2.2NOC system design options
Using the Net Oil Computer Software and the ROC809 controller, many different NOC systems can
be designed. The basic set of NOC system options is listed below:
•The NOC system may be used with a two-phase separator, including a variety of compact
separators (e.g., Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone, or GLCC
•A maximum of three Micro Motion sensors can be used for oil, water, or liquid (oil/water
mixture) measurement.
•On any one leg, up to three sensors can be installed in parallel.
•Gas measurement is optional. If a gas measurement device is installed, it may be a
Micro Motion sensor or a conventional device from another vendor. In either case, an AGA
license is required on the ROC809 platform.
•Pressure and temperature sensors are optional:
-If a pressure sensor is not installed, no pressure compensation or correction is applied to
sensor data or NOC measurement. If a pressure sensor is installed, either pressure
compensation, pressure correction, or both may be applied.
-If a temperature sensor is not installed, temperature data from the RTD on the
Micro Motion sensor will be used for temperature correction.
•Water cut probes (WCP) are optional. If a WCP is installed, it can be used for all water cut
measurement on the line, or used within a user-specified range.
•The ROC809 platform may be used to monitor and control other devices, such as a level
sensor. These functions are not managed by the Net Oil Computer Software. They must be set
up and configured separately.
The following figures illustrate several of these options.

2.5ROC809 modules
To support the NOC system, the ROC809 controller must be ordered with an RS-485 module that is
used to communicate with the Micro Motion sensor(s). Other modules that may be part of the
NOC system include:
•Analog output module – typically used for liquid control valve, gas control valve
•Analog input module – typically used for WCP, pressure sensor, level sensor, gas sensor
•Discrete output module – typically used for pump or device control, alarm control, Transient
Bubble Remediation (TBR) implementation, frequency or pulse output simulation
•Discrete input module – typically used for external alarm indication
•RTD input module – typically used to provide external temperature data for temperature
correction
•RS-485 or RS-232 communications module – used for communications with host
These modules must be installed in the ROC809 module rack, which contains slots for nine modules.

2.6Power requirements
There are two sets of power requirements:
•Requirements for the ROC809 platform – Total power requirements for the ROC809 platform
depend on the number and type of modules used, and the number of channels used per module.
See the document entitled ROC809 Remote Operations Controller: Instruction Manual to
calculate power requirements for your ROC809 platform.
•Requirements for the I.S. barrier(s) – Each I.S. barrier requires 24 VDC +/- 20% at the power
terminals. The I.S. barrier powers the core processor and sensor.
You can power the I.S. barriers separately or from the power input module on the ROC809 platform.
If you choose the second option, be sure to include the I.S. barrier requirements when you calculate
the ROC809 power requirements.

Chapter 5
Startup Procedures
5.1Overview
This chapter provides instructions and information for the following procedures:
•Verifying the core processor configuration – see Section 5.2
•Performing a sensor zero (optional) – see Section 5.3
These procedures should be performed on all Micro Motion sensors in the NOC system before you
begin configuration of the Net Oil Computer Software.
5.2Core processor configuration
There is one core processor for each Micro Motion sensor in the NOC system. The Net Oil Computer
Software communicates with the sensor through the core processor, which performs a variety of
configuration and preprocessing functions. Accordingly, the core processor contains configuration
parameters that affect NOC measurement.
To verify core processor configuration:
1. Use ProLink II to connect to each core processor as described in Section 4.2.4.
IndexStartup Procedures
2. Refer to Table 5-1 and verify or update parameter settings.
3. Record the settings for each core processor.
Note: Table 5-1 lists only the parameters that affect NOC processing. For more information on these
parameters, refer to a Micro Motion transmitter configuration manual.

(1) The Net Oil Computer Software can accept any measurement units options from the core processor. However, Micro Motion
recommends using the core processor default units, as shown here.
(2) The pressure units are relevant only if pressure compensation is being implemented at the core processor level, which requires a
pressure input directly to the core processor. This is not a typical implementation; Micro Motion recommends that pressure
compensation be implemented in the Net Oil Computer Software. See the manual entitled Micro Motion Net Oil Computer Software and NOC System: Configuration and Use Manual.
5.3Sensor zero
Zeroing the sensor establishes the sensor’s point of reference when there is no flow. The sensor was
zeroed at the factory, and should not require a field zero. However, you may wish to perform a field
zero to meet local requirements or to confirm the factory zero.
When you zero the flowmeter, you may need to adjust the zero time parameter. Zero time is the
amount of time the transmitter takes to determine its zero-flow reference point. The default zero time
is 20 seconds.
•A long zero time may produce a more accurate zero reference but is more likely to result in a
zero failure. This is due to the increased possibility of noisy flow, which causes incorrect
calibration.
•A short zero time is less likely to result in a zero failure but may produce a less accurate zero
reference.
For most applications, the default zero time is appropriate.
