Fusion4 Multi Stream Controller - Loading (MSC-L) is a Load Computer,
Batch Controller Unit (BCU) or a Preset, which is typically installed on a
loading bay, at a terminal, in the petro chemical industry. The MSC-L is
capable of operating in an explosion hazardous area. The MSC-L is
mainly used for accurately transferring products from the storage area
into another containment vessel. It takes into account the volume
changes necessary for legal measurements. Apart, from loading a
single product, the MSC-L also provides necessary functionality for
blending products, additive injections and for loading the final products
accurately, as required in the global oil storage and distribution industry.
The MSC-L controls the following:
Loading - Transferring the base or the stock oil, or the petroleum
derivative from a storage tank to a vehicle, for example, road trucks,
rail cars, or barges.
Additive injection - Improving and differentiating the base or stock oil,
or petroleum derivatives by changing the physical properties and
specifications of the oil product (fuel) during loading/transferring.
Blending - Combining two or more fluid products to a predetermined
specification during loading.
The MSC-L utilizes Local Access Device (LAD) for interfacing, local
commissioning, configuration, calibration, troubleshooting, and data
exchange, using the Secure Digital (SD) card.

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 General
The main function of the MSC-L is to assist in loading the liquid
products from a storage area to another containment vessel. That is,
the MSC-L helps the smooth movement and accurate measurement of
the liquid product being transferred. The MSC-L is also capable of
creating a new composite product during the transfer operation by
combining one or more different products together to form a new
product. The MSC-L creates the final, required product based on a
user-supplied specification, known as a Recipe.
For more information about Recipes, refer to the section CHAPTER 5 - Operation.
The types of composite products that the MSC-L can create is limited by
various physical constraints such as product piping, isolation valves, the
availability of pumps, and blend valves.
The MSC-L can create composite products by combining products
through one of the following methods.
Blending - The process of combining two or more products contin-
uously.
Additive injection - The process of injecting small and discrete
amounts of a product (an additive) into another product.
3.1.1.1 Transactions and Batches
The MSC-L uses the following terms to control and record the product
transfer process.
Transaction - A single user session during which one or more
batches may be initiated. A transaction also defines the basic unit of
financial reconciliation.
Batch - Loading of a preset amount of final product into a
compartment on the vehicle.
3.1.2 Batch principle
Batch is defined as the loading of a preset amount of the final product
into a compartment on the vehicle. This final product may be a single
product or a blended product made on-the-fly by the MSC-L. If more
than one compartment is available, then more than one batch per
transaction can be initiated. There are no dependencies between
batches. That is, each compartment has its own independent operation.
If there are more than one load arm associated with the MSC-L then
multiple batches may be running simultaneously in the MSC-L.
Part No.: 4418309_Rev11 Fusion4 MSC-L
Installation & Operation Manual3 - 1
Page 42
System Description - Introduction
3.1.2.1 Batch Flow Stages
Following are the four batch flow stages for the MSC-L.
Initial Flow Phase
In the initial state, product is initially slowly added to the receiving
container to mitigate the risk of electro-static buildup within the
container. The loader will continue to deliver product at the Initial
Flow Rate until the Deliver Product Volume reaches the Initial
Volume.
Full Flow Phase
In the Full Flow Phase, the product is delivered quickly so that the
batch can finish as soon as possible. The Full Flow Phase continues
until the Delivered Product Volume reaches the value equal to (Batch
Preset Volume – Pre-Stop Volume).
Pre-Stop Phase
In the pre-stop phase the flow rate is decreased so that the flow can
be stopped quickly and accurately at the very end of the load. The
Pre-stop phase continues until the Delivered Product Volume
reaches the value equal to (Batch Preset Volume – Valve closing
quantity).
Clean Arm Volume
The last part of a batch typically is to “clean arm”, it is essential that
all blend volumes are delivered before that time. To achieve this, a
certain percentage of headroom is included in the blend flows such
that effectively enlarge the clean arm volume in an ideal case.
Headroom is the transition quantity during flow rate change from high
flow state to pre-stop flow state. This solution is because a larger
clean arm volume is permitted while the opposite is not true.
Always recommended to use clean arm volume to maintain correct
blend ratio in the compartment. For no clean arm functionality, blend
percentage may not be accurate due to few unknown blend percentage
already available in arm which was delivered in the previous batch.
Blending is allowed in any stage as long as the flow rates of the streams
do not fall below the minimum measurement boundary. The Clean Arm
Volume is calculated back from the end of the batch. This means that,
when configured, the clean arm volume can be loaded over multiple
phases in the flow profile. Blending is not allowed when the clean arm
volume has to be delivered. The is to assure that at the end of the batch
the blend ratio is within specifications and the clean arm volume is not
compromised.
It is possible to specify a clean arm volume greater than the pre stop
volume. This implies that part of the clean arm volume can be delivered
during full flow. Given the fact that no blending is allowed during delivery
of the clean arm volume it is possible that the flow rate of the main
stream can be increased while still adhering the before mentioned
restrictions.
Fusion4 MSC-LPart No.: 4418309_Rev11
3- 2Installation & Operation Manual
Page 43
System Description - Introduction
The flow rate setpoint calculated such that they meet stream and arm
limitations. For the arm this means that the total flow rate may never
exceed the arm’s full flow rate. For streams, it means that the flow rate
must always be in the inner window of its valve and meter minimum and
maximum flow rates in the steady state.
The following image illustrates how the actual batch blend percentage
may vary during the load based on the various configuration settings.
For instance, if the initial flow rate is too small for accurate blend
product measurement, then blending only starts in the Full Flow Phase.
Secondly, if the clean arm functionality is configured, then the MSC-L
intentionally over blends to ensure that all the required blend products
are dispensed before the clean arm phase begins.
NOTE: To adequately match various specific applications,
the MSC-L has a number of configurable
parameters. For an explanation of all these
parameters and their specific settings, see chapter 5
"Operation".

System Description - Introduction
3.1.3 Types of Blending
The following sections describe the various types of blending supported
in the MSC-L.
3.1.3.1 Straight Loading
Straight loading is a batch in which only the main product is dispensed
without any additional blend products.
FIGURE 3-1Straight Arm Loading
3.1.3.2 Ratio Blending
Ratio blending is a process in which the main product is blended with
one or more blend products, when a batch is loaded. The amount of
each product is defined by the recipe selected for the batch. Each
product - main and blend(s) - must be controlled independently by its
own product valve and must have its own meter.
FIGURE 3-2Ratio Blending Piping
3.1.3.3 Side Stream Blending
Side Stream blending is a batch blending where one blend product is
blended into the main product. The blend product must have its own
valve and meter. The combined, final, blended product must also have
its own valve and meter.
Fusion4 MSC-LPart No.: 4418309_Rev11
3- 4Installation & Operation Manual
Page 45
System Description - Introduction
In side stream blending, the main product does not have its own valve
and meter. The flow rates of both the main and blend products are
therefore a function of both valves.
FIGURE 3-3Side Stream Blending Piping
3.1.3.4 Sequential Blending
Sequential blending is a process in which multiple products share a
single flow meter and control valve and are loaded one by one in
sequence. Each product has dedicated pump demand and block
valves. The mixing of the products takes place in the receiving
compartment. The amount of each product and order of loading is
defined by the recipe selected for the batch. See chapter 5 "Operation"
for more details.

System Description - Introduction
3.1.4 Additive Injection
Additive injection is a process in which small amounts of additives are
added to the final product. The additive product is injected in pace with
the product flow. That is, the additive injection occurs after an interval of
configured pacing volume until the end of the batch. The recipe
configured on the MSC-L controls the rate of additive being injected into
the product stream.
When the MSC-L determines that an additive cycle is required, it opens
the solenoid control valve and injects a small quantity of additive into
the product stream. When the amount of additive is reached for that
cycle, the solenoid valve is closed and the instrument waits until the
next additive cycle is required. The additive injection cycle repeats in
this manner, which keeps the additive synchronised with the product
flow.
MSC-L also supports additive injection by interfacing with External
additive controller. For more details, see chapter 5.13 "Interfacing With
External Additive Controller".
NOTE: The MSC-L assumes that the additive piping is done
in such a way that additives comes in upstream
(before) the custody transfer flow meter.
When the additive piping is done in such a way that
additives comes in downstream (after) the custody
transfer flow meter the additive is not a part of the
finalized product volume but the individual additive
volumes are measured and are part of the transaction record and therefore available when viewing
transactions or for printing additive reports by the
Fusion4 Portal.
3.1.5 Loading Principle
The loading arm of the MSC-L supports the control of the following as
described in the following figure.
Maximum 7 product streams
Maximum 12 additive streams (inclusive of internal additive streams

3.1.6 Menu-based MSC-L Control
By using service tools (the LAD, the IR controller, and the integrated
keyboard) the MSC-L can be controlled through its integrated and menu
based interface.
This control device can be one of the following three devices.
The RS-485 connection (through an Ex d/ Ex i connector on the front
of the MSC-L) based on the LAD.
The Fusion4 IR Controller.
Integrated keyboard.
Using one of these devices, it is possible to navigate the menu items,
change the settings (commissioning), initiate a calibration, and
diagnose problems.
3.2 MID Compliance
3.2.1 Introduction
The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) (2004/22/EC) is
designed to provide a level playing field in Europe, for custody transfer
measuring equipment and systems. The MID currently covers 10
instrument categories, for uniform legislation in the 27 EU countries.
The implementation of this directive in national legislation became due
on the 30th of October 2006.
The MSC-L is 100% MID-compliant.
This legislation results in breaking down trade barriers and improving
competition, which is one of the main objectives of the European Union.
In the directive, the specific articles on each of the instrument
categories are called Annexes. The Annex relevant to the measurement
of petroleum products is “flow metering of liquids other than water”
and is identified as Annex MI-005. The requirements in this Annex are
based on the OIML recommendation R117-1, which is the pre-eminent
set of guidelines for Weight & Measures of petroleum metering
installations, for a considerable time.
3.2.2 MID Approval Approach
One of the key changes in the Measurement Instruments Directive (MI-
005) compared to previous national legislation, is that the total meteringsystem is now subject to perform in the accuracy specification, and not
just specific components. This means that not only the flow meter is
subject to certification but also others.
Part No.: 4418309_Rev11 Fusion4 MSC-L
Installation & Operation Manual3 - 9
Page 50
System Description - MID Compliance
Essential parts of the metering system, such as temperature
transmitters, electronic volume converters air-eliminators, and so on. In
addition to this, the method with which the system is built is also
examined by the Notified body. In turn the Notified Bodies are
scrutinized by the European Board of Accreditation.
The system approval process for MID consists of two main steps:
‘Bringing on the market’ - type-examination by a Notified body in
accordance with Annex-B of the MID. This generates a so-called
type-examination certificate.
‘Putting it into use’ - conformity check of the essential parts and a wet
calibration in the legal specification. This is implemented in
accordance with Annex F or D of the MID. This generates the system
approval.
The system can now be used for trade and excise applications. The
received approval is subject to recalibration at 1 or 2 year interval, and
this is determined on national level.
NOTE: Evaluation Certificate provides demonstration that
the MSC-L as a component of an MID-compliant
instrument is approved per MID and OIML
requirements.
3.2.3 Component-level Requirements
For blending applications such as ethanol- and biodiesel-blending, the
minimum required accuracy of the metering line is ±0.5% (class 0.5).
The flow metering element of the system is allowed ± 0.3% in accuracy,
and the remainder of the system is permitted to show maximum errors
to ± 0.2%.
As the errors are directly related to inaccuracies, they are added to get
the total maximum. Therefore, ± 0.5% is the maximum allowed
discrepancy between what the seller states as the volume transferred,
and the actual volume the buyer receives.
In the metering line, the essential parts of the system are the flow meter,
the temperature sensor, and the load controller itself. The flow meter
physically measures the flow and generates pulses, which are related to
the volume passed through the meter. For reliability, the pulses are dual
phase shifted and are constantly checked by the electronic load
controller for integrity, according to API and ISO. Through the
temperature sensor (transmitter) the metered volume can be corrected
to base temperature of either 15°C (60°F) or 20°C (68°F), in
accordance with the ASTM standards. If a temperature transmitter is
applied, then component level requirements must also have an
evaluation certificate. For the temperature sensor (Pt100) it is not
required.

FIGURE 3-6Component-level requirements (Temperature and Pressure accuracy)
The load controller evaluation is quite complex, but in principle it has to
comply with the security of signal and data handling, as required by MID
and working documents of WELMEC.
A very stringent requirement is the EMC standard for industrial use of
electronic equipment. Electro-magnetic noise might influence the
measurement of the metering signal, and this is not allowed to occur
outside the maximum given accuracy.

System Description - MID Compliance
3.2.4 System-level Requirements
With any new equipment legislation such as MID, there is a raft of new
issues and criteria that need to be understood by both those who are
manufacturing the equipment and those who seek to utilise it. In the
downstream oil and gas sector the volume of that legislation is vast. In
the case of MID where the legislation crosses the boundaries of
mechanical and electronic hardware, software, communications, and
reconciliation and reproduction of data, correctly understanding the
legislation, can be particularly vexing.
For this reason, the provision of “system solutions” is seen by many as
the most efficient method of procuring equipment that is in compliance
with their regulatory needs. Instead of having to understand the
individual technical requisites of each individual component of a system,
they only need to understand their “end game”. “I need an MID
compliant ethanol blending system” is far easier to define than
specifying the individual technical specifications of each component of
that system. For this to work though, the acquirer has to have
confidence that the supplier is suitably knowledgeable to accurately
provide them with the correct solution for their needs. The provision of a
“solution” circumnavigates the minefields associated with integrating
multiple components into compliant system arrangement.
Pre-configured biofuel blending systems such as the MSC-L do exactly
this. Piecing together accurately specified MID-compliant components
to provide an end-to-end solution. Combining the physical measuring
element with the electronic control device and associated reconciliation
options such as digital storage or printing of BoLs. Each of these
functions is required to operate under the concise guidelines laid out
under MID and associated legislation such as OIML R117 and
WELMEC.
3.2.5 The Fusion4 MSC-L
The heart of the system is the Fusion4 MSC-L.
Founded on Honeywell Enraf’s proprietary FlexConn™ architecture, the
MSC-L is part of the Fusion4 portfolio of loading automation and control
products family. A modular collection of mechanical, electronic, and
software sub-systems that can be integrated with each other to create
scalable solutions.
The FlexConn™ approach has enabled Honeywell to take the wellproven functionality of its additive and blending portfolio and bring all
the options together as a single offering, which is configurable to suit
the end you need. Subsequently, the MSC-L incorporates 12 separate
devices, each providing individual functionality, and each one
configurable from one single device, and selectable through a license
key.
Part No.: 4418309_Rev11 Fusion4 MSC-L
Installation & Operation Manual3 - 13
Page 54
System Description - System Architecture
The MSC-Ls solution approach facilitates the ratification of both the MID
compliance steps mentioned previously, ‘bringing on the market’ and
‘putting into use’, by pre-configuring all components in accordance with
the MID requirements, and checking conformity through pre-installation
testing before delivery, as a complete system. This method not only
reduces the risk of non-compliance, but also speeds up the MID
qualification process for the system owner.
For the owner, ‘putting into use’ qualification not only includes the
accuracy and security of the physical operation of the blend process,
but also the reconciliation and reproduction of the measurement data.
This is applicable, whether the information is to be stored locally on the
device, distributed and stored on peripheral devices, or reconciled as a
Bill of Lading print-out. For the system to be fully compliant, any of these
functions must also operate in the MID criteria.
As such, the MSC-L offers a number of options to ensure compliance.
Firstly it implements a large transaction storage memory of 10,000
transactions, which allows a device to operate for over three months
without losing a single transaction, in standard operating conditions.
Alternatively, the MSC-L can have its transaction data securely
downloaded through the Fusion4 LAD (Local Access Device). This
allows the MSC-L to have its memory cleared in preparation for the
storage of another 10,000 transactions. The transactions subsequently
transferred to the LAD can then be manually transferred to any
peripheral system for storage or printing through the SD card.
Finally the preferred method is to link the MSC-L through Comms to the
Fusion4 Portal software package. When connected, all the transaction
data are scanned and collected by Portal from each device. The
transaction record is stored and can be printed directly or distributed
through OPC to third party systems for separate reconciliation.
The Fusion4 Portal BoL Print facility is fully MID compliant, and
therefore can facilitate a stand-alone blending infrastructure that meets
all the MID requirements. Along with the MID print functionality and the
OPC capability, built-in modules for the Portal software suite also
include remote configuration, remote event monitoring and alarm
handling and advanced LAD interaction tools.
3.3 System Architecture
The MSC-L is installed as per the Honeywell Enraf’s proprietary
FlexConn architecture. The MSC-L is a member of Fusion4 portfolio of
Loading Automation and Control products.
The MSC-L system is built up of interchangeable hardware modules.
These modules consist of uniform Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), each
of them representing a different and a unique functionality. See section
3.6.1 - PCB Details, for more information.

One of the main characteristics of the FlexConn architecture is the
placement flexibility of the FlexConn modules. The backbone of this
concept is the serial Control Area Network (CAN) bus to which each
FlexConn module connects.
= terminating resistor
FIGURE 3-8FlexConn CAN bus concept
Each FlexConn module has one or more specific functions as follows:
A sensor function - Measures or calculates a process value, or
obtains a process value from a connected external instrument.
An application function - Controls the high-level operation of a
device. For example, stream control, flow control, or device control.
An Input/Output (I/O) function - Controls digital output or reads digital
input from instruments around the loading framework.
A communication function - Ensures the communication with a
communication interface unit or with a DCS, SCADA, tank inventory,
or another terminal automation system.
A display function - Ensures communication with the module(s)
through an HMI.

WARNING! For ensuring intrinsic safety of the MSC-L, the
grounding connection of the lid to the main box and
the box to the local grounding system is very crucial.
If the grounding cable is required to be detached,
make sure you reinstall the device before any
operation is performed.
1. Open and install the fasteners from the device using a proper tool.
2. Make sure the construction is similar to the original assembly after
the grounding cable is detached and all the parts are repositioned in
a similar way when reinstalling. Take special care of the orientation of
the cable rings and toothed rings for the grounding cable.
3. Check the wire in the box and the lid. Make sure it is not damaged
before reinstalling.
4. Reinstall the original cable assembly. Do not replace it with random
parts.
NOTE: Complete replacement of the lid should only be done

The function of the CAN-PSF-MSC is to convert single-phase AC main
voltage into multiple DC voltages. This powers the other modules in the
MSC-L and also provides DC power to external devices such as flow
meters, temperature sensors, and so on.
On the system level two separate Power Supply Units (PSUs) operate
the sharing current. The two PSUs make the system powering
redundant. One PSU is able to power the complete system at maximum
temperature. See FIGURE 3-22 for the functions of the MSC-L.

3.6.2.4 Fuse Boards
3.6.2.4.1 MSC-SHORTCUT-BOARD
The MSC-SHORTCUT-Board is directly interfaced to the backplane of
the MSC-L through the 48 pin connector. The MSC-L contains the
Digital Output Solid State Relay AC (DO SSR AC) interface. The SSRs
are used for switching AC signals connected to the load. Every DO SSR
AC requires an optional fuse to protect the internal electronics so that
the high current can be withdrawn. Because the fuse is optional, 0 ohm
resistor can alternatively be connected in parallel to each fuse.

3.6.3 Device Electrical Features
Following are the device electrical features of the MSC-L.
1. Internal power supply.
2. Seven microprocessor controlled modules.
3. Each I/O is galvanic isolated from the internal electronics for safety
performance.
4. Backplanes (ARM-1-BACKPLANE-MSC and ARM-2 BACKPLANEMSC) for external wiring.
5. Colored connectors on the backplane to distinguish different kinds of
signals.

3.9.2 Pulse Output (PO DC)
3.9.2.1 Functional Description
There are two pulse output channels available in MSC-L i.e. PO1 &
PO2.
For meter calibration, the pulses coming from Flow Meter are also
required to drive the pulse output. The scheme using multiplexer for
selection of inputs. Any one pulse from dual pulse input may be
selected to drive the pulse output.
PO1 is real time pulse output, used to connect real time PO for channel
A & B of quadrature (dual) pulse input. A single pulse input out of 12
pulse inputs is selected by using multiplexer 16 to 1 multiplexer and
select lines.
