    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure can relate to detecting and accounting for fault conditions affecting electronic devices. In implementations, electronic devices can be coupled to one another in series with a common power line linking the electronic devices together. For example, the electronic devices can include down hole tools/equipment of a drill string. In embodiments, a system can include circuitry configured to couple a first electronic device with a second electronic device. The circuitry can detect or receive information regarding a fault condition and can set a switch to an open position, where the first electronic device and the second electronic device are electrically disconnected from one another, when a fault condition affects or is caused by the second electronic device.

The method can also include transferring data between the uphole telemetry cartridge and the downhole telemetry cartridge across the optical fibers and the copper conductors. The method can further include measuring a data transmission rate on the optical fibers and the copper conductors. The method can also include comparing the data transmission rate to a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: Systems and methods for toolstring communication in cable telemetry. The methods involve positioning a cable telemetry system in a wellbore. The cable telemetry system can include a surface modem, a downhole toolstring of downhole tools, a downhole modem operatively coupled to the downhole toolstring, a cable operatively coupling between the surface modem and the downhole modem, and a surface data routing module that polls and trains the cable telemetry system. The methods also involve performing a pre-transmission poll of a rate requirement for the downhole toolstring and a telemetry type for the downhole modem, applying a training phase to establish a transmission link between the surface modem and the downhole modem, configuring data obtained by the downhole toolstring for an uplink via the transmission link, and transmitting the uplink via the transmission link.
