INPUT/OUTPUT: Assignment, Ranging, Wiring, and Calibration Input/Output Assignment

We will now configure your Smart Flow Computer’s inputs and outputs. The flow computer allows the

user to configure the inputs and outputs. i.e. Analog #1 is pressure for Meter #1. Unassigned inputs are not used by the flow computer.

How to assign a transmitter to an I/O point:

Before beginning the procedure of assigning inputs and outputs, it is advisable to set up the meter (Meter | Set Up). This is because certain parameters on the Transducer Input Assignment page change (or may not appear, etc.) based on Meter | Set Up.

1 Use your arrow keys to scroll to menu item I/O (between Meter and Report). Its first

entry is Transducer Input Assignment. Press <ENTER>.

2. Use the down/up arrow key to scroll through this menu. The first four parameters are used to set the number of decimals you would like to see in your live inputs (these numbers do not affect the precision of your calculated data). Spare inputs are inputs that the flow computer will read and display in the diagnostic data but are not used in the calculations. Spare inputs high and low limit alarms are documented in the historical alarm report.

3. After the parameters used for setting the number of decimals come a series of parameters ending with the words Assignment (1-n). Assignments 1-4 are analog

inputs attached to terminal P3 of the back panel. These

inputs accept 4-20mA or 1-5 volts input and are suitable for temperature, pressure,

density, BS&W, or spare inputs. Assignments 5 and 6 are strictly RTD (temperature) inputs only for the meter, prover, densitometer or spare; temperatures are inputted via terminal P5 on the back panel. Assignment 7 indicates a density frequency input; it is assigned automatically once you choose live density frequency input in the setup menu at density type selection (and it can only be assigned via Meter | Set Up | Density #n, where n = 1 to

4). Assignment 10 (module 1) and assignment 11 (module 2) are used for Rosemount multivariable module only. DP, pressure, and temperature for the meter can be assigned.

Ranging the Transmitter Inputs:

1. Enter the range values: after assigning the inputs scroll down the transducer inputs assignment menu to scale the 4-20mA. Enter the value at …@4mA and …@20mA. Enter both values similar to the way the transmitter is ranged. 1-5 volts is equivalent to 4-20mA. Enter the 1 volt value at the 4mA, and 5 volt value at 20mA.

2. Enter the high and low limits: high limits and low limits are simply the alarm points in which you would like the flow computer to flag as an alarm condition. Enter these values with respect to the upper and lower range conditions. Try to avoid creating alarm log when conditions are normal. For example: If the line condition for the pressure is between 0 to 500 PSIG. then you should program less than zero for low pressure alarm, and 500 or more for high pressure alarm. High and low limits are also used in the scale for the Modbus variables.

3. Set up the fail code: Maintenance and Failure Code values tell the flow computer to use a default value in the event the transmitter fails. The default value is stored in Maintenance. There are three outcomes: the transmitter value is always used, no matter what (Failure Code = 0); the Maintenance value is always used, no matter what (Failure Code = 1); and the Maintenance value is used only when the transmitter’s value indicates that the transmitter has temporarily failed (Failure Code = 2).

Dynamic Fluid Measurement SFC3 Liquid Pulse Manual Quick Start — 1-15

RTD inputs will skip 4-20mA assignments because RTD is a raw signal of 50 (ohms) to 156. Readings beyond that range require a 4-20mA signal to the flow computer. Density coefficients for raw frequency inputs are programmed in this menu. The menu will only show parameters relevant to the live density selected (i.e., Solartron or UGC, etc.).

NOTE: Solartron density input requires values in US units, i.e. PSI, and



F. Request a calibration sheet in US units from the densitometer

manufacturer.

WIRING:

Wiring to the flow computer is very straightforward and simple. But still it is very important to get familiar with the wiring diagram.

Wiring the analog inputs:

Use your arrow keys to move the cursor to the menu item Wiring and then use up/down arrow keys to select Analog Wiring. Press <ENTER>. Typical wiring for analog inputs 1 and 2 are shown in the drawing. Analog inputs 3 and 4 are to the left of analog 1 and 2. Note that the analog input has only one

common return, which is the -ve signal of power supply powering the transmitters. When wiring 1-5 volts, make sure to calibrate the flow computer for the 1-5 volt signal because the flow computer calibration defaults for the 4-20mA, which is different from the 1-5 volts. JP5 must be cut for 15 volt inputs. The jumpers for analog 1-4 are in order from right to left. It is possible to cut the first two jumpers for analog 1 & 2 in for 1-5 volts signal and have analog in 3 & 4 as 4-20mA signal. Signal line impedance provided by our flow computer is less than 250. Therefore, when using a smart transmitter that requires a minimum of 250 resistance in the loop, an additional resistor at the flow computer end needs to be installed in series with the 4-20mA loop in order to allow the hand held communicator to talk to the transmitter.

NOTE: The 4-20mA or 1-5 volt DOES NOT source power to the transmitters. You can use

the DC power feeding the flow computer to power the 4-20mA loop IF that power supply is FILTERED.

RTD Wiring

When ‘Flow Computer’ is configured as 4 analog inputs and 2 RTD inputs, go to the wiring menu where it

says RTD and press <ENTER>. The flow computer shows wiring to RTD 1 and RTD 2. 100 platinum can be used; a temperature range of -43F to +300F can be measured. RTD 1 is to the right where P5

designation is. In the figure below notice that each side of the RTD requires two wire connections. When using less than 4 wires a jumper must be used to make up for the missing lead. Internal excitation current source generated is approximately 7mA. .

Dynamic Fluid Measurement SFC3 Liquid Pulse Manual Quick Start — 1-19

Wiring Analog Output:

The analog outputs are located on the left side of P3 connector. Go to the wiring diagram and scroll down to Analog Output and press <ENTER>. Wiring diagram shows typical Analog output wiring. Notice that analog output will regulate 4-20mA current loop but DOES NOT source the power for it. External power is required.

ASS IGNING/RANGING THE 4-20MA AN ALOG OUT PUTS :

Go to the I/O assignment main menu and scroll to Analog Output Assignment. Press <ENTER>. A selection menu is prompted. Select the analog output number and then enter what the 4mA output will indicate and the 20mA. Make sure that the 20mA assignment value exceeds the upper range

limit of what you assigned the Analog output for, otherwise the analog output will not update beyond 20mA.

Turbine input wiring

Scroll to Turbine under Wiring and press <ENTER>. Two drawings above each other will show typical wiring for turbine meter 1 and turbine meter 2. When dual pick ups from the same turbine are connected, use the inputs for turbine 1 for pickup 1 and turbine 2 for the second pickup coil. When connecting sine wave directly from the pickup coil make sure the distance from the pickup coil to the flow computer is very short--less than 50 feet with shielded cable. In the event there is presence of noise, the distance must be shortened. When connecting sine wave signal, the R11 jumper for meter 1 must be installed and R3 jumper for meter 2 must be installed. (JP3 and JP2 must be off when using sine wave). On the other hand, when using square wave, the square wave signal can be sinusoidal but has to be above 5 volts peak to peak with less than 0.4 volts offset in order for the flow computer to read it. R11 and R3 must be off and JP3 on for meter 1; JP2 must be on for meter 2.

Note: When connecting square wave input, the JP3 and JP2 connect the turbine return to the

flow computer power return. Therefore, signal polarity is very important. Reverse polarity could result in some damage or power loss. When sine wave is used the signal polarity is usually of no significance.

The turbine input is immediately under the power input on terminal P1. The third pin down from the top is Turbine/PD "minus", and below it is Turbine plus. The second pulse input for Turbine/PD meter 2 or the second pickup coil is below turbine one input on P1. The fifth pin down from the top is turbine 2 "minus" signal and below it is Turbine/PD 2 plus signal.

Turbine input wiring for passive (dry contact) pulse generators

Some mass flow meters have pulse outputs that do not provide power but instead require external power, they are referred to as passive outputs, dry outputs, open collector, etc. (For example the Krohne UFM 3030 Mass meter).

In these cases the wiring should be as shown on the below diagram. The pull up resistor can be adjusted to limit the current sink by the Mass meter. For Turbine Input 1 JP3 must be ON and R11 OFF and if using Turbine Input 2 then JP2 must be ON and R3 OFF.

Density input wiring:

When using a live densitometer input with frequency signal, the signal can be brought into the Smart Flow Computer in its raw form. The Smart Flow Computer accepts a sine wave or square with or without DC offset. Example for density wiring can be seen in the wiring diagram. Use the arrow keys to get to

Wiring | Density and press ENTER. Find two drawings, one with barrier and the other without.

Barriers are used for area classification. Notice that the RTD wiring is also drawn to show how to hook the density RTD signal.

Note: When wiring the density input polarity is of significance and

reverse polarity could result in some damage or power loss. The density signal is on connector P4, the third and fourth pin down from the top. The third pin down is density plus, the fourth down is density minus. When Density input is 4-20mA it should be connected as a regular 4-20mA signal to the analog input and not the density frequency input.

CALIBRATION

Analog Input 4-20mA or 1-5 volt signal:

Calibrations are performed under I/O | Calibration. Use the arrow keys to scroll to

Calibration and press <ENTER>. After you press <ENTER> the screen should show COMMUNICATION STATUS : OK.

OFF SET CALIBRATION:

For simple offset type calibration simply induce the signal into the analog input and make sure the flow computer is reading it. After you verify that the flow computer recognized the analog input press <F8>. The screen will freeze. Scroll down to the analog input you are calibrating and enter the correct mA reading. Then press <ENTER> followed by pressing F3 function key to download. The screen will stay in the freeze mode. To bring the live readings press <F2> key , and then the flow computer will display the new calibrated readings. The offset type calibration is mainly used when a small offset adjustment needs to be changed in the full-scale reading. The offset will apply to the zero and span.

FULL CALIBRATION METHOD:

To perform full calibration be prepared to induce zero and span type signal.

1. Induce the low end signal i.e. 4mA in the analog input.

2. Press <F8> and scroll down to the reading then press <ALT><R> (alternate key and the letter R simultaneously). Then immediately enter the analog input value i.e. 4mA. Follow that by < ENTER> and then press <F3> function key to download data.

3. Now be ready to enter the full-scale value. Simply induce the analog signal and then enter the value i.e. 20mA, and then download by pressing <ENTER>, then press <F3> function key.

4. Induce live values to verify the calibration.

RTD calibration:

RTD Calibration is a 2-step process. The first step is a one time procedure to verify transducer linearity and is done at the time the meter is being setup. The second step is the routine calibration sequence.

Step 1 – Linearity Verification

1. Use a Decade box with 0-150 °F settings.

2. Connect RTD cable to this resistive element for verification of linearity. Verify low and high points.

It must be within ½ degree.

3. Connect the actual RTD element and compare with a certified thermometer.

4. If not within ½ degree do a Full Calibration (See Full Calibration below). If problem persists verify

other elements such as RTD Probe, connections, shield, conductivity of connectors, etc. The purpose of the above procedure is to verify zero and span and make sure that the two points

fall within the expected tolerance.

Step 2 – Routine Calibration

Once Linearity has been verified through Step 1, the routine calibration procedure is reduced to simply connecting the actual RTD and doing an offset point calibration (see offset calibration below).

Calibration after that will be simple verification for the stability of the transmitter. If it drifts abnormally then you need to verify the other parts involved.

RESET TO DEFAULT CALIBRATION

To go back to the default calibration simply press <F8> and scroll to the RTD input, and press <ALT> <R> key followed by <F3> function key.

OFFSET CALIBRATION:

For offset calibration simply go to I/O | Calibration and press < ENTER>. Once the flow computer shows communication status OK press <F8> function key and scroll to RTD. Induce a live value and wait for 10 seconds for the reading to stabilize. Then enter the live value followed

by <F3> function key to download the direct reading. The value entered must be in ohms only.

FULL SCALE CALIBRATION:

1. Prepare low range resistive input (i.e., 80) and High range resistive input (i.e., 120). Go to the calibration menu and press <F8> function key. Scroll to the RTD input you are calibrating and press <ALT> <R> (key <ALT> and the letter R at the same time). Induce the low end (80) resistive signal and then wait 10 seconds and enter 80 followed by pressing the <F3> function key.

2. Induce higher range signal (120) and wait 10 seconds, then enter the number 120 ohm and press the <F3> key.

3. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading.

Calibration of analog output:

To calibrate the analog output against the end device follow the following steps:

1. Go to the calibration menu and press <F8>. Scroll down to analog output and press <ENTER> and then <ALT><R>. This will cause the flow computer to output the minimum possible signal 3.25 mA. Enter the live output value reading in the end device i.e. 3.25 mA and press <F3> function key. Now the flow computer will output full scale 21.75 mA. Enter the live output i.e. 21.75 then press the <F3> key.

2. Now verify the output against the calibration device.

Multi-Variable Transmitters (Model 205)- DP and Pressure

OFF SET CALIBRATION

1. Induce live value for temperature, pressure, or DP.

2. Go to Calibration - Multi-Variable menu.

3. Press <F8>, point to the value being calibrated, enter the correct value followed by

<ENTER>, and then press <F3> to download data.

4. Now read induce live values to verify the calibration.

FULL SCALE CALIBRATION

1. Press <F8>. Scroll to the parameter to be calibrated, and then press <ALT><R>

2. Induce the low range signal, then press <ENTER> followed by <F3>.

3. Induce the high range signal, then press <ENTER> followed by <F3>.

4. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading.

TO USE DEFAULT CALIBRATION

Verifying Digital Inputs and Outputs

Use the diagnostic menu. Scroll down by using the arrow keys to Diag | Diagnostic Data and press <ENTER>. A live input and output is displayed. On the top of the screen pulse inputs and density frequency input are shown. Compare the live value against the displayed value on the screen. Failure to

read turbine input could be a result of a bad preamplifier or the jumper selection for sine and square wave input are not in the right position. Refer to wiring diagram Wiring | Turbine for proper turbine input wiring. Density input can be sine or square wave with or without DC offset. Minimum accepted signal has to be greater than 1.2 volt peak to peak. Status input is shown below the frequency input to the left of the screen. When the status input is on, the live diagnostic data will show ON. Minimum voltage to activate the status is 7 volts with negative threshold of 2 volts. Switch outputs are to the right of the status inputs. Press <F8> in the diagnostic menu to manually activate the switch outputs to the on and off position. After the screen freeze the cursor will point to switch output one. Use the space bar to toggle the switch on/off and the <ENTER> key to advance to the next switch.

Pulse Interpolation:

When interfacing with Small Volume Provers (SVP), Dynamic uses Dual chronometry as the pulse interpolation method which is required for provers providing less then 10,000 unaltered pulses.

Pulse interpolation is a pulse counting technique used to calculate the total number of meter pulses between two detectors, including fractional pulses. A conventional pipe prover requires a minimum of 10,000 unaltered pulses to ensure an accurate test. This minimum is based upon the assumption there is a potential error of 1 pulse each time a detector is passed, which equates to a 2-pulse error per run. The value of 2 pulses per 10,000 equates to a potential 0.02 % error. SVPs require less than 10,000 pulses, which would equate to a potential error greater than 0.02 %.

To enhance the meter's pulse output, Small Volume Provers use pulse interpolation for fractional meter pulse counting. To interpolate fractional meter pulses or to mathematically interpolate partial pulses, Dynamic uses the double chronometry method for this purpose since it is the method most widely used.

Double Chronometry:

Double chronometry pulse interpolation increments time precisely every millisecond. A high frequency master oscillator operates two time counters referred to as Time A and Time B. Time A starts when the first detector switch is tripped, and Time B starts with the leading edge of the first flow meter pulse after Time A has started. Time A is stopped when the final detector is tripped and Time B is stopped with the leading edge of the first flow meter pulse after Time A has stopped (see figure below). Using the ratio of Time A and Time B allows for counting of a fraction of the flow meter pulse.

K = K Factor, or counts per unit Volume, from the flow meter. A = Time for displaced volume. B = Time for whole meter pulses. C = Total number of whole meter pulses. D = Displaced Volume

CHAPTER 2: Data Entry

and Configuration Menus

Introduction to the Smart Flow Computer Software Introduction to the Flow Computer Software

Your SFC3 software is constructed around a menu-driven organization. Begin your software and, across the top of your screen, you see a bar like this:

This is called the menu bar. It consists primarily of series of topics–Port, Diag, and so forth. When you move the cursor to a topic you will see a list–we will call it a menu list– of topics related to the main topic on the menu bar. At the bottom of the screen is the prompt bar. It informs you of appropriate actions that you can perform while your cursor is at its present location. In this example:

you are informed that your valid choices are the four arrow (, , , and )keys, the ENTER key, and the  key.

Another important area of the screen is the filename area. This is the rightmost section of the menu bar; it informs you what configuration file you are presently viewing and editing. In the example above, you are

editing the file mainunits. When you first begin the SFC sotware, however, it will display because no file has yet been chosen. Until you choose a file to edit or view, by opening either an existing file or a new one, you will not be able to move from the File menu item. The center portion of the screen is simply called the viewing area. Here you view either various menu lists or the prompt window associated with an item in a menu list after it is selected (that is, after you press

ENTER). When you are in a prompt window the message appears in the filename area.

Under certain conditions you will have a screen where the viewing area takes up the whole screen and the menu and/or prompt bars disappear. Examples of these are: the wiring diagrams, the calibration windows, and the Diag windows.

There are two available ports in the Flow Computer. Port 1 is the RS-485 Modbus port. Port 2 is the RS232 Modbus port. The PC set up must match the Flow Computer port set up.

Unit ID Number

The Unit ID Number is used strictly for communication purposes; it can take any value from 1 to 247. Only one master can exist in each loop.

Note: Do not duplicate the Unit ID number in a single communication loop!

This situation will lead to response collisions and inhibit communications to units with duplicate ID numbers.

Baud rate is defined as number of bits per second. The available selections are 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.

Transmit Delay

This Delay in milliseconds is used to allow hand shaking between the PC and the Flow Computer. The PC will hold the RTS line high for the specified Transmit Delay time. After that time expires the data stream will begin transmitting. Transmit Delay is applicable regardless of the type of communication with the Flow Computer (RS-232 or RS-485). This function can be very useful, especially when using a half-duplex RS-485 port; it allows the RS-485 port to turn off. A delay of 50 milliseconds is normally sufficient. RTS can also be used as transmit line to printer. (RTS to Pin2, Common to Pin7)

Select 0=RTS,1=Printer

RTS line has dual function selection; either RTS for driving request to send or transmit to serial printer. To use serial printer interface for printing reports, ie.batch, daily, interval and proving. Connect the serial printer pin2 to RTS and common return to pin7 and select 1 for printer.

Port #2 Number of Nulls

This function is used because no hand shaking with the printer is available and data can become garbled as the printer’s buffer is filled. The Flow Computer will send nulls at the end of each line to allow time for the carriage to return. Printers with large buffers do not require additional nulls. If data is still being garbled, try reducing the baud rate to 1200.

Switch Output Assignment

I/O | Switch Output Assignment

The Flow Computer switch outputs are open collector type and require external D.C power. Assignment 15 are for pulse output. Assignment in the "Other Parameters" menu are ON/OFF type outputs. Switch 1-5 can be pulse or contact type output, switch 6-17 are only contact type outputs. Pulse output/unit value entry is in other parameters assignment. PLC is required (GE 90-Micro) for switch 6-17.

ASS IGNMENTS - PULSE OUTPUTS

Pulse Output and Pulse Output Width

Pulse Output is used to activate a sampler or external totalizer. The number selected will be pulses per unit volume or per unit mass. If 0.1 pulse is selected, the one pulse will be given every 10 unit volumes has passed through the meter. Pulse Output Width is the duration, in milliseconds, of one complete pulse cycle (where each cycle is the pulse plus a wait period, in a 50/50 ratio). For example: if POW = 500 msec, the Smart Flow Computer at most can produce one pulse each second regardless of the pulse per unit volume selected (500 msec pulse + 500 msec wait). If POW = 10 msec the Smart Flow Computer can produce up to 50 pulses per second.

The Flow Computer’s maximum pulse output is 125 pulses/sec. The Pulse Output in combination with the

Pulse Output Width should be set so that this number is not exceeded.

Modbus Shift

Reassigns Modbus address registers on one Flow Computer to variables for easy polling and convenience. Use Modbus Shift to collect values in scattered Modbus registers into a consecutive order. The Flow Computer will repeat the assigned variables into the selected locations. Note: some Modbus registers are 2 byte/16 bit, and some are 4 byte/32 bit. Register size incompatibility could cause rejection to certain address assignments. Refer to the manual for more details and a listing of the Modbus Address Table Registers. Example: you want to read the current status of switches #1 and #2 (addresses 2617 and 2618) and the Forward and Reverse Daily Gross Total for Meter #1 ( addresses 3173 and 3189). Make assignments such as:

FUNCTION CODE

To inform the slave device of what function to perform

ERROR CHECK

LRC MODE

The LRC check is transmitted as two ASCII hexadecimal characters. First, the message has to be stripped of the: LF, CR, and then converted the HEX ASCII to Binary. Add the Binary bits and then two's complement the result.

CRC MODE

The entire message is considered in the CRC mode. Most significant bit is transmitted first. The message is pre-multiplied by 16. The integer quotient digits are ignored and the 16-bit remainder is appended to the message as the two CRC check bytes. The resulting message including the CRC, when divided by the same polynomial (X16+X15+X2+1) at the receiver, which will give zero remainder if no error, has occurred.

EXCEPTION RESPONSE

Exception response comes from the slave if it finds errors in communication. The slave responds to the master echoing the slave address, function code (with high bit set), exception code and error check. To indicate that the response is notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to 1.

BROADCAST COMMAND

All units listen to Unit ID Zero, and no one will respond when the write function is broadcasted.
