Before You Begin

Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of effective point-ofoperation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the operator of that machine.
WARNING
UNGUARDED MACHINERY HAZARD
Do not use this software and related automation equipment on
equipment which does not have point-of-operation protection.
Do not reach into machinery during operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation, and maintenance of
the machine; therefore, only the user can determine the automation equipment and the related safeties and
interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting automation and control equipment and related software for
a particular application, the user should refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations. The
National Safety Councils Accident Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also
provides much useful information.
In some applications, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be provided. This is
necessary if the operators hands and other parts of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous
areas and serious injury can occur. Software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason
the software cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of-operation protection.
Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation protection have
been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties related to
point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software
programming.
Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation protection is outside the scope
of this documentation.
Start-up and Test

Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, the system should
be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify correct operation of the equipment. It is important that
arrangements for such a check be made and that enough time is allowed to perform complete and satisfactory
testing.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD
Before energizing equipment:
Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other
temporary holding means used for shipment from all component
devices.
Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate
injury.
Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment documentation for
future references.
Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.

Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except those grounds installed
according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the U.S.A., for instance). If highpotential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in equipment documentation to prevent accidental
equipment damage.
Operation and Adjustments

The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.1-195 (English version prevails):
Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and ratings of
components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly operated.
It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe operation.
Always use the manufacturers instructions as a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel who have access
to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturers instructions and the machinery used
with the electrical equipment.
Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to the operator.
Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.

Creating and Deleting Pump Profiles

The pump profile contains the information particular to that pump, for example, the control mode, the speed
settings, the fill control settings, the stroke length and stroke length method, the direction of rotation, the downhole
calculation parameters, the rod taper information, and the drive type and settings, etc.
Because each situation and each rod pump is different, a new pump profile must be created for each pump the
Realift Rod Pump HMI software commissions. If this is a networked system, new Realift Rod Pumps can only be
added locally at the server.
Depending on your license you may be able to create only one pump profile. If this is the case, you will delete the
pump profile each time you are finished commissioning a rod pump so that you can create a new profile for the next
rod pump you commission.
To create a pump profile:
1. In the Admin Actions pane in the upper right-hand corner of the Realift Rod Pump HMI Main Menu, click Create
a New Pump.
2. The Enter Pump Information dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 2.4.

TestLocation2) and a Pump ID (for example, TestPump2). The Location and Pump ID text boxes cannot be
empty, are limited to a maximum of 14 characters, and can contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and
hyphens. If the Location or Pump ID entries are invalid, the Realift Rod Pump HMI software displays a
message.
4. Click OK. You are prompted to re-enter your password.
5. Enter your password and click OK. The Realift Rod Pump HMI software creates the new pump profile. While it
is creating the new pump profile, a message is displayed requesting you to wait until it has finished creating the
pump profile.
6. The Location and PumpID appear under Pump List in the Main Menu. Each pump entered into the Realift Rod
Pump HMI database on the same computer is listed under Pump List and can be accessed here for later
modification, as shown in Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5: Pump List: Location and Pump ID
To delete a pump profile:

1. In the ClearSCADA main screen (see Figure 2.3), select the pump you want to delete in the Pump List.
2. Under Admin Actions, click Delete Selected Pump. A Confirm Action dialog box appears requesting that you
confirm that you want to delete the selected pump.

Other colors can also appear in shaded fields:
Green indicates that the Realift Rod Pump is operating as expected, as illustrated in Figure 2.14. In this
example, Run Pump is Enabled in the Realift Rod Pump HMI software, RPC Status is Auto (the HOA switch on
the enclosure is set to Auto), and Drive Status is forward the Realift Rod Pump is running.
Figure 2.14: Green
Yellow indicates that a system parameter needs to be defined or needs attention, as illustrated in Figure 2.15.
In this example, although the Realift Rod Pump is Enabled in the Realift Rod Pump software, the RPC Status
(the HOA switch on the enclosure) is set to Off; turning the switch to Auto makes it possible for the Realift Rod
Pump to run and changes Drive Status to Forward.
Figure 2.15: Yellow
Red indicates that a system parameter requires attention because the Realift Rod Pump has stopped the pump
because of, for example, a well fault, or it indicates a communication problem between network and the Realift
Rod Pump (see Figure 2.16).

Configuring Time and Network Parameters

When you commission a Realift Rod Pump, whether it be a newly installed Realift Rod Pump system or an existing
system, you communicate with the Realift Rod Pump using one of two types of connections:
Direct connection to a Realift Rod Pump system at the well site, using a computer with either a wired or wireless
connection to the system
Networked connection to a Realift Rod Pump system through a server.
The Realift Rod Pump uses a static IP address. When you connect to the Realift Rod Pump over a network, a router
or a DHCP server assigns an IP address to your computer, allowing the computer and Realift Rod Pump to
communicate. The Communication State field in the Connection and Name pane displays Connected.
However, when you connect directly to the Realift Rod Pump at the well site, the IP addresses on the Realift Rod
Pump system and on the computer are unlikely to belong to the same network. So, before you can commission the
Realift Rod Pump system, you will have to configure both the computer and the Realift Rod Pump. You configure the
connection with the Realift Rod Pump using the Time and Network Configuration page.
If your SCADAPack 535 E does not have a valid license, a banner is displayed over the Communications pane of
the Time and Network Configuration page informing you of this fact (see Figure 3.1). If this is the case, contact your
local Schneider Electric representative.
Figure 3.1: Missing SCADAPack 535 E License
To configure the computer and the Realift Rod Pump for a direct connection:
1. Configure an IP address on the computer to work with the IP address on the Realift Rod Pump (see Configuring
the Computer for Communication with the Realift Rod Pump on page 22).
2. Connect the computer to the Realift Rod Pump (Establishing the Connection Between the Realift Rod Pump
and the Computer on page 24).
3. Configure a new IP address on the Realift Rod Pump that works with your network (Changing the IP Address on
the Realift Rod Pump on page 24).
You may also need to resolve conflicts in Location and Pump ID between those displayed in the Communication
pane and those of the Realift Rod Pump to which you are now connected.

9. Select Use the following IP address and enter a new IP address for your computer:
a. Set the first three numbers of the IP address to match the drives address, but set the fourth number to
something different from the Realift Rod Pump IP address (for example, if the drive's IP address is
192.168.0.101, set the computer's IP address to 192.168.0.X, (where X is any number from 1 to 254 other
than 101).
b. Set the subnet mask. Typical values are 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0.
A Default Gateway is not needed.
c. Click OK to save changes and exit from the Control Panel.
3.2
Establishing the Connection Between the Realift Rod Pump and the Computer
This section describes the process for connecting to the Realift Rod Pump using the Realift Rod Pumps factory IP
address (192.168.0.101). After you establish communication with the Realift Rod Pump, you can change the Realift
Rod Pumps IP address to an address that conforms to an appropriate range for your network (see Changing the IP
Address on the Realift Rod Pump on page 24).
To connect the computer to the Realift Rod Pump (when the Realift Rod Pump is using its default IP address):
1. In the Navigation pane, click Time & Network Configuration. The Time & Network Configuration page appears,
as shown in Figure 3.2.
2. In the Target IP Address field of the Communication pane, illustrated in Figure 3.5, enter the IP address of the
Realift Rod Pump. To change the Realift Rod Pump IP address, see Resolving Conflicts in Location and Pump
ID on page 25.
Figure 3.5: Communication Pane
3. If you still cannot connect to the Realift Rod Pump, contact your local Schneider Electric representative.
3.3
Changing the IP Address on the Realift Rod Pump

After you first connect to the Realift Rod Pump using its factory IP address, you can change the IP address to an
address that works with your network.
24
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

The following suggestions will help you determine the new IP address:
If the Realift Rod Pump is connected to an already existing network, it may helpful to choose an IP address
within an appropriate range for that network.
If the Realift Rod Pump is to be connected behind a router to a stationary server, you should configure the
router so that it does not dynamically assign any device to the same IP address as the address given to the
Realift Rod Pump. This can be done by constraining the range of addresses the router uses for DHCP.
To create a new IP address for the Realift Rod Pump:

1. In the Communication pane, click the Change Realift Rod Pump IP Address button (see Figure 3.5 on page 24).
The Realift Rod Pump IP Configuration dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 3.6.
Figure 3.6: Realift Rod Pump IP Configuration
2. Under Value Applied at the Next Power Cycle, set the IP address. One possibility is 10.10.253.30.
3. Set subnet mask. One possibility is 255.255.255.0.
4. Connect to the Realift Rod Pump using the new IP address.
In the Communication pane, the Communication State field, now shaded in yellow, reads Connection Lost. The
Target IP Address field still shows the original IP address.
5. In the Target IP Address field, enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask created for the Realift Rod Pump in steps
2 and 3.
6. In the Communication pane, confirm that the Communication State field, now shaded in gray, reads Connected.
You are again connected to the Realift Rod Pump, now with a new IP address.
3.4
Resolving Conflicts in Location and Pump ID

When you use the Realift Rod Pump HMI software to commission a Realift Rod Pump system for the first time, the
Location and Pump (or Well) ID fields in the Communication Pane, shown in Figure 3.5, should read Default and
Factory. If you have already used the Realift Rod Pump HMI software to commission a Realift Rod Pump system,
the ID fields might display names other than Default and Factory.
When the values in the Location and Pump ID fields do not match those of the Realift Rod Pump you are connecting to,

Setting Time of New Day on the Realift Rod Pump

The Time of New Day is the time of day the Realift Rod Pump system completes collection of a days statistics and
begins collection of a new days statistics. The Time of Day value is the Time Stamp for 60-day stored trends. You
can set this parameter in the Clocks pane, shown in Figure 3.15, when you are commissioning the Realift Rod
Pump.
Figure 3.15: Clocks Pane
The Clocks pane also offers two date and time readings:
Server Date & Time: Current date and time on the computer being used to commission the Realift Rod Pump.
Realift Rod Pump Date & Time: Current date and time on the Realift Rod Pump.
The servers time and date is set through Windows. You can set the Realift Rod Pumps time and date using the
Realift Rod Pump HMI software. The rod pump cannot be enabled when you set the Realift Rod Pumps time and
date.
To set the Realift Rod Pumps time and date:
1. In the Summary pane on the Status page, ensure that the Status of the rod pump is Disabled. If the rod pump is
running, click the box to the right of the Status and wait until the Status changes to Disabled.
2. In the Clocks pane on the Time & Network page, click the Set button to the right of the RPC Date & Time box.
The Realift Rod Pump HMI software sets the Realift Rod Pump time to the server date and time.

Administering Parameter Settings

When you have multiple wells, they may share many of the same parameters. The Realift Rod Pump HMI
commissioning software enables you to save the settings used when you commission a well as parameter sets.
You can then retrieve these parameter sets and transfer them to the new well. Then, instead of commissioning
each well by setting each parameter individually, you only need to change the parameters that are particular to that
well. You can also restore a previous set of parameters to an existing Realift Rod Pump unit.
3.10.1
Saving a Parameter Set

After you enter a set of parameters into the commissioning software, you can save the settings that are stored in
the Realift Rod Pump HMI software. You can then retrieve these parameter sets and transfer them to a new well.
Because only the name of the parameter set is visible when you view a parameter set (see Viewing Parameter Set
Names on page 36), you should ensure that your parameter set name is descriptive enough to identify the
parameters it contains. The settings that are saved in the parameter set are those that are stored in the
SCADAPack 535 E. The following settings, stored in the Realift Rod Pump HMI software, are not saved in the
parameter set and are reset when you open a parameter set:
32
Pump Control Configuration: all parameters
Drive Configuration: all parameters unless the parameter set is from an embedded Realift Rod Pump in which
case the drive configuration and control wiring parameters will need to be configured manually.

Configuring Energy Saving Times

If electricity costs vary during the day, you can use the Realift Rod Pumps energy saving capabilities to schedule
operation for periods when electricity is the least expensive. The Realift Rod Pump system can suspend operation
for a period of time each day to conserve energy and save costs. You can define Begin Time and End Time values
for each day of the week to define the period during which the Realift Rod Pump does not operate. If the defined
Begin Time is equal to or greater than the End Time, Energy Save is inactive.
The Energy Save times are relative to the Realift Rod Pump clock setting in the Clocks Pane (see Setting Time of
New Day on the Realift Rod Pump on page 31). You should verify that the server time matches the Realift Rod
Pump.
To configure energy saving times:
1. Navigate to the Time & Network Configuration page. On the Time & Network Configuration page, the Energy
Save pane is displayed, as shown in Figure 3.22.
Figure 3.22: Energy Save Pane
2. For each day in the Energy Save pane, enter a Begin Time in 24-hour format to mark the beginning of the
period during which the pump jack does not operate.
3. For each day, enter an End Time in 24-hour format to mark the end of the period during which the pump jack
does not operate.
The Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack at Begin Time, and restarts at End Time, resuming normal pump
jack operation. The total time between Begin Time and End Time for a single day cannot exceed 24 hours.

To define the parameters in the General Control pane:
Click Pump Control Configuration in the Navigation pane. The General Control pane is displayed in the Pump
Control Configuration page, as shown in Figure 5.1. The parameters are explained in the following sections.
Selected Control Mode

To set the control mode:
Click Selected Control Mode and select one of the following modes:
Timed: The Realift Rod Pump operates as a timer, running for Pump On Time and stopping for Pump Off
Time, both of which are fixed, user-entered values.
Torque: The Realift Rod Pump system repeats cycles of running until the Torque Fill falls below the Torque
Fill Minimum for the Pump Off Count Limit, remaining off for Pump Off Time. While running, speed is
increased if the Torque Fill is above the Torque Fill Target and decreased if below the target. This control
mode is only supported by systems using the Altivar 71 drive.
Surface: The Realift Rod Pump system repeats cycles of running until the Surface Fill falls below the
Surface Fill Minimum for the Pump Off Count Limit, remaining off for Pump Off Time. While running, speed
is increased if the Surface Fill is above the Surface Fill Target and decreased if below.
Downhole: The Realift Rod Pump system repeats cycles of running until the Downhole Fill falls below the
Downhole Fill Minimum for the Pump Off Count Limit, remaining off for Pump Off Time. While running,
speed is increased if the Downhole Fill is above the Downhole Fill Target and decreased if below.

Setting On & Off Times

In the On & Off Time Settings pane, shown in Figure 5.3, you can set on and off time settings.
Figure 5.3: On & Off Time Settings Pane
To define on and off time settings:
Click Pump Control Configuration in the Navigation pane. The On & Off Time Settings pane is displayed in the
Pump Control Configuration page, as shown in Figure 5.1. The parameters are explained in the following
sections.
Auto Off Time Adjust

Auto Off Time Adjust determines whether the system adjusts Pump Off Time based on operating conditions. The
On setting tells the Realift Rod Pump to add additional Pump Off time if the Fill Status is less than the Fill Target
when it restarts after Pump Off (and completes Pre-Control Strokes). Off Time is added if the wells reservoir is not
given sufficient time to replenish to a point where Fill Status achieves Fill Target after restarting.
Similarly, the Realift Rod Pump subtracts time if the pump fill is greater than the Fill Target after a Pump Off period
and after Minimum Strokes complete.
It is recommended that Auto Off Time Adjust be turned On for routine operation. If this setting is On, you will also
need to configure Auto Adjust Min Off Time and Max Off Time.
Off Time (non-Timed)
Off Time determines the amount of time the system waits in Pump Off mode before restarting in any non-timed
setting (Torque, Surface, or Downhole). Set Off Time to a value that allows the well reservoir to replenish
sufficiently so that the pump jack restarts and resumes at the desired production level. If Auto Off Time Adjust is
on, this value may increase or decrease incrementally as Realift Rod Pump evaluates Fill Status. If Auto Off Time
Adjust is on, the value of Off Time (Non-Timed) cannot be lower than the value of Auto Adjust Min Time. Realift Rod
Pump will automatically change it to match the value of Auto Adjust Min Time.
Off Time (Non-Timed) is defined in minutes (min).
The suggested value at start up is 30 minutes, but can vary depending on the time necessary for the wells
reservoir to replenish.
Auto Adjust Max Off Time
Auto Adjust Max Off Time is the upper limit of Pump Off Time when in Auto Off Time Adjust Mode. Off Time
automatically increases incrementally to adapt to reservoir state until desired Fill Status is achieved or it reaches
the upper limit. The Auto Adjust Max Off Time is defined in minutes (min).
The suggested value is 90 minutes.
45
Realift Rod Pump

Version 3.0c
12/2014
Auto Adjust Min Off Time

Auto Adjust Min Off Time is the lower limit of Pump Off Time when in Auto Off Time Adjust Mode. Off Time
automatically decreases incrementally to adapt to reservoir state until desired Fill Status is achieved or it reaches
the lower limit. The Auto Adjust Min Off Time is defined in minutes (min).
The suggested value is five minutes.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Enter values for Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode)
even if a Control Mode other than Timed is used.
If the load cell, proximity sensor, or both sensors stops transmitting a
signal, the Realift Rod Pump reverts to the next available Control Mode,
which may be Timed mode.
Off Time (Timed Mode)
Because a loss of communication with the load cell or proximity sensor will cause the system to revert to Timed
mode, it is important to define Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode). Set this parameter large
enough for the pump to refill to the desired pump fill before restart. The Off Time (Timed Mode) is defined in
minutes (min).
The suggested value is the time (including Pump On Time) that results in a run percentage equal to or slightly less
than the run time required to keep up with reservoir production.
If it is desired that the system pump off periodically when in Timed mode, you can set Off Time (Timed Mode) to a
non-zero value. Set it large enough for pump fill to increase slightly during the idle period. This will reduce fluid
pound and hammer.
On sandy wells where the pump might bind when stopped, it may be preferable to set the pumping unit to never
stop. If you desire a fall-back state where the system runs continuously, set Off Time (Timed Mode) to zero. In this
case, the Startup speed can be reduced as needed to reduce hammer.
Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode) are not affected by the Auto Off-time adjust.
On Time (Timed Mode)
Because a loss of communication with the load cell or proximity sensor will cause the system to revert to timed
mode, it is important to define Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode).
On Time is the amount of time the pump runs in Timed Mode. Select an appropriate On Time, even if Timed is not
the preferred mode. The On Time (Timed Mode) is defined in minutes (min).
The suggested value is 30 minutes.
Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode) are not affected by the Auto Off-time adjust.

In the Speed Settings pane, illustrated in Figure 5.4, you can set speed values for pump jack operation. You do not
need to set speed setting values when you first configure the pump and run it in hand mode. However, the speed
settings need to be set before the Realift Rod Pump will operate in auto mode. You should enter them after
observing pump jack operation. See Configuring the Pump Jack for Standard Operation on page 73.

Realift Rod Pump

The speed settings are not used if you have selected starter or contactor on the Drive Configuration page.
Figure 5.4: Speed Settings Pane
Startup Speed
The Startup Speed is the system speed when starting in Auto Mode. The system maintains this speed until the
pump completes a selected number of strokes (Pre-Control Strokes), at which point the Realift Rod Pump adjusts
speed to the range defined by Minimum Speed and Maximum Speed. In Timed mode, the system runs at Startup
Speed until it reaches On Time, after which, it stops. The Startup Speed is defined by default in Hertz (Hz), but it
can be changed by clicking the Units for Speed Settings box.
The suggested value is at or above the mid-point of the range between Minimum Speed and Maximum Speed. If
Startup Speed is set to 0, RPC Status displays No-Run.
Maximum Speed
The Maximum Speed is the fastest drive speed when the pump is in Auto Mode and is adjusting the speed based
on the pump fill. It limits the upper end of pump jack speed so that it does not operate faster than the pump jacks
capabilities. The Startup Speed is defined by default in Hertz (Hz), but it can be changed by clicking the Units for
Speed Settings box.
If you are using a generic drive, do not confuse the Maximum Speed setting with Max Speed (Defining the Drive
Interface on page 40), the maximum speed at which the Realift Rod Pump operates under any conditions. Max
Speed takes precedence (defined on the Configuration Page), even if Maximum Speed is set higher.
If you are using an Altivar 71, the Altivar 71 uses the Maximum Speed (defined directly on the Altivar 71 by
selecting 1. Drive Menu > 1.1 Simply Start > High Speed) as the Max Speed when operating in hand mode.
The value varies depending on well conditions, but should not exceed the Max Speed defined on the Drive
Configuration Page (Defining the Drive Interface on page 40).
Minimum Speed
Minimum Speed is the slowest drive speed when the Realift Rod Pump is operating in Auto Mode and adjusting
speed based on the pump fill. The Startup Speed is defined by default in Hertz (Hz), but it can be changed by
clicking the Units for Speed Settings box.
The Minimum Speed varies, but should be set to a point equal to or below Startup Speed.
Units for Speed Settings
Units for Speed Settings determines whether speed is displayed as Hz or SPM (Strokes per Minute).
SPM:Hz Ratio
The SPM:Hz Ratio is a calculated ratio of drive output frequency in Hz compared to the pump jack speed in
Strokes per Minute (SPM). It is strongly recommended that you calculate the SPM:Hz ratio prior to using auto
mode so that the values calculated by Realift Rod Pump correspond to actual measurements. The ratio is
calculated in step 2 of the procedure described in Setting the Fill Control Levels on page 75.

Setting Fill Controls

You need to set two parameters for each control mode used in the Fill Control Settings pane (Figure 5.5). These
parameters are used to determine whether pumping should stop or change speed: Fill Target and Fill Minimum.
The control modes and parameters are explained in the following sections.
Figure 5.5: Fill Control Settings Pane
5.4.1
Torque
If operating in Torque mode, you only need to set the Fill Minimum and Fill Target parameters for Torque. Torque
mode is only supported by systems using the Altivar 71 drive.
Fill Minimum
Fill Minimum provides a point where the Realift Rod Pump system detects a Pump Off state. If the pump fill is less
than the Fill Minimum for the Pump Off Count Limit number of strokes, then the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump
jack and remains idle for Pump Off Time.
The lower the Fill Minimum, the less likely it is that the Realift Rod Pump enters a Pump Off state.
It is recommended that you enter a Fill Minimum from 15% to 30% below the value set at commissioning.
Fill Target
The Fill Target represents the ideal fill level for the rod pump. If the calculated fill status of the rod pump exceeds
the fill target, the frequency of rod pump will increase (up to the defined maximum speed, see Maximum Speed on
page 47). If the calculated fill status is lower than the fill target, the frequency of rod pump will decrease (down to
the defined minimum speed, see Minimum Speed on page 47) until it the pump fill again matches the fill target.
The Fill Target value is determined through observation after configuration is complete and the Realift Rod Pump is
started for initial monitoring. See Configuring the Pump Jack for Standard Operation on page 73.
Fill Status
The Fill Status fields provide ongoing readings of the current Fill Status reported by the Realift Rod Pump.
5.4.2
Surface
If operating in Surface mode, you need to set both Surface and Timed modes. The drive reverts to Timed mode if
the load cell signal is lost.

In the event that the load cell signal is lost and Timed mode is not set, equipment
damage can occur.
Set Timed mode as well, when you are using Surface mode.

Setting Startup Timers

In the Startup Timers pane, illustrated in Figure 5.6, you can define the start times of the timers described in this
section. If a specific timer is not needed, you can disable it by setting its value to 0.
Figure 5.6: Startup Timers Pane
Power Cycle Start Delay

This setting helps prevent multiple pump jacks from restarting simultaneously when power is restored after a power
outage. This guards against high startup current consumption and harmonics. The Power Cycle Start Delay is
defined in seconds (sec).
You should stagger start times of multiple units so that they start one at a time with a suggested interval of
30 seconds between starts.
Start Warning Time
If a start warning indicator (SWI), such as a horn or flashing light is used, you can set the amount of time the unit
delays starting up while the SWI operates. The Start Warning Time is defined in seconds (sec).
Connecting the SWI to the SWI relay is explained in the Realift Rod Pump Hardware Installation Manual.
The suggested time is in the range of five to ten seconds.
Start Reverse Time
In some situations, the pump should run backwards for a partial stroke when it restarts after a Pump Off period to
free any trapped gas. The pump then resumes normal forward operation. The Start Reverse Time is defined in
seconds (sec).

Certain sucker rod pumps are not designed for reverse operation. Attempting to run
these rod pumps in reverse operation can result in equipment damage.
You can set Start Reverse time to run the pump backwards for the desired time. If the SPM value is known, you
can use it to calculate the proper time setting to achieve the desired rotation.
The suggested time is zero to five seconds.

Setting Control Triggers

In the Control Triggers pane, Figure 5.7, set the control triggers as follows.
Figure 5.7: Control Triggers Pane
Pre-Control Strokes
It is usually desirable to allow the pump jack to run for a number of strokes immediately following restart. This
allows the system to reach normal operating state and ignore any initial system instability before the Realift Rod
Pump makes speed adjustments to the pump. The Pre-Control Strokes is defined in strokes.
Suggested strokes vary with time required for any start-up transients to disappear, but a typical value is 20 strokes.
Speed Change Strokes
The number of strokes run between speed changes. The Realift Rod Pump can adjust speed with every stroke;
however, you may prefer that speed be adjusted once every 5 or 10 strokes. The Speed Change Strokes is defined
in strokes.
Speed is adjusted by the amount of the speed range (the difference between Maximum Speed and Minimum
Speed) proportional to how much Fill Status differs from Fill Target. If Fill Status suddenly drops to a value much
lower than Fill Target (for example, from 83% to 55% while Fill Target is 85%) and if speed is set to adjust with
every stroke, the Realift Rod Pump immediately reduces speed by a large amount to minimize fluid pound and
equipment wear.
The suggested setting is one stroke.
Pump Off Count Limit
When pump detects a persistent pump fill at less than the Fill Minimum (as in a Pump Off situation), you should set
the number of strokes the pump continues to run before it finally switches to Pump Off. This allows the pump to run
through temporary gas pockets or other anomalies affecting pump fill but not serious enough to warrant pumping
off. The Pump Off Count Limit is defined in strokes.
The suggested setting is three strokes.

Operating at less than the fill minimum increases the possibility of damage to the rod
pump.
Set the Pump Off Count Limit to a limit low enough to protect the equipment.

Using API Dimensions in Surface or Downhole Mode

Using API (American Petroleum Institute) dimensions is the preferred method for determining Stroke Length in
Surface or Downhole mode. These dimensions are entered in the Pumping Unit Information Pane, shown in
Figure 6.2.
53
Realift Rod Pump

Chapter 6 Configuring Well Data
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Figure 6.2: Pumping Unit Information Pane
API dimensions are a series of six measurements on a typical pump jack, used to calculate Stroke Length based
on the geometry of the pump jack unit:
Rn Distance from the center of the crankshaft to the center of the Pitman Arm wrist pin in inches, where n =
the corresponding pin position
K Distance from the center of the crankshaft to the center of the saddle bearing, in inches
C Distance from the center of the saddle bearing to the center of the equalizer bearing, in inches
P Effective length of the Pitman, in inches
A Distance from the center of the saddle bearing to the center line of the polished rod, in inches
I Horizontal distance between the center line of the saddle bearing and the center line of the crankshaft, in
inches.

Ensure that the pumping unit information is accurate. Inaccurate pumping unit
information can negatively affect the operation of the rod pump and, in some cases
cause equipment damage.
Some pump jack manufacturers provide the API dimensions for the units they manufacture. If this data is available,
enter it into the appropriate fields in the Realift Rod Pump HMI Software. In some instances, the K value may not be
given, but it can be calculated if I, G (distance from crank axis to bottom of frame, in inches), and H (distance from
saddle bearing axis to bottom of frame, in inches) are known, using the following equation.
Figure 6.3: Equation to Calculate K
K=
[(H-G) + I ]
During the installation of the Realift Rod Pump HMI software, a spreadsheet was installed with the API dimensions
of the most common rod pumps. You can find it in the Schneider Electric Realift Rod Pump installation directory.

To enter the API dimensions:

1. Click the Enter API Dimensions button.
2. Enter the appropriate measurements for the particular pump jack.
3. Change Stroke Length Method to Using API. If any of the API dimensions are left blank (i.e., 0), the Stroke
Length Method will be set to Not Using API and cannot be changed until correct API dimensions are entered.
6.2
Setting a Measured Stroke Length (Torque)

When operating in Torque mode (or if API dimensions are unavailable), you will use a measured stroke length. You
use API dimensions whenever operating in Surface or Downhole mode.
Using a measured stroke length assumes that the up and down motion of the rod string follows a sinusoidal
pattern. Differences in pump jack geometry mean this is often not the case, and surface and downhole card shapes
can be distorted. When you set a measured stroke length, you will set the parameters in the Pumping Unit
Information section.

section 6.1: Using API Dimensions in Surface or Downhole Mode on page 53.
Direction of Rotation
Click the Direction of Rotation button and select the direction. The crank arm direction of rotation is either clockwise
or counterclockwise when the pump jack is viewed from the side, as in Figure 6.8, with the polished rod on the
right.
SPM:Hz Ratio Parameter
Click the Calibrate button to have the Realift Rod Pump calculate the SPM:Hz ratio. The SPM:Hz Ratio is a
calculated ratio of motor speed in Hz compared to pump jack speed in Strokes per Minute (SPM). You can also
calculate the SPM:Hz Ratio by counting the actual number of strokes per minute and comparing these to motor
speed. Calibration using this method is discussed in Step 2 on page 78.
6.3
Setting the Proximity Angle

In the Sensor and Enclosure Configuration Data Pane, Figure 6.9, first determine the proximity angle, using the
procedure in this section, and then enter the resultant value into the Proximity Angle field.
Figure 6.9: Sensor and Enclosure Configuration Data Pane
The Realift Rod Pump uses the Proximity Angle to determine the location of the center axis of the Pitman Arm wrist
pin relative to the position at which the crank arm first triggers the proximity sensor. The Proximity Angle is
measured from bottom dead center (BDC) in a counter-clockwise direction when viewing the pump jack from its
side with the polished rod on the right, as shown in Figure 6.4. Figure 6.10, Proximity Angle, Conventional Pump
Jack, shows this in more detail.

Rotation (CCW)
The Proximity Angle should be between 0 and 90 (absolute value) when the proximity sensor is mounted below
the level of the crank axis, as in Figure 6.10. In certain instances it may be necessary to mount the proximity
sensor above the crank axis; if this is the case, the absolute value will be between 90 and 180.
The direction of rotation dictates whether the Proximity Angle is positive or negative. In Figure 6.10, the crank arm
is rotating counter-clockwise and triggers the proximity sensor after it passes BDC. The Proximity Angle in this
instance is positive (+). Alternately, if the crank arm is rotating clockwise, triggering the proximity sensor before
passing BDC, the Proximity Angle is negative (-).
Set the Proximity Angle by determining the point at which the crank arm first triggers the proximity sensor during a
stroke. It is recommended that someone else operate the pump jack hand brake when performing the following
procedure:
1. Using the potentiometer on the Realift Rod Pump enclosure, set pump jack speed at or just above its minimum
value.
2. Using the HOA switch (see Testing Realift Rod Pump System Operation on page 81) place the Realift Rod
Pump in Hand mode and slowly rotate the crank arm.
WARNING
Pump system.
Ensure that the pump jack is stopped with handbrake engaged before
approaching it to make observations, take measurements, or adjust the
equipment.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor or moderate
injury.
3. Switch HOA to Off as the helper quickly applies the pump jack brake, stopping the crank arm just as it triggers
the proximity sensor.

4. After the pump jack is stopped with the hand brake engaged, confirm that the LED indicator on the base of the
proximity sensor is lighted, as shown in Figure 6.11.
Figure 6.11: Location of LED Indicators on Base of Proximity Sensor
With the crank arm held in place by the hand brake, the Proximity Angle can now be determined (see Figure 6.12).
If you have access to a hand-held protractor with plumb-bob or similar tool (there are also a number of smart
phone applications that do this), use this tool to measure the angle from vertical (BDC, or 0) to the center axis
of the wrist pin to obtain the Proximity Angle in degrees ().
RISK OF INACCURATE DATA

The proximity angle is used in calculations to determine the load and the productivity
of the well. Ensure that any tools you use to determine the proximity angle have
been properly calibrated.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in inaccurate data.
If no such tool is available, calculate the Proximity Angle by measuring the distance Y from the crank axis to a
point of your choosing along the vertical axis, then measuring at a right angle from that point to the center axis
of the wrist pin to obtain X (if the proximity sensor is mounted above the Crank Axis, the procedure is still the
same).

Setting the Proximity Angle (Mark II Pump Jack)

The location of the Pitman Arm wrist pin can vary by design. The Mark II pump jack places the wrist pin on the
opposite side of the crank axis from the portion of the arm that is likely to trigger the proximity sensor. The angle
that should be entered is the angle of the wrist pin side of the crank arm relative to BDG when the proximity sensor
is triggered. (see Figure 6.13).

Do not operate the pump jack at speeds too slow to allow for proper
lubrication of the gear box.
2. Slow the pump jack down to the slowest speed at which you intend to operate the unit. This should be roughly
the same as the Minimum Speed as set on page 98, Set Pump Speeds.
3. While operating at slow speed, time the interval necessary for the crank arm to pass completely clear of the
proximity sensor.
4. Set the Proximity Debounce Time to an interval that is longer than the time required for the crank arm to clear
the proximity sensor, but not so long that the sensor cannot reset before the next rotation should speed be
increased during normal operation of the Realift Rod Pump. A debounce time of less than 3 seconds is not
recommended.

Changing the Realift Rod Pump from Auto to Hand mode while it is running resets the current values of the well
alarm detection count to zero, but not the current values of the well fault detection count. Changing the Realift Rod
Pump from Auto to Hand mode while it is in a pump-off state, for example, due to an alarm or a fault state, clears
any existing alarms or faults and causes the pump to restart.

If Pump Off Time is zero it will not shut down due to pump off, unless a per stroke or real-time alarm occurs and, in
that case, then a pump off time of 1 minute will occur following the alarm. If a fault occurs, the pump stops.
When a Well Alarm is triggered, the parameter name is highlighted in yellow. When a Well Fault is triggered, the
parameter name is highlighted in red. In addition, the Well Fault Configuration icon in the Navigation pane is
highlighted and a message appears in the Alarm List on the Main menu page, shown in Figure 2.3 on page 13.
If the undesired condition persists such that Well Alarm Detection Count Current Value reaches Well Alarm
Detection Count Limit Value, a Well Alarm is recorded under the Well Fault Detection Count Current Value and the
Realift Rod Pump enters a Pump Off state. A corresponding alarm message appears on the Realift Rod Pump HMI
Main Menu in the Alarm List window.
If a bypass or external fault is detected during a Pump Off, the pump off time is set to zero and, once the bypass or
external fault condition is removed, the Realift Rod Pump will restart.

Setting Per Stroke Alarm Parameters

Use the settings in the Per Stroke pane, shown in Figure 7.2, to configure Per Stroke alarm parameters.
During initial setup, do not enable any Well Fault parameters. These are addressed in detail in Configuring the
Pump Jack for Standard Operation on page 73.

Realift Rod Pump

Figure 7.2: Per Stroke and Real-Time Alarm Panes
Every Per Stroke alarm operates in the same way: conditions are evaluated by the Realift Rod Pump with each
complete stroke; detection for each parameter does not begin until Startup Ignore is complete.
If the Current Value exceeds the Threshold Value, the Well Alarm Detection Count begins to count strokes. If
the Current Value remains above the Threshold Value for the number of strokes indicated by the Well Alarm
Detection Count Limit Value, a Well Alarm is reported and the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack for one
Pump Off period.
If, upon restarting, the Well Alarm condition has not cleared, another Well Alarm is reported and the Realift Rod
Pump stops the pump jack again for one Pump Off period.
If the number of reported Well Alarms equals the number indicated in the Well Fault Detection Count Limit
Value, the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack again and reports a Well Fault. The pump jack does not
restart until the Well Fault is manually cleared.
For example, if the Threshold Value for High Belt Slip is set at 8% and the Well Fault Detection Count has a
Limit Value of four strokes:
If, on the first stroke, the Current Value is 5%, zero is entered for the Current Value under the Well Alarm
Detection Count.
If, on the second stroke, the Current Value is 10%, one stroke is entered for the Current Value under the
Well Alarm Detection Count.
If, on the third stroke, the Current Value is 10%, a second stroke is entered for the Current Value under the
If, on the fourth stroke, the Current Value is 9%, a third stroke is entered for the Current Value under the
If, on the fifth stroke, the Current Value is 4%, one stroke is removed from the Current Value under the Well
Alarm Detection Count and the stroke count returns to two.
If, on the sixth stroke, the Current Value is 10%, a third stroke is entered for the Current Value under the
If, on the seventh stroke the Current Value is 9%, a fourth stroke is entered for the Current Value under the
Well Alarm Detection Count. The limit value of four triggers a Well Alarm and a Pump Off period.
There are four parameters for Per Stroke alarms, each of which can be enabled or disabled. When commissioning the
Realift Rod Pump, clear the Well Alarm and Well Fault detector check boxes. See Table 7.6 for suggested initial
values.

Setting Real-Time Alarm Parameters

You can use the settings in the Real-Time Alarms pane, Figure 7.2, to configure Real-Time alarm parameters. Not
all alarms apply to all drives; High Torque, Low Torque, Low Output Frequency, and High Motor Power only apply
to the Altivar 71 drive.
Real-Time alarms operate in the same way; detection for each parameter does not begin until Startup Ignore time has
elapsed:
If the Current Value exceeds the Threshold Value, the Well Alarm Detection Count begins to record the
duration. If the Current Value persists above the Threshold Value for the time indicated by the Well Alarm
Detection Count Limit Value, a Well Alarm is reported and the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack for one
Pump Off period.
If, on restart, the Well Alarm condition has not cleared, another Well Alarm is reported and the Realift Rod
Pump stops the pump jack again for one Pump Off period.
If the number of reported well alarms exceeds the number indicated in the Well Fault Detection Count Limit
Value, the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack again and reports a Well Fault. The pump jack does not
restart until the Well Fault is manually cleared.
For example, if the Threshold Value for High Torque is set at 300% and the Well Alarm Detection Count has a
Limit Value of five seconds:
If, on the first second, the Current Value is 250%, zero is entered for Current Value under Well Alarm
Detection Count.
If, on the second second, the Current Value is 310%, 1 second is entered for the Current Value under Well
Alarm Detection Count.
If, on the third second, the Current Value is 330%, an additional 1 second is entered for Well Alarm
Detection Count.
If, on the fourth second, the Current Value is 309%, another 1 second is entered.
If, on the fifth second, the Current Value is 250%, 1 second is removed from the count; the count returns to
2 seconds.
The count continues until the Limit Value of five seconds is reached, triggering a Well Alarm and a Pump Off
period.
The Well Alarm Detection Count for each real-time parameter is reset to 0 if one of the following conditions is met:
The Well Alarm Detection Count for a parameter is reset to 0 after the Well Fault Detection Count increments
and the pump has restarted (for example, after the pump off time has elapsed).
The Well Alarm Detection Count for a parameter is reset to 0 if the external Fault Reset has been triggered or
if the Reset Detection for Well and Drive button has been clicked.
The Well Alarm Detection Count for a parameter is reset to 0 if the parameter, which was disabled, is enabled.
The Well Fault Detection Count for each real-time parameter is reset to 0 if one of the following conditions is met:
The Well Fault Detection Count for a parameter is reset to 0 if the external Fault Reset has been triggered or
if the Reset Detection for Well and Drive button has been clicked.
The Well Fault Detection Count for a parameter is reset to 0 if the parameter is disabled.
There are a total of six possible parameters for the Real-Time alarm (High Torque, Low Torque, and High Motor
Power only apply to the Altivar 71), each of which can be enabled or disabled. You can set each of the Well Alarm

Viewing Sensor Status

If a proximity sensor or load cell signal is lost, the Realift Rod Pump generates a sensor alarm, shown in Figure 7.3,
and automatically reverts to the next available control mode:
If the load cell signal is lost, the Realift Rod Pump reverts to Torque Mode, if the drive type is an Altivar 71,
otherwise the Realift Rod Pump reverts to Timed mode.
If the proximity sensor signal is lost, the Realift Rod Pump reverts to Timed Mode, beginning with a Pump Off
period and the Missed Prox Count increments. When the Missed Prox Count has incremented to 5, an alarm is
generated. Clicking the Reset button resets the Missed Prox Count to 0.
Clicking Load Cell or Proximity Sensor in the Sensor pane displays a graphic with load cell and proximity
sensor data (see Figure 7.4). You can select the values to be displayed by selecting or clearing the check
boxes at the bottom of the dialog box.
See also Off Time (Timed Mode) and On Time (Timed Mode), page 46.

Resetting Detection for Well and Drive

In the lower right-hand corner of the Well Fault Detection page, the Run Time Current Run and the Stroke Count
Current Run are displayed (see Figure 7.5). The Run Time Current Run is the length of time the Realift Rod Pump
has been running since its last Pump Off. The Stroke Count Current Run is the number of strokes since the last
Pump Off.
You can clear selected parameters by clicking the Reset Well Fault Detection Counters button on the Well Fault
Detection page.
Figure 7.5: Reset Well Fault Detection Counters
Additionally, when you click the Reset Detection for Well and Drive button on the Well Fault Detection page, a
digital input on the SCADAPack 535 E (DI-14) is set to True for one second. This digital input can be used to reset
faults on a drive. Consult your drive manufacturers documentation for more information.
If an Altivar 71 is used, when you click the Reset Detection for Well and Drive button on the Well Fault Detection
page, a reset faults command is issued to the drive. This command will clear some faults on the Altivar 71,
provided that the fault condition has been removed. Consult your drive manufacturer's documentation for details.
Messages in the Alarm List on the main menu (see Figure 2.3) can be cleared after Well Fault Detection counters
have been reset by highlighting that message and clicking the Acknowledge Selected Alarm button.

Configuring the Pump Jack for Standard Operation

After you enter Pump Control, Well Data, and Well Fault Detection parameters, you configure the Realift Rod Pump
for standard operation.
Before starting this procedure, you should confirm that:
The HOA switch is Off and the speed potentiometer is set to a speed at or just above the equipments minimum
speed.
In the Time & Network Configuration pages Communication pane, the Communication State field reads
Connected (Configuring the Computer for Communication with the Realift Rod Pump on page 22).
In the Status pages Card Display & Settings pane, the Card Interval is set to a maximum of 10 seconds (Card
Display and Settings on page 94).
After confirming baseline settings for the pump jack and Realift Rod Pump HMI software, use the following
procedure to configure the Realift Rod Pump:
1. Set the speed potentiometer to a point at or just above minimum speed.
2. In the Main Status page, confirm that the Run Pump command is set as shown in Figure 8.1:
Run Pump: Enabled
RPC Status: Hand
Drive Status: Forward
Figure 8.1: Summary Pane: Enabled, Hand, Forward
3. On the enclosure, place the HOA switch in Hand position.

4. Observe that the pump jack moves smoothly and in the proper direction. If abnormal behavior is observed, stop
the pump jack immediately and investigate why operation is not as expected.
5. Wait for the first dynamometer card to appear on the display. Depending on the operating mode of the Realift
Rod Pump (Torque, Surface, or Downhole), use the Set Curve Visibility control to emphasize the correct curve
to view. The first Dynacard after startup may display unusual results. It can be ignored.
6. Observe the dynamometer plot. When viewing a Torque card, the plot may resemble the Torque plot shown in
Figure 8.2.

7. After several dynamometer plots have been generated with consistent results, set the Control Load
parameters:
For Surface Fill Control Level, see Setting the Surface Fill Control Level on page 75.
For Downhole Fill Control Level, see Setting the Downhole Fill Control Level on page 76.
No Control Load parameter is required to operate in Torque mode.
8.1
Setting the Fill Control Levels

When operating in either surface or downhole mode, the Realift Rod Pump calculates Fill Status from the shape of
the respective dynamometer card. Fill Status is the ratio of Effective Stroke to Total Stroke:
Effective Stroke is the portion of the downstroke where fluid is flowing through the open traveling valve.
Total Stroke is the total length of the downstroke.
Ideally, the Fill Status ratio is 1:1. However, as the fluid level changes, so too does Effective Stroke.
For both surface and downhole cards, Effective Stroke is determined by finding the position, on the downstroke,
where load first decreases below a determined level. The determined level is called Control Load.
8.1.1
Setting the Surface Fill Control Level

For a surface card, Control Load is set directly through the Surface Fill Control Level (SFCL) parameter. You
should set SFCL such that the downstroke portion of the card intersects SFCL for the first time (from right to left)
where load is descending toward its lowest value. You can use the following equation to determine Control Load:
CL=SFCL
where:
CL is Control Load
SFCL is the chosen Surface Fill Control Level
The lowest value of load for the card is called Card Minimum Load, abbreviated Lmin, in Figure 8.5.

to C.
In the Surface & Downhole Data pane on the Status page, Figure 8.6, enter the SFCL.
Figure 8.6: Surface & Downhole Data Pane
8.1.2
Setting the Downhole Fill Control Level

For a downhole card, Control Load is set indirectly through the parameter called Downhole Fill Control Level
(DFCL). Control Load is DFCL percent of the way from Card Min Load to Card Max Load, i.e., Control Load is
given by the following equation:
L max L min
CL = DFCL -----------------------------------100 + L min
Where:
CL is Control Load
DFCL is the chosen Downhole Fill Control Level
Lmax is the Downhole Card Maximum Load
Lmin is the Downhole Card Minimum Load
76
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

Set DFCL such that, for most cards, Control Level intersects the downstroke where the slope of load versus
position is close to vertical. In general, DFCL is at or below 35% to achieve a representative Downhole Effective
Stroke and, therefore, Downhole Fill Status.

The Downhole Total Stroke is the distance on the plot between A (lowest position of the stroke) and C (highest

The Downhole Effective Stroke is the distance between A and B (position where the slope of load versus
position is nearly vertical).
In the Surface & Downhole Data pane on the Status page, shown in Figure 8.6, enter the DFCL.
In general, a good Downhole Fill Control Level is about 35%. After observing operation, it may be advantageous to
adjust this value (likely to a value less than 35%) to achieve a more accurate measurement of Downhole Effective
Stroke.
1. On the Pump Control Configuration page, confirm Fill Minimum and Fill Target in the Fill Control Settings pane,
shown in Figure 8.8.
Figure 8.8: Fill Control Settings Pane
The Realift Rod Pump system adjusts speed once every Speed Change Strokes to maintain Fill Status equal to
Fill Target:
If Fill Status is greater than Fill Target, speed is increased.
If Fill Status is less than Fill Target, speed is decreased.
If speed decreases to Minimum Speed and Fill Status continues to decrease from Fill Target, speed is held
at Minimum Speed.
If Fill Status is less than Fill Minimum for a count of Pump Off Count Limit, the Realift Rod Pump system
enters a Pump Off state.
77
Realift Rod Pump

Version 3.0c
12/2014
If Fill Minimum is set to 0%, the Realift Rod Pump does not enter a Pump Off state. Adjust settings as
necessary to obtain optimal production rate.
If Fill Minimum is greater than 100%, the Realift Rod Pump will enter a Pump Off state (see Forcing a Pump
Off State on page 83).
For a more detailed explanation of the Fill Control Settings, refer to Forcing a Pump Off State on page 83.
2. Calibrate the SPM:Hz Ratio to convert motor speed (Hz) into pump rate (strokes per minute or SPM).

During calibration, the Realift Rod Pump will not detect a pump off condition. The
Realift Rod Pump continues with calibration and checks for pump off after the end of
calibration.
Before you begin calibration, verify that the well will not enter a pump off state by
examining the Dynacards.
SPM:Hz Ratio
a. With the pump jack operating smoothly at a moderate speed, confirm that there is minimal belt slippage and
look for any other conditions that might affect motion. Check for excessive belt or pulley wear.
b. Navigate to the Well Data Configuration page in the Realift Rod Pump HMI software and, in the Pumping
Unit Information pane, shown in Figure 8.9, click the Calibrate button to calibrate SPM:Hz Ratio:
Figure 8.9: Pumping Unit Information Pane
The Realift Rod Pump monitors the next six strokes, comparing the speed of the motor (Hz) with each stroke
identified by the proximity sensor. The software indicates when calibration is complete.
After calibration, Pump Rate in either Hz or SPM is displayed in the Summary pane of the Status page, shown
in Figure 8.1 on page 73. Clicking in that field changes the units from Hz to SPM and back again.
3. Navigate to the Well Fault Detection page (see Configuring Well Fault Detection on page 67) and confirm that
the Current Value fields are populated and within expected ranges. Adjust any Threshold or Limit Values as
necessary to trigger the Well Alarm or Well Fault detectors at the desired levels, shown in Figure 8.10.

4. Confirm that the Realift Rod Pump is reading the well data properly. If the feedback is satisfactory, return the
HOA switch to Off.
5. Navigate back to the Status page. With the HOA switch on the drive enclosure set to Off, confirm the following
settings in the Summary pane, shown in Figure 8.11:
Run Pump: Enabled
RPC Status: Off
Drive Status: Not Ready
Figure 8.11: Summary Pane
The Realift Rod Pump does not operate unless the Run Pump command is Enabled and the HOA switch is
in either the Hand or Auto position.
If Run Pump reads Enabled, but the RPC Status reads Off, this indicates that the HOA switch is in the Off
position.
Similarly, if RPC Status reads No-Run, this may indicate that some other input wired in series with the run
command, such as a vibration or tank level sensor, is telling the Realift Rod Pump that it cannot start at this
time. The No-Run message also appears if a required parameter such as the Start Up Speed is set to zero.
The Realift Rod Pump starts normally after the situation triggering the No-Run message is resolved.
Disable the Run Pump command by clicking the Run Pump field in the Summary pane. RPC Status should
change to Disabled.
6. On the Pump Control Configuration page, set Control Mode to the desired setting: Timed, Torque (for Altivar 71
only), Surface, or Downhole (see Setting the Control Mode on page 44).
In Timed Mode, the Realift Rod Pump does not actively control pump speed and fill rate; it only runs the unit at
constant speed for specified on and off times. Timed mode requires that the Off Time and On Time values for
Timed Mode be set (see Setting On & Off Times on page 45).
7. On the Pump Control Configuration page, verify and configure Bypass Contactor and External Fault Trigger.
8. If using Torque (for Altivar 71 only), Surface, or Downhole Mode, set Auto Off Time Adjust to On. In addition,
confirm that the Off Time (non-Timed), Auto Adjust Max Off Time, and Auto Adjust Min Off Time parameters are
set at the required values (see Setting On & Off Times on page 45).
9. Navigate to the Well Fault Detection page and enable any of the Per Stroke or Real-Time Well Fault detectors
desired by clicking on the Enable box in each control pane.

If a Start Warning Indicator (SWI) is installed, the SWI activates for the amount of time set in the Startup
Timers pane in the Pump Control Configuration page (Refer to Set Startup Times on page 99). RPC Status
displays Start Warning. Pump jack motion begins when SWI time completes.
If Start Reverse Time is set, the pump jack turns in reverse at the speed set in the Startup Speed field in the
Speed Settings pane for the amount of time specified, then stops and begins to move forward, again at
Startup Speed (see Setting Pump Speeds on page 46). RPC Status displays Start Reverse and Drive
Status displays Reverse.
The pump jack runs for the number of strokes set in the Pre-Control Strokes field before it adjusts speed or
initiates Pump Off. Allow the pump jack to complete the Pre-Control Strokes before attempting to collect well
data (see Setting Control Triggers on page 51).
If any Well Fault Detectors are enabled, detection does not begin until the Startup Ignore period has
elapsed (see Configuring Well Fault Detection on page 67).
12. Navigate to the Well Fault Detection page and enable any of the Per Stroke or Real-Time Well Fault detectors
desired by clicking on the Enable box in each control pane (see Setting Per Stroke Alarm Parameters on

Verifying Realift Rod Pump Control During Operation

Allow the pump jack to run until the Pre-Control Strokes, Startup Timers, and Startup Ignore counters elapse.
Continue to run the pump to allow the well to stabilize (time can vary, depending on the well).
Verify Realift Rod Pump operation by conducting a few simple tests:
10.1
Check Speed Control

Force a Pump Off State
Test Well Fault Detection.
Checking Speed Control

The Realift Rod Pump constantly adjusts pump jack speed based on Fill Status to maintain a fill level as close as
possible to the Fill Target. The Realift Rod Pump checks Fill Status at intervals defined by the Speed Change
Strokes (see Setting Control Triggers on page 51).
If the Fill Status exceeds the Fill Target, the Realift Rod Pump speeds up incrementally to return the Fill Status
to the target level. The speed change increment is proportional to the difference between the Fill Status and the
Fill Target. The Realift Rod Pump continues to increase speed until either the Fill Target is attained or until the
motor reaches the Maximum Speed value (see Setting Pump Speeds on page 46).
If the Fill Status drops below the Fill Target, the Realift Rod Pump slows the pump jack to return the Fill Status
to the target level or until the Minimum Speed value is reached.
Test the Speed Control by adjusting the Fill Target up or down slightly, observing the Realift Rod Pump as it
changes speed to accommodate the new settings. After confirming satisfactory Realift Rod Pump behavior, return
the Fill Target value to the desired operating level.
10.2
Forcing a Pump Off State

If the Fill Status drops below the Fill Minimum, the Realift Rod Pump determines if it needs to enter a Pump Off
state, using the following procedure:
1. If the Fill Status remains below the Fill Minimum for the number of strokes defined by the Pump Off Count Limit,
the Realift Rod Pump enters a Pump Off state and stops the pump jack.
2. The Realift Rod Pump remains in the Pump Off state until the length of time in the Off Time (non-Timed) field
elapses. The Realift Rod Pump then restarts.
3. After Startup Timers and Pre-Control Strokes elapse, the Realift Rod Pump re-evaluates the Fill Status in
relation to the Fill Target and Fill Minimum:
If the Fill Status is above the Fill Target, the Auto Off Time Adjust feature subtracts one minute from the Off
Time (non-Timed) value.
If the Fill Status is below the Fill Minimum, one minute is added to the Off Time (non-Timed) value.
This procedure repeats for each Pump Off occurrence, continually adjusting Pump Off time as well conditions
change.
After verifying that Auto Off Time Adjust is on, test that Off Time (non-Timed) does adjust after a Pump Off
period/cycle.
To test that Off Time (non-Timed) does adjust after a Pump Off period/cycle:
1. Set the Off Time (non-Timed) value to one minute, Auto Adjust Max Off Time to three minutes and Auto Adjust
Min Off Time to one minute.
2. Set both Fill Minimum and Fill Target values to 101%. Observe that the Realift Rod Pump stops the pump after
the correct number of Pump Off Count Limit strokes and restarts after the correct Off Time.
3. Check to see that the Off Time (non-Timed) value increases by one minute at each pump restart until it reaches its
maximum value of three minutes.

4. Set the Fill Target and the Fill Minimum to 25% and allow the Realift Rod Pump speed to increase until it
reaches Maximum Speed.
5. Set the Fill Minimum back to 101% to force a Pump Off.
6. Upon restart, check to see that the Off Time (non-Timed) value is reduced by one minute.
7. Return the Fill Minimum and Fill Target back to their desired operating levels after satisfactory behavior is
confirmed.
10.3
Testing Well Fault Detection

If the Realift Rod Pump detects that the pump jack operates outside of certain user-specified parameters, it reports
a Well Alarm. If the unwanted operating state persists, the Realift Rod Pump reports a Well Fault and stops
operation until the Well Fault is manually cleared (see Configuring Well Fault Detection on page 67).
Well Fault Detection works as follows:
After the Startup Ignore counts on the Well Fault Detection page are met, the Realift Rod Pump begins to
monitor selected Well Alarm conditions.
For any monitored parameter, if the Current Value moves above or below the Threshold Value in an undesirable
direction, the Well Alarm Detection Count begins. For example, if the Threshold Value for High Torque is set at
200%, and the Current Value exceeds 200%, the corresponding Well Alarm Detection Count increases.
After the system restarts, the Well Alarm monitoring sequence begins again. If the undesired state persists,
another Well Alarm is recorded and another Pump Off state begins. In the High Torque example above, the
Well Fault Detection Count Limit Value is set for three, which means the Realift Rod Pump repeats this process
three times.
If the number of recorded Well Alarms reaches the Well Fault Detection Limit Value, a Well Fault is reported.
The Realift Rod Pump stops the pump jack until the user manually clears the Well Fault condition.
To test the Well Fault Detection sequence:

1. In the Pump Configuration page, set the Auto Off Time Adjust parameter to Off and the Off Time (non-Timed)
field to one minute (see Setting On & Off Times on page 45).
a. Set the Well Alarm Detection Count Limit Values to five strokes or five seconds, depending on the
parameter chosen.
b. Set the Well Fault Detection Count Limit Values to three.
c. With the pump jack in motion, after the Startup Ignore counts have elapsed, observe the Threshold and
Current Values.
d. Choose a Well Fault parameter to test and set its Threshold Value to a value that causes the Current Value
to fall outside of the chosen condition.
e. Enable detection by checking the Enable box for the chosen parameter.
f.
Observe Realift Rod Pump operation as the Well Alarm Detection Counter reaches its Limit Value and the
Realift Rod Pump enters a Pump Off state. Wait for the Realift Rod Pump to restart and allow the sequence
to repeat.
g. When the number of Well Alarms reaches the Well Fault Detection Count Limit Value, observe that the
Realift Rod Pump enters a Well Fault state and that the pump jack shuts down.
h. Clear the Well Fault Message. This allows the Realift Rod Pump to restart when you click Reset Detection
for Well and Drive on the Well Fault Detection page.

Optimizing Realift Rod Pump Operation

You can optimize Realift Rod Pump operation by careful configuration and by paying attention to alarms, but the
downhole cards also give invaluable information about the efficiency of the Realift Rod Pump. The downhole card is
a graphical representation of the forces acting on the pump plunger as it moves upward and downward in the well,
capturing and releasing fluid with each stroke.
11.1
Reading Downhole Cards

One key to optimizing Realift Rod Pump operation is interpreting downhole cards. While acceptable well operation
can be obtained by observing the Surface card, the Downhole card is the preferred method to obtain optimal
performance.
Rather than being a plot of Load vs. Time, shown in Figure 11.1, the Downhole card is a plot of Load vs. Position,
shown in Figure 11.2. The resulting shape is sometimes referred to as folded onto itself or a circular plot.
Figure 11.1: Plot: Load vs. Time

L min

Realift Rod Pump

Chapter 11 Optimizing Realift Rod Pump Operation
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Figure 11.2: Plot: Load vs. Position
L max
L min
Ideally, the Realift Rod Pump should have good fluid flow with valves working properly. This would generate a card
such as the one shown in Figure 11.2. The ideal card shown in Figure 11.2 demonstrates the instantaneous
increase in load from Lmin to Lmax as the pump plunger begins its upward stroke, the load remaining constant as it
completes its travel to the top. As soon as the pump plunger starts back down, the load instantly falls back to Lmin
where it remains constant as the pump travels to its bottom position again.
The load falling instantly to Lmin and remaining constant for the entire downstroke (Ptop to Pbottom) indicates that
the traveling valve on the pump has opened properly, transferring the fluid from pump to tubing. When the pump
plunger reaches bottom, the barrel is empty and the reciprocating motion of the pump jack begins to lift the entire
column of fluid up to the top again, causing more fluid to be pulled in from the reservoir through the standing valve.
However, when a condition such as low fluid level or trapped gas stops the traveling valve from opening properly
as the plunger starts downward, transfer of the contents of the pump to the tubing does not begin at the top of the
stroke. The fluid in the tubing merely descends with the traveling valve, maintaining load at Lmax, until fluid is
encountered or the gas compresses enough to open the traveling valve. Only when the plunger re-immerses in the
fluid can the traveling valve open and transfer of fluid through the traveling valve occur.
88
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

Figure 11.3: Low Fluid Level
L max
L min
The Realift Rod Pump detects the condition where the traveling valve does not open at the top of the stroke and
reduces pump speed to reduce mechanical stress on the system and to allow more time for the pump to fill. If
speed reduction does not work and fill remains low, the Realift Rod Pump enters a Pump Off State and waits for a
predetermined interval, called Pump Off Time, before restarting (see Setting Fill Controls on page 48).
The shapes of individual downhole cards not only provide valuable clues to diagnose changes in fill level over time, but
also aid in the evaluation of hardware conditions. Knowing if the reservoir is low, valves are leaking, tubing is
unanchored, or if other factors are at play allows the operator to better manage production levels and anticipate whether
maintenance is required.
Figure 11.4 illustrates the most common downhole card shapes and the well conditions associated with them.
Shapes vary among different pump jacks; these examples are for information only and do not represent absolute
well conditions or recommended courses of action.

Action
Although the HOA switch in the Off position is by far the most common cause of the Off status, there are
other possibilities, including:
External sensor has opened Run Command input (DI-11) while HOA is in Hand position
Remote Disable (DI-2)
(see the Realift Rod Pump Hardware Installation Manual for information on DI-11.)
Drive Status: The Drive Status is the current state of drive. The Drive Status can be Forward, Reverse, or Not
Ready.
Active Control Mode: The Active Control Mode is the control mode in use. The Active Control Mode can be
different from the Control Mode set on the Pump Control Configuration page. If a sensor detects a Well Fault,
the Realift Rod Pump will change the control mode and the Active Control Mode will display the actual control
mode.
Run Time Current Run: The Run Time Current Run is the length of time the Realift Rod Pump has been running
since its last Pump Off.
Stroke Count Current Run: The Stroke Count Current Run is the number of strokes since the last Pump Off.

Pump Intake Pressure: The Pump Intake Pressure is the pressure in the casing at the depth specified as the
pump intake.
Fluid Load: The weight of the fluid in the pump, in lbs.
Imbalance: The Imbalance is a calculated value indicating the balance between the counter weight and the rod
string weight, based on the difference between maximum upstroke torque and maximum downstroke torque. A
negative value indicates that the counterbalance weight is greater than the rod string weight. [Units: percent
(%), minimum: -1000.0, maximum: +1000.0]
Frequency Command: The Frequency Command indicates the set frequency of the drive. If the Drive Status is
Reverse, the Frequency Command is displayed as a negative.
Actual Frequency: The Actual Frequency is the frequency of the drive as reported by the Altivar 71 drive. If the
Drive Status is Reverse, the Actual Frequency is displayed as a negative. For generic drives, the Frequency
Command and Actual Frequency values are the same because the system does not use a frequency feedback
with generic drive types.
Belt Slip: The Belt Slip is the difference between the rod pump system speed measured by the drive (motor
speed) and the pump speed as determined by the proximity sensor (crank arm speed). [Units: percent (%),
minimum: -1000.0, maximum: +1000.0]

Figure 12.4: Card Display & Settings Pane
Card Interval sets the frequency at which card data is collected by Realift Rod Pump HMI software. When
configuring the Realift Rod Pump for the first time, this value is set in Establishing Communication Speed and Card
Interval Settings on page 27. Changing the Card Interval is explained in Changing Card Interval on page 110.
The Card Display and Settings pane also enables you to set the curves that will be displayed in the card. For more
information, see Setting Curve Visibility on page 106.

Defining Filtering Options

You can define the filtering options by clicking the Set Filtering Options button in the Card Display and Settings
pane.
The filters (Load Cell Filter Weight and Pump Fill Filter Weight) present the measured and calculated values in a
more realistic manner by minimizing the effects of noise and other spurious values. The system employs infinite
impulse response exponential filters. The current value is compared to the previous value by taking the entered
percentage of the previous value and adding it to the corresponding percentage of the current value. For example,
if you set the Load Cell Filter Weight to 60%, Realift Rod Pump takes 60% of the previous value and adds it to 40%
of the current value. Setting the Load Cell Filter Weight to a very low percentage means that there will be little
smoothing of data. Setting the Load Cell Filter Weight to a very high percentage means that there will be less
progression of data.
94
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

To define the filtering options:

1. Click the Set Filtering Options button. The Filtering Weights and Options dialog box appears.
Figure 12.5: The Filtering Weights and Options Dialog Box
2. Define the Load Cell Filter Weight as a percentage. The Load Cell Filter Weight filters data directly from the
load cell. If the load cell data is noisy, increase the value of the filter until the noise is sufficiently rejected.
3. Define the Pump Fill Filter Weight as a percentage. If this filter is used, each new pump fill calculation is
averaged with the previous pump fill calculations to reduce the speed oscillations or hunting that result from
an oscillating pump fill.
4. Click OK.

Configuring External Sensors and Water Cut Percentage

On the Status Page, clicking the View Other Sensors button brings up the External Sensors dialog box, as shown
in Figure 12.6, where you can configure the displayed values of any external 4-20 mA analog sensors connected to
the SCADAPack 535 E.
Figure 12.6: External Sensors Dialog Box
Under External Sensors, you can configure the external sensors:
Input: The Input corresponds to the analog input on the SCADAPack 535 E that the external sensor is
connected to.
Name and Units: You can enter a descriptive name and the units of the value the sensor is measuring.
Manual Calibration: You can enter values under Manual Calibration to convert the measured value into the
value you want displayed. For example, if the measured temperature is in Fahrenheit, you can convert it to
Celsius by entering -32 in Offset and 0.5556 in Mult.
Value: The calibrated value reported by the external sensor.

Assisted Calibration: Clicking on Range opens a dialog box where you can enter the values that will correspond
to a measurement of 4 mA and 20 mA.
You can also define filters for external sensors and the proximity sensor in the External Sensors dialog box.
When you select the Enable External Sensors Filtering check box, Realift Rod Pump enables an infinite impulse
response exponential filter on the external sensor inputs. The current value is compared to the previous value by
taking 70% of the previous value and adding it to 30% of the current value. The measured sensor results are
smoothed out and the values displayed show a more natural progression.
When you select the Enable Prox Sensors Filtering check box, Realift Rod Pump enables a filter designed to
reduce spurious strokes. When selected, the Proximity Sensor must be true for at least two Realift Rod Pump
program scans for it to count a stroke.
In the Production pane, the gross and net production rates are displayed. The Net Oil rates are calculated using the
Water Cut that you can enter by clicking the Water Cut field. When you modify the value in the Water Cut field, the
Net Oil values update immediately.

Stored by the operator using the Save Current Card button on the Status page.
As with Stored Trends and Events, you should refresh Stored Cards before viewing the most recent set.
The 18 cards stored cards are created immediately by Realift Rod Pump but no data is stored in them until the event
occurs. For example, the Card Saved by Operator is created but remains blank until you click Save Current Card on
the Status page, then the card currently displayed on the Status page is stored in the Card Saved by Operator. When
you transfer cards from the Realift Rod Pump using the Transfer Control and Status pane (see Transferring Stored
Cards on page 110), Realift Rod Pump transfers all 18 cards, even if some of them are blank. When you transfer
the stored cards, the most recent complete sets of 18 cards in folders identified by the timestamp (date and time) of
the transfer, as shown in Figure 14.7 are displayed.
Figure 14.7: Stored Card Folders
Clicking on a folder displays a set of downloaded cards, shown in Figure 14.8.

Transferring Stored Cards

You can transfer the latest set of trend data from the Realift Rod Pump to the computer using the Transfer Control
and Status pane (see Figure 14.9). When you transfer them, the Realift Rod Pump software creates a new folder for
the latest cards.
Figure 14.9: The Transfer Control and Status Pane
To transfer stored cards:
Click Transfer Stored Trends and Events in the Transfer Control and Status pane. The Transfer Control and
Status pane is found on both the History Cards page and the History Trends and Events page. A transfer
indicator lights and the progress bar fills until transfer is complete (see Figure 14.10).
Figure 14.10: Transfer Control and Status Pane Indicators
Stored trends can then be viewed in the same manner as real-time trends (see Viewing Stored Cards on
page 108).
14.5
Changing Card Interval

Using the Information and Settings pane of the History Cards page, you can change the interval between card
collection. When you commission the Realift Rod Pump, you should set the interval to between 10 seconds to one
minute to allow for faster card collection for setting parameters. Once the Realift Rod Pump is completely
configured, you can set card intervals anywhere from a few minutes up to an entire day between cards.

The following CSV file storage information is displayed:

Root Directory: The root storage directory. The cards are stored in folders underneath this directory, first by
location, then by pump ID.
Current Storage Directory: The directory that cards are currently being stored in. You can force the Realift
Rod Pump to create a new directory and start storing new cards in it by clicking the Manually Create New
Directory button. The Realift Rod Pump will then create a new directory and the Number of Cards in Current
Directory will be reset.
Card Transfer Status: The Card Transfer Status displays the current status of card transfer.
Max Number of Cards per Directory: The maximum number of cards per directory. This is set to 100 cards.
Number of Cards in Current Directory: The number of cards in the current directory. Once there are 100
cards in the current directory, a new directory is automatically created for the following cards and this
number is reset.
2. Click the Root Directory field to change the root directory. The Enter Root Directory dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name of the new root directory.

Realift Rod Pump will not store cards directly in the root directory.
Choose a local drive on the server and specify a directory name.
4. You must choose a local drive and you must specify a directory name; you cannot store cards directly in the
root directory of the PC.
5. Click OK to apply your changes.
When you change the card storage location, Realift Rod Pump starts transferring periodic cards to the new
location. This cannot be stopped.

Troubleshooting
The information in this appendix is designed to help you with common situations.
B.1
Creating a New Rod Pump

Background:
When you click Create New Rod Pump, a ClearSCADA script creates a new Realift Rod Pump instance and then
renames it appropriately. If no license is installed, the new instance remains empty and ultimately gets deleted by
the script.
If this process is interrupted before the new instance has been deleted (possibly by closing ViewX), the new
instance will not have the correct name and will not show up in the Realift Rod Pump list. You will see the message:
Error at line XXX, column XX of Digital Oil Field. Login Type mismatch: CINT The existence of this condition
means that the create new Rod Pump Controller script will be unsuccessful in the future.
Solution
1. In ViewX, check that the database tree is visible, and that it says Database.
2. If the database tree is not visible, click the Database button (
).
Or select View > Explorer Bar > Database.

3. Once the database is displayed, log on to ClearSCADA with the following credentials:
Username:
admin1
Password:
welcome
4. Expand the database tree by clicking the symbol to the right of MAIN.
5. Expand the folder "RPC -"
6. Inside this folder, delete any instances that do not have names of the format RPCXXXX.

B.3
Dynagraph Plots Are Blank But No Grid Appears

Figure B.3: Dynagraph Plots Are Blank
116
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

Background:
The Dynagraph plot is generated by the following program:
C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\DynagraphTool\Graphtool.exe
This program runs as a service and converts data to PNG images that are displayed as remote images in
ClearSCADA.
They are served on port 8080 by the following program:
C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\DynagraphTool\mongoose-3-0.exe
The following program starts the graph tool and mongoose-3-0 and restarts them if necessary:
C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\DynagraphTool\GraphRunningCheck.exe
These three programs run as services.
Solution:
1. Verify that these services are running:
a. Click Start.
b. Type Services and press Enter. The Services dialog box appears.
c. Click the top of the "Name" column so that the services are listed in alphabetical order.
d. Look for each of these services and verify that they are running.
e. If they exist and have been stopped, start them and set them to start automatically
2. If they are not on the list of services.
a. Use "My Computer" and navigate to the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\DynagraphTool\
b. Verify that each of the 3 service executable files described above actually exists and has not been deleted
by anti-virus software. If they have been, restore them from another Realift Rod Pump-HMI installation.
3. If the executable files for these services do exist but the services are not on the services list in the Services
dialog box:
a. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\DynagraphTool\
b. Right-click the "The Services -- Setup GraphRunningCheck and Mongoose service.exe" file and select "Run
as Administrator" from the context menu.
c. Right-click the "The Services - Start.exe" file and select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.
4. Verify that the services are now running. If they are, when you go back to the software, the cards may still be
blank.
To restore the cards when the services have been restarted:
a. From the Realift Rod Pump HMI Software Main Menu, navigate to a pump by clicking on the pump and then
clicking Navigate to Pump button.
b. In the Card Display & Settings dialog box, at the lower right corner of the Status page, click Set Curve
Visibility.
117
Realift Rod Pump

Version 3.0c
12/2014
Figure B.4: The Card Display & Settings Dialog Box
c. Select or clear the check box corresponding to one of the curves. This will change the curve visibility and
cause the graph to refresh.
5. If the services are running but the card is still blank, port 8080 may be blocked or another service could already
be installed that listens on port 8080.
a. Try disabling any anti-virus software, especially McAfee.
b. Try disabling any other web-servers that exists on port 8080 (ClearSCADA WebX listens on port 80 not port
8080).
6. If you still cannot get the cards to appear, try either installing the software onto a different computer or installing
onto a virtual machine.
B.4
ClearSCADA Database Corrupt

The icon in the System tray is pink and the message says the Database is corrupt.
To correct this situation:
1. Click the Start button.
2. Enter cmd in the Search programs and files text box and press Enter. The Command Prompt window
appears.
3. Enter checkdks /F in the Command Prompt window and press Enter.
4. Restart the computer.
B.5
Drive Runs in Hand or Manual Mode Only

Background:
The drive runs in hand or manual mode but will not work in automatic or timed mode, or, if it runs it starts but
quickly shuts off. The Drive Status Code in the upper left corner of the Status page indicates "Run" but the output
frequency is 0.0Hz.
Solution:
B.6
Verify that Startup Speed (Keypad Start Speed) is set to an appropriate value. See Setting Pump Speeds on
page 46.
Verify that Maximum Speed (Keypad Max Speed) is set to an appropriate value. See Setting Pump Speeds on
page 46.
Realift Rod Pump Speed Oscillates or Realift Rod Pump Does Speed Hunting
Background:
The Realift Rod Pump speed is oscillating or the Realift Rod Pump is doing speed hunting.
118
Version 3.0c
12/2014
Realift Rod Pump

Solution:
You can increase the pump fill filter weight. The Pump Fill Filter Weight filters Pump fill so that it can not update as
quickly. Each new pump fill calculation is averaged with the previous pump fill calculations to reduce the speed
oscillations or hunting that result from an oscillating pump fill.
To increase the pump fill filter weight:
1. Go to the Status page.
2. In the lower right corner of the Status page, click the Set Filtering Options button in the Card Display & Settings
pane.
3. Define the Pump Fill Filter Weight as a percentage.
For more information, see Card Display and Settings on page 94.
B.7
Difference Between Fill Control Level and Fill Target

The difference between the Fill Control Level in the Surface & Downhole Data pane on the Status page and the Fill
Target in the Fill Control Settings pane on the Pump Control Configuration page:
B.8
The Fill Control Level determines how the Realift Rod Pump calculates pump fill. When the well is less than
100% full, the rods begin to hammer. This is visible in the downhole card when the lower right corner of the
downhole card disappears. The Fill Control Level is the position above the bottom of the card where the Realift
Rod Pump looks to calculate pump fill. The default is 35% and it should be set to this value. This means that the
Realift Rod Pump will look 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom of the downhole card to measure pump fill.
Pump fill is the width of the card 1/3rd of the way from the bottom.
The Fill Target is different from this. If the Actual Fill is more than the Fill Target, the Realift Rod Pump will
speed up in an attempt to pump out oil so that actual fill matches the fill target. If the actual fill is less than the fill
target the Realift Rod Pump will slow down so that the pump will fill back up. The Realift Rod Pump will slow
down to minimum speed if necessary in order to match the fill target. If fill reaches the fill minimum, the Realift
Rod Pump will stop for pump off time.
Operation in Downhole Mode and Pump Fill Indicates 0%

Background:
The Realift Rod Pump is operating in Downhole Mode and the pump fill indicates 0%.
Solution:
Verify that the Downhole Control percent on the status page is set correctly. 35% is the recommended value. This
parameter is used for the calculation of downhole pump fill and is not the same thing as Fill Target or Fill Minimum
that are found in the Fill Control Settings pane of the Pump Control Configuration page. See Setting the Downhole
Fill Control Level on page 76.

Resetting the SCADAPack 535 E

The SCADAPack 535 E was configured when it was delivered as part of the Realift Rod Pump. However, under
certain circumstances, for example, when the SCADAPack battery has been replaced, it is necessary to reset the
SCADAPack 535 E. When you installed the Realift Rod Pump HMI software, copies of the configuration file and the
application package file were installed on your computer. You can use these copies to reset the SCADAPack
535 E.
The process of resetting the SCADAPack 535 E takes place in two steps:
E.1
Reinstalling the SCADAPack 535 E Firmware

Reinstalling the Application Package File.
Reinstalling the SCADAPack 535 E Firmware

To reinstall the SCADAPack 535 E firmware:
1. Start the SCADAPack in cold boot mode:
a. Remove power from the RTU.
b. Hold down the Select button on the top of the SCADAPack 535 E (see Figure E.1).
c. Apply power to the RTU.
d. Continue holding the Select button down for 20 seconds, until the Status LED begins blinking on and off.
e. Release the Select button.
If you release the Select button before the Status LED begins blinking on and off, the RTU will start in
Service mode and you will have to start over at step a.
2. Connect your computer to the SCADAPack 535 E USB device port (see Figure E.1).
