Canrig Top Drive Drilling System

OVERVIEW

The elevator position alarm is designed to warn the driller that the elevator
links are possibly in an overdrill position and could make contact with the racking
board if hoisting of the top drive continues.

COMPONENTS

Handler Rotate Sensor: This sensor detects the position of the pipe handler
assembly. If the pipe handler is in the trip mode position then the elevators are
considered to be in a safe working position.
Note: Proper adjustment of the link tilt clamps must be maintained.

Link Tilt Float/Maintain: If the link tilt cylinders are in the float position then the
elevators are considered to be in a safe working position.

Top Drive Hoist Sensor: This sensor detects air pressure to the drawworks
clutch. If it senses pressure it assumes the top drive is being hoisted.*

Top Drive Elevation Sensor: This sensor is mounted on the torque guide
approximately sixty feet above the drill floor. It is activated as the top drive
passes the sensor.*

ALARMS

If all of the following conditions are true, an alarm will be activated:

1. There is air pressure to the drawworks clutch.
2. The link tilt is NOT in the float position (in the Maintain position).
3. The pipe handler assembly is NOT in the trip position.
4. The top drive is passing the elevation sensor.

The lights on the Driller’s Console will flash and an audible alarm will sound until
one of the above conditions are false.
An alarm banner will be displayed on units equipped with the ADS panel:
“Link Tilt Elevator Warning—Lower Elevators to Center”

If there is air pressure to the drawworks clutch for 20 seconds and repeated for
10 cycles without the elevation sensor being activated then the following
message will appear on the ADS panel:
“ELV ALM POS Sensor has not operated during the last 10 hoisting
operations”.
This may indicate the Top Drive Elevation Sensor may not be functioning.*

 Elevator Position Alarm

TESTING

To ensure the Elevator Position Alarm is operating properly, it should be tested

weekly.*

Test Procedure

1. Ensure the pipe handler is in the drill position.

2. Ensure the link tilt is in the Maintain position.

3. Hoist the top drive.

4. The alarm should be activated when the top drive passes the elevation
sensor, approximately sixty feet above the drill floor.

If the alarm does not activate, check each component to ensure it is functioning
properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Check the PLC for the following conditions:

CONDITION STATUS

Air pressure to drawworks clutch Input I:9.2/14 is OFF

Flex: Output O:9.17/4 is OFF

Link Tilt should not be in Float
Non-Flex: Output O:3.0/15 is OFF
Flex: Output I:9.19/7 is OFF
Handler Rotate Sensor is off
Non-Flex: Input I:7/1 is OFF
Flex Input I:7.0/15 is OFF
Top Drive Elevation Sensor is off*
Non-Flex: Input I:7/2 is OFF

*Top Drive Elevator and Hoist Sensor control system may differ from control system specified.
