R P C Advanced monitoring and control of sucker-rod pumping units

Overview F e a t u r e s

Current
Load cell sensors
Inclinometer
The RPC controller accepts feedback from
a load cell, inclinometer, and current
sensors to measure rod load, rod position,
and motor torque. The unit is shown with
an optional cellular modem for remote
telemetry. An antenna connection is
provided. Four configurable I/O points
with plug-in converters accommodate a
wide variety of AC and DC voltages as
well as relay contact outputs.
The Unico RPC Rod Pump
Controller provides economical
pump-off control of sucker-rod
pumping systems. Using
sophisticated modeling and
control software and a powerful
digital signal processor (DSP),
the RPC controller computes
surface and downhole con-
ditions to best regulate the
starting and stopping of the
pump via a separate motor
controller. Comprehensive
monitoring and reporting
capabilities provide real-time
surface and downhole
dynamometer plots, daily
gauging, fault and event
logging, a user-configurable
data sampler, and more.
Wireless, radio, cellular,
and satellite options allow
monitoring at any distance.
With optional GMC® Web-
based telemetry software,
users can monitor multiple
fields simultaneously from
virtually anywhere in the
world. RPC units are rugged
and have been designed to
withstand the harsh environ-
ments of the oil patch.
