Amphion™ Overview 2
Tool Ownership
This section contains information about Amphion tool ownership, and is intended to
provide rig personnel with a basic understanding of the concept of tool ownership and how
it affects rig operations.

i
Amphion tools can be controlled from operator
workstations using joysticks, discrete switches, and
touchscreen controls. Control of a particular tool is limited
to one operator (workstation) at a time for safety reasons.

All tools affected by Amphion tool ownership are “owned” by the system at startup.
Consequently, before a tool can be controlled from any workstation, the operator must
submit an ownership request by pressing the Ownership button located on the tool
screen. Once a workstation assumes ownership of a tool, that workstation retains
ownership; Subsequent ownership requests from other workstations are invalid until
ownership is released.

i
To prevent untimely operation shutdowns due to hardware
or power failures that affect workstation controls, the
controller releases tool ownership only from those
workstations affected by the failure. Hardware or power
failures that do not affect tool operation will not cause tool
ownership release.

Ownership Controls and Status

Where applicable, tool screens contain an Ownership button. The button’s color and text
indicates its ownership status.

R A green ownership button with a text display “Available” indicates the tool is
available for ownership. Your station can assume ownership only if the button is
enabled, and the word “Take” appears along the bottom of the button.

If the text “Ownership” appears in white and the button is disabled, your station
cannot assume ownership of the tool.

If you are unable to take ownership because your station already has ownership of
another tool, the name of that tool appears in white text along the bottom of the
button.

R An orange ownership button indicates the tool is owned by one of the operators,
and the text indicates the workstation that currently owns the tool.
R A red ownership button indicates an emergency stop is engaged, and the tool is
unavailable.
Granting and Releasing Ownership
Before granting tool ownership to a workstation, the controller verifies that the following
conditions are met:
R The IP address of the workstation requesting ownership has permission to control
the tool (see "Tool Controllers and Security” below).
R The tool is not owned by any other workstation.
Once an operator is finished using a specific tool, he or she should release ownership of
that tool by pressing the Ownership button again.
Alternatively, use the operator workstation right control panel’s Tool Ownership - Release
All push button.

Tool Controllers and Security

An Amphion™ tool controller (sometimes referred to as an “ATC,” an “SBC,” or a single-
board computer), is a customized computer used to automate machinery in commercial
and industrial environments. Amphion controllers are programmable and contain
processors, memory, communication ports, and other components similar to those found
in most computers. Each tool controller is programmed with the logic required to automate
and monitor a specific piece of rig equipment.
Tool controllers are located in the multi-tool controller (MTC) cabinets. Security for tool
access is based on keys to prevent unauthorized computers connected to the rig network
from controlling a tool.

Additional Components
RigSense and WITS
RigSense is a stand-alone drilling instrumentation system used to provide drillers and
other key personnel with instant access to critical drilling data. It can display, plot, print,
export, and archive up to 255 channels of data, which can be retrieved and viewed over
the entire life of the well.
RigSense transmits and receives Wellsite Information Transfer Specification (WITS)
information. WITS is a communication protocol that enables companies operating different
computer systems to share information using a standard format for data transfer.
RigSense can easily be tailored to any rig’s requirements, and the data can be viewed in
either time- or depth-based format.
See the MD Totco RigSense manual for more information.

System 5 Data Acquisition (V-DAQ™)

Data for RigSense is supplied by V-DAQ, which gathers data from sensors and equipment.
It can apply algorithms to the data, then forward the information to RigSense. V-DAQ and
RigSense communicate using Ethernet.

Electronic Driller System™ (EDS)

NOV’s Electronic Driller System is built into the drawworks and Amphion touchscreen
control systems.
EDS is designed to provide a constant drilling state at the bit, which cannot be achieved
using manual or other types of drawworks braking systems. The constant bit state is
achieved through closed-loop control of selected primary drilling parameters (such as
weight on bit or delta pressure), and the ability to regulate the disc brake for continuous
feed of the drill line. Continuously running secondary control parameters (rate of
penetration and torque) provide additional control necessary for a steady state during
unexpected events, such as a drilling break or stick-slip situation.
The driller can activate modes through the touchscreens, and adjust individual parameter
setpoints. See product-specific NOV EDS documentation, Chapter 7, titled "Drawworks,”
for more detailed information.

i
See MD Totco document number 42TM62-20, titled
“V-DAQ System V Data Acquisition User’s Manual” for

Drawworks joystick forward (Lower) or backward (Hoist).

See section titled "Defining Maximum Block Speeds" on page 7-9, and section titled "Auto
Reaming Setup" on page 7-21.

Defining a Maximum Pull Limit

Use the Max Pull Limit controls to define a maximum hook load weight for the drawworks.
Block speed is reduced as hook load increases toward this limit. If the hook load reaches
this value, the block ramps to a stop. Maximum pull speed limiting is only active in hoist
direction.
The actual measured hook load during hoisting operations may be slightly higher or lower
than the value entered, as the measurement is taken at one end (deadline).

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompress
are needed to see this picture.

The velocity limit does not override the deceleration

rates of the system. Therefore, if the limit is reached
and the system is moving fast, it decelerates
according to the calculated deceleration rate. This
could cause an overshoot of the entered hook load
value. Use caution when running in tight formation.
This protection cannot prevent against over-pull in
every situation. It is ultimately the driller’s
responsibility to prevent over-pull.

Defining Parameter Setpoint Values

The system attempts to achieve as many of the user-defined setpoints as possible for
activated parameters. For example, if WOB and ROP are both active, and the system
reaches the ROP setpoint first, the system attempts to reach the WOB setpoint also. If the
system reaches the WOB setpoint first, attempts to reach the ROP setpoint continue. If
drilling operation speeds increase and WOB decreases (for instance, when encountering
a softer formation), the system again attempts to reach the ROP setpoint value.
Activate the parameter (see section titled "Activating or Deactivating Autodrill Parameters”
above), then press its Setpoint button to display its keypad pop-up window.

Variable Adjustment
The real-time drilling trend display (see section titled "Drilling Trends” below) is driven by
digital signals received at certain intervals. Dampening (also referred to as “time-constant
adjustment”) can improve the readability of the weight on bit (WOB) and delta pressure
displays by limiting the frequency of the display update.

The system begins ( test 1) applying torque to the motors with a very small speed
command and looks for drum movement. Each brake is tested with all air vented from the
spring applied section and 120 psi applied to the air applied section. The torque is limited
to a value that represents maximum load on 8 lines (worst case). The system indicates
pass or fail.
Test 2 applies maximum motor torque to each brake with only the spring applied section
engaged. The motor torque at slip is used to calculate the hook load capacity that that
brake can hold. The total load capacity is calculated by adding the load capacity of each
brake.

Also see Chapter 3, titled "Alarms and Events.”

Alarm Definitions
Trip
Action taken by the control system in response to an abnormal condition.

Abnormal Condition
R The measurement of a process variable that is outside the normal operating
conditions. This value is determined by, or based upon, the recommendations of the
equipment manufacturer.
R Loss of communication with the variable frequency drive (VFD).
R Loss of communication with remote I/O of the drawworks control system.
R Loss of utilities (air supply, cooling water, electrical).
R Failure of an instrument connected to the control system.
Fault
R An instrument failure (i.e. open circuit of analog input)
R A process condition that is determined to be an abnormal condition.
R A condition in which two components on the a same circuit are not in the same state
(for example, a switch and relay not in the same state where monitored).
Alarm
A text message displayed on the alarm banner and the Alarms screen until cleared.
Abnormal conditions, faults, soft trips, and all category stops generate an alarm.

Soft Trip
A condition where continued operation may cause damage to the drawworks or its
associated systems. The trip bit is set, and an alarm triggers, notifying the driller of the
condition. When the driller moves the joystick below the +/- 25% position, commands
above 25% are limited to 25% of the driller-defined maximum. Once the system is parked,
it remains parked until the fault is cleared or acknowledged.

Category 2 Stops
R The first type of category 2 stop is a controlled stop with power remaining available
to the VFDs/motors. Joystick commands are disabled. After drum speed is reduced
to zero rpm, the spring brakes are set. Once they are engaged and the load is
secured, the speed and torque commands to the VFDs are zeroed. If the system
cannot be decelerated by the motors, the friction brakes stop the drum before the
solenoid valves de-energize, and the system initiates a Category 2 - Brake Only
stop (described below).
R The second type is referred to as a Brake Only stop, which is a controlled stop that
reduces joystick movement commands to zero. VFDs shut down, and the friction
brake speed controller decelerates the system to zero rpm. After drum speed
reaches zero rpm, power to the brake system’s solenoid valves is removed, which
sets the spring-applied brakes.
R The third type is referred to as a Category 2 Stop Open Loop stop, which initiates
the same sequence of events as the Brake Only stop, except the friction brake is
applied to achieve a calculated deceleration rate, without speed control. This stop is
initiated when an encoder fault is detected, and the system cannot determine which
encoder is valid.
E-Stop (Category 0)
Category 0 emergency stops immediately remove power to the VFDs and motors
(uncontrolled stop; VFDs trip and coast to a stop), removes pressure from the spring-
applied brakes, and applies full pressure to air-applied service brakes. This stop can be
initiated either automatically by the control system, or by manually pushing the E-Stop
button located on the driller workstation control panel.

For each joystick operational function (hoist, rotate, travel, and arm movement), the
degree of joystick movement determines the speed of PRS movement. For example, if you
move the joystick only slightly, the PRS operates at a slow speed. If you move the joystick
all the way to the end of an axis, the PRS operates at maximum speed.
Movement of the joystick and related PRS destination depends upon the current mode
selection. See section titled "Racker Modes" on page 12-6, and section titled "Joystick

19 Zone Management System (ZMS)

ZMS System Lockout

A red Zone Management System Locked Out display indicates that ZMS is shut off. All
tools have the ability to move in any direction at their maximum speed and distance limits,
without regard to other tools in their path.
Shut ZMS off using the key switch located on MTC cabinet #1.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompress
are needed to see this picture.

Use ZMS controls with extreme caution. The tools ignore

one another when ZMS is not enabled. Tools can enter
zones already occupied and collide with other tools.

Significant risk of equipment damage and danger to

personnel exists when an override is engaged. Failure to
observe and follow proper safe working procedures could
result in serious or fatal injury to personnel, significant
equipment damage, and extended rig down time.

Tool Lockout
A red Lock Out display indicates that the tool has been locked out of the ZMS system.
See section titled "Equipment Lockout" on page 19-4.

Tool Override
A red Override display indicates that the tool override is engaged. See section titled
"Equipment Override" on page 19-3.

Tool Interlock
A red Interlock display indicates that further tool movement is prevented by a ZMS
interlock.

Equipment Override
Press the Override button located at the top of the screen to display the ZMS Equipment
Override screen. Return to this screen at any time by pressing Override.

A red Zone Management System Locked Out display indicates that ZMS is shut off. See
warning in section titled "ZMS System Lockout" on page 19-2.
Equipment overrides can be used to move equipment into zones where ZMS would
normally prevent movement. Operators can engage the override by using touchscreen
controls or the workstation control panel’s push button.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompress
are needed to see this picture.

Use equipment override controls with extreme caution. The

tool ignores ZMS interlocks when its override is engaged,
allowing it to enter a zone already occupied or collide with
another tool. Significant risk of equipment damage and
danger to personnel exists when an override is engaged.
Failure to follow safe work procedures could result in
serious or fatal injury to personnel, significant equipment
damage, and extended rig down time.

For safety reasons, the operator that has ownership of the tool cannot also engage its
override. This requires cooperation between the operator of the encroaching equipment
and the operator of the equipment being encroached upon to actively consent and
maintain the decision to enable movement.
Press and hold the appropriate tool button to engage that tool’s ZMS override.

Equipment Lockout
Press the Lock Out button located at the top of the screen to display the ZMS Equipment
Lockout screen.

A red Zone Management System Locked Out display indicates that ZMS is shut off. See
warning in section titled "ZMS System Lockout" on page 19-2.
Use equipment lockouts (not ZMS lockout) to remove a tool from ZMS calculations (to
perform maintenance, for example). Tools locked out cannot receive “enable” signals from
ZMS, and therefore cannot be moved (except in maintenance mode). The tool becomes
invisible to all other ZMS participants; other tools can enter zones occupied by locked out
equipment and collide with them.
Press the appropriate tool’s Lock Out toggle button to engage equipment lockout. Press
again to disengage.

QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompress
are needed to see this picture.

Locking out a tool using equipment lockout does not

ensure that the tool will not move. Locked out tools can be
moved if the tool is in maintenance mode, or if ZMS is
locked out. Never use ZMS Lockout to disable a tool for
maintenance purposes. Proper lockout/tag out procedures
for electrical and hydraulic systems must be followed
before performing tool maintenance.
