Chapter 1 – Introduction
Gas Control Manager Program User Manual (FB107)
Caution
When implementing control using this product, observe best industry
practices as suggested by applicabl e and appropriate environmental,
health, and safety organizations. While this product can be used as A
safety component in a system, it is NOT intended o r designed to be the
ONLY safety mechanism in that system.
This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview and installation instructions of the Gas Control Manager
Program for the FloBoss 107 (FB107).
1.1. Scope and Organization
This document is the user manual for the Gas Control Manager Program
for use in the FB107.
This manual describes how to download and configure this program
(referred to as the “Gas Control Manager Program” or “the program”
throughout the rest of this manual). You access and configure this program
using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration Software (version 2.20 or greater)
loaded on a personal computer (PC) running Windows XP (with Service
Pack 3), Windows Vista™ (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), or
Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit).
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate
for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the
software running in a FB107, the manual becomes a reference tool.
The Gas Control Manager Program has two major components: EFM
Applications and Cause and Effect. This manual describes both
components, as well as an additional feature, Flow Summation.
(D301249X012)
Revised Aug-16 1
Gas Control Manager Program User Manual (FB107)
1.2.1. EFM Applications
The Gas Control Manager program enables you to configure the FB107 to
perform common gas measurement (EFM) functions, including station
emergency shutdown, output of a 4-20 mA signal proportional to an input
or calculation, reset total meter accumulators for volume/energy, and run
switching. Normally, you would have to write a series FSTs to accomplish
these tasks; the program simplified the management of these and other
EFM-related tasks.
1.2.2. Cause and Effect
The program supports 16 causes and 8 effects, enabling you to perform
logical operations without writing FSTs. Typically, a cause monitors a
selected point that the program logically evaluates against a setpoint you
define. Any tripped cause linked to an effect forces the action defined in
that effect. The design of the configuration screens enables you to
configure this logic using a Cause & Effect matrix. In many cases you can
input the effects and causes line by line through the entire matrix. Each
cause configuration screen and effect configuration screen applies to a tag
line in your Cause & Effect matrix.
1.2.3. Flow Summation
An additional feature of the Gas Control Management program is the
ability to sum station values, totalizing any selected meter runs into flow
or volume results for station 1 or 2. You can then place volume and energy
results into softpoint tables or access those values directly through their
TLPs. Resettable total station accumulators are available according to the
totalization selections as well for station 1 or 2.
Station Total Accumulators for volume and energy accumulate selected
meter runs as totalized amount until you manually reset the accumulators.
The point parameters used accumulate to a huge number, and (for all
practical purposes) will never reach a roll-over point.
1.3. Program Requirements
You download the Gas Control Manager Program to the Flash and RAM
memory on the FB107 with firmware version 1.60 (or greater). Download
and configure the program using ROCLINK 800 Configuration software
version 2.20 (or greater).

Delays
Use the Spike and Settling delays to set how long the
system waits before taking action.
Gas Control Manager Program User Manual (FB107)
Field
Description
Spike Delay
Settling Delay
Switch Mode
Sets, in seconds, a delay time. The program examines
this field whenever a run’s Input TLP value goes above
or below its high or low set point. The condition must
remain in effect for the number of seconds specified in
this field before any run-switching executes. The delay
provides a filter for the process variables. The Spike
Delay time is also used when switching downto a lower
tube that has been closed or up from a lower tube that
will be closed (this happens when “Leave Open After
Opening Next Tube” is unchecked). Before the program
closes that tube, it must see flow (a PV value greater
than the PV Cutoff Value) for the tube just opened, for
the amount of time specified in the Spike Delay.
Maximum value is 255 seconds.
Sets, in seconds, a delay time. This delay goes into
effect immediately after a run switches. During the delay,
the new focus run remains in focus, so no comparisons
occur for any more possible switching. This allows
process conditions to stabilize after the previous change
before any more decisions are made. Maximum value is
255 seconds.
Indicates how the tubes are monitored.
Monitor All
Monitor Last
Opened
Monitors all passed switch points. For
example, if all four tubes had been
opened, choosing this option causes
the system to monitor the switch points
in all four tubes.
Monitors only the switch point that was
last activated. For example, if all four
tubes had been opened, choosing this
option causes the system to monitor
the switch points in tube 4 only.
Solenoid
Mode
14 Revised Aug-16
Selects a method for controlling the run switching valve
activations. The selected mode applies to all valves, and
impacts status messages that notify whether relevant
selections for digital outputs and digital inputs have been
made. Valid values are:
Single
Solenoid
Latch
The Open DO selection is defined for
each valve used which opens and
closes the valve by energizing or deenergizing a solenoid. The Open and
Close DI selections can be defined and
monitored to verify valve travel if
needed.

Description
Dual Solenoid

Dual Solenoid
Momentary
The Open DO selection defines the
output signal to open the valve. The
program will hold this state until a
signal to close is issued. The Close DO
selection will define the output signal to
close the valve. One or the other
solenoids will always be on. The Open
and Close DI selections can be defined
and monitored to verify valve travel if
needed.
In this mode the outputs behave as a
Dual Solenoid Latch, but the solenoid
resets or releases after the valve
travels and the valve DI limit switches
detect that valve position.
In this mode, selections are made for
an open and close DO that turn on
momentarily while the valve travels and
then turn off. The FloBoss Point I/O
Time On setting for that DO determines
the duration of the momentary pulse.
The Open and Close DI selections can
be defined and monitored to verify
valve travel if needed.
Focus Run
Verification
PV Cutoff
Value
Verifies the focus (control) tube by continually monitoring
the verification method of each enabled tube. The
highest number tube that is verified to be flowing is set as
the focus tube. This feedback causes the proper DO
state to be asserted to establish proper focus. Valid
values are:
Disable
PV Flow
Sensing
DI State
Defines a threshold for a valid flow sensing condition
using the low flow cutoff value. The program also uses
this value to establish a valid flow for the Action On
Failure mode Illegal PV Flow.
No Run Verification
Compares Input PV to the PV Cutof f
Value to determine whether a flow
condition exists for that tube. The
highest number tube that is flowing
becomes the focus tube.
Examines the state of the digital inputs
for each tube to determine the focus
tube. The highest number tube with its
digital inputs indicating “valve open”
becomes the focus tube. If these DI
points are “Undefined,” this evaluation
is not made.

Station ESD
ESD TLP
Action On

Configures the Emergency Shutdown feature. If you
leave this field “Undefined” the ESD is not activated. This
feature can also be used for routine station shut-in. When
tripped, an ESD closes all run switching valves to provide
positive shut-in. A Set conditi on is logge d to the alar m
log. The program restores the run switching function
when the ESD condition clears, and sends a Clear
condition to the alarm log.
Defines the TLP the program monitors for emergency
shutdown.
Verifies tube flowing conditions or DI states relative to the
focus tube depending on the selected Failure Type.
Various actions are possible based on the selection. No

3. Proceed to Section 3.1.2, Run Switching – Run Switch Tab: Tube
Settings.
Focus Run Verification methods can be used to assure the run switching
program’s focus tube is what is actually happening. An example of this is
a valve with momentary solenoids that do not change state when the
output is pulsed. If this were to occur, the program would switch focus and
lose sight of the actual valve states. This may be most useful for dual
Gas Control Manager Program User Manual (FB107)
solenoids that do not hold their states such as Momentary or DI Reset
modes.
An example of what happens in the event of a valve switch failure: Tube 3
has just pulsed to close because of low DP. Ordinarily tube 2 becomes the
focus run. But as long as flow is still sensed in tube 3, it remains the focus
run. After the settling time expires (default 30 seconds), if tube 3 still has
low DP, the program will pulse to close tube 3 again and wait another
settling period.
3.1.2. Run Switching – Run Switch Tab: Tube S e t t ings
Use this section to configure switching for up to four runs. You define
your input and output points, set high and low points, and choose when to
open and close runs.
In the Run Switching section, you can configure switching for up to four
runs, using various types of input and output points. The program supports
both non-latching and latching (such as Versa® Valve or Magna-Latch)
solenoids and has configurable high and low switch points, and the option
of closing the previous run when opening another.
Figure 12. Station settings of the Run Switch tab
Notice that the Run 1 configuration has no Lo SwitchPt field. This is
because the Lo SwitchPt field triggers a run to be closed and closing Run
1 would result in no flow at the station. Conversely, notice that the Run 4
configuration has no Hi SwitchPt or Leave Open fields. This is because
there is no Run 5 to be opened after Run 4.
1. Review the values in the following fields:

Field
Description
Tag
Enabled
Input PV TLP
A 10-character field that identifies the meters that
makes up the run-switching scheme. This tag is
useful for documentation purposes (screen prints,
etc.).
Select this checkbox to enable a run for the runswitching scheme. You must enable at least two runs
in order to do run-switching. If only one of the four
runs is enabled, no action is done. The left-most run
(Run 1) is the primary run (open during lowest/all flow
conditions). The focus starts on the left and moves to
the right. Normally, at least Run 1 and Run 2 would
be enabled to do run-switching with two meters.
However, the program allows you to skip runs (taken
out of service) so the run-switching functionality is still
valid even with Run 1 disabled (as long as you have
enabled two or more other runs).
Specifies the points in the FB107 that are defined as
variable inputs to the run-switching function. For
orifice measurement, these are typically differential
pressures (DPs) which are the “Meter Input”
parameter used in flow calculations. For linear
measurement, actual uncorrected flow is typically
selected. If you leave this field “Undefined” the
program displays a PV Type Not Selected status
message. The field shown as PV displays the current
value of the selected Input PV.
Open DO TLP
Close DO TLP
Energize to
Open
Specifies the points in the FB107 that are wired to the
valve solenoids. These should be digital output points.
They can be wired to either non-latching solenoids
(energized/de-energized) or latching solenoids (such
as Versa Valves or Magna-Latches). All enabled
tubes must use an Open DO with the exception of the
base tube (the first enabled tube), which is optional. If
the base tube has no actuated switching valve, the
DO will be “Undefined”.
Specifies the points in the FB107 that are wired to the
valve solenoids. These are the digital output points.
They can be wired to either non-latching solenoids
(energized/de-energized) or latching solenoids (such
as Versa Valves or Magna-Latches). If the single
solenoid mode is selected (such that a single solenoid
both opens and closes the valve), or the base tube
has no actuated switching valve, then the Close DO
TLP is unused, and is left “Undefined”.
For more information about open and close DO, refer
to Section 3.1.6. About Open and Close DO.
Energizes the Open DO to open the valve and open

run’s “Input TLP” is greater than or equal to its high
set point for a certain amount of time (spike delay),
the next enabled run to the right opens. When using
“Monitor All Passed SwitchPts,” if any of the runs is
above its high set point, the next enabled run to the
right of focus opens and focus shifts to that run.
Notice that Run4 has no “Hi Switch Pt” field as there
is no openable run to its right (all available runs are
already open).
Note: The units of this field are actual Engineering
Units (not percentages).
Select this checkbox if, during expansion, each run
remains open when focus shifts to the next enabled
run to the right. If you do not select this checkbox,
each run opens only when it is the focus run (there is
only one run open at all times). When a run loses
focus it remains open while monitoring the new focus
run (to either the left or right). When flow is detected
on the new focus run (Input TLP value is greater than
one, for the spike delay time), the previous focus
closes.

Before you begin configuring causes and effects, a little planning is
helpful. You may have up to eight effects triggered by one or more of the

sixteen causes. For this reason, it is best to plan your effects first, and then
decide what triggers those effects.
You may wish to use a chart such as the one pictured below as a handy
way to organize your information. The effects are located across the top of
the table in columns, and the causes are listed down the left side of the
table for easy reference:
