SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

Operating Mode

The Flow Computer can be thought of as making a measurement of flow and then performing calculations which are then updated periodically on the display as rate and total. The pulse output, analog output and the alarm relays are also updated. The cycle then repeats itself.

Step 1:Update the measurements of input signals-

Raw Input Measurements are made at each input.

Step 2 : Compute the Volumetric Flow-

Uncompensated flow is the term given to the flow in volume units. The value is computed based on the flowmeter input type selected and augmented by any performance enhancing linearization that has been specified by the user.

Step 3: Check Flow Alarms-

The flow alarm functions have been assigned to flow rate during the setup of the instrument. A comparison is now made by comparing the current flow rates against the specified hi and low limits.

Step 4: Compute the Flow Totals by Summation-

A flow total increment is computed for each flow rate. This increment is computed by dividing the pulses by the K-Factor and then summing. The totalizer format also includes provisions for total rollover.

Step 5: Total Preset Comparisons-

The total associated with a preset function is then compared against the corresponding preset value and any required control actions taken.

Step 6: Pulse Output Service-

The pulse output is next updated by scaling the total increment which has just been determined by the pulse output scaler and summing it to any residual pulse output amount.

Step 7: Compute the Analog Output-

This designated flow rate value is now used to compute the analog output.

Step 8: Update Display and Printer Output-

The instrument finally runs a task to update the various table entries associated with the front panel display and serial outputs.

Setup Mode

The setup mode is password protected by means of a numeric lock out code established by the user. In addition, a secret, manufacturers numeric unlock entry sequence is available.

The system also provides a minimum implementation of an “audit trail” which tracks significant setup changes to the unit. This feature is increasingly being found of benefit to users or simply required by Weights and Measurement Officials in systems used in commerce, trade, or “custody transfer” applications.

A Worksheet is provided to assist the user in setting up the instrument. An Easy Setup (EZ Setup) feature is offered in the setup menu. The EZ Setup routine is a quick and easy way to configure the unit for the most commonly used instrument functions.

The setup mode has numerous subgrouping of parameters needed for flow calculations. There is a well conceived hierarchy to the setup parameter list. Selections made at the beginning of the setup affect offerings further down in the lists.

In the setup mode, the flow computer activates the correct setup variables based on the instrument configuration, the flow equation, and the hardware selections, the flow transmitter type, and meter enhancements (linearization) options selected. All required setup parameters are enabled. All setup parameters not required are suppressed.

A help line prompt is provided for each entry. In addition a help message is available which may be accessed by depressing the “HELP” key.

Also note that in the setup mode are parameter selections which have preassigned industry standard values. The unit will assume these values unless they are modified by the user.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

Maintenance (Test) Mode:

The Maintenance Mode of the SUPERtrol-I LE provides a number of specialized utilities required for instrument checkout on start-up, setup documentation and data logger access.

A password is required to gain access to this specialized mode of operation. Quality and maintenance personnel will find this mode of operation very useful. It is also useful for factory testing.

Many of these tests may be used during start-up of a new system. Inputs signals may be read, and output signals may be exercised to verify the electrical interconnects before the entire system is put on line.

The following action items may be performed in the Maintenance Mode:

Print Setup Report Examine Audit Trail Examine Error History Perform Keypad Checkout Perform Display Checkout Perform Pulse Input Checkout Perform Pulse Output Checkout Perform Control Input Checkout Perform Relay Output Checkout

Perform Analog Output Checkout Calibrate Analog Output using the Learn Feature

Perform Excitation Output Test Examine or Dump Data Logger

Operation of Serial Communication Port with Printers

SUPERtrol-I LE's RS-232 channel supports a number of operating modes. One of these modes is intended to support operation with a printer in metering applications requiring transaction printing, data logging and/or printing of maintenance reports.

For transaction printing, the user defines the items to be included in the printed document. The user can also select what initiates the transaction print generated as part of the setup of the instrument. The transaction document may be initiated via a front panel key depression, a remote contact closure, upon completion of a batch, time of day or at a timed interval.

In data logging, the user defines the items to be included in each data log as a print list. The user can also select when or how often he wishes a data log to be made. This is done during the setup of the instrument as either a time of day or as a time interval between logging.

The system setup and maintenance report lists all the instrument setup parameters and usage for the current instrument configuration. In addition, the Audit trail information is presented along with a status report listing any observed malfunctions which have not been corrected.

The user initiates the printing of this report at a designated point in the menu by pressing the requested key on the front panel.

RS-232 Serial Port

The SUPERtrol-I LE has a general purpose RS232 Port which may be used for any one of the following purposes:

Transaction Printing Data Logging Remote Metering by Modem (optional) Computer Communication Link Configuration by Computer Print System Setup Print Malfunction History

Operation of Serial Port with Modems (optional)

The SUPERtrol-I LE RS-232 channel supports a number of operating modes. One of these modes is intended to support operation with a modem in remote metering applications.

An external modem is intentionally being used with the SUPERtrol-I LE. This permits use with the variety of modem standards worldwide while avoiding the specialized approvals required for equipment that is deemed to fall under the category of telecommunication equipment.

In the modem mode, the SUPERtrol-I LE is assumed to be operating in a remote metering role. In addition, the SUPERtrol-I LE will be capable of initiating a call to a designed telephone number in the event of a metering malfunction.

5.2 General Operation

The unit can display: Rate, Total, Grand Total, Presets and Time of Day. The unit can be programmed to perform Ratemeter/Totalizer or Batching functions.

5.3 Ratemeter/Totalizer Operation

The Ratemeter/Totalizer mode is used primarily to monitor flowrate and accumulated total. The relays can be used to trigger on flow rate, total, or alarms.

5.3.1 Password Protection for Rate/Total mode

After an Operator and/or Supervisor Password is entered in the setup mode (see section 6.3, SETUP PASSWORD submenu), the unit will be locked. The unit will prompt the user for the password when trying to perform the following functions:

Clear Total Clear Grand Total Enter Menu Edit Preset 1 (PRE 1 Key) Edit Preset 2 (PRE 2 Key) Edit Preset 3 (4 Key) Edit Preset 4 (9 Key)

The Supervisor password should be reserved for supervisors. The Supervisor password will allow access to restricted areas of the Setup and Test menus.

5.3.2 Relay Operation in Rate/Total mode

Up to four relays are available (two standard) for alarm outputs. The relays can be assigned to trip according to rate, total or general system alarms. The relays can be programmed for low or high alarms. Preset 1 (RLY1) and Preset 2 (RLY2) are easily accessible by pressing the PRE 1 or PRE 2 key on the front panel. Preset 3 and Preset 4 are accessible by pressing the 4 or 9 keys.

The isolated pulse output (open collector) is assigned to Volume Total. The pulse output duration can be set for 10mS (50 Hz max) or 100mS (5 Hz max). A pulse output scale factor (pulse value) can be set to scale the pulse output. The pulse output is ideal for connecting to remote totalizers or other devices such as a PLC. See section 1.3 for electrical specifications.

5.3.4 Analog Output in Rate/Total mode

The analog output is menu assignable to correspond to the Volume Rate or Volume Total. The analog output is ideal for "trend" tracking using strip chart recorders or other devices.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

5.3.5 RS-232 Serial Port Operation in Rate/Total mode

The RS-232 serial port can be used for programming (using the Setup Disk) or for communicating to printers and computers in the Operating Mode (Run Mode).

PC Communications:

The Setup Disk also allows the user to query the unit for operating status such as Flow Rate, Flow Total, Presets, etc.

Operation of RS-232 Serial Port with Printers:

Transaction Printing For transaction printing, the user defines the items to be included in the printed document (see section

6.3.20 SET DATA OUTPUT, Select_list). The transaction document can be initiated by pressing the PRINT key or by a remote contact closure.

Data Logging In data logging, the user defines the items to be included in each data log (see section 6.3.20 SET PRINTER OUTPUT, Select_list). The user can also select when (time of day) or how often (print interval) the data log is to be made (see section 6.3.19 SET PRINTER OUTPUT, Configure).

System Setup and Maintenance Report The system setup and maintenance report lists all of the instrument setup parameters and usage for the current instrument configuration. The audit trail information and a status report is also printed. This report is initiated in the Test menu (see section 8.2.3 PRINT SYSTEM SETUP).

5.3.6 RS-485 Serial Port (optional)

RS-485 Port Description:

The optional RS-485 card utilizes Modbus RTU protocol to access a variety of process parameters and totalizers. The Relays can be controlled via Modbus. In addition, action routines can be executed. For further information, contact factory and request RS-485 Protocol manual.

Operation of Serial Communication Port with PC

The flow computer's RS-485 channel supports a number of Modbus RTU commands. Modbus RTU drivers are available from third party sources for a variety of Man Machine Interface software for IBM compatible PC's.

The user reads and writes information from/to the RS-485 using the Modbus RTU commands. The SUPERtrol-I LE then responds to these information and command requests.

Process variables and totalizers are read in register pairs in floating point format. Time and date are read as a series of integer register values. Alarms are individually read as coils. Action routines are initiated by writing to coils.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

5.4 Batcher Operation

The Batcher mode is used primarily to control batches. The main difference between the Batch mode and Rate/Total mode is the relay operation. The Batch mode allows the operator to "START" the unit via the front panel or remote input. Once started, the relays (RLY1 & RLY2) will energize and send a contact to a flow control device (i.e. solenoid valve or pump). The flow sensor will send a signal to the unit and total accumulation will begin. Just before the end of batch, when the Prewarn value (PRE 2) is reached, Relay 2 will drop out (this is ideal for flow slow down). When the final Batch amount (PRE 1) is reached, Relay 1 will drop out and the Batch is complete.

Several messages will be displayed during normal batch operation (i.e. Batch Fill, Batch Stopped). The keypad is disabled for the duration of these timed messages (approx. 2 sec).

5.4.1 Batcher Configuration.

When the unit is programmed for batch mode, several batch operation choices are available. These choices include: EZ Preset, Up or Down Counting, Maximum Batch Preset, Batch Overrun Compensation, Auto Batch Restart, Time Delay, Flow Signal Timeout, Maximum Drain Time, Slow Start Quantity, Start or Reset/ Start, and Stop or Stop/Reset.

EZ Preset

A selectable mode of batching where user can press "PRE 1", then "ENTER" then the quantity to be batched, then "START" for a quick enter-start sequence.

Batch Count Mode

The Batch Count Mode allows the user to choose whether the unit will batch up to a preset value or batch down from a preset value to zero.

Maximum Batch Preset

The Maximum Batch Preset allows the user to program the Maximum Batch value allowed to be entered by the operator. If an operator should try to program a batch higher then this value, the unit will not allow the value to be entered and will prompt the user with an error message saying that the permitted Maximum Batch Preset size has been exceeded.

Batch Overrun

The Batch Overrun is used for batch applications that have slow responding valves and a consistent batching flowrate. When the Batch Overrun is set, the unit will compensate for batch overruns by computing an averaged overrun value from the last four batches. This average is used to internally adjust the batch setpoint to minimize overrun. The maximum drain time must be set greater than the slowest valve response time for proper operation of this feature.

Auto Batch Restart

The Auto Batch Restart function allows the user to set an amount of time to automatically restart a batch after the completion of a batch. This time can be set from 1 to 99 seconds.

Flow Signal Timeout

The Flow Signal Timeout allows the user to enter a timeout of 0 to 99 seconds. If a batch is “Filling” and zero flow persists for more than the user entered time then the batch will be aborted. This prevents over flows due to faulty flow sensors and/or wiring.

Maximum Drain Time

The unit declares that a batch is “done” when the flow rate equals “0”. A flow rate may be present long after the Preset Relay de-energizes due to slow reacting valves or leaky valves. The Maximum Drain Time allows the user to enter an amount of time (0 to 99 seconds) to wait before declaring “Batch Done”. After the Preset Batch quantity is reached, the unit will declare “Batch Done” when the flow rate is “0” or the Maximum Drain Time has expired. The batch data will then be available for printing and datalogging.

Slow Start Quantity

The Slow Start Quantity is a function that allows an amount to be entered for a Slow Start of fill. This function requires two stage valve control. RLY 1 (slow flow) will energize for Slow Start and RLY 2 (fast flow) will energize after the Slow Start Quantity has been delivered. This helps reduce turbulence when filling an empty container.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

START, RESET/START and STOP, STOP/RESET

When configuring the control inputs, Control Input1 can be set for START or RESET/START. When set for START, the unit will start batching when a signal is applied to Control Input 1 or the front panel Start key is pressed. A separate Reset signal or CLEAR key depression must be used to clear the previous batch total. When set for RESET/START, the unit will automatically reset then start when a signal is applied to Control Input1 or the front panel Start key is pressed (provided that the pervious batch was completed). If a previous batch was stopped during a batch cycle, the unit will Start from where it was stopped. Control Input 2 can be set for STOP or STOP/RESET. When set for STOP, the unit will stop batching when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed. A separate Reset signal or CLEAR key depression must be used to clear the batch total. When set for STOP/RESET, a running batch will stop when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed. If the unit is Stopped or after a completed batch, the unit will reset when a signal is applied to Control Input 2 or the front panel Stop key is pressed.

NOTE: Applying a voltage level to Control Input 2 will inhibit and override all Start inputs in either mode.

5.4.2 Password Protection for Batcher Mode

After an Operator and/or Supervisor Password is entered in the setup mode (see section 6.3, SETUP PASSWORD Sub-menu), the unit will be locked. The unit will prompt the user for the password when trying to perform the following functions:

Clear Grand Total Enter Menu

The Supervisor password should be reserved for supervisors. The Supervisor password will allow access to restricted areas of the Setup and Test menus.

The passwords are factory set as follows:

Operator = 0 Supervisor = 2000

NOTE: A password of "0" should not be used since it will leave the unit unlocked and open to accidental

changes.

5.4.3 Relay Operation in Batcher mode

Up to four relays are available (two standard) for alarm outputs. Preset 1 (RLY1) is reserved for batch amount, Preset 2 (RLY2) is reserved for prewarn. (see section 5.4 Batcher Operation for Relay 1 & Relay 2 functions) Preset 1 (RLY1) and Preset 2 (RLY2) are easily accessible by pressing the PRE 1 or PRE 2 key on the front panel. Preset 3 and Preset 4 are accessible by pressing the 4 or 9 keys. Relays 3 and 4 can be assigned to trip according to rate, total, overrun or alarm. When Rate is selected the relays can be programmed for low or high alarms. When N.A (not assigned) is selected, the relays may be tripped via serial commands. Alternately, Preset 2, 3 or 4 may be used to enter alternate information and can be printed in the print list for transaction history.

5.4.4 Pulse Output in Batcher mode

5.4.5 Analog Output in Batcher mode

The analog output is menu assignable to correspond to the Volume Rate or Volume Total. The analog output is ideal for "trend" tracking using strip chart recorders or other devices.

RELAY NOTES & CONSIDERATIONS

1. Relay activation is based on the computed readings not the displayed value. Therefore the display damping factor will not affect the relay response time. The RELAY DELAY feature allows the user to enter a time delay for relay activation. This feature is very useful in applications where short over/ under range conditions are not considered alarm conditions.

2. When INSTRUMENT TYPE is set to batcher, Relay 1 is reserved for PRESET and Relay 2 is reserved for PREWARN or NA (not assigned).

3. Setting the relays to NA (Not Assigned), will allow the relay activation to be controlled via the RS232 Serial and/or RS-485 Modbus ports. It also allows the Presets to be used for other numeric entry values via serial commands which can be part of the print list.

4. Relay 3 and Relay 4 settings may be used to trigger display alarm conditions even if the relays are not supplied.

7. Principals Of Operation

7.1 General:

The SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer uses several internal calculations to compute the input frequency based on specific data input. Several computations are performed to yield flow or linearized flow.

7.2 Flow Equations:

Uncompensated Flow Computation:

Pulse Input; Average K-Factor

input frequency • time scale factor

Volume Flow =

K-Factor

Pulse Input; Linear Table

input frequency • time scale factor

Volume Flow =

K-Factor (Hz)

Where K-Factor (Hz) is the K-Factor returned at frequency (Hz) from interpolation of the 16 point table.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

7.3 Linearization Table

7.3.1 Linearization Table General Information

The Linearization Table is used when the flow input device gives a nonlinear input signal. The unit uses up to 16 different points, as entered by the operator, to form a curve for linearizing the input signal.

Notes:

1) A minimum of three points must be set up.

2) If "0" is entered for the frequency of any point other than point 1, the Flow Computer assumes there are no more points above the points that preceded them. The display will advance to the next setup prompt.

3) If the input frequency is above the highest or below the lowest frequency programmed, the unit will use the last known point for the K factor in computing the resulting actual flow.

4) Frequency- Point pairs should be entered in ascending order of frequency.

7.3.2 Linearization Table for Pulse Inputs

The linearization table for pulse inputs programming is quite simple when values of frequency and K-Factors are known. The Flow Computer asks for 16 different frequencies (Freq) and 16 corresponding K factors (K). It then uses this data to determine what the actual flow is for any given input frequency. Usually the necessary data is provided with the flowmeter.

7.3.3 Linearization Table Interpolation

The Linearization Table routine uses the entered data to determine the K factor for any given input frequency signal. This is done by taking the closest data points above and below the input signal, then using those points to interpolate the K factor (correction factor), then calculating the flow from the data. Below are the formulas.

Parameters: Determine closest point above input signal signal = X, K factor (correction factor) = KA

Determine closest point below input signal signal = Y, K factor (correction factor) = KB

Let input signal = H, unknown K factor (correction factor) = KN

KA KN KB

K factor

Y H

To find KN use this formula:

H - Y X - Y

x (KA - KB) + KB = KN

from the File pulldown menu: Open Existing File and

Open Template.

The

Open Existing File

option allows for creating custom templates using the existing template in memory

as the starting point.

The

Open Template

option will bring up a list of predefined templates that can be loaded into the program.

These predefined templates are useful as a starting point when defining custom templates.

A typical scenario using the setup program would be the following:

• Open up a predefined template from the supplied list

• Choose ‘Save As’ to save this to a new file name

• Proceed to customize the template by making any changes that are needed

• Save the template to disk (if you want to reuse this template)

• Download the template to an attached unit.

The Communications with Flow Computer Section allows the user to upload a template file from the unit or download the program’s current template to the unit.

The Print (report) Section allows the user to:

1. Configure the current Windows printer through the Select Printer option.

2. Print a Maintenance Report through the PC's printer using the Print Maintenance option.

3. Print the current template through the PC's printer using Print Setup option.

11.6 Setup Tab

The Setup tab is where majority of the SUPERtrol-I LE instrument setup modifications are done. The Setup tab is divided into five sections.

System Section: Instrument, Indicators

Input Section: Flow, Control Inputs

Output Section: Pulse, Currents

Relay Section: Relays

Other Settings Section: Administration, Serial Usage, Datalog/Printing, Time Clock

NOTE: Many setup items are enabled or disabled depending on previous setup selections, It is important

to work your way through the above list in the order shown. Be sure to verify your selections when you are through programming to insure that no settings were changed automatically.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

11.7 View Tab

The View Tab screen allows for viewing selected group items on the PC in a similar format as shown on the unit display. Data from the following groups can be viewed in the List of Values section:

Process Parameters (i.e. rate, input frequency, K-Factor, mA output)

Totalizers (i.e. total, grand total)

Version

Error Log

The setup software assumes the current setup has been uploaded from the flow computer into the PC. It is important that the setup program and the SUPERtrol-I LE unit are using the same setup information at all times or the data will be inconsistent. It is best to upload or download the setup before using this feature.

To start the viewer, first check the boxes of items to view and then click the start button. The data will appear in the appropriate sections and will be continuously updated. The refresh rate is dependent on the number of items that are being viewed and the baud rate of the connection. Data in the List of Values section can be collapsed by clicking on the ‘minus’ sign in front of the group title. The data can be expanded by clicking on the ‘plus’ sign in front of the group title. If a group is collapsed and data in the group changes on refresh, the group will automatically expand. Changing the view items requires stopping the current viewing, checking the new selections and then restarting the viewer.

If communication errors occur while reading data from the SUPERtrol-I LE device, the word ‘Error’ will appear in place of the actual value. If the connection to the SUPERtrol-I LE is lost, the viewer will time out with a message saying the device is not responding.

The viewer will attempt to communicate with the SUPERtrol-I LE device matching the device ID set in the communications screen. If you are having trouble establishing communication, compare settings for the PC and the flow computer. Also verify the connections between the PC and flow computer.

11.8 Misc. Tab

This tab has three sections: Tools, Actions and Options.

The tools section contains various system administration activities such as creating/modifying the initial sign-on screen and/or print header:

Create Sign-on, Create Print Header

The Actions section is used to send commands to the SUPERtrol-I LE unit:

Reset Totalizers, Reset Alarms, Reset Alarm History

The Options section has the following selections:

Network Card Enable, Network Card Setup

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

12. Glossary Of Terms

Acknowledge & Clear Alarms

Acknowledge is used to clear alarm relays and remove any visual alarm messages from the display. In the run mode, press the ENTER key or activate CONTROL INPUT 3 (if set for ACK) to momentarily clear alarms and alarm messages. Alarms will reassert themselves if alarm conditions are still present.

Analog Output

The analog signal (4-20mA) that is generated by the SUPERtrol-I LE. It can correspond to the Rate or Total. This output is used primarily for transmission of process information to remote systems.

Audit Trail

The audit trail is used to track the number of changes made to the units setup program and calibration.

Auto Batch Restart

The Auto Batch Restart function allows the user to set an amount of time to automatically restart a batch after the completion of a batch. This time can be set from 1 to 99 seconds.

Batch Count Mode

Batch Count Mode specifies the user preference for count direction. The "Up" selection begins with a value of "0" and counts up until the batch size is reached. The "Down" selection begins with a value equal to the desired batch size and counts down to "0".

Batch Overrun

The SUPERtrol-I LE offers a batch overrun compensation routine. If batch overrun occurs due to slow valve response time, the unit will compensate for the overrun amount on the next batch. This feature can be disabled if desired.

NOTE: A nonzero MAX DRAIN TIME value is also required.

Batcher

An instrument which controls the dispensing of desired batch amounts. Liquid batching systems are usually comprised of a batch controller (batcher), flowmeter and control valve. The batcher opens and closes the valve through the use of relays and measures the amounts of liquid being dispensed via the flowmeter.

Baud Rate

The speed of serial communication transmissions, expressed in bits per second.

Custody Transfer

Weights and Measure metering codes often specify several requirements for instruments and mechanisms to prevent and track changes in the setup of an instrument which may be used in the commercial sale of goods. The SUPERtrol-I LE tracks changes via the Audit Trail.

Data Logger

The capturing of information for later use and the mechanism for specifying the conditions where a capture should be made.

DC Output / Excitation Voltage

An on-board DC power supply used to power peripheral sensors. The SUPERtrol-I LE offers excitation voltages of 5VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC when powered by AC voltage.

Default Value

The value to be used by the instrument if a sensor failure or out of range signal is detected.

EZ Setup

A utility that provides for rapid configuration of an instrument. The SUPERtrol-I LE EZ Setup provides the following:

1) Prompts the user for only critical information.

2) Automatically sets specifications to common uses. After following the EZ Setup procedure, the unit will be operational to perform the basic measurement. The setup can be further customized using the setup menus.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

Flow Alarm

A visual indication that the volumetric flowrate is above or below the flow alarm setpoint specified by the user.

Flow Signal Timeout

Flow Equation

A flow control expression or algorithm describing a mathematical equation to be solved by a flow computer in the desired application.

Follow Alarm

Alarm relays which are non latching and whose output state is based solely on the comparison of the current process value, the alarm setpoint (trip point) and hysteresis.

Function Key

A key on a push-button panel or keyboard (whose function is described by the key label) used to perform an instrument function or special routine.

Handshake

A means of controlling the information flow between two pieces of equipment to prevent the sending device from transmitting information at a rate faster than what can be accepted by the receiver.

Hysteresis

The relay hysteresis is a "dead band" setting which allows the relay to remain energized for a given amount below the setpoint. This is used to prevent relay chatter when the process value is near the setpoint value. Example: If the Preset is set at 100, and the hysteresis is set at 10, the relay will energize when the rate, temp or dens. reaches 100, the relay will remain energized until the reading falls below 90.

Input Termination

Input signal lines on digital inputs often require pullup or pulldown resistor configurations to operate properly with different sensor configurations. The SUPERtrol-I LE contains such resistors and may be enabled via the setup menu.

Inhibit Totalizer

"Inhibit Total" is a Control Input 1 setting that is used to stop the totalization. If enabled, a voltage level on control input 1 will inhibit the total as long as the voltage is present. This feature is useful during meter proving and in applications that provide a sensor to signal the flow computer when liquid is present.

K-Factor

A scaling factor derived from the pulses produced by a flowmeter output, expressed in pulses per unit (i.e. pulses/ gallon)

LCD

Abbreviation for: Liquid Crystal Display

Limit Setpoint

An alarm trip point setting which specifies the value or magnitude of a process parameter necessary to activate an alarm indicator or control relay.

Linear Flowmeter

A flow measurement device whose output is proportional to flow.

Linearization

The mathematical correction of a nonlinear device. The SUPERtrol-I LE uses a linearization Table which is made up of input frequency and K-Factor values and makes interpolations of the table to arrive at a "linearized" measurement.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

LinTbl

Abbreviation for Linearization Table.

Low Flow Cutoff

A value set at which any flow measurements read below this value will be ignored.

Low Pass Filter

A low pass filter passes low input frequencies while blocking high frequencies. In the SUPERtrol-I LE, this is the maximum input count speed to be encountered in an application. It is expressed in counts per second (Hz).

Maximum Batch Preset

Maximum Drain Time

NOTE: A nonzero MAX DRAIN TIME value must be entered when using batch overrun compensation.

Max Window

The max. window time sets the maximum sample time (1 to 99 sec) for the ratemeter.

Operator Code

An operator password code which authorizes changes to the setup of the instrument but blocks access to the Service/Calibration/Test mode. The operator code also blocks the clearing of the Grand Total.

Parity

A method for detecting errors in transmissions of serial communications data.

Preset

A set point used to trigger the relay outputs of the SUPERtrol-I LE.

Print Interval

The print interval allows the SUPERtrol-I LE to transmit information to the serial port at selectable time intervals.

Process Parameters

Any sensor information which has been scaled to engineering units including Flow, Temperature and Density.

Pulldown (Input Termination)

The termination of an input at which the input is pulled down to ground through a resistor. Inputs that are terminated by this method need to be driven high with a positive voltage pulse.

Pullup (Input Termination)

The termination of an input at which the input is pulled up to a positive voltage through a resistor. Inputs that are terminated by this method need to be pulled low with a sinking current or contact to ground .

Pulse Output

The pulse output of the SUPERtrol-I LE is available for remote accumulation of the total or sent to peripheral devices, such as a PLC. The output can be scaled using the Pulse Output Scaling Constant.

Quad

Abbreviation for Quadrature. Quadrature signals are used for direction control. Two flowmeter signals are output with a 90° phase shift. The counter counts UP when channel A precedes channel B, and counts DOWN when Channel A lags Channel B.

SUPERtrol-I LE Flow Computer

Quick Update %

This feature is used to disable the rate averaging filter when a significant change in the flow rate occurs. The user can enter the percent of change needed to be detected to disable the averaging feature. This is especially useful during start-up and shutdown of flow.

Rate Averaging Filter

The rate averaging filter is used to stabilize fluctuating rate displays. Higher settings provide more averaging for a more stable display. Derived from the equation:

((OLD DATA x "Avg. Filter") + NEW DATA)

("Avg. Filter" + 1)

Ratemeter

Any device used to display the speed of a process. The ratemeter in the SUPERtrol-I LE displays flow rate.

Reset/Start Control Input

In a batching system, a single operator activation of the START key or Control Input 1 will reset the total then start the batch process.

Select Preset Type

This menu selection allows the user to choose between Standard Preset or EZ Preset. Select Standard for standard preset operation. Select EZ-Preset for quick preset editing mode. (see section 5.4.1 Batcher Configuration.)

Single_Pulse

The Single_Pulse setting is used for flowmeters with single pulse outputs.

Slow Start Quantity

The Slow Start Quantity is a function that allows an amount to be entered for a Slow Start up. This function requires two stage valve control. RLY 1 (slow flow) will energize for Slow Start and RLY 2 (fast flow) will energize after the Slow Start Quantity has been delivered. This helps reduce turbulence when filling an empty container.

Stop/Reset Control Input

In a batching system, a single operator activation of the STOP key or Control Input 2 will stop the batch process then reset the total.

Totalizer

Any device which accumulates and displays a total count.

Volume Flow

The measurement of volumetric flow.
