Abstract
A sensor system and method for sensing conditions of a pipeline is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of sensors that sense a condition of the pipeline, generate a signal indicative of the condition, and communicate the signal. A pipeline device navigates the pipeline receives the signal, stores a value corresponding to the condition, and selectively communicates value.
Claims20
A sensor system for sensing conditions of a pipeline comprising:
- a plurality of sensors that:
- sense at least one condition of the pipeline;
- generate at least one signal indicative of a value corresponding to the at least one condition;
- and
- wirelessly communicates the at least one signal;
- and
- a pipeline device configured to navigate the pipeline that:
- receives the at least one signal;
- stores the value corresponding to the at least one condition in an associated memory;
- and
- selectively communicates the stored values in response to receiving a request to communicate the stored values.
