IEC-6-1131 programming languages
Built-in web server for configuration The Rockwell Automation OptiLift RPC (rod pump controller) features an
and diagnostics that can be maintained advanced design with an on-site controller that can help provide accurate
remotely; online firmware updates and flexible control necessary for well production optimization. It is easy to
available
install, easy to configure, features excellent reliablilty, and is easy to use.
Interface to well management software
such as XSPOC, Rockwell Automation OptiLift RPC is optimized for use with beam pumps that monitor
visualization software and other
third-party SCADAs parameters at the surface of the well. Display of surface and downhole
Expandable and customizable through dynamometer cards allow the operator to visualize what is occurring with
I/O addition and by any Modbus-capable the process. Six modes of selectable control provide flexibility for the
I/O device (via Ethernet or serial) operator to choose the operating mode suited for the conditions presented.

Configuration for distinct characteristics is also available, including well

production, well bore and equipment, pumping unit and motor data.
The OptiLift RPC features extra I/O that can be programmed and monitored
for custom applications:
6 AI: (mA or Voltage)
3 DI: (24VDC)
1 DI (high frequency) for time monitoring
1 AO: (mA or Voltage)
4 DO: (24VDC
The rod pump controller allows operators to collect, aggregate, and analyze
data locally and remotely, and supports local data logging. Remote data
collected via embedded 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz wireless.
