Features

The ScadaPOC works by measuring polished rod load and position to generate dynamometer cards. These dynamometer cards are then processed in a flexible algorithm to determine when the pump is not being filled completely.

The ScadaPOC also has the capability to calculate downhole dynamometer cards, allowing it to display and control off of what is happening deep down at the pump.

Many types of equipment problems show up in the dynamometer cards along with the lack of pump fillage. The ScadaPOC has the diagnostic tools that analysts need to diagnose when problems occur. These diagnostic tools include event logging, tied to a history of alarm and failure cards, and configurable general purpose data trending.

Pumping Speed Control

The new ScadaPOC’s capabilities go beyond simply starting and stopping the pump. When paired with a Variable Frequency Drive, it can also regulate the pumping speed to match the well’s production rate.

Flexible Configuration

Not every field operation works in the same way. A one-size-fits-all POC solution doesn’t allow operators to change how their controllers work for them.

The ScadaPOC has the flexibility that allows users to customize their controllers to their fields. Instead of forcing users to use a specific type of load and position sensor, or one type of VFD, the ScadaPOC supports different types of sensors and VFDs.

Users can change many of the details of how their controllers work. The ScadaPOC also has user-configurable alarm and event handling. By learning how the one general-purpose structure is configured, a user can take control and tune the ScadaPOC to their operation’s methodology.

Ladder Logic Programming

Users can add to the flexibility and controllability of the ScadaPOC as it now allows users to program additional features using standard ladder logic.

Operators can add additional I/O modules to the ScadaPOC to monitor and control other well site equipment with these ladder logic programs. Instead of adding separate controllers to suit their needs, users can expand their own ScadaPOC’s functionality.

SCADA Support

When used as part of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, operators can oversee their fields, know about problems quickly, and can gather accurate field data in all sorts of weather. This also gives oil field managers and engineers the tools they need to determine where to spend company resources. The ScadaPOC has flexible serial as well as Ethernet ports for different types of host communication networks.

Accurate and Reliable Load and Position Data for Consistent Operation

The ScadaPOC gets consistent and reliable information from a variety of load and position transducers. Use the type of load and position transducers you want. It's your choice.

• The ScadaPOC uses a 16-bit, wide dynamic range, differential voltage input for measuring loads from a variety of bridge type transducers
  • An assortment of load cells are pre-programmed into the ScadaPOC. The parameters for new types of load cells can also be entered by the user.
  • Beam mounted strain gauges are supported by the wide dynamic range of the load input as well as a proven compensation algorithm.
• The ScadaPOC uses a 16-bit analog input for measuring polished rod position from different position transducers including potentiometers, inclinometers, and switches.
  • The ScadaPOC firmware compensates for drift, noise, and signal delay to handle various inclinometer types.
  • For switches, the ScadaPOC can generate position information from different built-in pumping unit position profiles, or from a base stroke (where the position is established using a temporary potentiometer). The position switch can be mounted to trip anywhere within the stroke and the timing easily and accurately adjusted on the user interface.

Ruggedized Components for Oil Field Installations

Designed to comply with UL, NEC and NFPA requirements, the ScadaPOC can be sold separately or built in a UL 508A Listed control panel.

• NEMA 4 rated mild steel enclosure or polycarbonate NEMA 4X enclosure.

Graphical User Interface

EZViewer2 gives the user easy access to basic and advanced ScadaPOC functions and data displays.

• Runs on Windows XP through Windows 10 desktops, laptops and tablets.
• A setup wizard efficiently guides users through the steps of setting up their ScadaPOCs.
• Optional built-in display. To reduce installation costs and increase site security the HMI software can be run on a laptop or tablet.
• One HMI display can be used for all of the sucker rod pumps on a multi-well pad.

AutoCom and MODBUS Communication

The ScadaPOC communicates to a variety of host computer systems using the high performance AutoCom protocol.

• Optimized host communication performance for large data transfers including dynamometer cards.
• AEPOC compatible register translation for legacy host support.
• Configurable serial port to allow the ScadaPOC to use a wide variety of data radios and modems.
