Labview interface for oil drilling rigs

This paper describe a HMI interface used for monitoring and control of drilling rig applications. The software used is an embedded solution developed with LabVIEW graphic oriented software which provides a flexible and reliable support for SCADA. The today's trend in drilling operation imply a larger use of computer added monitoring and control aiming to secure higher levels of efficiency and safety. the HMI presented in this paper is oriented to offer a complete view of status parameters for diesel generators and electrical drives of the drilling rig.
