Computer added monitoring of drilling rig systems

This paper describes a computer added system for monitoring and control for inland and offshore drilling rig applications. LabVIEW graphic oriented software provides a flexible and reliable support for SCADA. World wide drilling is developing for oil, gas or water resources and is demanding computer added monitoring and control for correct exploitation and safe use. This applied engineering software offers a complete monitoring for diesel generators of the local power station and electrical drives of the drilling rig.
