The Instrument Dynamic Controller (IDC) is designed to prevent a PowerTrac® conveyed toolstring from moving when stopped in a wellbore with deviation greater than 90 degrees i.e. uphill. It is also used to prevent rotation of a tool string which is being orientated. The IDC is placed above the PowerTrac® and opened when on depth. The high grip pads then provide the additional friction that prevents uphole and downhole movement or angular rotation.
