DETECTING AND ACCOUNTING FOR FAULT CONDITIONS AFFECTING ELECTRONIC DEVICES

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.
