Auto logging of electronic detonators

An insulation displacement connector (IDC) for use in a blasting system comprising a blast machine and a plurality of electronic detonators controlled by the blast machine, wherein each of the electronic detonators includes an auto-logging component, wherein each of the plurality of electronic detonators includes first and second blast wires, wherein each of the auto-logging components includes first and second logging wires, wherein the first and second blast wires of each of the plurality of detonators is connectable to the blast machine by first and second blast lines to form a blast control circuit, wherein the first and second logging wires of each of the auto-logging components is connectable to the blast machine by a logging line to form a logging circuit, the IDC comprising:

• a casing;
• a first bus wire channel in the casing for receiving a section of the first blast line of the blast control circuit;
• a second bus wire channel in the casing for receiving a section of the second blast line of the blast control circuit;
• a third bus wire channel in the casing for receiving a section of the logging line of the logging circuit;
• a fourth channel in the casing for receiving a section of the first logging wire of the detonator;
• a fifth channel in the casing for receiving a section of the second logging wire of the detonator;
• a sixth channel in the casing for receiving a section of the first blast wire of the detonator;
• a seventh channel in the casing for receiving a section of the second blast wire of the detonator;
• a first barb set in the casing for electrically connecting the first blast line of the blast control circuit with the first blast wire of the detonator;
• a second barb set in the casing for electrically connecting the second blast line of the blast control circuit with the second blast wire of the detonator;
• a third barb set in the casing for electrically connecting the logging line of the logging circuit to the first logging wire of the detonator;
• a fourth barb set in the casing for electrically connecting the logging line of the logging circuit to the second logging wire of the detonator;
• and
• a line cutter between the third and fourth barb sets for electrically severing the logging line of the logging circuit.
