Vision Device Management is a free PC-based tool used with Link™ to configure, test, and troubleshoot ETC sensors and wireless products, and download & install firmware updates. When used in conjunction with the Sasquatch Plunger Velocity Sensor, Vision and Link become the industry’s first Plunger Velocity Diagnostic Kit. This kit helps operators understand how the impact (kinetic energy) of a plunger at surface affects surface equipment.
Vision also includes ETC’s full resource library; including application notes, certification documents, manuals, and other supporting documents and tools for our products.
Use Vision to:
With Vision Device Management, the latest firmware for ETC controls and sensors is always at your fingertips. To ensure producers have access to the most modern features & the best optimization algorithms, ETC occasionally releases new firmware versions for controllers like the ALiEn2 plunger lift controller. Vision also allows users to safely ‘see what Cyclops (or Sasquatch) sees’ as a plunger arrives in the lubricator, which can help users determine the cause of false detects or missed arrivals on a problem well.
Upgrading software on any ETC product is simple and quick with Vision. As new versions are released, the latest software is automatically downloaded right to your PC when the utility opens.
Link is an all-in-one adapter designed for use with Vision Device Management software and ETC controllers and sensors.
Link connects Cyclops plunger arrival sensors, Sasquatch velocity sensors, and ETC plunger lift controllers to our Vision Device Management platform. Link comes complete with all necessary cables for connecting Link to your laptop (USB) as well as cables that connect to all three products mentioned above.
The ALiEn2 plunger controller replaced a competitive controller on a plunger lift well that was not meeting production expectations. Production was doubled within 12 days and the well has continued producing at the higher rate since.
The Cyclops sensor was installed on wells that were frequently missing plunger arrivals, leading to 100% reliable detection of the plunger.
