2 Product Description

2.1 Introduction

The Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter is used to measure the steam quality. It is a combination of two-meter, i.e., modified Vortex and Cone DP Meter. This hybrid system is based on the Boden principle, which gives the mass flow, volume flow, and fluid density outputs. The correlation between density and non-density sensitive metering removes the actual dependency of density in steam measurement. The hybrid system provides actual homogeneous density and volume measurement, which offer 100% steam quality in steam measurement. The density and volume measurements are used to calculate the total mass value. Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter can have the DP meter verification system prognosis applied, which provides reliable steam quality (steam dryness) measurement. It is a unique, cost-effective, and highly capable system.

2.2 Measuring Principle

The Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter with a single-phase flow, a Vortex Meter measures the actual volumetric flow rate (Q). The Vortex Meter reads the vortex shedding frequency of the bluff body (f) and relates it through the meter factor (K) to the volume flow rate (Q), as shown in equation 1. This volumetric flow rate measurement is density insensitive.
f
Q =
With a single-phase flow, a differential pressure (DP) flow meter measures the volumetric flow rate once the density is supplied from an external source. The DP meter volume flow rate

calculation is density (ρ) sensitive. Equation 2 shows the Cone DP Meter volumetric flow equation, where E and At are fixed geometry terms, Cd is the discharge coefficient, and ΔPt is the Cone DP Meter primary signal.

Q = EAC
As described by Boden’s work in the 1950’s, if a density sensitive meter (Cone DP Meter) is cross referenced with a density insensitive meter (Vortex Meter) the density can be derived internally by the system as shown in equation 3.
K
= 2P
The Tek-CoVor 1300D flow rate calculation is now calculated through equation 4, where the vortex meter volumetric flow prediction (Q) and this internal density prediction (ρ) are used. No external density measurement is required.

5.1.1 External Analog Connection to DP meters

As an option, DP meters may be connected through analog 4-20mA input. There are two options of external analog connections:
• Using the External Input Board in the Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter, the board must
be installed accordingly in the stack and firmware of the micro-board re-flashed. Additionally, External input must be calibrated using standard factory production procedures or external calibration input of 4 and 20mA. In this option, only DP1 can be connected. DP meter must be powered from an external power supply or the same power supply used to power the PoE. Analog 4 to 20mA output of DP should be connected to input pin 3 (-) and pin 4 (+) of Options2 connector. (pins a counted from left to right). Schematic will be provided later.
• Using external 8 channel ADC ADAM-4 117. ADC must be configured for 4-20 mA input on
channels 0,2 and 2. Internal switches must be set in ADC for current measurements (in as­shipped configuration, these jumpers are in voltage configuration). Although all three DPs can be connected, only DP1 is used for quality calculations. ADC is read by the PoE RS485 link. It used default ADC settings of 9600 Baud, 1 stop, no parity. ADC must be configured to communicate Modbus/RTU and use address = 2.

Use the Diagnostics Menu to simulate operation and review the system files. The system log files contain time/date stamped messages including: power on, power off, programming time outs, parameter faults, incorrect password entry and other various information relative to system operation and programming. The simulated inputs are for testing the meter to verify that the programming is correct. They are also used to enter nominal operating temperature and pressure for the V only model. Simulated vortex frequency allows you to enter any value for the sensor input in Hz. The meter will calculate a flow rate based on the corresponding value and update all analog outputs (the totalizer display and output is not affected by a simulated frequency). The simulated pressure and temperature settings work the same way. The meter will output these new values and will use them to calculate a new density for mass flow measurement. Note: when your diagnostic work is complete, make

Tek-CoVor 1300D
sure to return the values to zero to allow the electronics to use the actual transducer values. For the V only model keep the temperature and pressure at nominal operating conditions. If the meter display indicates a temperature or pressure fault, a substitute value can be entered to allow flow calculations to continue at a fixed value until the source of the fault is identified and corrected. The units of measure of the displayed values are the same as the units configured for the flow meter.
The Calibration Menu contains the calibration coefficients for the flow meter. These values should by changed only by properly trained personnel. The Coef Ck and Low Flow Cutoff are set at the factory. Consult the factory for help with these settings if the meter is showing erratic flow rate.

6 Network Configuration

The Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter needs to be configured to be "visible" on your local network. There are two methods of configuration:
• using static IP address
• using dynamically assigned IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
For static configuration ask your network administrator which IP address to use. For industrial automation applications the preferable method is using static IP address.

6.1 IPSetup Network Configuration Tool

IPSetup is used to configure network settings on your device such as IP Address, Mask, Gateway, DNS Server. IPSetup uses a UDP broadcast on port 20034 to identify network devices when activated within your system. Routers do not forward UDP transmissions. Therefore, IPSetup can only be used on a local area network or the direct link. You need to run it on a PC connected to the same switch as your device. This is related to configuration only. IPSetup is commonly used for:
• Determining the DHCP assigned IP address of your device.
• Configuring the network settings of your device.
IPSetup can be downloaded from the file system or we can provide on USB flash drive. It can be run on any Windows or Linux machine under Windows emulator WINE.

Instruction Manual
Tech nology S olutions
34
Tek-CoVor 1300D
Fig 9: IPSetup Network Configuration

6.1.1 Using IPSetup

To configure a device with IPSetup steps are the following:
• The device must be on the same local area network or be a direct connection to your PC.
• Your PC's firewall must allow network traffic on port number 20034. If you do not see your
device, then temporarily disabling your firewall first to see if that is the cause.
• Click on a device in the "Select a Unit" window.
• Enter your configuration settings in the "NDK Settings" group.
• An IP address of 0.0.0.0 instructs your device to use DHCP.
• Once you have specified all your configuration settings, click on the "Set" button to
transmit them to your device.
• The DHCP assigned address or static IP address will appear in the description next to each
device in selecting a unit window.

6.1.2 IPSetup Does Not Display Your Device

If IPSetup does not display your system, this is one of the following reasons:
• A firewall on your PC is blocking the network port number 20034. Try to disable your firewall
temporarily to see if this is the cause.
• You are trying to talk to a device on the other side of a router. The PC and device must be
on the same LAN.

6.1.3 IPSetup FAQ

• Setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 forced the application to use DHCP instead of a static
address.
• IPSetup shows the name of the application, as shown in figure 10. The name is composed of
the last 4 HEX digits of the unit's MAC address, for example - E46B. This default Unit name is set as the so-called NetBios name. You may access the Unit by this name by typing it in the WEB browser's address field, like http://E46B. This name may be changed on the Configuration page of Unit's WEB Page.

Tek-CoVor 1300D
• Besides IP, Network Mask, Gateway and DNS, do not change any other parameters, such as
UART, delay, baud rate, etc.
• Gateway is necessary if you plan to access devices from the Internet or other subnets of your
local network. It is recommended to provide the correct Gateway address. DNS is necessary only if access to the Internet is needed for the device in the case, for example, accessing Network Time Servers (not enabled in the current version of firmware). It may be set as
0.0.0.0.
• This configuration needs to be done only once at initial commissioning on the customer's
network.
• The static configuration could be done with a direct connection with Ethernet crossover
cable to your PC.

7 Meter Web Pages

The Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter has an internal WEB server to provide real-time measurement information and configuration interface. The Tek-CoVor 1300D Steam Quality Meter supports two protocols for accessing the WEB pages as follows:
• HTTP - insecure connection to TCP port 80
• HTTPS - secure connection to configuration pages on TCP port 443
It is possible to connect to all pages using HTTPS instead of HTTP. The assumption is that measurement data does not need to be secure, while configuration must always be encrypted.

7.1 Main Web Page

Fig 11: Main WEB Page
The main WEB page shows the menu on the left. When powered up the meter, it scans for connected meters first. This version is intended for master/slave configuration with multiple meters connected to a single gateway. Typically, this Slave Address selector is not used and there is always only one selection possible.

7.2 Steam Web Page

The main page for Steam Quality Meter is invoked by the menu link "STEAM". This page shows readings from three Differential Pressure meters, i.e., DP1, DP2 and DP3. Only DP1 readings are essential for steam quality calculations. The meter scans the HART line for the presence of DP meters. In this table also shown variables read from Vortex Meter. The same values may be monitored on the FLOW page. All the steam values use fixed units. The units of all other Vortex values can be configured. The page is automatically refreshed every 4 seconds. The calculations of steam values are done at about the same time interval.

8.1 Configuration Options

The format of this form depends on version of PoE firmware: steam, standard PoE, Prognosis, etc.
Fig 22: Configuration Options
Configuration Options allow you to select between different configurations. These are just bits set in 32 bits configuration word. All settings are retained between power cycles. Bits 1,2 and 4 are not used in Steam. Bit 16 (0x10) is selecting using of external analog DP read by Input board in Tek-Trol. Bit 32 (0x20) - selects using external ADAM ADC as 4-20 mA inputs for DP1 to DP3. Value DP1 to 3 Averaging setts number of counts to average. The main Steam page shows instant and averaged values of DPs as well as calculated values. DP1 to 3 ADC Scale and Offset set scale and offset accordingly of ADAM ADC measurements. The calculated values used as DP input = adc*scale/0xffff + offset. ADC is 16-bit value between 0 for 4mA input and 65535 (0xffff) for 20mA input. So, to scale O to 1 00 inH2O of DP meters use scale = 100 and offset = 0. To read actual 4-20 mA current used scale= 16 and offset=4.

9 Connection to meter from the Internet and Security Issues

Typically, your meter is connected to your Local Area Network (LAN) with non-routable Private Network Address ( I 92.1 68.xx.xx, 1 0.xx.xx.xx, 1 72.1 6-31 .xx.xx). For connection to the meter from anywhere on the Internet, two methods may be used:
• Connect through Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• Port Forwarding Technique
In case of VPN, your home PC is becoming part of your corporate network and you getting access to all resources on your corporate LAN. Usually, your home PC is assigned the IP address from the
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Page 45
Instruction Manual
Tech nology S olutions
44
Tek-CoVor 1300D
different subnet that your meter and, therefore IPSetup program will not work. You need to know the IP address of the meter to connect. Contact your IT department about the availability of VPN and connection instructions. The second method is configuring the corporate firewall in such a way that you are getting access to particular internal (LAN) IP by mapping it to your external corporate gateway IP and port number. This is usually done by mapping like following. Assuming your corporate gateway is 50.202. 79. 132 and your meter IP on LAN is 10. 10. 1 0.75.
Example of port forwarding: External IP 50.202.79.132 Port 8080 ==>mapped to==> 10.10.10.75 Port 80 External IP 50.202.79.132 Port 10502 ==>mapped to==> 10.10.10.75 Port 502 External IP 50.202.79.132 Port 10443 ===>mapped to==> 10.10.10.75 Port 443
Your IT should know how to do such configuration in corporate routers. All you need is to provide information to IT on used network ports: TCP port 80 Non secure access to main WEB pages. Read only. Protocol HTTP.
It is also possible to access meter using only secure connection via Port 443.
TCP port 443 Secure encrypted access to configuration pages. Protocol HTTPS, SSL.
Encryption 128 bit - does not require Export licensing.
User/password protected (secure) TCP port 502 Access by automation software to Modbus/TCP server. Protocol Modbus/TCP Optional: TCP ports 20,21 Access to internal FTP server. Protocol FTP. User/password protected (insecure) UDP port 20034 Broadcast discover protocol. Used to find units on the local Network. It is not routable and therefore works only within the same subnet.
Used by IPSetup ( discover/IP config) and Auto Update (flash) programs.
Auto Update works across Ethernet switches. It uses UDP with direct address.
It may be blocked by most routers.
TCP port 20034 Firmware update using TcpUpdate utility. (Not enabled in Rev 1.0 of firmware).
All corporate gateways which are more advanced than simple "home" routers can provide additional security-enhancing measures, like using "sourcing" addresses allowing access only from certain individual IPs or networks. If security concerns are high, you may limit access to the meter using encrypted protocol only: port 443, https. On special request, Tek-Trol can add the special capability of Access Control List (ACL) to insecure by definition Modbus protocol. Using ACL users may define a number of hosts or networks from which connection to Modbus port 502 can be accepted. Normally this function can be implemented in a corporate firewall. ACL in the meter may be needed when it is exposed to the Internet directly. General information about Port Forwarding and instructions on how to set it up in simple home routers available everywhere.

Fig 24: MBGUI. EXE Simple Modbus/TCP client
• Figure 24 shows the simple Modbus/TCP client configured for use with the meter. The
names and locations of registers are stored in the mbgui.ini file.
• This file is created at startup and contains default definitions. The structure of the
application uses the following approach accepted for meters supporting Modbus/RTU.
• All registers are grouped by data types: float, long, etc. Two groups of registers 0 contain
most of the real-time data and Group 200 has steam-related data that can be viewed on a timer once in two seconds on the left panel.
• Selecting a group in the "Read Group" selector will show it in the right forum.
• You can rename the application to something more meaningful to you (please avoid spaces
in the program name). In this case, it will rename as per the INI file. By this, you may create several clients for different meters.
• This application is compiled to run on the Windows machine. It also can be run on Linux or
MAC machine with 586 architecture under Windows emulator WINE. (MAC case was not tested).
• Button "Read Configuration" read all configuration-related registers and shows them on
the right panel. You can save it to a file by clicking the "Save File" button.
• Later you can load this or other saved configuration file and force it to the unit to
reconfigure it. Before pushing the file to the unit, you may edit it and leave only the registers you want to change. Please, be careful using this option.

10.3 Console Modbus/TCP client MBUS. EXE

• It can be used for creating automation scripts in any scripting language, such as bash, Lab
View, MATLAB, DOS batch, etc.
• Open in DOS window directory where you put the executable MB US.EXE.
Fig 25:DOS Window Directory
• There is minimal help shown by command:MBUS.EXE-h
• It can read arbitrary Modbus registers. The only limitation is that it supports only "classic" order
of bytes in16 bit registers: big endian. Example:
Fig 26: MBUS.EXE-h Command in Dos Window 1
• Read first 6 registers from group 0 and display as Float. Each "f' in first example corresponds
for each read register or register pair for float. "fff' may be replaced by "f3"
• Switch "-I" telling that float format is inverted: MSW coming first. This option should always be
used with the Meter.
• Line 3 reads 4 short integer registers from reg number 1002 and output as 16 bit integer.
• For debug purposes during integration you may format output as HEX.

• Each line describes a group of Dummy registers in Modbus regs 9000 to 9999.
• In each line, offset is the position of the group in 9000 registers.
• Number of items used as registers in case of 16-bit values or a pair of registers in Long and
Float formats.
• The format is one character specifying fo1mat of items in the group:
o i 16 bit signed integer o ɪ 16 bit unsigned integer o l 32 bit signed integer o L 32 bit unsigned integer o f 32 bit floating-point values
• Customers may write into these registers with Function code 16 and read with function codes
3 and 4.
• Contents of registers are not retained at cycling the power. The registers in Log file are named
as Mxxx for “i” format, MxxxL for “l” format and Mxxxf for “f” format. Where xxx is register offset from 10000.
• All Dummy registers are in the "reversed" format. The most significant word (MSW) is coming
first.
• Min BM89K log selector. If checked it will log Dummy Registers 9000 according to format
specifiers entered in M9K configuration area.

11.2 Other methods of retrieving log files

11.2.1 WGET

• Retrieving log files could be automated using Internet-standard utility WGET. This utility
readily available on Linux machines and for Windows can be downloaded from here:
• https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ or install Linux simulator on Windows WinBash,
which also contains WGET: http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/
• To read daily file for a specific date, use the following WGET command: WGET
http://10.10.10.79/LOGS/2016/05/160527.CSV (where first 2 digits -year, next -month, next day). This instruction will download daily log file for date: 05/27/2016

11.2.2 FTP

• The meter has the capability of accessing the file system on the SD card via FTP protocol.
• For that, you may use any specialized FTP client or even File browser on Linux or Windows
systems.
• In Windows Explorer, enter in address field ftp://10.10.10.79 or whatever is your meter's IP.
• You may be asked the first time for the Username and Password. Use Username: "owner"
and Password: "16363".
• You will get almost full access to the file system on the SD card. You may copy files, delete
files and directories. Creating directories is not allowed.
Fig 35: Data Log by FTP
• FTP access may be automated with mentioned above WGET application. The string to query
single file is the following: WGET ftp://owner: 16363@10.10.10.79/LOGS/2016/05/160527 .CSV
*Note how to supply username and password when accessing via FTP.
NOTE
wrong directories created due to misread real-time Clock of the meter.
