Abstract
An integrated wireless data system and method for controlling and measuring operational data of a pumpjack system, for safety, health monitoring, and pump control is provided. The integrated wireless data system and method may be configured to allow for bi-directional communication with a central station to enable human intervention with pumpjack and to store pump parameters in a database for use in development of predictive maintenance techniques.
Claims12
An integrated wireless data system for measurement of operating characteristics of a pumpjack, comprising:
- a remote unit mounted to the pumpjack having at least one sensor and a remote transceiver and an amplifier and an A/D converter and at least one low impedance switch and a microprocessor, said remote unit configured to measure data associated with the operational characteristics of the pumpjack;
- said remote unit including a power storage device connected to and providing power to said remote unit;
- a base unit located in a motor control panel of the pumpjack having a base transceiver and an amplifier and a microprocessor connected to and in communication with a motor controller for controlling a motor of the pumpjack;
- and
- said remote unit and said base unit wirelessly communicate with one another to exchange the data in real-time bi-directionally, wherein said base unit is configured to send a signal to said remote unit to alter at least one of a plurality of data collection parameters of the data associated with the operational characteristics of the pumpjack.
