Abstract
A method may include establishing a network connection between a sensor device and a drilling management network. The method may further include obtaining, from a control system in the drilling management network, a request for sensor data from a sensor device coupled to the drilling management network. The method may further include transmitting, using a communication protocol and over the drilling management network, the sensor data from the sensor device to the control system.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- establishing a network connection between a sensor device and a drilling management network;
- obtaining, from a first control system in the drilling management network, a request for first sensor data from a sensor device coupled to the drilling management network;
- and
- transmitting, using a communication protocol and over the drilling management network, the first sensor data from the sensor device to the first control system.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a sensor device comprising a communication interface and sensor circuitry;
- a drilling management network coupled to the sensor device, the drilling management network comprising a first control system and a plurality of network elements;
- wherein the drilling management network is configured to:
- establish a network connection between the sensor device and the drilling management network;
- obtain, from a first control system in the drilling management network, a request for first sensor data from the sensor device;
- and
- transmit, using a communication protocol, the first sensor data from the sensor device to the first control system, wherein the first control system comprises a programmable logic controller configured to perform one or more drilling operations with a drilling rig using the first sensor data.
4 more elements
A sensor device, comprising:
- a communication interface;
- a processor;
- sensor circuitry;
- and
- memory comprises instructions executable by the processor and configured to:
- establish a network connection with a drilling management network;
- generate, using sensor circuitry, at least one sensor measurement regarding one or more environmental conditions proximate the sensor device;
