Workstation Control Panels

Joysticks are used for tools that require controlled movement, such as the drawworks or the racker.
See section titled "Joysticks" on page 2-6.
Discrete switch controls are normally dedicated to frequently-used operations (such as opening
and closing the power slips or racker jaws).
While there are many possible combinations of controls and placement of the buttons and discrete
switches, two examples of workstation control panels are presented here. Specific controls and
their placement can vary widely from one rig to the next, depending on the customer’s needs.

Drawworks and Power Slips Bridge Racker or PRS
The joystick mounted on the operator workstation’s right control panel can control:
 The drawworks
 The drawworks and the power slips
 The racker
The tool or tools that a joystick controls depends upon your particular rig configuration and tool
ownership. Tool ownership logic prevents the operator from taking ownership of both the
drawworks and the racker simultaneously. See section titled "Tool Ownership" on page 2-34.
Using the joystick to move the racker affects its destination, which varies depending on its current
mode (selected via the user interface).
If the joystick does not offer power slip controls, then the workstation’s control panel normally
contains a discrete switch for opening and closing the slips. This is in addition to touchscreen
controls.
If the joystick has the ability to control both the power slips and the drawworks, the workstation’s
control panel will not contain controls for opening and closing the power slips. However, the control

Tool Ownership
This section contains information about Amphion tool ownership, and is intended to provide rig
personnel with a basic understanding of the concept of tool ownership and how it affects rig
operations.
Amphion tools can be controlled from operator workstations using joysticks, discrete switches, and
touchscreen controls. For safety reasons, control of most tools is limited to one operator
(workstation) at a time.
All tools affected by Amphion tool ownership are “owned” by the system at startup. Consequently,
before a tool can be controlled from any workstation, the operator must submit an ownership
request by pressing the Ownership button located on the tool screen. Once a workstation
assumes ownership of a tool, that workstation retains ownership; subsequent ownership requests
from other workstations are invalid until ownership is released.
To prevent untimely operation shutdowns due to hardware

or power failures that affect workstation controls, the
controller releases tool ownership only from those
workstations affected by the failure. Hardware or power
failures that do not affect tool operation will not cause tool
ownership release.
Ownership Controls and Status

Where applicable, tool screens contain an Ownership button. The button’s color and text indicates
its ownership status.
 A green ownership button, displaying the word “Available,” indicates the tool is
available for ownership. Your station can assume ownership only if the button is
enabled, and the word “Take” appears in black text along the bottom of the button.
If the text “Ownership” appears in white, and the button is disabled, your station
cannot assume ownership of the tool. If you are unable to take ownership because
your station already has ownership of another conflicting tool, the name of that tool
appears in white text along the bottom of the button.
 An orange ownership button indicates that the tool is currently owned by one of
the operators. The text display inside of the button indicates the workstation that
currently owns the tool.
 A red ownership button indicates an emergency stop is engaged, and the tool is
unavailable.

Granting and Releasing Ownership

Before granting tool ownership to a workstation, the controller verifies that the following conditions
are met:
 The IP address of the workstation requesting ownership has permission to control
the tool (see section titled "Tool Controllers and Security" on page 2-36).
 The tool is not owned by any other workstation.
When a tool is no longer required for the current operation, it should be released from ownership.
To release ownership of:
 A tool, press the Ownership button on the tool-specific HMI screen.
 All tools, press the Tool Ownership - Release All button on the workstation control
panel.
To ensure safety of personnel and equipment during

periods of tool inactivity and prior to leaving the
workstation, release ownership of all tools and
equipment. Failure to follow this advisory may result in
serious or fatal injury to personnel, significant damage
to equipment, and extended rig downtime.

Tool Controllers and Security

An Amphion tool controller (sometimes referred to as an “ATC,” or an “SBC”) is an embedded
computer designed to run platform-independent software to control machinery in industrial
applications. The Amphion tool controller consists of a high-end processor with Ethernet
connectivity as the standard communication protocol, with optional Profibus hardware for tool
remote I/O communications where necessary.
Amphion controllers are traditionally located in safe area MTC cabinets, however certain situations
may require that they be installed in hazardous areas. In such cases, the appropriate certification
must be obtained, and they must be installed inside approved enclosures.
Administrative access to software stored on the tool controller is password protected to prevent
accidental modification to tool parameters or settings.
Optional Components
RigSense and WITS
RigSense is a stand-alone drilling instrumentation system used to provide drillers and other key
personnel with instant access to critical drilling data. It can display, plot, print, export, and archive
up to 255 channels of data, which can be retrieved and viewed over the entire life of the well.
RigSense transmits and receives Wellsite Information Transfer Specification (WITS) information.
WITS is a communication protocol that enables companies operating different computer systems
to share information using a standard format for data transfer.
RigSense can easily be tailored to any rig’s requirements, and the data can be viewed in either
time- or depth-based format.
See the MD Totco RigSense manual for more information.
Simple Data Acquisition (S-DAQ™)

S-DAQ gathers data from rig sensors and equipment. Drilling parameters are displayed in realtime,
in both analog and digital formats. Each channel can be configured with alarm functions.
S-DAQ can apply algorithms to the data, then forward the information to applications such as
RigSense™. S-DAQ and RigSense communicate using Ethernet.
See Chapter 24, titled "S-DAQ™” for more information.
System 5 Data Acquisition (V-DAQ™)

Data for RigSense is supplied by V-DAQ, which gathers data from sensors and equipment. It can
apply algorithms to the data, then forward the information to RigSense. V-DAQ and RigSense
communicate using Ethernet.
See Chapter 26, titled "V-DAQ™” for more information.

Electronic Driller System™ (EDS)

NOV’s Electronic Driller System is built into the drawworks and Amphion touchscreen control
systems.
EDS is designed to provide a constant drilling state at the bit, which cannot be achieved using
manual or other types of drawworks braking systems. The constant bit state is achieved through
closed-loop control of selected primary drilling parameters (such as weight on bit or delta
pressure), and the ability to regulate the disc brake for continuous feed of the drill line.
Continuously running secondary control parameters (rate of penetration and torque) provide
additional control necessary for a steady state during unexpected events, such as a drilling break
or stick-slip situation.
The driller can activate modes through the touchscreens, and adjust individual parameter
setpoints.
See product-specific NOV EDS documentation, and

Chapter 10, titled "Drawworks” for more information.

Defining a Maximum Pull Limit

Use the Max Pull Limit controls to define a maximum hook load weight for the drawworks. The
value set here depends upon the operation being performed. This value is used to calculate a
velocity limit during hoisting.
The actual measured hook load during hoisting operations may be slightly higher or lower than the
value entered, as the measurement is taken at one end (deadline).
The velocity limit does not override the deceleration

rates of the system. Therefore, if the limit is reached
and the system is moving fast, it decelerates
according to the calculated deceleration rate. This
could cause a large overshoot of the entered hook
load value. Use caution when running in tight
formation. This protection cannot prevent against
over-pull in every situation. It is ultimately the driller’s
responsibility to prevent over-pull.
Press Max Pull Limit to display its keypad.
Define a maximum weight value for the drawworks, then press Set to confirm the value and close
the keypad.
Max Pull Limit controls and values are available only on

Also see Chapter 3, titled "Alarms and Events.”
Alarm Definitions
Trip
Action taken by the control system in response to an abnormal condition.
Abnormal Condition
 The measurement of a process variable that is outside the normal operating
conditions. This value is determined by, or based upon, the recommendations of the
equipment manufacturer.
 Loss of communication with the variable frequency drive (VFD).
 Loss of communication with remote I/O of the drawworks control system.
 Loss of utilities (air supply, cooling water, electrical).
 Failure of an instrument connected to the control system.
Fault
 Instrument failure or process condition that makes the signal to the control system
greater than 20.2 ma, or less than 3.8 ma.
 A condition in which two components on the a same circuit are not in the same state
(for example, a switch and relay not in the same state where monitored).
Alarm
A text message displayed on the alarm banner and the Alarms screen until cleared. Abnormal
conditions, faults, soft trips, and all category stops generate an alarm.
Soft Trip
A condition where continued operation may cause damage to the drawworks or its associated
systems. The trip bit is set, and an alarm triggers, notifying the driller of the condition. When the
driller moves the joystick below the +/- 25% position, commands above 25% are limited to 25% of
the driller-defined maximum. Once the system is parked, it remains parked until the fault is cleared
or acknowledged.

Category 2 Stops
 The first type of category 2 stop is a controlled stop with power remaining available
to the VFDs/motors. Joystick commands are disabled. After drum speed is reduced
to zero rpm, the spring brakes are set. Once they are engaged and the load is
secured, the speed and torque commands to the VFDs are zeroed. If the system
cannot be decelerated by the motors, the friction brakes stop the drum before the
solenoid valves de-energize, and the system initiates a Category 2 - Brake Only
stop (described below).
 The second type is referred to as a Brake Only stop, which is a controlled stop that
reduces joystick movement commands to zero. VFDs shut down, and the friction
brake speed controller decelerates the system to zero rpm. After drum speed
reaches zero rpm, power to the brake system’s solenoid valves is removed, which
sets the spring-applied brakes.
 The third type is referred to as a Category 2 Stop Open Loop stop, which initiates
the same sequence of events as the Brake Only stop, except the friction brake is
applied to achieve a calculated deceleration rate, without speed control. This stop is
initiated when an encoder fault is detected, and the system cannot determine which
encoder is valid.
E-Stop (Category 0)
Category 0 emergency stops immediately remove power to the VFDs and motors (uncontrolled
stop; VFDs trip and coast to a stop), removes pressure from the spring-applied brakes, and applies
full pressure to air-applied service brakes. This stop can be initiated either automatically by the
control system, or by manually pushing the E-Stop button located on the driller workstation control
panel.
If a system has two chairs, the E-Stop button on the chair that has ownership of the drawworks
initiates a Category 0 E-Stop. The E-Stop on the other chair will initiate a Category 2 E-Stop.
Normally, that would mean that the E-Stop button on the driller’s chair will initiate a Category 0 E-
Stop and the one of the AD chair will cause a Category 2 E-Stop. However, if the AD has
ownership of the drawworks, then the AD chair’s E-Stop button will cause the Category 0 E-Stop
and the driller’s chair E-Stop button will cause the Categoy 0 E-Stop.
The chair that is permitted to control the drawworks is

selected by a keyswitch located in the LER. If the key
switch is selected to Driller then the drillers chair has the
Category 0 E-Stop and the AD has the Category 2 E-
Stop. If the keyswitch is selected to AD then the AD has
the Category 0 E-Stop and the Driller has the Category 2
E-Stop. The draw works ownership button will not be
available to the chair that is not selected as the Category 0
E-stop.

Power System

Overview
The purpose of the Amphion power system is to monitor and analyze the status of the drilling
power source, and report power capacity and power consumed values to each tool. From these
values, each tool calculates a power available value:
Power Available = Power Capacity – Power Consumed
Programming code stored on each tool’s controller determines whether power available is
sufficient for its purposes, or if the tool needs to go into power limit mode.
For more information about power calculations:
 See section titled "Power Capacity Calculations" on page 19-10.
 See section titled "Power Consumed Calculations" on page 19-12.
 See section titled "Power Available Calculations" on page 19-13.
On smaller rigs, the Amphion power system may be the only power management system on the
rig. In this case, it monitors the status of the generators or utility power directly. It also monitors the
overall system load, in addition to the drilling load.
On larger rigs, the Amphion power system may be integrated as a sub-component to a larger
overall power management system (PMS). In this case, it is normally the rig’s power management
system that sends power availability signals to the Amphion power system for drilling purposes
only; the Amphion power system would not manage the overall system load.
In either case, the primary objective of the Amphion power system is to deliver power availability
information to all drilling tools in order to prevent a system overload and blackout.

Power Capacity Calculations
See NOV document titled “Amphion Tool Controller

Service Manual” for more information about the Debug
Monitor module.
The Amphion power system calculates a total system capacity. Then, depending on the bus
configuration, it determines the capacity available to each individual tool.
AC Bus Generator Capacity

When the Amphion power system is monitoring the status of generators (as is normally the case
on smaller rigs), the system capacity is determined by multiplying the capacity of one generator by
the number of generators online.
(Capacity of 1 Generator) x (Number of Generators Online) = System Capacity
The default value for each generator depends on your particular rig configuration. However, each
generator’s maximum rated capacity values can be set using the Debug Monitor module’s
generators.<x>.capacity.kw file.
AC Bus Transformer Capacity

When the Amphion power system is monitoring power available at a transformer (as is normally
the case on larger rigs), it will determine the system capacity in one of the following ways,
depending on the signals that are received.
When calculating power available or power consumed values (described later in this section) using
a transformer, the Amphion power system maintains the transformer’s maximum rated capacity
value in the Debug Monitor’s transformers.<x>.capacity.kva file. The transformers’ default values
depend on your particular rig configuration.
When kW and kVAR load signals are available for the transformer, the Amphion power system
actively calculates a power factor based on the ratio of the kW and kVAR feedback values. The
transformer’s capacity kW value is calculated by multiplying the kVA rating value by the power
factor value.
(kVA rating) x (power factor) = Capacity kW
When the system has more than one transformer, the system capacity value equals the sum of all
online transformers’ capacity kW values.
System Capacity
When the rig’s PMS sends a power available signal, the Amphion power system does not have the
data necessary to determine the exact total online capacity for the entire rig. Therefore, the
Amphion power system calculates a total power consumed value by reading the power consumed
value from each drilling tool at the drilling bus. It then calculates a system capacity value by adding
the power available value received from the rig’s PMS to its calculated total power consumed
value.
(PMS) Power Available + Total Power Consumed (Drilling Bus) = System Capacity

Power System 19
Total Online Capacity

When the rigs’s PMS opts to provide a power consumed signal, they must also provide the online
status of the generators as a seperate set of signals.the Amphion power system tracks the total
online capacity value for the rig. It uses the generator online status signals to determine the Total
Online Capacity.
(Capacity of 1 Generator) x (Number of Generators Online) = Total Online Capacity
The Amphion power system also calculates a power available value by subtracting the power
consumed value from the total online capacity value.
Total Online Capacity - Power Consumed (PMS) = Power Available
The Amphion power system uses this calculated power available value in the same manner as
described in the section titled "System Capacity" on page 19-10.
DC Rectifier Capacity
For most rigs, the maximum rated capacity value for each rectifier can be set using the Debug
Monitor module’s powerPlant.co.maxKwAtRect file. The rectifiers’ default values depend on your
The Amphion power system calculates the rectifiers’ individual total capacity values by using one
of the following calculated value or method:
 By adding the consumed power value (from the rectifier) to the available power
value (from the AC Bus)
Consumed Power (rectifier) + Available Power (AC Bus) = Total Capacity
 By using the maximum rated capacity value of the rectifier
The system uses whichever value is lowest. If a rectifier is not online, its reported total capacity
value is zero.
DC Bus Capacity
The Amphion power system calculates the DC bus capacity value based on the sum of all online
rectifiers’ capacity values. This could be calculated using either the individual total capacity values,
or by using the sum of the individual maximum rated capacity values as described in the section
above, titled "DC Rectifier Capacity.”

D811001248-MAN-001
Page 19-12 of 14
Power Consumed Calculations
The method that the Amphion power system uses to

determine total system power consumed varies based on
your particular rig configuration.
DC Bus Consumed
The Amphion power system calculates the DC bus power consumed value based on the sum of all
power consumed values read from each of the tool inverters. On rigs with multiple DC buses, the
system maintains separate power consumed values for each DC bus.
AC Bus Consumed
When the Amphion power system is monitoring the status of the generators (as is normally the
case on smaller rigs) it determines the AC bus power consumed value based on the sum of the
load kW values read from each generator.
When the Amphion power system is receiving a power consumed value from a larger rig’s power
management system (PMS), it uses the value provided by the PMS as the AC bus power
consumed value.

Power Available Calculations

System Total Power Available
The Amphion power system calculates the system’s total power available value by subtracting the
total power consumed value from the total online capacity value.
Total Online Capacity - Total Power Consumed = Total Available Power
Tool Power Available (General)

Individual tools read power capacity and power consumed values from the power system’s tool
controller to determine the available power value. Programming code stored on each tool’s
controller determines whether the power available value is sufficient for its purposes, or if the tool
needs to go into power limit mode. See the following section titled "Power Limiting.”
In other words, the power system tool controller does not determine whether a tool is placed in
power limit mode; rather, the individual tool’s controller determines this, based on the power
available value and the parameters set up within the tool’s controller.
Power Limiting
Generally speaking, if the power demands exceed the power available, the maximum power
consumption allowed for all drives is reduced simultaneously. While there is normally no
prioritization of one tool versus another (unless your rig is configured as such), power may not be
reduced proportionally between the tools consuming power. The system is designed to ensure that
there is always enough torque to hold the static load of the drawworks. In addition, power limiting is
dynamic, so all power can be diverted to a single drive if the other drives are not demanding that
power.
The motor control center (MCC) and lighting circuits are not subject to power limiting, so the power
they consume also reduces the total shared power available.

For each joystick operational function (hoist, lower, travel, and arm movement), the degree of
joystick movement determines the speed of racker movement. For example, if you move the
joystick only slightly, the racker operates at a slow speed. If you move the joystick all the way to the
end of an axis, the racker operates at maximum speed.
The destination of the racker depends upon the racker mode selection. See section titled "Racker

 Press and hold the Torque button to run the top drive using the user-defined Make
Up Torque setpoint. Release the button to return to Spin mode. See section titled
"Speed and Torque Controls" on page 25-4.
 Press and hold the Torque button to execute a make up or break out sequence.
The selected direction determines if it is a make up or a break out sequence.
Make Up Sequence
 With the Top Drive direction set to Forward - When the Torque button is pressed the
Top Drive will verify that the connection is shouldered by first executing a spin in
sequence. When the feedback torque is at or greater than the spin torque setting the
torque limit is then ramped up to the make up torque setting. Once the torque
feedback is equal to or greater than the make up torque setting the connection is
complete and the operator can release the Torque button. At this point the torque
limit will then be ramped down.
If the Torque Wrench is in auto, the first action in the

sequence will be to set the RLA lock and close the Torque
Wrench clamp. The last action in the sequence is to
release the clamp.
Break Out Sequence

 With the Top Drive direction set to Reverse - When the Torque button is pressed the
Top Drive will begin to ramp the torque limit to the maximum torque setting. When
the connection breaks and the torque feedback is less than the spin torque setting
the Top Drive will then go into the spin out phase and stay there until the operator
releases the Torque button.
If the operator selects Torque while in Drill mode the

Torque Wrench will always be used whether or not the Top
Drive is in Auto mode. If the connection needs to be broken
out without using the Torque Wrench the operator must
select Torque Mode while in Spin mode.
