Abstract

A monitoring system for data collection in an industrial drilling environment comprising a data collector communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels and to network infrastructure, wherein the data collector is sensitive to a change to a parameter of the network infrastructure within the environment; a data storage structured to store a plurality of collector routes, each comprising a different data collection routine, and collected data that corresponds to the input channels; a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values from the collected data corresponding to one of the input channels; and a data analysis circuit structured to analyze the collected data from the plurality of input channels and evaluate a selected collection routine of the data collector, wherein the selected collection routine is switched to a second collection routine due to the data analysis circuit detecting a change to a network infrastructure parameter.

Claims (35)

1 . A monitoring system for data collection in an industrial drilling environment, the system comprising:

a data collector communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels and to a network infrastructure, wherein the data collector is sensitive to a change to a parameter of the network infrastructure within the industrial drilling environment;

a data storage structured to store a plurality of collector routes and collected data that correspond to the plurality of input channels, wherein the plurality of collector routes each comprise a different data collection routine;

a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values from the collected data, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to at least one of the plurality of input channels; and

a data analysis circuit structured to analyze the collected data from the plurality of input channels and evaluate a selected collection routine of the data collector based on the analyzed collected data,

wherein the selected collection routine is switched to a second collection routine due to the data analysis circuit detecting a change to a network infrastructure parameter.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the detected change to the network infrastructure parameter is a change in network bandwidth or a change in quality of service.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the industrial drilling environment comprises a plurality of drilling machines across which the network infrastructure is communicatively connected.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the detected change to the network infrastructure parameter is a change to distributed equipment functionality across the industrial drilling environment.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the distributed equipment functionality comprises drilling equipment.

6 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the distributed equipment functionality comprises network infrastructure equipment.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of input channels comprises a first input and a second input connected to a first sensor and a second sensor, where the first input and second input are multiplex switchable to a plurality of output channels comprising a first output and a second output.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of input channels is connected to a sensor, the sensor measuring an operational parameter from an industrial drilling component, wherein sensor is a tri-axial sensor connected to multiple input channels for monitoring different positions associated with one of a plurality of industrial drilling components.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of input channels provides for a gap-free digital waveform from which the data analysis circuit detects the change to the network infrastructure parameter.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data analysis circuit analyzes a first and a second of the plurality of input channels for a relative phase determination from which the data analysis circuit detects the change to the network infrastructure parameter.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data analysis circuit provides for band-pass tracking associated with distributed equipment functionality from which the data analysis circuit detects the change to the network infrastructure parameter.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the data storage is structured as a distributed data storage across a plurality of locations within the industrial drilling environment.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the collected data is communicated from the plurality of input channels through the network infrastructure along a data communication path, wherein the data communication path is stored in the data storage.

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of input channels is connected to a subset of a plurality of sensors, and the selected collection routing is switched to change data collection from a first set of the plurality of sensors to a second set of the plurality of sensors.

15 . A computer-implemented method for monitoring data collection in an industrial drilling environment, the method comprising:

providing a data collector communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels and to a network infrastructure, wherein the data collector is sensitive to a change to a parameter of the network infrastructure within the industrial drilling environment;

providing a data storage structured to store a plurality of collector routes and collected data that correspond to the plurality of input channels, wherein the plurality of collector routes each comprise a different data collection routine;

providing a data acquisition circuit structured to interpret a plurality of detection values from the collected data, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to at least one of the plurality of input channels; and

providing a data analysis circuit structured to analyze the collected data from the plurality of input channels and evaluate a selected collection routine of the data collector based on the analyzed collected data,

wherein the selected collection routine is switched to a second collection routine due to the data analysis circuit detecting a change to a network infrastructure parameter.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the detected change to the network infrastructure parameter is a change in network bandwidth or a change in quality of service.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the industrial drilling environment comprises a plurality of drilling machines across which the network infrastructure is communicatively connected.

18 . A monitoring apparatus for data collection in an industrial drilling environment, the apparatus comprising:

a data collector component communicatively coupled to a plurality of input channels and to a network infrastructure, wherein the data collector is sensitive to a change to a parameter of the network infrastructure within the industrial drilling environment;

a data storage component structured to store a plurality of collector routes and collected data that correspond to the plurality of input channels, wherein the plurality of collector routes each comprise a different data collection routine;

a data acquisition component structured to interpret a plurality of detection values from the collected data, each of the plurality of detection values corresponding to at least one of the plurality of input channels; and

a data analysis component structured to analyze the collected data from the plurality of input channels and evaluate a selected collection routine of the data collector based on the analyzed collected data,

wherein the selected collection routine is switched to a second collection routine due to the data analysis component detecting a change to a network infrastructure parameter.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the detected change to the network infrastructure parameter is a change in network bandwidth or a change in quality of service.

20 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the industrial drilling environment comprises a plurality of drilling machines across which the network infrastructure is communicatively connected.
