Ethernet Connection
Connect an Ethernet cable from the BH to a router that can assign an IP Address, or to
a switch or hub behind a router that can assign an IP Address. Connect an ethernet
cable from the local computer to the same device. The router can be connected to the
internet or not, it doesn’t matter.
Look on the front of the Bloodhound panel. Locate the LCD and observe the scrolling
information on the lower right hand corner. An IP and PORT address will scroll by and
appear i.e. 192.168.1.100:23. This is the IP and PORT number that the Bloodhound
has been assigned to by the Gateway or Router.
Start the Gas Chart Program. When the Gas Chart Program is running and chart
appears on the screen, right click on the chart to bring up the “Gas Chart Control Box.”
Click on “Setup” then Click on “Bloodhound” tab. Enter the Local IP PORT number
obtained from the Bloodhound Display into the Local Ethernet or Internet Settings box,
and Check the box labeled “Use Ethernet Instead Of Serial Connection.”
The Gas Chart program will now connect to the Bloodhound using the Ethernet
connection.
Pason Blue Cable
connector not
working
Just because the Pason cable can fit into a connector found on the site does not mean
that the connection will work. Pason advises to always connect the Bloodhound to the
Toolpush Connection Panel on the outside of the Rig Manager’s trailer, or, if that is not
present, then to the Toolpush Computer itself via one of the cables attached to it. (In
the event that Pason does not have somewhere to mount the Toolpush Connection
Panel, they leave cables extending outside of the Rig Manager’s trailer with the RS422
connectors accessible. In that case, they are simply cable ends, so are not labeled.)
Not receiving data
from WITS
Check Register 67. 0 = Communicate to WITS with the Pason handshake (note: zero
DOES work with Rigwatch & TOTCO). 1 = Send with no handshake.
Not getting WITS info
into BH on drillsite
with Autodrill EDR
For Autodrill, external NetburnerEX serial port 0 has to be set to 9600 baud 8N1
Total Gas readings
not going out to WITS
Check Register 12. If this register is 0 the BH will not send the Total Gas out the WITS
interface. If this register is not 0 then the BH will attempt to send total gas to the WITS
interface.
Pason Total Gas
reading is 100 times
higher than
Bloodhound says
Set Register 26 to 100. When sending total gas out to a WITS system, Register 26 will
be the divisor for the gas units. i.e., 100 = gas units / 100. i.e., 1 = gas units / 1. Do
not set this register to 0. The Pason system has a tendency to report gas units 100x
the value received from the instrument.
Want C1, C2 etc.
values to go out to
WITS as PPM.
Set Register 68 to 1. 0 = Send as Gas Units; 1 = Send as PPM
