Abstract:
A reconfigurable network for interconnecting tools in a bottom hole assembly is disclosed. The network includes nodes that have reconfigurable switches that can be configured to provide a conductive path for the bus through the node, connect a terminator to the bus, and/or connect a tool to the bus. The exact configuration (i.e., states) of the switches in each node may be automatically selected based on a detected fault in a tool attached to a node and/or the state of other switches in the node or/a specific request is received. Various node embodiments and a method and circuit for automatically disconnecting a tool from the network in response to a tool fault are further disclosed.

Claim (Index 12):
The tool bus network according to  claim 1 , wherein the node further comprises a second bus switch configurable based on a third secured control line to connect the second bus section to a third bus section so that when both the first bus switch and the second bus switch are closed, data and/or power is able to pass between the first, second, and third bus sections.
