  • Patent number: 10573159
    Abstract: A cementing system having an engine control module, a transmission control module, a computing device and a display. The engine control module communicatively coupled with a plurality of engine sensors. The transmission control module communicatively coupled with a plurality of transmission sensor. The computing device is communicatively coupled with the display and communicatively coupled, via at least one J1939 data link, with the engine control module and the transmission control module. The computing device is configured to receive data from at least one of an engine control module or a transmission control module, compare the received data to a list of stored codes and in response to the received data matching a stored code, causing the rendering of an alarm message associated with the matched code and/or a warning message associated with the matched code on the display.

  • Patent number: 10253625
    Abstract: A cementing system is provided. A cement slurry dispenser includes at least one control valve, at least one liquid additive pump, and at least one water pump. A computer has a display for an interface screen. The e interface screen displays a list zone of available selectable tests for the cement slurry dispenser and corresponding global selection choices, a detail zone, wherein in response to selection of one of the selectable tests from the list zone, substeps of the selected one of the selectable tests is displayed a local activate button configured to commence only the selected one of the selectable tests displayed in the detail zone; and a global activate button configured to commence all of the selectable tests in the list zone that are indicated as selected by the corresponding global selection choices. The computer implements the tests on the cement slurry dispenser.
