to VFD touch screen and look at the Set Up screen.
Mud Pressure (or Stand Pipe mud pressure) is shown on the front counter Stand Pipe
pressure gauge as well as drill screens
The Main motor is powered by RT/TD VFD, which is powered by main DC bus. The DC
bus is powered by rectifier DSU1 and/or DSU2. The power supply of DSU1/2 is
600VAC.
The RT blower motor is powered by 460 VAC.
To get power to the RT/TD VFD, close the CB5 or/& CB6 to turn DSU1 or/& DSU2 on.
Depends on which DSU is running, you may need to turn the OETL isolation switch on.
From RT/TD VFD cabinet turn SW6 on to power RT/TD VFD.
From the driller’s cabin touch screen, press “RT control” to get to the RT control panel.
On the top of the left side control panel there are 2 select icons, left for RT and right for
TD. Make sure the RT is in green color that indicates RT is in use (RT and TD share the
same VFD drive). Or you need to press RT to make it active. Just bellow the select icons
is the RT torque control area, with this control panel you specify the % of maximum
torque, by direct torque input, or by torque increase and torque decrease icons.
Right control panel is for RT Start (Forward or Reverse), Stop and speed control. When
Forward or Reverse is pressed, the blower will turn on. If the air pressure is detected in
10 seconds then the RT will start; if not then an alarm will appear and the RT will not
start.
With the RT started, you can control the RT speed by direct speed input, or by speed
increase and speed decrease icons.
If the RT does not start, or RT failed after start, you can go to the logical screen to check
the logical interlock status. The Green sign shows a ready state and Yellow shows not
ready.
If any auxiliary fails during RT running, a warning message will pop up. After the preset
timer elapsed, the RT will shut down. For the shut down timer setting please go to VFD
touch screen and reach the Set Up screen.
There are 2 cathead cylinders installed on the mast legs. They are driven by HAWE
proportional valves, which in turn controlled by a HAWE amplifier. The controls are
proportional whereas the further from neutral the lever is positioned, the stronger the pull
of the tong. The operator uses the left and right levers on the chair right armrest to
operate these 2 catheads. Pulling for torque (pulling the tong) and push for release.
The make up cathead hydraulic line is installed with a pressure relief valve to prevent
over tight during the make up process.
Cathead control is independent with the rig electric control system, no associated with
PLC and HMI control except the pressure reading of make up torque.
Local Cathead manual control is by means of valve control levers from valve station.
Torque pressure is shown on the front counter Tong Torque gauge and drill screens.
The rotary mouse hole is driven by a HAWE proportional valve, which in turn controlled
by HAWE amplifier, with a control lever located on the chair left armrest. The control is
proportional whereas the further from neutral the lever is positioned, the faster the rotary
table running. Pulling the control lever to run the rotary table forward and pushing for
reverse.
Rotary mouse hole control is independent with the rig electric control system, not
associated with PLC and HMI control.
Local Mouse Hole manual control is by means of valve control levers from valve

Power System and Control
A.1 Description
There are 4 engine/generator sets. Each set consist of a CAT 3512B Engine with a
600VAC, 1950kVA, 60Hz, 0,7pf, 3 phase generator and a generator control cabinet that
is inside the VFD house. You can run any set of engine/generator (Engine1/generator1
with control cabinet Gen 1, Engine2/generator2 with control cabinet Gen 2,
Engine3/generator3 with control cabinet Gen 3, or Engine4/generator4 with control
cabinet Gen 4). If more power than one power set is required you can run more than one
power sets by any combination (set1, set2, set3, and/or set 4). See following Power
Supply Diagram for reference.
If you stop the switch at “1” you will fire the engine but will not bring the AC power to
main AC Bus when the generator built up the 600VAC/60HZ power supply. You can
turn from “1” to “2” later to close the CB1 to power up the Main AC Bus. If any other
engine(s) had been fired and the associated CB (2, 3 and/or 4) is closed the CB1 will be
closed when Gen1 is synchronized with main bus power supply.
A.2.3. Follow the same procedure for fire engine #2, 3# and #4.
600V AC Go to SW cabinet and press Close PB. This will close CB7 and deliver the
main AC power to 600V/480V transformer, also bring up power supply to VFD house air

1. GENERATOR UNIT
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The rig power generator system consists of 4 Engine/Generator sets. Each set has a
control cabinet inside the VFD House. (Caterpillar engine 3512B, 1101 KW; Kato
generator 1365 KW, 1950 KVA, 0.7PF, 600VAC, 3∅, 60HZ). Subtract the engine
radiator power consuming and consider of the generator efficiency, each power set can
produce up to 950 KW power supply.
The Generator Unit (the engine/generator control cabinet) controls the engine/generator
set to develop 600V, 3∅, 60HZ AC power supply. The outputs of 4 generators are fed to a
common AC bus (refer to DWG AC-00372-EQ-0001). Each engine/generator control
cabinet consists of an Engine Generator Control Package WOODWARD EGCP-3, a
Digital Load Sharing and Speed Controls WOODWARD 2301D, a Digital Excitation
Control System BASLER DECS-100 and a circuit breaker (refer to AC-00372-EE-0111
to 0147). The circuit breaker is interlocked with a protection module integrated in the
EGCP-3 which automatically trips the breaker for malfunctions such as Over
Current(910A), Over/Under Voltage( 640V, 569V), Over/Under Frequency (63Hz, 57Hz),
and Reverse Power. A Synchronization Panel located at SYN cabinet is provided to
synchronize each power system, the frequency, the voltage and the phase, with the main
AC bus. See bellow diagram for reference.
The LM770 Engine-Generator Control System includes Four (5) control cabinet (refer to
VFD House Cabinet Layout illustrated above),
SECTION 4: GEN #1 control cabinet
SECTION 5: GEN #2 control cabinet
SECTION 6: GEN #3 control cabinet
SECTION 7: GEN #4 control cabinet
SECTION 8: SYN control cabinet
There are 2 types of communications used for the power system control, MODBUS for
communication among the rig PLC Power Management System and the WOODWARD
EGCP-3 and LON data for active/inactive load sharing. On the cabinet #2 HMI, the PMS
screens are used to display the parameters and status of each E/G set and programmed in
the main PLC. A communication module SIEMENS CP341 on the main PLC rack
converts the EGCP-3's MODBUS to PROFIBUS DP. With the connection of LON data
interface of each EGCP-3, a MASTER-SLAVE PID regulation function for load sharing
automatically comes to action.
Engine/Generator Controls
The Generator Unit controls the engine/generator set to deliver a constant AC supply to
the Main AC Bus (refer to AC-00372-EQ-0001 ELECTRICAL ONE LINE 1). Note that
the Engine/Generator Control Package EGCP-3 contains the digital Engine Governing
PID, Generator Voltage Regulation PID, Protection and Master/Slave function.

Manual (WOODWARD Manual) and Installation Manual (WOODWARD Manual) of the
EGCP-3 Engine Generator Control Package.
The WOODWARD EGCP-3 has been configured during the rig the engine/generator
commissioning and it is ready for use. All configuration points that are necessary for
standard operation are available from the front panel display. These configuration points
plus additional points are available when using Watch Window software through the
ServLink communications serial link. The additional configuration points enable
additional features but are not required for basic operation.
The EGCP-3 is the central control package of an Engine/Generator set. There are two
outputs, one for engine speed close loop control and the other for generator voltage close
loop control. The frequency of generator AC power is regulated by the engine speed loop
and the voltage by the voltage or field loop.
The EGCP-3 engine speed control signal commands the WOODWARD 2301D unit
which controls the position of engine's throttle. The EGCP-3 voltage signal commands the
BASLER DECS-100 unit which controls the field voltage of the generator exciter.
Active/inactive Load Sharing is important and necessary in Multi-unit Generator System
Control. The LON port of an EGCP-3 package is used to communicate with up to 16 other
EGCP-3 devices. LON communication allows controls to share start/stop sequencing,
breaker status, and load share information between generator sets.
For more detailed information about the EGCP-3, please see the WOODWARD Manual.

The DECS-100 has been configured during the rig engine/generator commissioning and it
is ready for use. For more detailed information about the BASLER DECS-100, please see
the INSTRUCTION MANUAL for DECS-100 Digital Excitation Control System.
Voltage Select Switch is used to select Line-to Line voltage which is indicated on the
voltmeter. Four (4) positions are available and the most left position is OFF which turns
off the voltmeter. From the next to the most right position are L1-L2 for the Phase A-B
voltage; L2-L3 for the Phase B-C; and L3-L1 for the Phase C-A.
Current Select Switch is used to select the Line current which will be indicated on the
Amperometer. Four (4) positions are for OFF/L1/L2/L3. The position OFF means that
Amperometer is turn off.
Engine speed adjust switch is used to adjust the engine speed manually. Three (3)
positions “1”/”0”/”2” are available and the switch is auto-reset. The middle position “0”
turns off the adjustment function. Throwing the switch to the “1” position will lower the
engine speed. Throwing the switch to “2” position will raise the engine speed. When the
generator has been merged into an energized BUS, throwing this switch to UP or DOWN
will change the VAR level.
Generator Voltage Adjust switch is used to adjust the generator voltage manually. Three
(3) positions “1”/”0”/”2” are available and the switches are auto-reset. The middle
position “0” turns off the adjustment function. Throwing the switch to the “1” position
will lower the output voltage of a generator. Throwing the switch to “2” position will raise
Page 6 of 23
the generator voltage. When the generator has been merged into an energized BUS,
throwing this switch to UP or DOWN will change the VAR level.
Generator Control mode select switch is used to select multi-unit parallel operation
mode. Three (3) positions “0”/”1”/”2” are available and the “0” position is the normal
position for engine stop. After Engine/Generator is ready for start then turn this switch to
“1” position will fire the engine. The started engine will run at the idle speed (900rpm) for
3 minutes and then raises to 1200rpm and the generator produces 600VAC 3Ф 60Hz.
Position “2” is for closing the main engine circuit breaker which connect the generator
power to the main AC bus. If the main AC bus is not powered with other
engine/generator, turning the switch to position”2” will close the main circuit breaker
immediately. If the AC bus is already powered with other engine/generator(s), turning
the switch to position”2” won’t close the main circuit breaker until synchronized the
generator AC power with Main AC bus AC power.
If the switch is turned to “1” and then to”2” without waiting for engine/generator start up,
it will automatically start up the engine, run idle speed for 3 minutes, close the main
circuit breaker to merge the engine/generator power into main AC bus when seeing the
generator produced the 600V AC and it is synchronized with the main AC bus.
Turning the switch from”2” to “1” after main switch closed will have nothing happen
(functioning like engine start/ignite switch). Turning the switch from”1”to “0” will open
the main circuit breaker and stop the engine. The engine will speed down and running at
idle speed for “5” minutes before it full stops.
Main CB Control Switch used to close the main breaker to or trip from the main BUS.
Three (3) position “0”/”1”/”2” are available and this switch is auto-reset. The “0” position
is for reset status. Before manual close the circuit breaker you need to go to SYN cabinet
and turn the Generator Select switch to match the engine/generator you are operating.
When the selected engine/generator is synchronized with the main AC bus the
synchronization light on the SYN cabinet door panel will ON, at this time throw the
switch to Position “2” will closed the main circuit breaker and connect generator power to
the main AC bus.
If this is the first engine going to send power to maniac bus then no synchronization is
needed, just directly throw the switch to “2”.
When Generator Control mode select switch is at position “1”, throwing the switch to “1”
position will open the main breaker and cut off the generator from the main AC bus.
When Generator Control mode select switch is at position “2”, throwing the switch to “1”
position will open the main breaker and cut off the generator from the main AC bus. But
once you relief and let it go back to position “0” the main circuit breaker will go close, or
go synchronization close.
Page 7 of 23
Generator Select Switch is used to select which generator going to merge into the main
AC BUS. Five (5) positions “0”/”1”/”2”/”3”/”4” are available for this switch. Position”0”
for no generator is selected. The next four (4) positions ”1”/”2”/”3”/”4” are for generator
#1, #2, #3, or #4 correspondingly. For example, with this switch in position “2”, the
generator #2 voltage and frequency will be indicated on the meters, the synchronization
status between the generator #2 and the main AC bus will be shown in the Syncroscope.
There is a Ground Current Meter on the SECTION #8 cabinet door panel to monitor the
current flowing from main AC bus to the ground. Three (3) yellow ground indicators
(PHASE A, PHASE B, and PHASE C) are available, which indicate the three phases
insulation (to the ground) status. When they are light on and the ground current meter has
a very low indication indicate good insulation between the main AC BUS and ground.
Any bad phase-ground insulation will dim the phase lamp. A TEST pushbutton is
provided for lamps and insulations testing, push the button will light up the lamps to
normal light. So it tells if the three phases are in good insulation condition.

2.1 DESCRIPTION
The IGBT Drive System provides electrical power conversion and control for the
AC motors on the drilling rig. The system regulates AC power from
engine-generator sets and delivers continuously variable frequency AC power to
Page 11 of 23
traction motors which are coupled to functions such as Drawworks, Rotary Table,
Top Drive, and Mud Pumps (see DWG AC-00372-EQ-0001).
Three (3) VFDs for mud pumps, two (2) VFDs for Drawworks and one (1) VFD for
Top/RT Drive
Two Drawworks Dynamic Braking Choppers connected to the DC bus directly and two
braking resistors with ventilation fans connected to the Chopper. The DW Dynamic Brake
is automatically applied when the DC Bus voltage is over the Braking set point.
The DSU is a 6-pulse rectifier which rectifies the three-phase AC supply to provide
continuously constant DC power for the VFDs. The DSU is isolated by a circuit breaker
from the Main AC Bus. Two DSUs feed the DC bus 1 and DC bus 2 accordingly, and the
SW1 disconnect switch at the OETL cabinet connects them together. During normal
operation the SW1 is closed and the two DC buses work as one DC bus. In some case you
may need to open the SW1 to separate the DC buses for maintenance or troubleshooting.
The DSU2 CTR is similar with DSU1 except that DSU2 CTR does not have switches
DOUBLE MAIN BREAKER CONTR, SINGLE/DOUBLE and LOCAL/REMOTE.
Before working on the DSU2 CTR, the operation mode must be set at DSU1 CTRL.
Page 12 of 23
For detail information of DSU, please refer to the ABB DSU1 and DSU2 Drawings, as
well as ABB Diode Supply Unit installation and operation manual.
There are Six (6) VFDs connected to the DC bus. They convert DC power to
continuously variable frequency AC power for the VFD motors.
Three (3) Mud Pump Inverter Drives (Each consists of 3 of ABB ACS800-104-0580-7 )
for mud pump 1 (MP1), mud pump 2 (MP2) and mud pump 3 (MP3)
Two (2) Drawworks Inverter Drives (Each consists of 3 of ABB ACS800-104-0580-7 )
for Drawworks A (DWA) and Drawworks B (DWB)
One (1) RT/TD Inverter Drive which consists of 2 of ABB ACS800-104-0580-7 for Top
Drive and Rotary Table (RT/TD).
The Inverter Drives and the control panels (mini HMI) are located inside the VFD House
as listed bellow (Table 1), also refer to the VFD House Control Cabinet Layout (Fig.2)
For detail information of VFDs, please see the ABB MP1, MP2, MP3, DWA, DWB and
RT/TD drawings, as well as ABB VFD installation and operation manual.
Two (2) ABB ACS800-607-1600-7 assemblies (each consists of four (4) NRA669C units)
of Dynamic Braking Chopper (DB) are located in Section #16 and #18. The braking
resistor is settled in the ventilation box. When the DC bus voltage is over the chopping set
point the chopper IGBT is turned ON, and thereby the regenerative energy from the
Drawworks motor is consumed by the braking resistors, so the DC bus voltage maintains
constant.
For detail information of DB, please refer to the ABB BU1 and BU2 drawings as well as
ABB Dynamic Chopper installation and operation manual.
