Zusammenfassung:A pumpjack monitor includes a processor and memory, a communicator for communicating with other monitors and a server, a sensor module having at least a strain gauge and accelerometers for determining vibration and position of the monitor. Other sensors may be internal, including sensors for polished rod rotation, or gas, or external and linked to the monitoring device wirelessly. Some embodiments serve as network hubs or bridges for other monitors. The server is configured to generate surface cards. A method for monitoring of pumpjacks uses the monitor to sense changes in pumpjack parameters, and communicate the changes to a server when changes exceed configurable thresholds. Some embodiments include determining location with GPS and/or relaying signals from other monitoring devices, smart power management, gas sensing, and relaying of signals from external wireless-equipped sensors such as valve position sensors, oil level sensors, and pressure sensors.
