• System types and requirements for the Marine Bunker Transfer Package

• Additional documentation

1.1 About this application manual

This application manual provides information required to install and operate the
Series 3000 transmitter with the Marine Bunker Transfer Package.

This application manual is designed for use with the following manual: Micro Motion
Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers: Configuration and Use Manual .

Orientation and planning

This application manual assumes that the transmitter display is used as the primary
configuration and operation method. However, ProLink II can be used for most
configuration and operation tasks. ProLink II also provides additional reporting and history
features. Use of ProLink II is documented in Chapter 6.

Important

Use this application manual as your main guide for installation, configuration, and operation. You
will be referred to other documentation for specific tasks and information.

1.2 Overview of the Micro Motion Certified Marine
Bunker Measurement Solution

The Micro Motion Certified Marine Bunker Measurement Solution is a system that provides
a complete solution for the measurement of marine fuel delivery. The system monitors
aeration (entrained gas or entrained air), and supplies a bunker ticket with time and date,
total amount transferred, and other relevant data.

The Certified Marine Bunker Measurement Solution includes an approved sensor, a
Series 3000 transmitter, the Marine Bunker Transfer Package application running on the
transmitter, the appropriate components from the Marine Bunker Instruments offering,
and Micro Motion field services.

Application Manual 1

Orientation and planning

1.2.1 Marine Bunker Transfer Package

The Marine Bunker Transfer Package is a software application installed on a Series 3000
transmitter. The Marine Bunker Transfer Package manages the specialized measurement,
monitoring, and ticket printing functions of the Certified Marine Bunker Measurement
Solution. For Profile and Profile/MID systems, the Marine Bunker Transfer Package also
handles communication with ProLink II.

Measurement

The Marine Bunker Transfer Package provides flow measurement data that complies with
OIML R117-1 and MID 2004/22/EC Annex MI-005. If the appropriate security hardware is
installed, the system has been accredited by a certified technician, and OIML/MID­approved procedures are followed, the bunker ticket can be used as a legal
(Weights & Measures) document.

OIML R117-1 compliance

The Marine Bunker Transfer Package is designed to comply with measurement and
operational requirements established by OIML. After the initial startup and certification,
OIML R117-1 compliance includes four factors, or checks. For bunker transfer
measurement data to meet OIML R117-1 requirements, the bunker transfer must pass all
four checks.

The four checks are as follows:

• MMQ check: The size of the bunker transfer is above the threshold defined by

Minimum Measured Quantity (MMQ). MMQ is specified during system certification.

• Max Aeration check: The potential measurement error due to aeration (entrained

gas or entrained air), in combination with other sources of measurement error, is
within MID limits as defined in MID 2004/22/EC Annex MI-005. The Aeration Limit
diagnostic is used to monitor this factor.

• Power check: Power was continuous during the transfer (no power interrupt).

• Alarm check: No “bunker-critical” alarms have occurred since the last time a bunker

ticket was printed.

If the bunker transfer fails one or more of these checks, the bunker transfer measurement
data does not meet OIML R117-1 requirements and the ticket will show Overall OIML R117-1:
Fail.

Note

Aeration Limit is always calculated and the four checks are always applied, whether or not an OIML/
MID-compliant system was purchased and installed. If the system is not OIML/MID-compliant, there
is no system performance traceability regardless of overall bunker pass/fail results.

Minimum Measured Quantity (MMQ)

Minimum Measured Quantity (MMQ) defines the minimum quantity of fuel in a bunker
transfer that is necessary to meet OIML/MID requirements.

2 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Orientation and planning

MMQ is used to ensure that the bunker is sized appropriately for the sensor, and also to
ensure that various factors related to starting and stopping flow do not have a significant
effect on measurement accuracy. During initial system configuration, the service
technician calculates and configures a site-specific value for MMQ. This value is typically
not changed unless the piping is changed.

Tip

If you need to change the value of MMQ, contact Micro Motion customer service.

If the mass total of a bunker transfer meets or exceeds MMQ, the bunker transfer passes
the MMQ check.

Aeration and Aeration Limit

Aeration refers to entrained gas or entrained air in the process fluid. Aeration Limit is a real­time diagnostic that monitors the potential measurement error due to aeration and other
factors, and compares the real-time value to the maximum allowable measurement error
as defined by MID 2004/22/EC Annex MI-005. Aeration Limit is expressed as a percentage of
the MID limit. If the value of Aeration Limit at the end of the bunker transfer is below 100%,
the bunker measurement passes the Max Aeration check.

Aeration Limit is calculated continuously. During a bunker transfer, Aeration Limit can
increase, decrease, or even exceed 100%. The current value of Aeration Limit is reported as
follows:

• When the transfer total reaches 20% of Minimum Measured Quantity (MMQ), the

display reports:

Medium Aeration Limit: <On> or <Off>
High Aeration Limit: <On> or <Off>

The thresholds for medium and high aeration are determined by the HI PV values
assigned to Discrete Event 1 and Discrete Event 2. Default settings are 20 and 75
(i.e., 20% of the maximum allowable aeration and 75% of the maximum allowable
aeration).

• When the transfer total reaches 100% of MMQ, the display reports one of the

following:

- Aeration Limit Pass (xxx%)

- Aeration Limit Fail (xxx%)

where xxx is the current value of Aeration Limit.

The display is updated continuously, allowing the operator to take corrective action as
required.

Bunker-critical alarms

If a bunker-critical alarm occurs during a bunker transfer, the transfer fails the Alarm check
and the measurement cannot be used to meet OIML/MID requirements. Not all alarms are
bunker-critical.

12 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Install the Series 3000 transmitter with the Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Procedure

1. Follow the instructions in Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers:
Configuration and Use Manual and the appropriate Quick Reference Guide to perform

the following installation tasks:

a. Mount the transmitter.

b. Wire the transmitter to the sensor.

c. Wire the transmitter’s secondary mA output and frequency output (if they will be

used).

d. Wire power to the transmitter.

e. Ground the transmitter.

2. Wire the level switch (or switches) to Discrete Input 1 and to power.

When Discrete Input 1 is assigned to Start/Stop Totalizers (during configuration), it will
start totalizers when there is liquid in the pipeline, and stop totalizers when there is
no liquid in the pipeline.

3. (Optional) Set up an integrity detection loop and wire it to Discrete Input 2.

The integrity detection loop may be used to detect leaks, cable breakage, short
circuits, and so on. Any preferred method or device can be used.

4. Set up a HART loop that connects the primary mA output to the external pressure
transmitter and the external temperature transmitter.

Notes

• The temperature transmitter is used only to correct volume measurements to reference

temperature. It may not be required in your installation.

• The Field Communicator can be connected to this loop.

5. (Optional) Follow the instructions in Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and
Controllers: Configuration and Use Manual to wire Discrete Output 1 and Discrete
Output 2 to signal devices such as lights or horns.

Tip

When the Marine Bunker Transfer Package is installed, a special default configuration is
implemented for Discrete Output 1, Discrete Output 2, Discrete Event 1, and Discrete Event
2:

• Discrete Event 1 is activated if Aeration Limit reaches 20% (medium aeration).

• Discrete Event 2 is activated if Aeration Limit reaches 75% (high aeration).

• Discrete Output 1 is assigned to Discrete Event 1.

• Discrete Output 2 is assigned to Discrete Event 2.

If this default configuration is retained and Discrete Output 1 and Discrete Output 2 are wired
to signal devices, the signal devices will alert the operator if Aeration Limit reaches the 20% or
75% threshold. You can change the thresholds defined for medium and high aeration by
changing the HI PV values for Discrete Event 1 and Discrete Event 2.

a. If Discrete Output 3 is wired to a relay to enable printing both bunker tickets and

profile reports (Profile or Profile/MID systems), set the source variable to RS485
Dual Function.

b. Configure all other outputs as desired.

Tip

When the Marine Bunker Transfer Package is installed, a special default configuration is
implemented for Discrete Output 1, Discrete Output 2, Discrete Event 1, and Discrete
Event 2:

• Discrete Event 1 is activated if Aeration Limit reaches 20% (medium aeration).

• Discrete Event 2 is activated if Aeration Limit reaches 75% (high aeration).

• Discrete Output 1 is assigned to Discrete Event 1.

• Discrete Output 2 is assigned to Discrete Event 2.

If this default configuration is retained and Discrete Output 1 and Discrete Output 2 are
wired to signal devices, the signal devices will alert the operator if Aeration Limit reaches
the 20% or 75% threshold. You can change the thresholds defined for medium and high
aeration by changing the HI PV values for Discrete Event 1 and Discrete Event 2.

15. (Optional) Follow the instructions in Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and

Controllers: Configuration and Use Manual to configure the process monitor.

Tip

You can configure Aeration Limit as a display variable. Use this approach if you want to
monitor Aeration Limit along with other variables that are not on the Marine Bunkering
dashboard.

The default value is 3. The range is 1 to 3.

On the first ticket, the word “Original” is printed at the bottom of the ticket. On the
second and third tickets, the word “Copy” is printed at the bottom of the ticket.

Tip

You can change the Number of Tickets setting while the transmitter is secured.

4.3.1 Mass in air

Micro Motion flowmeters provide a “true mass” or “mass in vacuum” value for mass
measurement. Weigh scales provide a “mass in air” value. Due to the buoyancy effect of
the air around the object being weighed, the “mass in air” value is lower than the “mass in
vacuum” value.

If Mass In Air is enabled, the transmitter will calculate the “mass in air” value, and print the
“mass in air” total on the bunker ticket instead of the Mass Total (“mass in vacuum”) value.

To calculate “mass in air”, the transmitter multiplies the Mass Total value by the Mass in Air
conversion factor: 0.998925. This constant is based on environmental conditions at sea
level.

40 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Configure the system using the transmitter display

Note

The actual conversion factor varies according to current environmental conditions. However, the
effect of this variability is extremely small and can be ignored for all practical purposes.

4.4 Configure communications

If you have a Basic or Basic/MID system, you must configure communications between the
transmitter and the ticket printer. If you have a Profile or Profile/MID system, you must
configure communications between the transmitter and the ticket printer and between

4.5 Secure and seal the transmitter

Securing the transfer protects it from accidental or unauthorized configuration changes.
To meet Weights & Measures requirements (Basic/MID or Profile/MID systems), the
transmitter must be sealed after it is secured.

Prerequisites

Before securing the transmitter, ensure that all parameters are configured correctly, all
required tests and calibrations have been performed, and that the system is performing
correctly. After the transmitter has been secured, only basic operational procedures can be
performed.

If you are setting up a Basic/MID or Profile/MID system, review the sealing instructions in

Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers: Configuration and Use Manual

and arrange for a site visit from a certified Weights & Measures inspector.

Procedure

1. To secure the transmitter, set the security switch on the transmitter to ON.

See Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers: Configuration and Use
Manual for detailed instructions on securing the transmitter.

Note

Although you can perform bunker transfers while the transmitter is unsecured, the ticket will
contain a Security Breach banner, and the transfer will not meet OIML/MID requirements.

44 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Configure the system using the transmitter display

2. (Optional) To seal the transmitter, a wire seal must be installed in the designated
location on the transmitter housing.

See Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers: Configuration and Use
Manual for detailed instructions on sealing the transmitter. This function is typically
performed by the Micro Motion service technician.

5.1 Transfer a bunker and print a ticket

This procedure guides you through transferring a bunker and printing a bunker ticket. For
Basic systems, ticket printing is optional. For Basic/MID systems, ticket printing is required.

Tip

If you want to print bunker-specific information on the bunker ticket, e.g., the vessel name, you can
change the settings of Header 1, Header 2, and Footer while the transmitter is secured. You can also
change the setting of Number of Tickets while the transmitter is secured.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the transmitter is secured.

Ensure that you are complying with all other applicable procedures, e.g., procedures for
your barge or vessel, procedures for OIML/MID compliance, etc.

Ensure that Mass Flow Rate is 0.0.

Check startup values:

• Shore facilities and vessels: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0, or the site-specific Systemic

Holdup value that was configured for your system during commissioning. If it is not,
press the Print button to reset the totals.

• Barges: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0. If it is not, press the Print button to reset the

totals. If this does not correct the problem, contact Micro Motion.

Tip

If your system does not include a ticket printer, a Reset button is displayed instead of the Print button.
Press Reset to reset the totals.

Application Manual 47

Operate the system from the transmitter display

Take appropriate precautions to ensure that flow occurs in only one direction during the
bunker transfer. Small amounts of backflow due to valve action or other mechanical issues
are insignificant, but larger amounts will affect measurement accuracy.

During the bunker transfer, take appropriate steps to ensure that Mass Flow Rate does not
hover around 0. Very low values for Mass Flow Rate can affect measurement accuracy. Low
values for Mass Flow Rate at the beginning and end of the bunker transfer have insignificant
effects.

Procedure

1. At the Marine Bunkering dashboard, select Bunker Operations.

Tip

If you are not at the Marine Bunkering dashboard, press the Exit button as required until the
Marine Bunkering dashboard is displayed.

2. Start flow and totalizers.

If you have installed and configured the system as recommended, totalizers will be
started automatically when liquid is detected in the pipeline. If a transmitter power
cycle has occurred, totalizing does not begin until system startup procedures are
complete.

3. At the Marine Bunkering dashboard, monitor bunker delivery and aeration. If
necessary, take appropriate steps to reduce aeration.

Tips

• At 20% of Maximum Measured Quantity (MMQ), the display reports conditions of medium

and high aeration. At 100% of MMQ, the display reports the current value of Aeration Limit.

• During the bunker transfer, you can stop and restart flow as required. If you have installed

and configured the system as recommended, totalizers will be stopped and restarted
automatically.

4. To end the bunker transfer:

a. Stop flow.

b. Press the Print button on the transmitter.

Important

• For systems without a ticket printer, a Reset button is displayed instead of the Print

button. Use the Reset button to end the transfer.

• The Print button (or Reset button) is not available until Mass Flow Rate is 0 and the totals

are non-zero.

• If the ticket queue in the transmitter contains unprinted tickets, transfer data will be

lost when additional tickets are printed. Print the current ticket, then print all
unprinted tickets before performing another bunker transfer. If this is the case, the
transmitter displays an informational message.

48 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

• If the value Mass Total contains more digits than the display can handle, the transmitter

shows 0 R (where “R” is the rollover indicator). However, because the underlying value
is non-zero, the Print button is available.

The bunker ticket is printed on the ticket printer. If you have configured the system
for multiple tickets, all tickets are printed at this time. All totals are automatically
reset in preparation for the next bunker transfer. If Systemic Holdup is non-zero, it is
applied now.

5.1.1 Systemic Holdup

Systemic Holdup is a site-specific value that is calculated and configured during commissioning by the Micro Motion technician. It represents the amount of process fluid that may exist between the meter and the transfer point, or in the pipeworks, that cannot be measured by the meter because it has not flowed through the sensor.

When totals are reset at the end of a bunker transfer, in preparation for the next transfer,
the Mass Total value is adjusted by the configured value of Systemic Holdup. Therefore, the
value of Mass Total at the beginning of the transfer may not be 0.0.

Restriction

Systemic Holdup is not applicable to installations that use bi-directional measurement. These
installations are typically barges. For all installations of this type, the value of Mass Total at the
beginning of the transfer should always be 0.0.

Application Manual 49

Operate the system from the transmitter display

The need for Systemic Holdup can be eliminated by good bunkering practices: Always have
the pipeworks in the same state before and after the bunker transfer: either full/full or
empty/empty.

Important

If you need to change the setting of Systemic Holdup, or if you want to change your bunkering
procedures in a way that affects the fullness of the pipeworks before or after a bunker transfer,
contact Micro Motion.

5.2 Transfer a bunker, collect profile data, and print a ticket and/or a profile report

This procedure guides you through transferring a bunker, collecting profile data, and
printing a bunker ticket and/or a profile report, using the transmitter display. For Profile
systems, ticket printing is optional. For Profile/MID systems, ticket printing is required.

Tip

If you want to print bunker-specific information on the bunker ticket, e.g., the vessel name, you can
change the settings of Header 1, Header 2, and Footer while the transmitter is secured. You can also
change the setting of Number of Tickets while the transmitter is secured.

Prerequisites

To print a bunker ticket, your system must include a ticket printer.

Ensure that the transmitter is secured.

Ensure that you are complying with all other applicable procedures, e.g., procedures for
your barge or vessel, procedures for OIML/MID compliance, etc.

Ensure that Mass Flow Rate is 0.0.

Check startup values:

• Shore facilities and vessels: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0, or the site-specific Systemic

Holdup value that was configured for your system during commissioning. If it is not,
press the Print button to reset the totals.

• Barges: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0. If it is not, press the Print button to reset the

totals. If this does not correct the problem, contact Micro Motion.

Tip

If your system does not include a ticket printer, a Reset button is displayed instead of the Print button.
Press Reset to reset the totals.

Take appropriate precautions to ensure that flow occurs in only one direction during the
bunker transfer. Small amounts of backflow due to valve action or other mechanical issues
are insignificant, but larger amounts will affect measurement accuracy.

50 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Operate the system from the transmitter display

During the bunker transfer, take appropriate steps to ensure that Mass Flow Rate does not
hover around 0. Very low values for Mass Flow Rate can affect measurement accuracy. Low
values for Mass Flow Rate at the beginning and end of the bunker transfer have insignificant
effects.

The transmitter must be ready to accept a connection from ProLink II. If you have trouble
making the connection:

• Ensure that communications have been configured for a Profile or Profile/MID

system.

transfer. If the connection is dropped, data in the profile report and the ProLink II bunkering
database will be incomplete. Check the power options on the PC and ensure that Windows
will not turn off the monitor or the hard disks or go into standby mode during the bunker
transfer.

2. Start flow and totalizers.

If you have installed and configured the system as recommended, totalizers will be
started automatically when liquid is detected in the pipeline. If a transmitter power
cycle has occurred, totalizing does not begin until system startup procedures are
complete.

3. At the Marine Bunkering dashboard, monitor bunker delivery and aeration. If

necessary, take appropriate steps to reduce aeration.

5.4 Process variables during a bunker transfer

Due to the algorithms used to calculate the marine bunkering process variables, the
transmitter may temporarily display values that do not reflect the current process.

Aeration Limit

Aeration Limit is not shown on the transmitter display until the transfer total reaches 20% of
MMQ.

At the beginning of the transfer, the end of the transfer, and any time that the flow rate is
near 0, Aeration Limit may be very high. The overall effect on measurement accuracy is
insignificant unless the flow rate was near 0 for extended periods.

Volume totals and inventories

Volume Inventory is calculated from the real-time density data, and the inventory starts
counting when the bunker starts.

Volume Total, Gross Volume Total, and Net Volume Total are calculated from average density
data. Average density data is not calculated until the first ton of fluid has been measured.
Until that time, these process variables are reported as 0. After one ton of fluid has been
measured, the totalizer starts counting, applying the average density data to the
measured mass and continuing forward.

5.5 Process noise due to vibration

Vibration generated by an external influence (for example, a pump) can influence the
current meter measurement. Overall bunker accuracy and long-term measurement
accuracy are not affected.

There are isolated instances when a specific vibration generated from an external influence
(a pump, for instance) can influence the meter measurement. The interference causes a
sinusoidal noise on the meter signal, although it does not affect the long-term accuracy of
the meter.

If the interference is present, it is easily diagnosed by logging the mass flow rate using
ProLink II, ProLink III, or a similar tool. Instead of a very stable mass flow signal, you will see
a signal that has a very distinct sinusoidal characteristic. The amplitude of the noise will be
less than approximately 1% of nominal flow rate. (For nominal flow rates, refer to the
product data sheet for your sensor.)

If you observe measurement disturbances that may be caused by external vibration,
consult the factory for assistance.

5.8 Retrieve and reprint bunker tickets using the transmitter display

Ticket data for the five previous bunker transfers is stored on the transmitter. You can
retrieve the data for viewing, and you can print duplicate tickets. You can also use this
function to recover from print failures.

1. At the Marine Bunkering dashboard, choose Bunker Ticket Log.

Tip

If you are not at the Marine Bunkering dashboard, press the Exit button as required until the
Marine Bunkering dashboard is displayed.

Up to five tickets are listed, by BOL number. The most recent is listed first. For each
ticket:

• (P): The ticket has been printed successfully.

• (F): The ticket has not been printed successfully.

2. Select a ticket.

3. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow buttons to view all ticket data.

4. If desired, press Print to print the selected ticket. If profile data was collected during

the bunker transfer and ProLink II is currently connected, you can also print a
duplicate profile report.

If the ticket has previously been printed, the new ticket will be a duplicate ticket and
the “Duplicate Receipt” banner is automatically added to the ticket. If the ticket has
not been previously printed, the banner is not added to the ticket.

Important

• The ticket will be printed with the current settings for Header, Footer, and Number of Tickets.

• The ticket will be printed according to the currently configured bunker ticket options

(Bunker Result, Bunker Result Details, Mass In Air, etc.).

Tip

You can change the header and footer parameters while the transmitter is secured. This
allows you to use them for bunker-specific information if desired (for example, vessel name,
purchaser name, and so on).

5. Set Number of Tickets to the number of tickets to be printed with one print command.

The default value is 3. The range is 1 to 3.

On the first ticket, the word “Original” is printed at the bottom of the ticket. On the
second and third tickets, the word “Copy” is printed at the bottom of the ticket.

Tip

You can change the Number of Tickets setting while the transmitter is secured.

6.2 Transfer a bunker using ProLink II

This procedure guides you through transferring a bunker, collecting profile data, and
printing a bunker ticket and/or a profile report, using ProLink II. For Profile systems, ticket
printing is optional. For Profile/MID systems, ticket printing is required.You can also print a
line graph of four process variables.

Tip

If you want to print bunker-specific information on the bunker ticket, e.g., the vessel name, you can
change the settings of Header 1, Header 2, and Footer while the transmitter is secured. You can also
change the setting of Number of Tickets while the transmitter is secured.

Prerequisites

To print a bunker ticket, your system must include a ticket printer.

Ensure that the transmitter is secured.

Ensure that you are complying with all other applicable procedures, e.g., procedures for
your barge or vessel, procedures for OIML/MID compliance, etc.

Ensure that Mass Flow Rate is 0.0.

Check startup values:

• Shore facilities and vessels: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0, or the site-specific Systemic

Holdup value that was configured for your system during commissioning. If it is not,
press the Print button to reset the totals.

• Barges: Ensure that Mass Total is 0.0. If it is not, press the Print button to reset the

totals. If this does not correct the problem, contact Micro Motion.

Tip

If your system does not include a ticket printer, a Reset button is displayed instead of the Print button.
Press Reset to reset the totals.

72 Micro Motion® Marine Bunker Transfer Package

Use ProLink II with the Marine Bunkering Transfer Package

Take appropriate precautions to ensure that flow occurs in only one direction during the
bunker transfer. Small amounts of backflow due to valve action or other mechanical issues
are insignificant, but larger amounts will affect measurement accuracy.

During the bunker transfer, take appropriate steps to ensure that Mass Flow Rate does not
hover around 0. Very low values for Mass Flow Rate can affect measurement accuracy. Low
values for Mass Flow Rate at the beginning and end of the bunker transfer have insignificant
effects.

The transmitter must be ready to accept a connection from ProLink II. If you have trouble
making the connection:

• Ensure that communications have been configured for a Profile or Profile/MID

system.

• Ensure that the RS-485 terminals are in RS-485 mode, rather than service port

mode.

Procedure

1. Connect from ProLink II to the transmitter.

a. Start ProLink II.

b. Click Connection > Connect to Device .

c. Set Protocol, Baud Rate, Parity, and Stop Bits to the values configured in the

transmitter.

d. Set Serial Port to the PC port you are using for the connection.

e. Set Address to the value configured for the transmitter. The default address is 1.

f. Click Connect.

If the connection is successful, the Marine Bunkering window is displayed.

Tip

To open the Marine Bunkering window, if you have closed it, choose Tools > Marine Bunker
Transfer.

2. Start flow and totalizers.

If you have installed and configured the system as recommended, totalizers will be
started automatically when liquid is detected in the pipeline. If a transmitter power
cycle has occurred, totalizing does not begin until system startup procedures are
complete.

3. Use the Monitor panel in the Marine Bunkering window to observe process data.

The Monitor panel displays current values of six process variables, and a line graph of
four process variables.

Tip

You can use Drive Gain to track aeration (entrained gas or entrained air) during the bunker
transfer. Drive Gain is a measure of the energy required to vibrate the sensor tubes to full
amplitude. When aeration is present, more energy is required and the drive gain increases

Application Manual 73

Use ProLink II with the Marine Bunkering Transfer Package

dramatically. The maximum value of Drive Gain is 100%. Note that other process and
equipment conditions can cause result in higher Drive Gain values. For more information, see
Micro Motion Series 3000 MVD Transmitters and Controllers: Configuration and Use Manual .

4. (Optional) To print the line graph from the Marine Bunkering window while a bunker

transfer is in progress, click Print Graph.

5. To end the bunker transfer:

a. Stop flow.

b. Click the Print Ticket button on the Monitor panel.

If your system does not include a ticket printer, a Reset button is displayed
instead of the Print Ticket button. Click Reset to end the transfer.

The Print Ticket and Reset buttons in ProLink II have the same functions as the Print and
Reset buttons on the face of the transmitter. Totals are reset and a bunker ticket is
printed (if a ticket printer is available). If Systemic Holdup is non-zero, it is applied now.

6. (Optional) To preview or print a profile report, click the Preview button or the Print

Report button on the Monitor panel.

These buttons are not available until a ticket has been printed. You may need to wait
a few seconds after clicking Print Ticket.

6.3 Print or reprint a bunker ticket using ProLink II

You can print or reprint the bunker ticket for any bunker transfer in the ProLink II bunkering
database. You can use this function to recover from print failures.

1. Connect ProLink II to the transmitter.

2. Select the History panel in the Marine Bunkering window.

3. Select the desired transfer record from Historical Transfer Log Index.

Transfer records are ordered by timestamp. Historical Transfer 1 is the most recent
bunker transfer.

4. Click Print Ticket to print or reprint a ticket.

If the ticket has previously been printed, the new ticket will be a duplicate ticket and the
“Duplicate Receipt” banner is automatically added to the ticket. If the ticket has not been
previously printed, the banner is not added to the ticket.

Important

• The ticket will be printed with the current settings for Header, Footer, and Number of Tickets.

• The ticket will be printed according to the currently configured bunker ticket options (Bunker

Result, Bunker Result Details, Mass In Air, etc.).
