General Description
General DescriptionGeneral Description
The Quantum MPM module is designed for flow meter applications that require specialty features such as pulse
fidelity checking and pulse interpolation for short run prover testing. It supports both AC and DC input signals
from flow meters. The module conditions the inputs to standard digital levels. It stores the converted data in its
image table for retrieval by any Quantum PLC.
The module communicates with the PLC and receives its power through the PLC backplane from the +5VDC
rack power supplies. No external power supply is required.
Your MPM supports connections from any combination of flow meter devices, with different input voltage
ranges. Each channel is individually configurable via software for a specific input device and provides rate and
limit detection. Flow mode and input range are configured in two channel groups.

Hardware FeaturesHardware Features
Hardware Features
Hardware FeaturesHardware Features
The Quantum counter module contains a removable Modicon 40-pin terminal block providing connections for
up to eight input devices. The illustration below shows the hardware features of the module.
The module supports these input types:
• AC (50 mV to 75V peak)
• 5VDC
• 12VDC
• 24VDC
Both rate and count data are simultaneously available to the user. User selectable instantaneous or average rate
modes are supported.
For improved noise reduction, the module has a digital filter that is selectable between 50 kHz and 30 kHz. A
selectable analog 15 kHz single-pole filter is also available for low speed applications.
Module configuration is stored in the PLC memory. Normally configuration uses ModSoft, Concept, Fast-Track,
and ProWorks programming software. Details are provided in chapter 3, “Module Configuration.”
Counter ModeCounter Mode
Counter Mode
Counter ModeCounter Mode
The counter functions of the module include programmable control of the counter, including start, stop, reset,
and user-defined flags. The module makes the state of input counter levels available to the PLC, allowing any
channel to be used as a discrete input.
The module has an onboard timer that converts counter inputs into a rate output. Both counter total and
calculated input rate are made available to the PLC at the same time. The maximum filter frequency for an input
signal is 50 kHz.
The counter supports the following input K, M, R scale factors:
• “K” used for range scaling; programmable for each channel. ( Count = Raw count / K )
• “M” used for meter calibration. ( Count = raw count * M / 10,000, Rate = raw rate * M/10,000 )
• “R” used to scale the rate output. ( Rate = Raw Rate / R * M/10,000 )
In counter mode, the module updates normal at 1 ms/channel. The counter accumulator output is available in
two ranges. The maximum count total for the normal range is 65 K. The extended range uses two data words per
channel and counts up to 16 M.

• For UL and CUL compliance, power and input/output wiring must be in accordance with Class 1,
Division 2 wiring methods (Article 501-4(b) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70) and in
accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
• Channels are isolated from one another.
• Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as possible from sources of electrical noise,
such as motors, transformers, contactors, and ac devices. As a general rule, allow at least 15.2 cm (6
in.) of separation for every 120V of power.
17
Quantum Series 140 MPM 204 00sc
• Routing field wiring in a grounded conduit can reduce electrical noise.
• If field wiring must cross AC or power cables, ensure that they cross at right angles.
• If multiple power supplies are used with analog inputs, the power supply commons must be connected.
• To ensure optimal accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping a cable as short as possible.
Locate the module as close to input devices as the application permits.
• Tighten terminal screws with care. Excessive tightening can strip a screw.
• The module is generally mounted to a well grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Additional grounding connections from the module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not
required unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded. Keep shield connection to ground as short as
possible.
• Under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction should be connected to earth ground, via a
panel or mounting screw at the module end. Refer to IEEE Std. 518, Section 6.4.2.7 or contact the
sensor manufacturer for additional details.
• For field wiring, use shielded, twisted-pair cable, and ground each cable’s shield wire at one end only.
At the opposite end of each cable, tape the exposed shield wire to insulate it from electrical contact. A
good shield wire ground is a rack assembly mounting bolt or stud.
• In the process of wiring the modules, route all signal wires as far as possible from potential sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, etc. (especially AC devices).
• If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of the cable. (You can only ground one
end at a time.)

Version 2.1 of Concept introduced a tool for importing Modconnect module definition files into the Concept
database. This allows you to configure Modconnect I/O. However, Concept 2.1 does not provide a means for
you to design your own I/O configuration menus. Instead, Concept provides a generic interface in which you
must enter configuration parameters in hexadecimal values. To save you the trouble of calculating the correct
hexadecimal values for configuration parameters, Spectrum provides the SCIOCFG utility.
SCIOCFG presents user-friendly selection lists using standard Windows interfaces. The utility automatically
constrains all parameters to legal values during the data entry process. You can run the utility in standalone mode
or synchronous mode. In standalone mode, you will configure module data as desired. SCIOCFG then presents
the parameters in hexadecimal values so that you can manually transfer this data to Concept at a later time.

In the synchronous mode, SCIOCFG runs in the background waiting for you to select the module in the
Concept generic I/O parameter configuration menu. When this occurs, SCIOCFG reads the data from the
Concept generic I/O parameter configuration menu, and activates the appropriate I/O parameter configuration
menu. When you click the SCIOCFG OK button, the new data is sent to Concept.

One parameter (zoom) register is assigned to each input channel, for a total of eight registers. Note that some
data needs to be the same for channel pairs. For example, quadrature mode must be selected on two adjacent
channels, since quadrature inputs use two channels. Also, the input range is controlled with one multiplexer for
an input pair. Thus each channel pair must have the same input range.
For zoom registers, you can make bit settings from either ModSoft or Concept software. This section first
describes the layout of the register and then tells how to set the bits from both programs.

These bits select one of the four available input ranges: 5V, 12V, 24V and AC. Select the
range that is closest to the maximum amplitude of your device signal. For example: If your flow
meter has a peak signal amplitude of 20 volts, select the 24V input range. Each range selection
determines the counter trip level. Matching the input range to your signal amplitude will miximize

These bits determine which Parameter Value is being prepared for programming into EEPROM.
These bits are used in conjunction with the Channel Number selection, Bit 6-8, to determine the
scale factors for a specific channel.
The actual parameter value is defined in register 4X+1.
Due to the limited register availability of the Quantum Platform, the scale and limit factors are
multiplexed onto register 4X+1. Changing these values will generally occur either at power-up or
line changeover. On power up, scale factors default to the values stored in EEPROM and the count
limit values (preset) default to zero.
These values can be altered during operation, but if the new power up default values are desired, the values must be programmed into the EEPROM by using the Programm EEPROM setting,
Bit 2.

Asserting this bit places the parameter that is currently in to 4x+1 register into EEPROM. After
the value has been programmed the module will retain the value even if power is removed. It is
recommended that you programm all scaling factors first and then write them to EERPROM. This is
faster and will prolong the life of the EEPROM.

If the customer desires to update the K, M, R, or rate limit values the enable scale/limit word
bit must be set. The default values for all of these scaling and limit words is initially 0. Programming these values in EEPROM so that the values will need to be stored only once. The module will

In Program Mode the data value in this register is used for scaling. The Scale data can be
stored in EEPROM. To store the scale data in EEPROM valid data must be place into this data
register. When the Program EEPROM bit toggles from a zero to a one, data in the Scale Register
will be written into the modules EEPROM. The M scale factor is used for meter calibration. When
a non-zero Scale Factor value is set the scale calculation is always performed. A value of zero must
be written to the Scale Factor to disable this feature.
The M factor value expressed as a 16 bit unsigned integer divided by 10,000. This value is
multiplied by the counter actual count value, and gives the M factor a range of 0.0001 to 6.5535
Most M factors will be within +- 5% of 1.0000.

This counter value is divided by the K factor. K factors are be positive numbers.

When this bit is enabled, the module will perform pulse fidelity monitoring of an input channel
pair. The bit needs to be set on both channels being monitored. For example both channels 1 and 2
must have this bit set to do pulse fidelity monitoring on channels 1 and 2. Both channels must have
the same configuration settings, such as input range, for pulse fidelity to be performed. If they do
not, then a configuration error will be set.

Setting bit 11 to 0 latches the normal state of the flags until they are reset. This allows the
ladder logic program to monitor the state of the flags and reset them (to 1) as needed when parameter
settings change. Setting bit 11 to 1 reports the counter flags to the PLC for one scan cycle, and then
resets them automatically. If the maximum, limit, or zero condition still exists, the module sets the
flags back to 1 on the next update cycle.

NOTE: You can use bit 11 to reset the reset flags as a counter value passes through a maxi-

when the count exceeds 10,000. The next count value transferred to the rack might be 10,050. The
status register will have the counter maximum range flag set for this transfer of counter data.

When this bit is reset to “0” the frequency detection circuit operates in “Instant” mode. Instant
mode times the period of a single input transition from one rising edge to the next rising edge of an
input signal. Instant measurements are fast, in that they calculate a frequency based on one cycle.
However the accuracy of the measurement degrades as the input clock frequency goes up to 50KHz,
and any jitter within one cycle will be measured.
When the frequency mode bit is set to a “1” the frequency detection circuit is in “Average”
mode. Average mode counts the number of input transitions over a 1 second interval and calculates
the input frequency averaged over the 1-second interval. The average mode is slow, in that it reports
updated frequency rates once per second. However this mode is accurate to +- 1 count over the full
range of measurement.

Meter Proving Module
The process for updating the scale coefficients and the count limits is as follows:
1. Set the Scale/Limit Word to its desired value (4x+1 register). This must be performed before
updating the module control word.
2. Set the following bits on the module control word (register 4X+0) to the appropriate state for
the value to be written:
a. Channel Number
b. Parameter Definition
c. Enable Scale/Limit Word (set to 1)
Note: This bit can be set at the same time as the channel number and parameter definition, but
not earlier.
3. Read Module Status word (Register 3X+8) and verify the Enable Scale/Limit Word bit is set.
This verifies the module has received the control word update.
4. Set the Enable Scale/Limit Word bit to 0.
5. Update other Scale/Limit values by redoing steps 1 through 7.
To store K, M, and R values into the EEPROM perform the following:
1. Set the Program EEPROM bit (bit 2) in the Control Word (Register 4X+0).
2. Read Module Status word (Register 3X+0) and verify the Program EEPROM Echo(bit 2) is
set. This verifies the module has received the control word update.
3. Verify the Program EEPROM Echo bit has been set in the Module Status Word.
4. Zero the Program EEPROM bit and the Enable Scale/Limit Word bits in the Module Control
Wor d.

This bit indicates whether the meter-proving run has finished or not. When the Meter proving
bit (Gate enable on the control register) gets set, the meter proving process will begin. This consists
of counting the number of pulses from the first ball detector pulse till the second ball detector pulse.
When the second ball detector pulse is detected, the proving run is complete and this bit will be set.
Meter proving data is now ready to be read from the 3X registers.

When pulse fidelity checking is enabled, this bit will annunciate whether a count error has
occurred. The error detector continuously samples the input signal. A count difference between the
two channels of 3 or more will result in a count error. Software reads of channel pairs are synchronized so that ladder logic will read both values taken simultaneously. Thus ladder logic can ignore
this bit and set its own error limit. This fault is not latched. It persists only as long as the actual

Sample Configuration
Using the Meter Proving Inputs
A ball proving system would use the meter proving input found on the module. The ball meaures the
flow velocity over a fixed length of line. When the ball crosses the starting point a momentary high
signal from a proximity switch starts the counter. When the ball crosses the prover exit another
proximity switch triggers causing the counter to stop. During the movement of the displacer the
meter count is monitored. Once complete the transit time is compared to the meter count. Any
difference in these values may be used to adjust the calibration (M factor) of the flowmeter.
The Meter Proving Inputs are designed for use with typical meter proving applications. These inputs
differ from the hardware inhibit/trigger inputs in the way the start and stop the counter.
Inhibit / Trigger Line
Meter Proving Input
The inhibit trigger line turns the counter on and off by holding the logic signal high or low. The
Meter Proving Input starts counter operation by applying a momentary high logic level signal
(pulse). The counter is stopped by applying another momentary high logic level signal (pulse).
Utilizing the meter proving input to start and stop count functions enables the user to count
pulses as fast as 20 microseconds to an accuracy of 1 count.
Here is an example wave form representing the start and stop transitions on the external gate
enable, and the associated pulses that the module would accumulate:
Given the above wave form, the module will begin counting the first positive going input pulse
after the external enable input goes low. The module will accumulate 4 counts in the channel count
register and stop when the external enable input goes high. The external enable line accommodates
5 Vdc, 12 Vdc and 24 Vdc signals and is pulled low internally.

Safety CircuitsSafety Circuits
Circuits installed on the equipment for safety reasons, such as over-travel limit switches, stop pushbuttons,
and interlocks, should always be hard-wired to the master control relay. These devices must be wired in series
so that, when any one device opens, the master control relay is de-energized, thus removing power to the
equipment. Never alter these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or machine damage can result.

Internal DiagnosticsInternal Diagnostics
Internal Diagnostics
Internal DiagnosticsInternal Diagnostics
The module performs internal diagnostics at both the module and channel levels of operation. When
detected, module error conditions are immediately indicated by the ready (module status) LED. Channel
errors are reported at their respective LEDs.
The module reports error conditions to the PLC. Channel error conditions are reported in the module’s input
data table. Module hardware errors are typically reported in the PLC I/O status file. Refer to your controller
manual for details.
When a fault condition is detected, the PLC sets analog outputs to zero. The data in the output data file is
retained during the fault. Once the fault condition is corrected and the major fault bit in the controller is
cleared, the retained data is sent.

GlossaryGlossary
Glossary
GlossaryGlossary
The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this manual.
A/D converter – The analog-to-digital converter used in the module. The converter produces a digital value
with a magnitude that is proportional to the magnitude of an analog input signal.
attenuation – Reduction in the magnitude of a signal as it passes through a system.
bus connector – A 16-pin male and female connector that provides electrical interconnection among modules in
a controller system.
channel – Analog input interface available on the terminal block of a module. Each channel is configured for
connection to an input device, and has its own configuration and image input data words.
channel update time – The time required for the module to sample and convert the input signals of one
enabled input channel and update the data word.
common mode voltage – Voltage difference between the negative terminal and analog common during normal
differential operation.
common mode voltage range – For analog inputs, the largest voltage difference allowed between either the
positive or negative terminal and analog common during normal differential operation.
configuration word – Word containing the channel configuration information needed by the module to set up
and operate each channel.
cutoff frequency – The frequency at which the input signal is attenuated 3 dB by a digital filter. Frequency
components of the input signal that are below the cutoff frequency are passed with under 3 dB of attenuation
for low-pass filters.
data word – A 16-bit integer that represents the value of an input channel. The data word is valid only when the
channel is enabled and there are no channel errors. When the channel is disabled, the channel data word is
cleared (set to 0).
digital filter – A low-pass noise filter incorporated into an A/D converter. The filter provides high-rejection
notches at frequencies that are integral multiples of the filter cutoff frequency. The notches are used for rejecting
AC power line noise and higher frequency noise.
effective resolution – The number of bits in a channel configuration word that do not vary due to noise.
filter frequency – User-selectable frequency for a digital filter.
full scale – The magnitude of input over which normal operation is permitted.
gain drift – Change in full-scale transition voltage measured over the operating temperature range of the module.
65
Quantum Series 140 MPM 204 00sc
input data scaling – Data scaling that depends on the data format selected for a channel configuration word.
LSW – Least significant word.
module update time – The time required for the module to sample and convert the input signals of all enabled
input channels and make the resulting data values available to the processor.
MSW – Most significant word.
multiplexer – A switching system that allows several input signals to share a common A/D converter.
normal operating range – Configured range for input signals.
overall accuracy – The worst-case deviation of the digital representation of the input signal from the ideal over
the full input range. Overall accuracy is expressed in percent of full scale.
sampling time – The time required by an A/D converter to sample an input channel.
