from removing the module from the box to exchanging data with the processor. In
doing this, you will learn how to:
Set up the processor environment for the PTQ module
View how the PTQ module exchanges data with the processor
Edit and download configuration files from your PC to the PTQ module
Monitor the operation of the PTQ module

User Manual Liquid and Gas Flow Computer for Hydrocarbon Products
1.1 Introduction
The PTQ-AFC Gas & Oil Flow Computer module performs measurement of
Hydrocarbon Gases and Liquids using currently accepted industry measurement
standards. The module consists of a single-slot solution for Quantum chassis. To
obtain its process inputs for calculations, the module uses the process data
collected by analog and pulse I/O modules. The processor transfers this data to
the AFC module, which then calculates flow rates, accumulated volumes, and
accumulated mass. The results of the calculations are transferred back to the
processor for use in the application ladder logic, or for transfer to a SCADA host.
The module has two communication ports for Modbus communication allowing
easy access to a remote Modbus device. The module works as a Modbus slave
or master device.
As discussed later in this manual, the internal Modbus database can be
accessed by a Modbus Master device and by the processor (using the Modbus
Gateway Function).
The AFC Manager software can be used for easy meter configuration and
application monitoring.
The following section provides a sample application where input data is
transferred from the transmitters to analog input cards on the Schneider Electric
rack and the values are transferred from the processor to the module.
For Pulse meter applications, the pulse count and pulse frequency values are
typically transmitted through high-speed counter modules in the rack.
The module performs the flow calculation based on the values transferred
through the backplane. The calculation results can be read to the processor or
polled from a remote Modbus master unit connected to one of the communication
ports.

1.2 Update Notice
If your module measures liquids, please read this notice before upgrading from
version 2.04 (or earlier) to 2.05 (or later).
For compliance with new measurement standards, the AFC version 2.05 has
introduced several new liquid product groups. In particular, the two non-refined
liquid product groups of version 2.04, which covered the entire density range of
crudes and NGLs, have each been split into two separate product groups, one
for the higher density range of crudes and the other for the lower density range of
NGLs. If your module has meter channels configured for either "Crude, NGL" or
"Oil-water emulsion", you should decide before upgrading the firmware the
new product group (light or heavy) to which each such channel should be
assigned. This assignment will be performed during the upgrade process and will
preserve all other configuration and historical records including accumulator
values and archives, in contrast to changing a product group after the upgrade
which resets the meter configuration and erases all historical records. Meter
channels configured for "Gas" or "Refined products" are not affected.
AFC Manager exhibits the same behavior when converting a project between
versions 2.04 (or earlier) and 2.05 (or later).
The criterion for assigning the new product group depends on the density units
and the Default Reference Density, as described in the following tables:
Density Units = kg/m3
Version 2.04 Product Group
Crude, NGL
Crude, NGL
Oil Water Emulsion
Oil Water Emulsion
Default Reference Density
= 0 OR 610.0
> 0 AND < 610.0 NGLs, LPGs
= 0 OR 610.0
> 0 AND
610.0
ersion 2.05 Product Group
Crude oils, JP4
Oil-water emulsion (Crd)
Oil-water emulsion (NGL)
Density Units = Rd/60
Version 2.04 Product Group
Crude, NGL
Crude, NGL
Oil Water Emulsion
Oil Water Emulsion
Default Reference Density
= 0 OR 0.6100
> 0 AND < 0.6100 NGLs, LPGs
= 0 OR 0.6100
> 0 AND < 0.6100 Oil-water emulsion (NGL)
ersion 2.05 Product Group
Crude oils, JP4
Oil-water emulsion (Crd)
Due to roundoff error of numeric conversions, a Relative Density very close to
the cutoff value of 0.6100 may cause the module to assign the new product
group opposite to the one that was intended. Before upgrading, change the
Default Reference Density to a number significantly different from 0.6100, such
as 0.6110 (to target Crude) or 0.6090 (to target NGLs). You may change it back
to the correct value after the upgrade.

2.3 Building the Project
Whenever you update the configuration of your PTQ module or the processor,
you must import the changed configuration from the module, and then build
(compile) the project before downloading it to the processor.
Note: The following steps show you how to build the project in Unity Pro. This is not intended to
provide detailed information on using Unity Pro, or debugging your programs. Refer to the
documentation for your processor and for Unity Pro for specialized information.
To build (compile) the project:
1 Review the elements of the project in the Project Browser.
2 When you are satisfied that you are ready to download the project, open the
B
UILD menu, and then choose REBUILD ALL PROJECT. This action builds
(compiles) the project into a form that the processor can use to execute the
instructions in the project file. This task may take several minutes, depending
on the complexity of the project and the resources available on your PC.
3 As the project is built, Unity Pro reports its process in a Progress
with details appearing in a pane at the bottom of the window. The following
illustration shows the build process under way.

2.4 Connect Your PC to the Processor
The next step is to connect to the processor so that you can download the project
file. The processor uses this project file to communicate over the backplane to
modules identified in the project file.
Note: If you have never connected from the PC to your processor before, you must verify that the
necessary port drivers are installed and available to Unity Pro.
To verify address and driver settings in Unity Pro
1 Open the PLC menu, and choose STANDARD MODE. This action turns off the
PLC Simulator, and allows you to communicate directly with the Quantum or
Unity hardware.
2 Open the PLC
Address dialog box. Open the M
menu, and choose SET ADDRESS... This action opens the Set
EDIA dropdown list and choose the
connection type to use (TCPIP or USB).

2.4.1 Connecting to the Processor with TCPIP
The next step is to download (copy) the project file to the processor. The
following steps demonstrate how to use an Ethernet cable connected from the
Processor to your PC through an Ethernet hub or switch. Other connection
methods may also be available, depending on the hardware configuration of your
processor, and the communication drivers installed in Unity Pro.
1 If you have not already done so, connect your PC and the processor to an
Ethernet hub.
2 Open the PLC
Important: Notice that the Set Address dialog box is divided into two areas. Enter the address
and media type in the PLC area of the dialog box, not the Simulator area.

Concept configuration software from Schneider Electric to create a project, add
the PTQ module to the project, set up data memory for the project, and then
download the project to the processor.
Important Note: Concept software does not report whether the PTQ module is present in the rack,
and therefore is not able to report the health status of the module when the module is online with
the Quantum processor. Please consider this when monitoring the status of the PTQ module.
