1 INTRODUCTION
The ADS-10SD (Automatic Drawworks System) is a combination of a gear driven mechanical
drawworks equipped with two AC variable speed motors and a multi-disc friction brake with an
advanced control system. The ADS-10SD is driven by two AC motors powering one 2,000
horsepower capacity gearbox. The system is used for hoisting and lowering the traveling
equipment of a drilling rig to remove and insert drilling tubulars into a well bore.
The ADS-10SD is modular in design and consists of a single unitized frame to support the drum
shaft assembly and AC motors and to provide torque reaction points for the modular gearbox and
the brake assembly. The frame is designed to react the load from the drill line, interface with the
customers support structure and allow for 4-point lift of the entire machine for installation
purposes. The drum shaft assembly consists of the wire rope drum, the drum shaft and two
bearing carriers for interfacing with the frame assembly. The drum is designed to carry the
required drill line and uses patented Lebus grooving to assure proper spooling of the drill line.
The bearing carriers are designed to interface with the frame assembly to provide anchorage and
allow removal of the drum shaft assembly from the front of the machine. The gearbox is
assembled to the drum shaft for transferring power from the AC motors. The gearbox utilizes
helical gearing resulting in smooth and quiet operation.
The ADS-10SD is designed to use AC motors and associated electrical dynamic braking system
as the primary braking mechanism. Control of the NOV friction brake provides parking and
emergency functions. The multi-disc brake assembly is air cooled and mounted to the side of the
drum shaft support upright. The torque from the drum shaft is transferred to the rotating elements
of the brake through splined drive gear sleeves. The body of the brake is bolted directly to the
drum shaft support upright and transfers the brake torque from the drum shaft to the drawworks
skid through the support upright. The braking system is a spring applied air cooled design that
applies the brake if there is a loss of air pressure (fail safe).
The ADS-10SD integrates the control of hoisting and braking into an intelligent, fault tolerant,
operator friendly system. The primary control of the system is via a single joystick that allows the
operator to command proportional hoisting and lowering speeds with a single input. The control
system controls the Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) / motors and mechanical brake to maintain
the ADS operating parameters and control block velocity throughout the entire range of travel of
the block.
The VFDs must be configured in a master/slave configuration. The drives must be changeable
between the master and slave configuration to allow for continued operations in the event of a
drive or motor failure / reassignment.
The main advantage of an AC powered gear driven drawworks is the ability to operate in hoist,
lower and stop modes without setting a parking brake or engaging and disengaging a drum clutch
each time a change is made from one mode to another. Additionally, taking advantage of the high
speed and torque of AC motors, a full range of hoisting speeds and loads can be accomplished
with a single speed gearbox.

Revision 02
Page 7
By using 100% dynamic braking resistors for all operations within their power capacity, setting of
the brake can be kept to a minimum thereby increasing the efficiency of tripping and simplifying
the tasks performed by the driller. The mechanical brakes are only used for emergency stops,
parking, and for emergency manual load-lowering in case of a power outage.
2 SAFETY FUNCTIONS
The Driller’s experience and skill provides primary safety functions. The ADS control system
provides secondary functions of which the most important are:
2.1 Drill Line Protection

The purpose of this protection is to give maximum life to the drill line; however the Driller is
primarily responsible for accelerating and decelerating in a manner that does not foul or damage
the drill line. Drum acceleration when lowering is automatically limited, based on hook load and
the number of lines strung, to a value that will keep tension on the drill line. Deceleration is also
limited when hoisting to keep a similar tension on the line.
2.2 Drill String Maximum Pull Limit Protection

The purpose of this protection is to avoid submitting the drill string to excessive tension.
Maximum pull protection is provided by allowing the Driller to enter a maximum hook load that he
can pull. This value is used to calculate a velocity limit during hoisting. Because of the need to
use a filtered hook load signal to reduce the effects of acceleration loading, the actual measured
hook load during the operation may be slightly higher or lower than the value entered. This
velocity limit does not override the deceleration rates of the system, so if the limit is reached and
the system is moving fast the system will decelerate per the calculated deceleration rate. This
could cause a large overshoot of the entered hook load value. The Driller should use caution
when running in tight formation. This protection cannot prevent against over-pull in every
situation, but the control system will be able to detect and respond to an over-pull condition faster
than the driller would be able to respond.
2.3 Collision Protection

The purpose of this protection is to avoid collisions with the crown and drill floor. The driller,
however, is primarily responsible for operating the ADS in a manner such that collisions do not
occur. Deceleration limits when lowering are calculated based on the hook load, number of
motors, and number of lines strung. Deceleration limits when hoisting are based on acceleration
required to keep the drill line in tension. From these deceleration limits stopping distances are
calculated. Driller-entered limits define the allowable zones of travel for the traveling assembly.
The combination of the deceleration limits, calculated stopping distances and Driller-entered limits
combine to define the velocity profile (or safe operating envelope). The ADS control system uses
this information to control the movement of the traveling assembly and allow operating the system
at the highest acceptable speeds while keeping the system within the operating limits of the
associated equipment. Additional information regarding parameters that govern the operating
profile will follow in later sections.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 8
2.4 Equipment Protection

Various parameters are monitored to ensure that the equipment is operating properly and will not
be damaged by loss of utilities. Major parameters being monitored include Lube Oil Pressure,
Brake Supply Air Pressures, Rig Supply Control Air Pressure, VFD and motor parameters. Loss
of these services or components, or operation outside the recommended limits of these
components may cause the ADS control system to enter a fault mode and slow or stop the ADS
until the problem is corrected. For some fault modes, a Driller-initiated override is available that
will allow the block to move at maximum speed if the Driller determines that the overall safety of
the rig is best served by sacrificing the ADS or associated equipment.
2.5 Zone Management Protection

The ADS controller is capable of working in a drilling rig equipped with a Zone Management
System (ZMS). The ZMS avoids collisions between the traveling equipment and other tools that
under normal operations may enter the traveling range of the traveling equipment. The ADS
controller continuously provides the ZMS system with a safe stopping height value. Based on
tools positions the ZMS continuously provides the ADS with a ZMS entry height. If the ZMS entry
height is higher than the lower travel limit, the ADS controller uses the ZMS entry height as the
lower limit. The ZMS always checks the safe stopping height signal before the ZMS changes the
ZMS entry height. If the traveling equipment cannot be stopped before the ZMS entry height, the
ZMS does not allow another tool to enter the zone.
2.6 Monkeyboard Collision Warning System Protection

The drawworks controller is capable of working in a rig equipped with a Monkey Board Collision
Warning System (MCWS). The MCWS avoids collisions between the traveling equipment and the
monkeyboard. The drawworks reads the monkeyboard height from the TDS and a status of the
links (if the links are safe from collision with the monkeyboard). If the links are not safe, the
drawworks will decelerate and stop the block before the links/ elevators reach the monkeyboard.
The MCWS can also initiate a zero speed command if the MCWS determines the block should be
stopped. When the drawworks control received this signal it will decelerate the block following the
velocity profile.
2.7 Critical Sensor Redundancy
2.7.1 Hook Load Measurement Validation

The hook load measurement system is comprised of three sensors. An automatic two out of three
voting logic assures that the system operates with a validated hook load measurement. The
Driller is given the option to manually select the source for hook load measurement but this is
intended as a temporary condition to overcome the failure of two of the measuring sensors during
a well emergency. The Driller is given a clear warning that an erroneous hook load measurement
can cause the system to drastically overshoot its stopping target or decelerate in an excessive
manner. The Driller is also given a warning that an erroneous hook load reading can lead to
collisions or birdnesting of the drill line and that by manually selecting the hook load source the
measurement validation is disabled. An alarm is always present in the system if the hook load
measurement is not in Auto.

Revision 02

2.7.2 Block Position Verification

Block position is calculated by the ADS control system based on multiple drum shaft encoder
inputs. Encoders mounted on the intermediate shaft of the gearboxes feed counts during drum
revolution into the ADS control system. A set of screens guide the Driller through a calibration
procedure which also allows entry of the current number of lines. The calibration process takes
into consideration drum diameter, wraps per layer, wire rope diameter and layer change locations
and allows the ADS control system to relate drum rotation to block travel.
Block position calibration points include the drill floor and a layer change which is visually
established by the Driller.
If one of the encoders fails, an alarm is generated on the Amphion screen. Operation is allowed
to continue as normal and the active sensor switches to the valid encoder. If a second encoder
fails, the system is faulted and must be operated in single encoder mode if block movement is
required.

maintaining safe and reliable operation. By following the velocity profile, the ADS control system
allows the driller to maximize the speed of trips between positions in the derrick (between the
travel limits) while maintaining safe operation. The driller is able to scale back the block speed
from these maximum limits at any time by adjusting the control joy stick position to less than
100%.
Definitions:
Lower Deceleration Point – When lowering, the lower deceleration point is the lowest position at
which braking can be utilized to safely stop the block without passing the lower travel stop. The
lower deceleration point is calculated by adding the calculated stopping distance for downward
travel to the lower travel stop position. Stopping distance is calculated based on available braking
torque and system inertia (which, in addition to constant system parameters, includes variables
such as lines strung, hook load and block position).
Lower Travel Stop – The lower travel stop is the first Driller defined position of lower travel (in
effect when the Autodriller is not engaged). The Control System will not allow the lower travel
stop position to be set below the lower travel limit. It is the responsibility of the Driller to properly
set the lower travel stop position to prevent the traveling assembly from impacting the floor or
other equipment. After the control system stops the elevators at the lower travel stop, the joystick
must be placed into the center position before further lowering is possible. After centering the
joystick, the joystick can be used to lower the block to the lower travel limit.
Lower Travel Limit – The lower travel limit is the Driller defined position of lower most travel.
The Control System will not allow the lower travel limit position to be set below the known position
of the floor. It is the responsibility of the Driller to properly set the lower travel limit position to
prevent equipment hanging below the blocks or top drive from impacting the floor or other
equipment. The ADS Control System, as part of the ZMS, will automatically adjust the lower
travel limit based on information regarding the position of other equipment that must enter the
zone in which the block travels.
Drill Stop Point - The drill stop point is the Driller defined position of lower most travel when
drilling. The Driller must enter a value that corresponds to the block position that can be
accomplished when the links are fully tilted to the drill position. Since the zero elevator position is
adjusted with the links in the float position the Drill Stop Point will typically be a negative value.
Hoisting Deceleration Point – When hoisting, the hoisting deceleration point is the uppermost
position at which the block will begin deceleration to safely stop the blocks without passing the
high travel stop and keep tension in the drill line. The hoisting deceleration point is calculated by
subtracting the stopping distance from the high travel stop. Stopping distance is calculated based
on available braking torque and system inertia (which, in addition to constant system parameters,
includes variables such as lines strung, hook load and block position).
High Travel Stop – The high travel stop point is the Driller-defined position of upper travel. The
Control System will not allow the high travel stop position to be set above the high travel limit.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 12
The control system stops the top of the blocks at the high travel stop, the joystick must be placed
into the center position before further hoisting is possible. After centering the joystick, the joystick
can then be used to hoist the block to the high travel limit.
High Travel Limit – The high travel limit is the Driller-defined position of uppermost travel. Just
as the ADS control system will assist the operator in preventing floor collisions, it will also assist in
preventing crown collisions by not allowing a high travel limit to be set above what is known by the
control system to be the maximum height before impacting the crown block.
Dynamic Braking – Dynamic braking is defined as the use of the ADS motors in generator mode
to provide braking. When dynamic braking is in use, the power generated is returned to the DC
bus. If this results in the voltage on the bus increasing, because there is insufficient load on the
bus to absorb the power, chopper circuits will feed power from the DC bus to a resistor bank. In
case of a chopper or resistor failure, the ADS Control System will stop the system using the
friction brakes (defined as a Category 2 Brake Only Stop) The ADS Control System will then
reduce the available braking power figure accordingly and will use the reduced power to calculate
maximum velocity and stopping distance.
Velocity Control – The VFD system works as a velocity control system.

The position of the ADS control joystick is a velocity command sent to the Lower
controller which then commands the VFD and/or brake controller to go to (Max Speed)
the desired block speed (as limited by the velocity profile). The central
position of the joystick represents zero velocity (stationary drum). The
Zero Speed
difference between the desired velocity and the actual velocity is an error
signal. The magnitude of this error signal determines the force to be
applied to the load. (Max Speed)

Drawworks Joystick
3 PARK BRAKE MODE

The Park Brake Mode is intended to be used by the Driller to support the load utilizing the NOV
friction brakes for long periods of time or when the Driller is not present at the Driller’s console.
The ADS Control System will enter the Park Brake Mode when the Driller activates the parking
brake switch. Alternatively, the ADS Control System will enter Park Brake Mode automatically
due to a certain period of inactivity (10 minutes) at zero speed command (joystick at center
position).
If the Driller activates the parking brake switch while the block is moving, the block will be
decelerated at the maximum rate according to the velocity profile. When the drum is stopped, the
NOV friction brakes will be set as described in the Torque Transfer sequence.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 13
If the parking brake was applied due to inactivity time-out or by the Park Brake switch, the Driller
must toggle the Park Brake switch to the off position to release the Park Brake Mode. When the
Driller disengages from the Park Brake Mode the load is transferred from the NOV friction brakes
to the motors as described in the Torque Transfer sequence.
4 TORQUE TRANSFER SEQUENCE

The torque transfer sequence is a method of smoothly transitioning the load from the NOV friction
brakes to the ADS motors or from the ADS motors to the NOV friction brakes.
4.1 Transferring From Brakes to Motors:

The spring applied brake must have sufficient air supply pressure before allowing the torque
transfer sequence from brake to motors to be initiated. Transferring the load from the NOV friction
brake to the ADS motors is accomplished by sending a small hoisting speed command (roughly 5
motor RPM) and a torque limit to the VFD system. The torque limit is based on hook load, gear
ratio, number of lines and number of motors and is of a magnitude large enough to support the
load (excessive torque could cause damage to the system and related tools). Once the feedback
torque equals the calculated torque limit the brake is ramped to zero torque over a short period of
time. As soon as the system detects movement in the hoist direction the speed command is
ramped to zero and the torque limit is ramped to maximum. Ramping of the brake torque and
motor torque limit in this fashion (as opposed to instantaneous changes) prevents transients,
which could cause unnecessary and undesirable gearbox vibration. If the drum rotation indicates
the blocks are moving downward the brake is set and an alarm is generated indicating torque
transfer fail. If the feedback torque does not reach the torque limit the system waits until torque is
reached or driller parks the system. If the drum does not move in hoist direction and torque is
reached after 10 seconds an alarm is generated and the system returns to park. The driller must
repeat the torque transfer sequence.
4.2 Transferring From Motors to Brakes:

Transferring the load from the drawworks motors to the friction brake is accomplished in a similar
manner. Once the load is stopped and is being held by the motors, the torque limit is set to value
large enough to support the load (based on the torque feedback from the drive plus 10%). The
brake is then ramped to full torque over a short period of time. As soon as the load is being
supported by the friction brake (as determined by the brake pressure feedback), the motor torque
is ramped to zero over a short period of time. Ramping of the brake torque and motor torque limit
in this fashion (as opposed to instantaneous changes) and limiting the motor torque prevents
transients, which could cause unnecessary and undesirable gearbox vibration. In the event of
brake failure when transferring the load from motor to brake, if the movement in the lowering
direction is measured (by a defined amount) the motor torque limit is ramped back to maximum
(with a zero motor speed command), the motor/ VFD is not turned off and a warning is generated
indicating that the load should be set in slips as the brake cannot hold load.

5 LOWERING THE BLOCK

5.1 Accelerating:
Under normal operating conditions, when the operator
commands downward travel of the block from a stopped Joystick Command
condition, (where the motors are supporting the load) the

ADS control system will accelerate the block following the
velocity profile. To achieve the fastest acceleration possible, Scale Joystick Command 0-100%

limitations). Hookload

5.2 Maintaining Maximum Velocity:

The maximum velocity is determined from the position
and inertia of the load, the available braking resistor
Hoisting or Lowering the Block
capacity, and the motor power limitations Once the
block has been accelerated to the maximum lowering
velocity, the velocity is maintained (and over speed is
prevented) by utilizing the velocity control of the VFD
system.
5.3 Decelerating and Stopping:

As the Driller continues to command lowering, the block will continue to travel down at the
commanded velocity until reaching the lower travel stop. The Driller can stop the block before
reaching the lower travel stop by returning the control joystick to the center position thereby
commanding zero velocity. The block will decelerate to zero velocity per the velocity profile and
sufficient motor torque is applied to hold the load.
5.4 Lowering with Manual Control

In the event the control system is not functional to lower the block, the manual brake pressure
control valve located on the drawworks skid can be used to release the brakes and lower the load.
There must be sufficient air pressure to release the brakes. If there is no air pressure the brakes
will remain engaged.

Revision 02
Page 15
6 HOISTING THE BLOCK

6.1 Accelerating:
Under normal operating conditions, when the operator commands upward travel of the block from
a stopped condition (where the motors are supporting the load) the ADS Control System will
command the VFDs to accelerate the block upward. The velocity command to the VFD is ramped
as calculated by the ADS Control System until either the velocity indicated by the control joystick
position or a maximum velocity (limited by equipment constraints such as motor power limitations)
is achieved.
6.2 Maintaining Maximum Velocity:

The maximum velocity is determined from the position and inertia of the load, and the available
capacity of the motors. Once the block has been accelerated to the commanded hoisting velocity,
the velocity is maintained by utilizing the VFD system.
6.3 Decelerating and Stopping:

When the blocks reach the hoisting deceleration point, the motors are used to decelerate the load
safely to the high travel stop (as calculated to prevent fouling or birdnesting the drill line). When
the velocity drops to zero, sufficient motor torque is applied to hold the load.

7 BRAKE TESTING
7.1 Brake Capacity Testing
The Driller can test the drawworks brake to ensure the brake has the holding capacity to hold
rated load. The test should be performed before any heavy lift. With the drawworks parked and
with an empty traveling assembly, press the Brake Capacity Test button on the Drawworks Status
Screen.
The system will perform a torque transfer from brake to the motors and then record the torque
required to hold the traveling assembly load. Once the per motor holding torque value is known
the system then sets the brake. Once the brake is engaged (checking to make sure the pressure
is less than 5 psi) the motor torque is ramped to the torque limit required to test that brake section
by giving a very small block hoisting speed command (2 ft/min) and a torque limit (equal to the
torque limit required to test the brake) to the drive. The system looks for movement of the drum
by monitoring the drum encoders. If movement is less than 7,000 counts after 15 seconds the
system passes and the pass indicator is illuminated for the brake and will stay on until the test is
performed again. If the system slips by 7,000 encoder counts or 16.61 degrees of drum
movement the brake fails and the fail indicator is illuminated for the brake and will stay on until the
test is performed again. (If the brake slips at a speed of 2 ft/min for the 15 seconds of the test
there would be approximately 75,000 counts).
Note: Due to the input shaft torque limit the drawworks system cannot apply torque up to the
rating of the brake.
Once the brake has been tested the system zeros the speed command and returns to park.

Page 17
A brake capacity percentage is calculated. A Reduced Hook Load Capacity is calculated by

taking the Capacity (decimal format) from the brake (Tmotor_total) times the rated hook load for the
system.
7.2 Brake Slip Test (Brake insufficient to hold load)

Every time the system is parked the control system checks to ensure that the load is supported by
the brake before turning off the drive. If movement is detected (9.5º of drum movement) the motor
torque limit is ramped back to maximum (with a zero motor speed command), the motor/ VFD is
not turned off and the following warning message is displayed.

7.3 Brake Burnishing

In the event that a friction brake on the drawworks does not pass a brake capacity test, and
the brake has been adjusted for wear, the driller will be able to perform a brake burnishing
to increase the brakes holding torque. To burnish the brake the drill line must be removed
from the drum. Once the line is removed from the drum the driller can initiate burnishing
mode by selecting Calibration and then select Brake from the Menu bar. The screen below
will guide the driller through the burnishing procedure. The Driller will set a pressure for the
brake using the pop up keypad when selecting “Pressure Setpoint” from the screen. The
Driller will operate the drawworks from the chair while one service technician monitors the
temperature of the brake discs. Please reference the Drawworks Operators Manual for the
pressures, speed and temperatures needed for the burnishing of the brake. Care should
be taken to not exceed the temperature limit of the brake discs.

8 APPLICATION OF BRAKES, EMERGENCY STOP

Based on hardware faults and/or process conditions or variables the ADS controller may initiate
stop sequences. The ADS control system can perform four types of stops.
8.1 Category 0 Stop (as per IEC 60204-32 section

9.2.2)
A Category 0 Stop is defined as stopping by immediate Category 0
removal of power to the hoisting machine actuators (i.e.

an uncontrolled stop). When a Category 0 Stop is Normal Operations

8.4 Soft Trip

The Soft Trip is an operational condition that occurs when the ADS system detects a non-critical
failure. When a Soft Trip occurs an alarm is immediately issued to the HMI. With an active Soft
Trip the system prevents the block from traveling at more than 25% of the currently entered
maximum speeds (for hoisting and lowering).
If the block is traveling at more than 25% of speed when a Soft Trip occurs the alarm is given but
the system continues to operate at the normal speed until the speed is reduced below 25%
manually by the driller or automatically by the system when approaching the travel limit. Once
below 25% of full speed the system clamps any further commands from the driller.
At any time the driller can enable traveling speeds over 25% by holding the joystick past 25% of
commanded speed and pressing and releasing the override button. The limitation will re-engage
as soon as speed is reduced again.
If the system is parked while a Soft Trip is active the driller can only release park brakes again by
pressing and holding the override button while issuing the “release park brakes” command. Once
park brakes are released and the load is transferred to the motors the system will continue to be
in Soft Trip mode.
Conditions leading to a Soft Trip:
 Gearbox Lubrication Pressure Low Trip

 Brake Air Supply Pressure Low Trip
Refer to the Alarm & Fault Response Specification for a complete listing of conditions that result in
a Soft Trip.
9 ASSIGNING THE ADS

The assignment of the ADS is made via the Amphion HMI screen.
10 BLOCK POSITION CALIBRATION

The Driller enters into the position calibration mode via HMI screen selection. While in the Block
Position Calibration Mode, ALL position based limits and safeties are disabled and the Driller is
notified via HMI of this condition. The lower travel limits and upper travel limits are disabled until
the block position calibration is completed.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 23
11 POSITION/TRAVEL LIMITS
The ADS control system provides travel limits based on the position of the blocks in the derrick.
Two travel limits are set near the top of allowable travel, and two are set at the bottom. All travel
limits are configurable by the operator. The upper limits are limited to be below the bottom of the
crown and the lower travel limit is limited by the drill floor at zero. All travel limits are overridden
when in the Block Position Calibration and Slip & Cut modes. When in Autodrilling the lower
travel limit is the drill stop point setting which is only active when the Autodriller is enabled. The
drill stop point can be set below the level of the floor to maximize drilling with links tilted out.
The ADS also utilizes a crown saver pneumatic toggle valve which, when contacted by the wire
rope as the block approaches the crown, triggers an immediate Category 0 stop. The pneumatic
circuit is vented and the E-Stop circuit reset by pressing the override push button while the toggle
valve is manually returned to its normal position. When the crown saver toggle valve is activated
or whenever a Category 0 stop occurs while hoisting the block, a large warning window appears
on all HMIs of the chair with Drawworks ownership. The warning indicates that the drill line may
have birdnested as the result of a Category 0 Stop while hoisting and that a visual inspection of
the drum must be performed before continuing operations.
12 SYSTEM OVERRIDE
The Driller has the ability to override the ADS Control System by pushing and holding an override
pushbutton located on the Driller’s chair console. When the system is operating in override mode,
the travel limits are inactive and the system is allowed to operate at maximum speed.
13 SYSTEM OPERATING MODES

13.1 Normal
Normal mode is used for most operations. When the Control System is in the normal mode the
joystick control is scaled to the Driller defined maximum speeds. All position based travel limits
are active.
13.2 Slow Mode

Slow mode is used for fine position control. During slow mode the joystick controls are scaled to
the driller entered maximum up to 20 ft/min. All position based limits and safeties are active.
13.3 Slip & Cut Mode

During Slip & Cut Mode, the drum speed is limited to the driller entered value (maximum drum
spool speed) and all position based limits and safeties are disabled. A notification/ warning is sent
to the Driller’s Amphion screen indicating the system is in Slip & Cut Mode. All brake functions
are as normal.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 24
13.4 Brake Only Mode

The Brake Only mode allows the Driller to lower the block to secure the drillstring in the event of a
failure of the VFD system or motors. Brake Only mode is the default mode of operation achieved
by the system automatically when there is a Category 2 trip that involves a failure in the VFDs or
motors. Using a Brake Only mode category 2 stop the system decelerates the load in a controlled
manner following the velocity profile. Brake Only mode can also be manually selected from the
screen. When in brake only mode the Driller can select to turn "ON" the drawworks and the
system will start the lube pump. Velocity is limited to keep the lowering power to 100 HP.
13.5 Mast Lift Mode

Mast Lift Mode is used to operate the drawworks during mast lifting operations. During Mast Lift
mode the block speed is limited to 10 ft/min. All position based limits and safeties are disabled.
The radio control unit can be used to lift the mast.
14 MAXIMUM PULL LIMIT

A maximum pull limit can be entered by selecting the max pull limit button on the Drawworks
Operator screen. While hoisting the block, the system will slow and ultimately stop the block as
the hook load approaches the entered pull limit. The torque is not limited in any way as a result of
the maximum pull limit and the system is allowed to lower.
15 5TH LAYER PROTECTION

To protect the drawworks drum while hoisting the block, the system will slow and ultimately stop
the block when the wire line reaches the end of the fourth layer if the hook load is too heavy. The
system will use the hook load measurement to determine if the load is too heavy for 5 th layer
operations. The maximum load allowed to be lifted on the fifth layer is based on 45,000 pounds
fastline pull. The torque is not limited in any way as a result of the 5 th Layer Protection and the
system is allowed to lower.
16 MINIMUM HOOK LOAD

A minimum hook load can be entered by selecting the min hook load button on the Drawworks
Operator Screen. The system will perform a Category 0 stop if the measured hook load
decreases to the entered value.
17 BRIDGE PROTECTION
Bridge protection is provided by allowing the Driller to enter a drag limit that is used in conjunction
with hook load feedback to calculate a velocity limit during lowering. As the hook load approaches
the Drag Limit Setpoint the block is slowed. If the limit is reached while block is moving, the
speed setpoint is zeroed. The system will perform a Category 0 stop if the measured drag is 1.5
times the setpoint drag limit and the block is still moving. The system auto-disables bridge
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 25
protection when 5 foot from lower stop (for setting slips when tripping) and re-enables when block
is raised 5 foot above lower stop. The system will automatically zero the Drag when the system
begins to lower after it has been hoisted to a height 5 feet below the upper stop point. If the block
has not been hoisted to within 5 feet of the upper stop point the system will not auto zero Drag.
www.nov.com
Revision 02

18 ELECTRONIC DRILLER MODE

The Electronic Driller is one of the Operating Modes of the ADS Control System. Auto-drilling
selection is made through any of the Driller’s HMI screens. The Electronic Driller is designed to
provide a constant drilling state at the bit. This constant state is achieved through closed-loop
control of a selected primary drilling parameter (usually WOB or delta-P) and the ability to regulate
the AC motors for a continuous feed of the drill line. Further drilling control is provided by
continuously running secondary control parameters of ROP and torque. These parameters
provide the necessary control for a steady state during unexpected events, such as a drilling
break or stick-slip situation. This closed loop control is utilized to regulate the AC motors. The
main benefit of the Electronic Driller is to provide a system capable of significantly improving the
efficiency of drilling operations (as measured by time to depth and number of bits used) over
conventional control of the drilling rig equipment.
The Electronic Driller has four modes of control, which can be activated individually or in
combination to form the optimum drilling control for the Driller. The Rate of Penetration or ROP
controller is always active during auto drilling and serves as a limit to the maximum drilling rate
allowed. The four individual modes of control are:
18.1 ROP Mode

The ADS Control System will control the rate of drum rotation (descent of the traveling equipment)
to maintain a preset rate of penetration. This control mode is useful when setting the bit on the
bottom or when drilling soft formations where controlling the penetration rate is important in drilling
a consistent hole.
18.2 WOB Mode

to maintain a preset constant weight on bit.
18.3 Delta P Mode

to maintain a preset pressure in the standpipe. This control mode is useful when utilizing down-
hole motors. The delta standpipe pressure is an indication of the drilling bit’s reaction torque into
the formation.
18.4 Torque Mode

to maintain a preset top drive torque. This control mode might be used to increase the life of PDC
bits and can also be used to reduce the possibility and effects of slip stick.
The WOB, Delta P and Torque controllers can be turned on individually, but will probably be
combined to form ideal drilling combinations. For example, WOB and ROP will be used most
often to smoothly control the movement of the drill string and maintain constant WOB. Delta P
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 27
and ROP will be used when drilling with down hole motors and desiring to limit rate of penetration.
With either of the above, torque could be added to reduce the possibility of stick-slip occurring.
The system will use regenerative braking as required to control the rate of drum rotation.
19 AUTO REAMING MODE

Auto Reaming selection is made from the Drawworks Operator Screen. The following Setup
menu is displayed.
The driller enters a pull limit, hoisting speed, lowering speed and reaming distance. When the
auto ream feature is enabled, once the elevator height has reached the drill stop point the system
will automatically hoist at the entered hoisting reaming speed until the block has traveled the
reaming distance at which time the block will be lowered at the lowering reaming speed until the
elevators reach the drill low stop point. The system will continue to ream until the driller turns auto
reaming off or until he takes control of the system with the joystick. While lowering the block
during auto reaming, the WOB, Torque and Delta P functions work as they do when Auto Drilling.
The ROP is controlled to the lowering reaming speed as entered by the driller. While hoisting the
block, the system will slow and ultimately stop the block as the hook load approaches the pull
limit.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 28
20 HOOK LOAD MEASUREMENT

This system has a triple redundant dead line load cell (located in the deadline anchor). The triple
redundant deadline load cell is used to determine acceleration rates and velocity limits.
Below is the Hook Load Diagnostic screen:
Each measurement is independent; the system does not average the load between all the
sensors. The Driller can disable faulted sensors. Only one sensor is master. The system will
alarm if the sensors read more than a given amount of difference. If more than one sensor is
faulted, or if all of the sensors read more than a defined amount of difference, the drill can select
to run on one sensor. Running on one sensor is intended as a temporary condition to overcome
the failure of two of the measuring sensors during a well emergency. An alarm will be displayed if
the system is operated on only one hook load sensor.
www.nov.com
Revision 02
Page 29
20.1 Entering a Tare Weight

The driller has the ability to enter a tare weight for the hook load sensors. The value that is
typically chosen is the empty traveling assembly weight. This ensures that the starting weight is
the same for each of the hook load measuring sensors.

21 ADS CONTROL SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION

The ADS electrical design takes into account the hazardous area classification of a particular
drilling rig installation. Electrical and control system designs have been chosen to satisfactorily
meet or exceed the requirements of their respectively classed areas.
The ADS utilizes (IEC / CENELEC) Ex electrical components and is constructed according to IEC
standards for marine applications. All hardware is rated for IP 56 min apart from the NOV drilling
motors which are rated IP 44 (drilling motor junction boxes are rated IP56).
Notes:
1. All externally mounted systems are suitable for a Zone 1 application except the brake
servo valve control assembly which is Zone 2.
2. Auxiliary motors are 460-480 VAC, 60 HZ.
3. Standard NOV world class cable will be used on the skid
The ADS Amphion Controller is located in one of the two NOV Multi Tool Control cabinets (MTC)
housed in the Drill Floor LER, these MTC’s form an integral part of the Drilling Control & Drilling
Acquisition System (DCDA). The Amphion controller is based on a NOV Single Board Computer.
The controller with its associated software provides the safe operation of the ADS. The Amphion
controller is designed to communicate to field devices via Profibus DP utilizing Remote I/O. The
Profibus Remote I/O technology minimizes cabling and provides the flexibility to utilize smart type
sensors / devices. Communications between the MTC cabinets and the ADS Skid is done on a
