NETWORKED SWITCHES FOR REMOTE DETONATION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and system for defining addresses for a networked switching system, controlling and enabling user control via a graphical user interface over the detonation of a plurality of explosive devices, and setting a plurality of charges located remotely downs hole beneath the earth's surface. The control system sends command signals to arm and fire selected explosive devices, and sensors are provided to monitor the subterranean conditions and detect the activation of explosive devices.
