Environmental Compliance

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

GE Measurement & Control is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative, directive 2012/19/EU.

The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.

In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.

If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional waste administration.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Multi-Parameter Vortex Mass Flowmeters

The GE PanaFlow™ MV80 & MV82 Vortex Flowmeters provide a reliable solution for process flow measurement. From a single entry point in the pipeline, MV80 & MV82 meters offer precise measurements of mass or volumetric flow rates.

1.1.1 Multi-Parameter Mass Flowmeters

Mass flowmeters utilize three primary sensing elements: a vortex shedding velocity sensor, an RTD temperature sensor and a solid state pressure sensor to measure the mass flow rate of gases, liquids, and steam.

Meters are available as loop powered devices or with up to three 4-20 mA analog output signals for monitoring your choice of the five process variables (mass flow, volumetric flow, temperature, pressure and fluid density). The Energy Monitoring option permits real-time calculation of energy consumption for a facility or process.

1.1.2 Volumetric Flowmeters

The primary sensing element of a volumetric flowmeter is a vortex shedding velocity sensor. The analog 4-20 mA output signal offers your choice of volumetric or mass flow rate. Mass flow rate is based on a constant value for fluid density stored in the instrument's memory.

Both the mass and volumetric flowmeters can be ordered with a local keypad/display which provides instantaneous flow rate, total, and process parameters in engineering units. A pulse output signal for remote totalization and MODBUS, BACNET or HART communications are also available. PanaFlow digital electronics allows for easy reconfiguration for most gases, liquids and steam. The PanaFlow MV80 & MV82 Meters' simple installation combines with an easy-to-use interface that provides quick set up, long term reliability and accurate mass flow measurement over a wide range of flows, pressures and temperatures.

1.2 How the PanaFlow Vortex Mass Flowmeter Operates

PanaFlow MV80 and MV82 Mass Flowmeters (see Figure 1 below) use a unique sensor head to monitor mass flow rate by directly measuring three variables-fluid velocity, temperature and pressure. The built-in flow computer calculates the mass flow rate and volumetric flow rate based on these three direct measurements. The velocity, temperature and pressure sensing head is built into the vortex meter's flow body. To measure fluid velocity, the flowmeter incorporates a bluff body (shedder bar) in the flow stream and measures the frequency of vortices created by the shedder bar. Temperature is measured using a platinum resistance temperature detector (PRTD). Pressure measurement is achieved using a solid-state pressure transducer. All three elements are combined into an integrated sensor head assembly located downstream of the shedder bar within the flow body.

Figure 1: In-Line Vortex Multi-Parameter Mass Flowmeter

1.3 Velocity Measurement

The PanaFlow vortex velocity sensor is a patented mechanical design that minimizes the effects of pipeline vibration and pump noise, both of which are common error sources in flow measurement with vortex flowmeters. The velocity measurement is based on the well-known Von Karman vortex shedding phenomenon. Vortices are shed from a shedder bar, and the vortex velocity sensor located downstream of the shedder bar senses the passage of these vortices. This method of velocity measurement has many advantages including inherent linearity, high turndown, reliability and simplicity.

1.3.1 Vortex Shedding Frequency

Von Karman vortices form downstream of a shedder bar into two distinct wakes. The vortices of one wake rotate clockwise while those of the other wake rotate counterclockwise. Vortices generate one at a time, alternating from the left side to the right side of the shedder bar. Vortices interact with their surrounding space by over-powering every other nearby swirl on the verge of development. Close to the shedder bar, the distance (or wave length) between vortices is always constant and measurable. Therefore, the volume encompassed by each vortex remains constant, as shown in Figure 2 below. By sensing the number of vortices passing by the velocity sensor, the PanaFlow™ Flowmeter computes the total fluid volume.

Figure 2: Measurement Principle of Vortex Flowmeters

1.3.2 Vortex Frequency Sensing

The velocity sensor incorporates a piezoelectric element that senses the vortex frequency. This element detects the alternating lift forces produced by the Von Karman vortices flowing downstream of the vortex shedder bar. The alternating electric charge generated by the piezoelectric element is processed by the transmitter's electronic circuit to obtain the vortex shedding frequency. The piezoelectric element is highly sensitive and operates over a wide range of flows, pressures and temperatures.

1.3.3 Flow Velocity Range

To ensure trouble-free operation, vortex flowmeters must be correctly sized so that the flow velocity range through the meter lies within the measurable velocity range (with acceptable pressure drop) and the linear range.

The measurable range is defined by the minimum and maximum velocity using Table 1 below.

The linear range is defined by the Reynolds number. The Reynolds number is the ratio of the inertial forces to the viscous forces in a flowing fluid and is defined as:

Where,

Re = Reynolds Number

ρ = mass density of the fluid being measured

V = velocity of the fluid being measured D = internal diameter of the flow channel

μ = viscosity of the fluid being measured

The Strouhal number is the other dimensionless number that quantifies the vortex phenomenon. The Strouhal number is defined as:

Where,

St = Strouhal Number f = frequency of vortex shedding d = shedder bar width V = fluid velocity

1.3.3 Flow Velocity Range (cont.)

As shown in Figure 3 below, PanaFlow meters exhibit a constant Strouhal number across a large range of Reynolds numbers, indicating a consistent linear output over a wide range of flows and fluid types. Below this linear range, the intelligent electronics in PanaFlow automatically corrects for the variation in the Strouhal number with the Reynolds number. The meter's smart electronics corrects for this non-linearity via its simultaneous measurements of the process fluid temperature and pressure. This data is then used to calculate the Reynolds number in real time. PanaFlow meters automatically correct down to a Reynolds number of 5,000.

1.4 Temperature Measurement

PanaFlow Flowmeters use a 1000 ohm platinum resistance temperature detector (PRTD) to measure fluid temperature.

1.5 Pressure Measurement

PanaFlow Flowmeters incorporate a solid-state pressure transducer isolated by a 316 stainless steel diaphragm. The transducer itself is micro-machined silicon, fabricated using integrated circuit processing technology. A nine-point pressure/temperature calibration is performed on every sensor. Digital compensation allows these transducers to operate within a 0.3% of full scale accuracy band within the entire ambient temperature range of –40°F to 140°F (–40 to 60°C). Thermal isolation of the pressure transducer ensures the same accuracy across the allowable process fluid temperature range of –330°F to 750°F (–200 to 400°C).

1.6 Flowmeter Configurations

PanaFlow Vortex Mass Flowmeters are available in two model configurations:

• Series MV80 in-line flowmeter (replaces a section of the pipeline)

• Series MV82 insertion flowmeter (requires a “cold” tap or a “hot” tap into an existing pipeline)

Both the in-line and insertion configurations are similar in that they both use identical electronics and have similar sensor heads. Besides installation differences, the main difference between an in-line flowmeter and an insertion flowmeter is their method of measurement.

For an in-line vortex flowmeter, the shedder bar is located across the entire diameter of the flow body. Thus, the entire pipeline flow is included in the vortex formation and measurement. The sensing head, which directly measures velocity, temperature and pressure is located just downstream of the shedder bar.

Insertion vortex flowmeters have a shedder bar located across the diameter of a short tube. The velocity, temperature and pressure sensor are located within this tube just downstream of a built-in shedder bar. This entire assembly is called the insertion sensing head. It fits through any entry port with a 1.875 inch minimum internal diameter.

The sensing head of an insertion vortex flowmeter directly monitors the velocity at a point in the cross-sectional area of a pipe, duct, or stack (referred to as “channels”). The velocity at a point in the pipe varies as a function of the Reynolds number. The insertion vortex flowmeter computes the Reynolds number and then computes the total flow rate in the channel. The output signal of insertion meters is the total flow rate in the channel. The accuracy of the total flow rate computation depends on adherence to the piping installation requirements given in Chapter 2. If adherence to those guidelines cannot be met, contact GE for specific installation advice.

1.6.1 Multivariable Options

The MV80 or MV82 models are available with the following options:

• V = volumetric flowmeter

• VT = velocity and temperature sensors

• VTP = velocity, temperature, and pressure sensors

• VT-EM = energy output options

• VTP-EM = energy options with pressure

• VT-EP = external pressure transmitter input.

The packing gland design can be ordered with a permanent or removable retractor.

The MV80 In-line model can be built with A105 carbon steel, 316L stainless steel, or Hastelloy C-276. The MV82 Insertion model can be built with 316L stainless steel or Hastelloy C-276.

1.6.3 Flowmeter Electronics

PanaFlow flowmeter electronics are available mounted directly to the flow body, or remotely mounted. The electronics housing may be used indoors or outdoors, including wet environments. Available input power options are: DC loop powered (2-wire), DC powered or AC powered. Three analog output signals are available for your choice of three of the five process variables: mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, temperature, pressure or fluid density. A pulse output signal for remote totalization and MODBUS or HART communications are also available.

PanaFlow flowmeters include a local 2 x16 character LCD display housed within the enclosure. Local operation and reconfiguration is accomplished using six push buttons operated via finger touch. For hazardous locations, the six buttons can be operated with the electronics enclosure sealed using a hand-held magnet, thereby not compromising the integrity of the hazardous location certification.

The electronics include nonvolatile memory that stores all configuration information. The nonvolatile memory allows the flowmeter to function immediately upon power up, or after an interruption in power. All flowmeters are calibrated and configured for the customer's flow application.

2.1 Installation Overview

PanaFlow Vortex Flowmeter installations are simple and straightforward. Both the Series MV80 In-Line and Series MV82 Insertion type flowmeter installations are covered in this chapter. After reviewing the installation requirements given below, see page 11 for Series MV80 installation instructions. See “Series MV82 Insertion Flowmeter

Installation” on page 15 for Series MV82 installation instructions. Wiring instructions begin in “Loop Power Flowmeter Wiring Connections” on page 32.

2.1.1 Flowmeter Installation Requirements

WARNING! Consult the flowmeter nameplate for specific flowmeter approvals before any

hazardous location installation.

Before installing the flowmeter, verify that the installation site allows for these considerations:

1. Line pressure and temperature will not exceed the flowmeter rating.

2. The location meets the required minimum number of pipe diameters upstream and downstream of the sensor

head as illustrated in Figure 4 on page 10.

3. Safe and convenient access with adequate overhead clearance for maintenance purposes.

4. Verify that the cable entry into the instrument meets the specific standard required for hazardous area

installations.

5. For remote installations, verify the supplied cable length is sufficient to connect the flowmeter sensor to the remote electronics.

Also, before installation, check your flow system for anomalies such as:

• Leaks

• Valves or restrictions in the flow path which could create disturbances in the flow profile that might cause

unexpected flow rate indications

2.1.2 Unobstructed Flow Requirements

Select an installation site that will minimize possible distortion in the flow profile. Valves, elbows, control valves and other piping components may cause flow disturbances. Check your specific piping condition against the examples shown in Figure 4 below. In order to achieve accurate and repeatable performance install the flowmeter using the recommended number of straight run pipe diameters upstream and downstream of the sensor.

Note: For liquid applications in vertical pipes, avoid installing with flow in the downward direction because the pipe

may not be full at all points. Choose to install the meter with flow in the upward direction if possible.

2.2 Series MV80 In-Line Flowmeter Installation

Install the Series MV80 In-Line Flowmeter between two conventional pipe flanges as shown in Figure 6 on page 12 and Figure 7 on page 14. Table 2 below provides the recommended minimum stud bolt lengths for wafer-style meter body size and different flange ratings.

The meter inside diameter is equal to the same size nominal pipe ID in schedule 80. For example, a 2" meter has an ID of 1.939" (2" schedule 80). Do not install the meter in a pipe with an inside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of the meter. For schedule 160 and higher pipe, a special meter is required. Consult GE before purchasing the meter.

Series MV80 Meters require customer-supplied gaskets. When selecting gasket material make sure that it is compatible with the process fluid and pressure ratings of the specific installation. Verify that the inside diameter of the gasket is larger than the inside diameter of the flowmeter and adjacent piping. If the gasket material extends into the flow stream, it will disturb the flow and cause inaccurate measurements.

2.2.1 Flange Bolt Specifications

2.2.2 Installing Wafer-Style Flowmeters

Install the wafer-style meter between two conventional pipe flanges of the same nominal size as the flowmeter (see Figure 6 below). If the process fluid is a liquid, make sure the meter is located where the pipe is always full. This may require locating the meter at a low point in the piping system.

Note: Vortex flowmeters are not suitable for two-phase flows, such as liquid and gas mixtures.

For horizontal pipelines having a process temperature above 300° F, mount the meter at a 45 or 90-degree angle to avoid overheating the electronics enclosure. To adjust the viewing angle of the enclosure or display/keypad, see “Display/Keypad Adjustment (All Meters)” on page 30 and “Enclosure Adjustment (Series MV80 Only)” on page 31.

When installing the meter make sure the section marked with a flow arrow is positioned upstream of the outlet, with the arrow head pointing in the direction of flow. (The mark is on the wafer adjacent to the enclosure mounting neck.) This ensures that the sensor head is positioned downstream of the vortex shedder bar and is correctly aligned to the flow. Installing the meter opposite this direction will result in completely inaccurate flow measurement.

CAUTION! When using toxic or corrosive gases, purge the line with inert gas for a minimum of four

hours at full gas flow before installing the flowmeter.

Chapter 2. Installation

2.2.2 Installing Wafer-Style Flowmeters (cont.)

To install the meter, complete the following steps:

1. Turn off the flow of process gas, liquid or steam. Verify that the line is not pressurized. Confirm that the installation site meets the required minimum upstream and downstream pipe diameters.

2. Insert the studs for the bottom side of the meter body between the pipe flanges. Place the wafer-style meter body between the flanges with the end stamped with a flow arrow on the upstream side, with the arrow head pointing in the direction of flow. Center the meter body inside the diameter with respect to the inside diameter of the adjoining piping.

3. Position the gasket material between the mating surfaces. Make sure both gaskets are smooth and even with no gasket material extending into the flow profile. Obstructions in the pipeline will disturb the flow and cause inaccurate measurements.

4. Place the remaining studs between the pipe flanges. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown in Figure 5 on page 11. Check for leaks after tightening the flange bolts.

2.3 Series MV82 Insertion Flowmeter Installation

2.3.1 General Installation Guidelines

Prepare the pipeline for installation using either a cold tap or hot tap method described in this section. Refer to a standard code for all pipe tapping operations. The following tapping instructions are general in nature and intended for guideline purposes only. Before installing the meter, review the mounting position and isolation value requirements given in the following sub-sections.

2.3.1a Electronics Enclosure Clearance

Allow clearance between the electronics enclosure top and any obstruction when the meter is fully retracted.

2.3.1b Isolation Valve Selection

An isolation valve is available as an option with Series MV82 meters. If you supply the isolation valve, refer to Figure 8 below and verify that it meets the following requirements:

1. A minimum valve bore diameter of 1.875 inches is required, and the valve’s body size should be two inches. Normally, gate valves are used.

2. Verify that the valve’s body and flange rating are within the flowmeter’s maximum operating pressure and temperature.

3. Choose an isolation valve with at least a two inch distance between the flange face and the gate portion of the valve. This ensures that the flowmeter’s sensor head will not interfere with the operation of the isolation valve.

18 PanaFlow™ MV80 & MV82 User’s Manual

Chapter 2. Installation

2.3.1e Insertion Guidelines

The sensor head must be properly positioned in the pipe. For this reason, it is important that insertion length calculations are carefully followed. A sensor probe inserted at the wrong depth in the pipe will result in inaccurate readings.

Insertion flowmeters are applicable to pipes 2 inch and larger. For pipe sizes ten inches and smaller, the centerline of the meter's sensing head is located at the pipe's centerline. For pipe sizes larger than ten inches, the centerline of the sensing head is located in the pipe's cross section five inches from the inner wall of the pipe. That is, its “wetted” depth from the wall to the centerline of the sensing head is five inches.

Insertion flowmeters are available in three probe lengths:

• Standard Probe configuration is used with most flowmeter process connections. The length (S) of the stem is

29.47 inches.

• Compact Probe configuration is used with compression fitting process connections. The length (S) of the stem

is 13.1 inches.

• 12-Inch Extended Probe configuration is used with exceptionally lengthy flowmeter process connections. The

length (

S) of the stem is 41.47 inches.

2.3.1f Selecting the Correct Insertion Formula

WARNING! An insertion tool must be used for any installation where a flowmeter is inserted under

pressure greater than 50 psig.

Depending on your flowmeter's process connection, use the applicable insertion length formula and installation procedure as follows:

• For flowmeters with a compression type connection (NPT or flanged), follow the instructions beginning in

“Installing Flowmeters with a Compression Connection” on page 20.

• For flowmeters with a packing gland type connection (NPT or flanged), configured with an insertion tool,

follow the instructions in “Installing Flowmeters with a Packing Gland Connection” on page 23.

• For flowmeters with a packing gland type connection (NPT or flanged), configured without an insertion tool,

follow the instructions in “Installing Flowmeters with a Packing Gland Connection (No Insertion Tool)” on page 28.

Example 2 - NPT Style Meters:

In this example, the length of thread engagement on the NPT style meters must also subtracted in the equation shown in Figure 13 on page 23. The length of the threaded portion of the NPT meter is 1.18 inches. Measure the threaded portion still visible after the installation and subtract that amount from 1.18 inches. This gives you the thread engagement length. If this cannot be measured, use 0.55 inch for this amount.

• F = 12 inches

• R = 5 inches

• t = 0.438 inches

• thread engagement = 1.18 inches - visible thread length (or 0.55 inches nominal value)

For this example, the equation yields an insertion length of 15.54 inches.

2.3.6 Installing Flowmeters with a Packing Gland Connection (No Insertion Tool) (cont.)

WARNING! The line pressure must be less than 50 psig for installation.

To install the meter, complete the following steps:

1. Calculate the required sensor probe insertion length.

2. Fully retract the stem until the sensor head is touching the bottom of the stem housing. Remove the two top

stem clamp nuts and loosen two stem clamp bolts. Slide the stem clamp away to expose the packing gland nuts. Loosen the two packing gland nuts.

CAUTION! The sensor alignment pointer must point downstream, in the direction of flow.

3. Align the sensor head using the sensor alignment pointer. Adjust the alignment pointer parallel to the pipe and

pointing downstream.

4. Insert the sensor head into the pipe until the correct insertion length (

I) is achieved. Do not force the stem into

the pipe.

5. Tighten the packing gland nuts to stop leakage around the stem. Do not use a torque over 20 ft-lb.

6. Slide the stem clamp back into position, and torque the stem clamp bolts to 15 ft-lb. Replace the stem clamp

nuts and torque them to 10-15 ft-lb.

2.5.3 Pulse Output Connections

The pulse output is used for a remote counter. When the preset volume or mass, as defined in the totalizer settings (see “The Totalizer #1 Menu” on page 60) has passed through the meter, the output provides a 50 millisecond square pulse.

The pulse output requires a separate 5 to 36 VDC power supply connected to the normally-open, single-pole pulse output optical relay (see Figure 22 or Figure 23 below). The relay has a nominal 200 volt/160 ohm rating (i.e., it has a nominal on-resistance of 160 ohms, and the largest voltage it can withstand across the output terminals is 200 volts). However, there are current and power specifications that must be observed. The relay can conduct a current up to 40 mA and it can dissipate up to 320 mW of power. The relay output is isolated from the meter electronics and power supply.

2.5.6 Remote Electronics Wiring

The remote electronics enclosure should be mounted in a convenient, easy-to-reach location. For hazardous location installations, make sure to observe agency requirements for installation. Allow some slack in the interface cable between the junction box and the remote electronics enclosure. To prevent damage to the wiring connections, do not put stress on the wiring connections at any time.

The meter is shipped with temporary strain relief glands at each end of the cable. Refer to Figure 27 below, and disconnect the cable from the meter's terminal block inside the junction box only. Do not disconnect the cable from the remote electronics enclosure. Remove both strain relief glands and install appropriate conduit entry glands and conduit. After the installation is complete, re-connect each labeled wire to the corresponding terminal position on the junction box terminal block.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to connect the shield for each wire pair.

Note: Incorrect connections will cause the meter to malfunction.

Note: The numeric code in the junction box label matches the wire labels.

3.3.6 The Totalizer #1 Menu

Use the Totalizer Menu to configure and monitor the totalizer. The totalizer output is a 50 millisecond (.05 second) positive pulse (relay closed for 50 milliseconds). The totalizer cannot operate faster than one pulse every 100 millisecond (.1 second). A good rule to follow is to set the unit per pulse value equal to the maximum flow in the same units per second. This will limit the pulse to no faster than one pulse every second.

As an example of how to set an output, refer to Figure 58 on page 61. This example shows how to set the totalizer to track mass flow in kg/sec.

Note: All outputs are disabled while using the Setup Menus.

First, set the desired units of measurement:

1. Use keys to move to the Units Menu (see to “The Units Menu” on page 67).

2. Press the key until Mass Flow Unit appears. Press ENTER.

3. Press the key until kg appears in the numerator. Press the key to move the underline cursor to the

denominator. Press the key until sec appears in the denominator. Press ENTER to select.

4. Press the key until Units Menu appears.

Second, set the pulse output:

1. Use keys to move to the Totalizer Menu.

2. Press the key until Totaling appears.

3. Press ENTER and press the key to select Mass. Press ENTER.

4. Press the key to set the pulse output in the units you have selected for mass flow of kg/sec. Press ENTER and

use keys to set the pulse value equal to the maximum flow in the same units per second. Press ENTER.

5. To reset the totalizer, press the key until Reset Total? appears. Press ENTER and the key to reset the totalizer if desired. Press ENTER.

3.3.8 The Energy Menu for EMS Energy Meters Only

There are several possibilities regarding the measurement of water or steam energy, given the location of the meter and the use of a second RTD. Tabl e 3 below summarizes the possibilities:

Table 3: Configuration Options

Fluid Meter Location Second RTD Measurement

Water “Sent” Flow Line “Return” Flow Line Change in Energy

Water “Return” Flow Line “Sent” Flow Line Change in Energy

Water “Sent” Flow Line None Outgoing Energy

Steam “Sent” Flow Line “Return” Flow Line (condensate) Change in Energy

Steam “Sent” Flow Line None Outgoing Energy

To use the above options, you must properly configure the meter in the Energy Menu (see Figure 60 on page 64) by completing these steps:

Loc in Sent Flow? Select Yes or No based on where the meter is located. Refer to Table 3 above.

Heating System? Select Yes for a hot water system used for heating. Select No for a chilled water system used

for cooling. Always select

Yes for a steam system.

% Returned. Select a number between 0% and 100%. Estimate the amount of water that returns. It is usually

100%, or can be less than 100% if historical data shows the amount of makeup water used. If a second RTD is not used, set to 0%. When 0% is selected, the energy calculation represents the outgoing energy only (no return energy is subtracted).

Note: The meter ships from the factory assuming 0% return and has a 1000 ohm resistor installed in the RTD #2

wiring location. This needs to be removed if the meter is to be used in a manner other than with 0% return and with the customer-supplied RTD in its place.

3.3.9 The Fluid Menu

Use the Fluid Menu (see Figure 61 on page 66) to configure the flowmeter for use with common gases, liquids and steam. Your flowmeter is pre-programmed at the factory for your application's process fluid.

Reference Richard W. Miller, Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook (Third Edition, 1996), page 2-75 for definition and use of the Goyal-Doraiswamy equation and page 2-76 for the definition and use of the API 2540 equation. Also, see Appendix C for Fluid Calculation equations.

The units of measurement used in the Fluid Menu are preset and are as follows:

• Mole Weight = lb

/(lbm·mol)

• CRIT PRESS = psia

• CRIT TEMP = °R

• Density = Kg/m

• Viscosity = cP (centipoise).

Use the Diagnostics Menu (see Figure 64 on page 70) to simulate operation and review the system files. The system log files contain time/date stamped messages including: power on, power off, programming time outs, parameter faults, incorrect password entry and other various information relative to system operation and programming.

The simulated inputs are for testing the meter to verify that the programming is correct. They are also used to enter nominal operating temperature and pressure for the V only model. Simulated vortex frequency allows you to enter any value for the sensor input in Hz. The meter will calculate a flow rate based on the corresponding value and update all analog outputs ( temperature settings work the same way. The meter will output these new values and will use them to calculate a new density for mass flow measurement.

Note: When your diagnostic work is complete, make sure to return the values to zero to allow the electronics to use

the actual transducer values. For the V only model, keep the temperature and pressure at nominal operating conditions.

If the meter display indicates a temperature or pressure fault, a substitute value can be entered to allow flow calculations to continue at a fixed value until the source of the fault is identified and corrected.

Chapter 4. Serial Communications

4.2.6 Menu Items

The following menu items are in the Output Menu and allow selection and control of the Modbus communication protocol.

4.2.6a Address

When the Modbus protocol is selected, the Modbus address is equal to the user programmable device address if it is in the range 1…247, in accordance with the Modbus specification. If the device address is zero or is greater than 247, then the Modbus address is internally set to 1.

4.2.6b Comm Protocol

The Comm Protocol menu allows selection of “Modbus RTU Even,” “Modbus RTU Odd,” “Modbus RTU None2” or “Modbus RTU None1” (non-standard Modbus) with Even, Odd and None referring to the parity selection. When even or odd parity is selected, the unit is configured for 8 data bits, 1 parity bit and 1 stop bit; with no parity, the number of stop bits is 1 (non-standard) or 2. When changing the protocol, the change is made as soon as the ENTER key is pressed.

4.2.6c Modbus Units

The Modbus Units menu is used to control the display units, where applicable, for the meter's variables. The internal

base units of the meter are: °F, psia, lbm/sec, ft selected display units.

/sec, Btu/sec, lbm/ft3. The display variables are displayed in the user

4.2.6d Modbus Order

The byte order within registers and the order in which multiple registers containing floating point or long integer data are transmitted may be changed with this menu item. According to the Modbus specification, the most significant byte of a register is transmitted first, followed by the least significant byte. The Modbus specification does not prescribe the order in which registers are transmitted when multiple registers represent values longer than 16 bits. Using this menu item, the order in which registers representing floating point or long integer data and/or the byte order within the registers may be reversed for compatibility with some PLCs and PC software.

Tabl e 5 below lists the four selections are available in this menu. When selecting an item, the protocol is changed immediately without having to press the ENTER key.

Table 5: Modbus Order Options

Order Description

0-1:2-3 Most significant register first, most significant byte first (default)

2-3:0-1 Least significant register first, most significant byte first

1-0:3-2 Most significant register first, least significant byte first

3-2:1-0 Least significant register first, least significant byte first

All of the registers are affected by the byte order, including strings and registers representing 16-bit integers. The register order affects only the order of those registers representing 32-bit floating point and long integer data, but does not affect single 16-bit integers or strings.

86 PanaFlow™ MV80 & MV82 User’s Manual

Chapter 4. Serial Communications

4.2.6e Modbus Protocol

The Modbus RTU protocol is supported in this implementation. Supported baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. The default baud rate is 19200 baud. Depending upon the Modbus protocol selected, data is transmitted in 8-bit data frames with even or odd parity and 1 stop bit, or no parity and 2 or 1 (non-standard) stop bits.

The current Modbus protocol specification does not define register usage. However, there is an informal obsolete register numbering convention (see Table 6 below) which is derived from the original Modicon Modbus protocol specification. This convention is used by many vendors of Modbus capable products.

Table 6: Register Numbering Convention

Registers Usage Valid Function Codes

00001-09999 Read/write bits (“coils”) 01 (read coils)

05 (write single coil) 15 (write multiple coils)

10001-19999 Read-only bits (“discrete inputs”) 02 (read discrete inputs)

30001-39999 Read-only 16 bit registers (“input registers”), IEEE 754

floating point register pairs, arbitrary length strings

03 (read holding registers) 04 (read input registers)

encoded as two ASCII characters per 16-bit register

40001-49999 Read/write 16-bit registers (“holding registers”, IEEE 754

floating point register pairs, arbitrary length strings encoded as two ASCII characters per 16-bit register

03 (read holding registers) 06 (write single register) 16 (write multiple registers)

Each range of register numbers maps to a unique range of addresses that are determined by the function code and the register number. The address is equal to the least significant four digits of the register number minus one, as shown in Tabl e 7 below.

Table 7: Register Number Range Mapping

Registers Function Codes Data Type and Address Range

4.2.6f Register Definitions

The meter serial number and those variables that are commonly monitored (mass, volume and energy flow rates, total, pressure, temperature, density, viscosity, Reynolds number, and diagnostic variables such as frequency, velocity, gain, amplitude and filter setting) are accessible via the Modbus protocol. Long integer and floating point numbers are accessed as pairs of 16-bit registers in the register order selected in the Modbus Order menu. Floating point numbers are formatted as single precision IEEE 754 floating point values.

The flow rate, temperature, pressure, and density variables may be accessed as either the flowmeter internal base units or in the user-programmed display units, which is determined by the programming of the Output Menu “Modbus Units” item. The display units strings (see Tab le 8 below) may be examined by accessing their associated registers. Each of these units string registers contain 2 characters of the string, and the strings may be 2 to 12 characters in length with unused characters set to zero. Note that the byte order affects the order in which the strings are transmitted. If the Modbus Order menu (see “Modbus Order” on page 86) is set to 0-1:2-3 or 2-3:0-1, then the characters are transmitted in the correct order; if it is set to 1-0:3-2 or 3-2:1-0, then each pair of characters will be transmitted in reverse order
