A system and method for updating industrial cellular communications devices. A supercapacitor and a cellular modem are connected electronically to one another. A host can communicate bidirectionally and wirelessly with the cellular modem. A microcontroller is connected electronically with the cellular modem, such that the microcontroller facilitates monitoring with the cellular modem of a voltage and temperature associated with the super capacitor. When the voltage of the super capacitor attains a lower voltage limit, the cellular modem stops receiving data from the host and sends a status code to the host and disconnects a data call and data transfer and enters into a sleep mode during which time the super capacitor is recharged. The cellular modem can reestablish the data call with the host after the super capacitor has been recharged.

Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a sensor controller configured to apply predetermined criteria to determine when a parameter value sampled by a sensor module meets the predetermined criteria, and in response to making such a determination, adjust a commanded data rate including an update time period. In an illustrative example, the predetermined criteria may be independently defined for each sensor in a network. In examples with a network of sensors, the sensor controller may dictate sensor module operation at differentiated data rates. In an illustrative example, a sensor controller may communicate with a series of pressure level sensor modules connected to a drilling apparatus in a mud logging application. Upon detection of a pressure level change that exceeds a critical condition as determined through comparison with the predetermined criteria, the sensor controller may increase or decrease a data rate of the respective sensor module, for example.
