    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlling and communicating with one or more tools in a downhole tool string including a tractor, an auxiliary tractor tool, a logging tool, a safety sub, a release mechanism, a unit containing sensors for monitoring downhole conditions, a setting tool, and a perforating gun. Also provided are apparatus and methods for controlling and communicating with one or more perforating guns, release devices, and explosive devices in a string to be lowered into a wellbore. Control and communication are accomplished by sending signals from the surface to control switches in the control units on the tool, with redundant switches for safety, to state machines in the respective control units, each state machine returning a signal verifying switch status to the surface. Control and power functions are accomplished with voltage of different polarities for safety.

    Abstract translation: 用于控制和与井下工具串中的一个或多个工具进行通信的装置和方法,包括拖拉机,辅助拖拉机工具,测井工具,安全子系统,释放机构,包含用于监测井下状况的传感器的单元,设置工具 和射孔枪。 还提供了用于控制和连通一个或多个穿孔枪,释放装置和串联中的爆炸装置以降低到井眼中的装置和方法。 控制和通信是通过将表面上的信号发送到工具上的控制单元中的控制开关,用于安全的冗余开关,到各个控制单元中的状态机,每个状态机将信号验证开关状态返回到表面。 控制和功率功能是为了安全起见,以不同极性的电压完成。
