OVERVIEW

The DataDOC is a product that utilizes the digital control channel on the Cellemetry network to transfer remote readings from the oil and gas field directly to you, via the Internet. A common protocol over a serial interface allows the device to gather operational data from flow computers, PLCs, compressor control panels, etc.

Data readings may either be transmitted at preset times, demand polled, or delivered as exception based alarms.  The eLynx web interface completes the package by providing secure access to your data summaries, reports, alarm administration, and trend tools.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The DataDOC interrogates data values from its slave device, (flow computer, PLC, control panel), using one of the several variations of modbus protocol. A three-wire RS-232 connection is used to establish the link between the two devices. Under normal conditions, readings are collected just prior to being reported. The data values are then loaded into a specified message structure and transmitted. Typically, two data values with 12 bits resolution each are transmitted in a single message.  An optional message is available for an extremely large number, and provides 26 bits resolution.

ALARMING IS ANOTHER FEATURE OF THE DEVICE.

When alarming is enabled, values are interrogated once every hour, 15 minutes, 5 minutes or continuously. This allows the device to compare the actual values to configurable thresholds.  If an alarm condition is detected, it is immediately transmitted through the Cellemetry network to eLynx's central data handling facility. A notification is then sent out to the customer's e-mail, alphanumeric pager, or text messaging cell phone.
