Universal Data Acquisition
Hardware
PetroDAQ EDR is a rack mountable unit with a processing unit, and a connection panel.
The connection panel uses the common Phoenix header style connectors, allowing you to bring the sensor data to the unit without the need to use specialized connectors.
Analog Inputs
The PetroDAQ Mudlogging EDR features a large number of analog inputs for all the sensors at the mud pits and the rig floor.
All ports can provide +5V, +12V, and +24V power to the sensors.
A purpose built current to voltage converter allows you to use the 5V TTL counter for current loop counters.
| Analog input | # of Ports |
|---|---|
| 0-20mA Current Loop | 27 |
| ±10V | 3 |
| 5V TTL Counter | 8 |
| Quadrature Decoder | 2 |
Digital I/O
The digital I/O ports provided with the Mudlogging EDR allow the aggregation of digital information from other contractors--typically the directional driller--to share information with third parties and the connection to multiple networks.
An external USB port and a video VGA port allow you to connect a keyboard, mouse and a monitor to the unit for local control.
| Function | # of Ports |
|---|---|
| Serial RS-232 DB9 | 2 |
| USB | 1 |
| VGA | 1 |
| Ethernet | 2 |
Software
The Mudlogging EDR processing unit is a high performance embedded system running the Linux Operating System, and the PetroDAS software. This combination allows you to obtain server level performance in a small and rugged form factor. The system can be optionally loaded with the Windows Operating System.
