Retry logic & error handling
This system was built based on the client's years of field experience testing and operating downhole tools. Every feature addresses real operational challenges—from eliminating command queuing confusion to ensuring emergency stops work instantly.
The result is a robust platform that gives operators complete control, real-time feedback, and comprehensive data logging with the safety interlocks and automation needed for professional tool operations.
Intelligent Command Control
Advanced command system with state verification and automatic retry logic. No more command queuing confusion or half-second delays on critical stops. Every operation is validated before execution with real-time status monitoring.
- Pre-command status verification prevents unsafe operations
- Instant acknowledgment detection with automatic retry
- Emergency stop with triple-send failsafe for immediate response
- Continuous status monitoring with detailed error reporting
Safety interlocks
Comprehensive interlock system protects tools and prevents operator errors. Every command validates system state, tool position, and motor status before execution. No more accidentally running commands at the wrong time.
Calibration Protection
System must be in Ready state. Both valve and pump motors must be Ready, Uncalibrated, or OK before calibration can begin.
Position Verification
Packer and Cutter operations require valve to be in closed position. Pump operations only allowed from Gator or Packer positions.
Motor Status Checks
All pump and valve movements verify motor is in Ready state before sending commands. Real-time monitoring detects non-running states with error popups.
Find Ends Automation
Automated endpoint detection with motion verification, 2-minute timeout protection, and automatic long status query to capture end positions.
No Concurrent Operations
System prevents multiple command routines from running simultaneously. Cannot run pump while finding valve ends, or vice versa.
Automatic Recovery
Built-in retry logic with intelligent timeouts. Calibration offers retry after 5s, stops after 1s, movement commands after 2s. All retries logged to database.
Comprehensive Status Monitoring
Real-time motor controller status with 24 distinct states. System continuously monitors both pump and valve motors, providing instant feedback on operational state, errors, and warnings.
