Static precautions Some parts of the instrument (such as circuit boards) may be damaged by static electricity. Therefore, when carrying out any work which involves the risk of static damage to the instrument, the instructions show the following notice:

While carrying out this procedure you must wear an earthed wrist strap at all times to protect the instrument against static shock.

At such times you must wear an earthed wrist-strap to protect the instrument.

Safety information NOTE: This information applies only to those instruments which are mains-powered. Electricity is dangerous and you risk injury or death if you do not disconnect the power supplies before carrying out some of the procedures given in this manual. Whenever there is such a hazard, the instructions show a notice similar to the following: Electricity is dangerous and can kill. Disconnect all power supplies before proceeding.

You must heed any such warnings and make sure that, before you go any further: x All power leads are un-powered. x All power leads are disconnected from the equipment which you are working on unless the instructions tell you otherwise. x You obey any other common-sense precautions which may apply to your situation. If you obey these sensible precautions you can work on the equipment in complete safety.

Battery-backed Memory notice x 7950 and 7950 models manufactured since July 1998 feature an increased amount of battery-backed memory. The PCB Number and Status Number associated with this enhancement are as follows:79500502L (Status ‘L’ or later): 79500502G (Status ‘G’ or later): x As a result of that memory increase, it is essential that the Lithium Cell used for the battery backup is installed at all times (other than during replacement). 7950/7951 units will not power-up correctly if this battery is missing. (7955 and 7952 models are not affected) If it is necessary to run the units without batteries for Intrinsic Safety reasons, then the battery should be replaced with a shorting disk inserted in the battery holder. Please consult Mobrey for further advice. x Replace the battery when the "Low Battery" system alarm is indicated. The procedure is explained in this manual. (See Chapter 14)

Chapter 1 About this manual

1. About this manual 1.1 What this manual tells you This manual tells you how to install, configure, operate and service the instrument. In addition, some information is given to help you identify and correct some of the more common faults which may occur. However, since repairs are done by changing suspected faulty assemblies, fault-finding to board component level is not covered. This manual assumes that all devices or peripherals to be connected to the 795x have their own documentation which tells you how to install and configure them. For this reason it is assumed that anything which you want to link to the 795x is already installed and working correctly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Since the instrument can be used for a wide variety of purposes, it is driven by software specially for your application. This manual gives information about the software which applies to your machine only. Throughout this manual the term '795x' is used to refer to all members of the 795x family (7950, 7951 and 7955).

1.2 Who should use this manual This manual is for anyone who installs, uses, services or repairs the 795x.

1.3 Software version covered by this manual The software version dealt with in this manual is given on the title page. Chapter 3 tells you how to find out what software is installed in your instrument.

Chapter 2 Getting started

2. Getting started 2.1 What this Chapter tells you This Chapter shows how to: x

Connect different types of instrumentation to a 7950.

x

Set the DIP switches in the 7950.

x

Select the appropriate software Wizard to configure the 7950.

2.2 How to use this Chapter This Chapter is designed to introduce the various types of inputs and outputs that the 7950 can support. Each type of connection (i.e. input-only or output-only) is represented by an easy to follow, self-contained worked example. Try one example at a time. After working through the examples that are appropriate, use the information in Chapter 3 to plan connections and then implement them in conjunction with the subsequent installation chapter.

Important Warnings!! 1. The 795X series is not intrinsically safe and, therefore, can only be used in officially designated safe (non-hazardous) areas. 2. All examples of connections in this manual are designed to be attempted in a non-hazardous area. 3. Hazardous area considerations are outside the scope of this manual. Always refer to installation documentation supplied by the manufacturer for their instrumentation.

Examples are organised as follows: x

Section 2.3 - for 7950 Inputs only

x

Section 2.4 - for 7950 Outputs only

Each worked example has a comprehensive set of instructions to establish a successful physical connection. Instructions also show how to select the correct software Wizard. Some types of connection require DIP switches to be set. These switches are located on the Connector Board and are accessible after removing the Terminal Cover (See Chapter 14). There is a block of four switches for deciding which of the first four Analogue Inputs will accept mA signals and which will accept PRT signals. The other block features one switch for selecting whether the ‘turbine power’ pins will provide either 8V or 16V from the 7950 isolated supply. Worked examples will always explain when there is a need to set a DIP switch. Note: x

DIP switches which are not shown in the diagrams have no effect on the field transmitter shown.

x

Where a field transmitter can be connected to more than one analogue input, the DIP switch setting depends on which input you have used.

Other sections in this chapter are as follows: x

Section 2.5 lists chapters that deal with connections that are more complex. (Page 2.23)

x

Section 2.6 contains 7950 pin designation lists for various hardware configurations. (Page 2.23)

Chapter 2 Getting started

2.3.2 Turbine (pulse) flowmeter inputs Support is provided for wiring 1 flowmeter to the 7950: x

A 7950 can accept either single or dual pulse signal trains from each flowmeter. There are r signal pins for each pulse train.

x

Flowmeters can be powered by the turbine power supply pins on the 7950. These power pins are an isolated supply source - 8V or 16V (selectable by a DIP switch on the power supply board). The selected voltage applies to all turbine power pins.

Example: 1 turbine (pulse) flowmeter with dual pulse train outputs Follow these instructions to work through the example: Turn off the power

1. Ensure that the 7950 is NOT powered up.

Set DIP switch

2. Select the voltage, 8V or 16V, that is required by all the turbine flowmeters. This diagram shows the 8V selection:

(only if powering the flowmeter using the 795X isolated power source) Connect the flowmeter to the 7950

16V

8V

3. Wire the flowmeter terminals to the 7950. Refer to Table 2.3.1 for a list of applicable pins for this connection. Notice that each flowmeter terminal (wire) in the diagram below has a function label. The label identifies the appropriate pin in two groups of pins.

Chapter 2 Getting started

2.3.3 Orifice flowmeter inputs Loop powered differential pressure cells can use any of the analogue inputs on the 7950. There are four analogue inputs on a 7950 without an option board fitted. Appendix ‘C’ has a list of option boards that provide extra mA-type analogue inputs. The maximum number of DP cells supported by the application software is indicated in Chapter 3. For the purpose of the example below, 2 DP cells are used.

IMPORTANT NOTICE There are complete pin designation lists at the end of this Chapter. Note that the r signal pins of analogue inputs 1 Ö 4 are labelled with the term “PRT”. These particular pins have a dual role - PRT or mA. Setting a DIP switch (belonging to an analogue input) will determine the function. Care is needed when preparing to use any of the first four analogue inputs with a loop powered (0-20mA or 4-20mA) field transmitters: x

Ensure that the DIP switch on the processor board is set for mA (per analogue input used)

x

Ensure that only the analogue power pins are used. The reason for this is that PRT power is only applied when a measurement is required and, therefore, not suitable for loop powered mA devices.

Example: Two cells connected to analogue inputs 1 and 2. Cells are powered by 7950 (24V isolated supply). Follow these instructions to work through the example: Turn off the power

1. Ensure that the 7950 is NOT powered up.

Set DIP switches as shown on page below

2. Ensure that the DIP switch for analogue input 1 is set for mA. (See Figure 2.3.2)

Connect the first Differential Pressure cell

3. Ensure that the DIP switch for analogue input 2 is set for mA. (See Figure 2.3.2) 4. Wire the first cell to Analogue Input ‘1’ Loop-powered 4-20mA differential pressure transmitter + -

2.3.6 mA-type temperature transmitter Loop powered temperature transmitters can use any of the analogue inputs on the 7950. There are 4 analogue inputs on a 7950 without an option board fitted. Appendix ‘C’ has a list of option boards that provide extra mA-type analogue inputs. The maximum number of temperature transmitters supported by the application software is indicated in Chapter 3. For the purpose of the example below, 2 transmitters are used.

IMPORTANT NOTICE There are complete pin designation lists at the end of this Chapter. Note that the r signal pins of analogue inputs 1 Ö 4 are labelled with the term “PRT”. These particular pins have a dual role - PRT or mA. Setting a DIP switch (belonging to an analogue input) will determine the function. Care is needed when preparing to use any of the first four analogue inputs with a loop powered (0-20mA or 4-20mA) field transmitters: x

Ensure that the DIP switch on the processor board is set for mA (per analogue input used)

x

Ensure that only the analogue power pins are used. The reason for this is that PRT power is only applied when a measurement is required and, therefore, not suitable for loop powered mA devices.

Example: 1 loop powered temperature transmitter connected to analogue input 3. It is powered by the 7950 (24V isolated supply). Follow these instructions to work through the example: Turn off the power

1. Ensure that the 7950 is NOT powered up

Chapter 3 About the 7950

3.3 Physical description of the 7950 The 7950 is a wall-mounted instrument housed in a one-piece case. The upper part of the instrument has a panel on which are mounted the keyboard and display. Below this, and stepped back slightly, is a terminal cover which, when removed allows access to the electrical connectors on the connector board inside the instrument. All wiring enters the case from underneath, through the gland plate which has to be drilled for the purpose. The connector board is mounted vertically inside the back of the case. The microprocessor board is attached, by six screws and stand-offs, to the back of the keyboard and display. The upper and lower parts of the instrument are separated by a horizontal metal plate (the screen) which helps to protect the instrument against electro-magnetic interference.

Chapter 4 Installing the system

4. Installing the system 4.1 What this Chapter tells you This chapter gives you full instructions for installing the 7950. It does not go into detail about how to install any peripheral devices (such as transducers, computers or printers) which can be connected to the 7950. For this information you must refer to the documentation supplied with these items.

4.2 Hazardous and non-hazardous environments If all or part of an installation is in an area where there is the risk of fire or explosion, then barriers usually have to be wired into the circuit. However, some instruments (such as the Covimat) are explosion-proof and barriers are not, therefore, needed. You must follow the manufacturers instructions and safety recommendations fully.

4.3 Installation procedure Briefly, the procedure is: Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule Step 2: Unpack the 7950 Step 3: Set the DIP switches Step 4: Fit the 7950 Step 5: Make all external connections Step 6: Earth the installation Step 7: Connect power supply The steps in the procedure are explained in the following sections.

4.4 Step 1: Drawing up a wiring schedule Before you make any connections, you must draw up a wiring schedule to help you identify wiring colours and make sure that you do not connect more items of any given type than you are allowed to. (If you are in doubt, check the specification in Appendix C.) A blank copy of a wiring schedule is given in Appendix B.

4.5 Step 2: Unpacking the instrument Remove the instrument from its packing and examine it to see if any items are loose or if it has been damaged in transit. Check that all items on the shipping list are present. If any items are missing or if the equipment is damaged, contact your supplier immediately for further advice. What should be supplied with the 7950:

7950 (CH04/CE)

x

Labels #1 - #20 for identifying the sockets

x

4-way free socket for DC input

x

3-way free socket for AC input

x

10-way free socket for I/O (13 off)

x

2 Amp and 1.25 Amp fuses (Note: these are spares)

x

An operating manual (this manual) Page 4.1

Chapter 4 Installing the system

Other items you must supply yourself: x

cable glands (if you want to use them)

x

fixings (such as screws and plugs) suitable for fixing the 7950 to a wall.

Note: If you have ordered optional, additional facilities (such as extra outputs) these are already installed in the machine.

4.6 Step 3: Setting DIP switches The 7950 is supplied with the DIP switches in these default settings: x

Turbine power:

8 VOLTS

x

Security switch:

NONSECURE

x

Input 1

PRT

x

Inputs 2-4:

4-20mA

Dip switches on the Connector Board

If you want to change these settings, do this as follows:: x

Security

The 7950 can work in a non-secure or securable mode. In non-secure mode, anyone can have access to the signal converter. In securable mode, access to many of the signal converter’s functions can be protected by a password. At this stage, setting the DIP switch only determines whether or not the instrument is capable of being protected because the actual setting of the security is carried out later when the instrument is configured.

x

PRT or analogue (420mA) inputs

There are four dip switches (one per channel) which determine whether the input to each channel is from a PRT or analogue (4-20mA) transmitter. Set each DIP switch as you require. Note:

You also have to configure the inputs. This is explained in Chapter 11.

When you have set the dip switches, replace the terminal plate. Note: The 7950 is always shipped from Mobrey with the security DIP switch set to non-secure.

Page 4.2

7950 (CH04/CE)

Chapter 4 Installing the system

4.7 Step 4: Fitting the 7950 Note:

You must not fit the 7950 where it may be subjected to extreme conditions or be liable to damage. The instrument is designed to comply with IP65 and Nema 4X standards. For further information about the environmental conditions within which it can operate, see Appendix C.

Mounting details for the 7950

1. Undo and remove the six screws which secure the gland plate to the underneath of the instrument. Remove the gland plate. 2. Drill whatever holes are required in the plate to allow the cables to enter the instrument. Do not replace the gland plate at this stage. 3. Drill a pilot hole in the wall. Then, using whatever fixings (such as wall plugs) are suitable for the type of wall, turn in a screw so that its head sticks out far enough so that the keyhole-shaped slot at the back of the case can fit over it. 4. Fit the instrument on the wall. 5. Undo the four screws and remove the terminal cover.

6. Mark through the two instrument mounting holes then take the instrument off the wall. 7. Drill holes for screws at the marked positions. The holes should be wide enough to take wall plugs if these are to be used. 8. If wall plugs are to be used, insert them into the holes. 9. Hang the instrument on the wall, insert the screws and tighten them sufficiently to hold the instrument in place. 10. Replace the terminal cover.

4.8 Step 5: Making the connections 1. Refer to the documentation supplied with the external equipment to see if you have to carry out any special procedures when connecting them to the 7950. Take special notice of any information about complying with EMC regulations. 2. Pass the cables through the holes in the gland plate then connect the sockets to the wiring using your schedule and the connection diagrams (in Chapter 2) to help you. 3. Check the wiring thoroughly against the schedule and wiring diagram. 4. Connect the sockets to the plugs on the connector board. 5. Replace the gland plate.

Chapter 4 Installing the system

4.9 Step 6: Earthing the instrument NOTE:

Incorrect earthing can cause many problems, so you must earth the chassis and the electronics correctly. However, the way in which you do this depends almost entirely on the type of installation you have and the conditions under which it operates. Therefore, because these instructions cannot cover every possible situation, the manufacturers recommend that earthing procedures should only be carried out by personnel who are skilled in such work.

The Chassis of the 7950 must be earthed in all cases; both for safety reasons and to ensure that the installation complies with EMC regulations. Do this by connecting an earth lead from the stud on the gland plate to a local safety earth such as pipework or some other suitable metal structure.

Connector board

Internal earth lead Gland plate

Earth stud Chassis earth lead to external earth

Earthing the chassis of the 7950 In addition to earthing the chassis, you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases, depending on the installation requirements. Details of this are given in Appendix C.

Chapter 4 Installing the system

4.10 Step 7: Connecting the power supply WARNING

NOTE:

Electricity is dangerous and can kill. Disconnect all power supplies before proceeding.

Mobrey recommend that power connections should not be made by anyone other than a properly-qualified electrician.

Follow these 5 steps: 1. Switch off and disconnect all power supplies to the instrument (if you haven’t already done so). 2. If you are using cable glands, insert one into the appropriate hole in the gland plate. 3. Pass the power cable through the cable gland. 4. Before going any further, re-check that the wiring is connected correctly. 5. The instrument can work on either 110-230V a.c. or from a d.c. supply. Make the power connection, as follows: x x

For a.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL1. For d.c. power: Plug the power connector into plug PL2.

Note that you can connect the 7950 to both the d.c. and a.c. supplies if you want a d.c. back-up in case the mains supply should fail. The instrument goes through the following Power On Self Test (POST) routine: x

The display shows a sequence of characters or patterns to prove that all elements of the display are working. There is a pause of five seconds between each change of pattern.

x

The program ROM is checked against a checksum. The display shows how the test is proceeding.

x

Critical data are checked. The display shows the result of this check.

x

The coefficients are checked. The display shows the result of this check.

x

The battery-backed RAM is checked. The display indicates progress.

x

Any saved programs are checked. The display shows the number of programs and their status. Note that, for a new machine, there are no stored programs.

x

If a battery is fitted, its condition is checked and reported.

Note that, when the power is switched on, alarm LEDs may light up. You can ignore these for the moment alarms are explained in Chapter 8. As long as the POST is completed satisfactorily, the 7950 is ready to be configured (see Chapters 10 and 11). If the POST fails to complete, switch off the power and check all connections and the DIP switch settings. Then re-connect the power supply. If the POST still fails to complete, switch off again and contact your supplier.

5.6 Using the keys to view stored data When an application parameter screen is viewed after selection from the menu, the display is in VIEW mode.

Figure 5.6.1: Typical parameter screen (in VIEW mode) What the display shows Figure 5.6.1 shows a typical display when you view an application parameter screen. In VIEW mode, all information is right justified. Line 1

shows the parameter description. (Some words may be abbreviated.)

Line 2

shows the present value (or text for indirection type).

Line 3

shows the units (if any). This line is blank if there are no units.

Line 4

shows LIVE, SET, FB (FALLBACK) or FAIL to indicate the state of the present value shown in Line 2, where appropriate. These indications mean: LIVE The data shown is live data received from the transducer or transmitter connected to the 795x. SET

You have entered a fixed value for the data; this value does not change unless you change it or make it live.

FALLBACK

A fallback or default value has been used to obtain the value for the data.

FAIL

The input has failed.

Optionally, Line 4 may also show the parameter’s unique identification number (location ID), which is required when setting up certain features e.g. multi-view. You can display this information by using the ‘a’ key.

Chapter 6 The menu system

6. The menu system 6.1 What this Chapter tells you Before you can configure and operate the 795x instrument, you must have some understanding of how the menu system works. The menus are simple, logically-arranged and intuitive so they should present no problems to the average user. This chapter tells you how a typical menu structure is arranged. However, because instruments in the 795x family have different software according to the application for which they are being used, the descriptions given here is general so that it applies to any 795x instrument. Note: Chapter 12 features tables showing the menu system used in your application.

6.2 What the menu system does The menu system lets you: x x x x

Configure the 795x Operate it View data and settings stored in the 795x Edit data stored in the 795x

6.3 How the menu system works When you power-on the 795x instrument, the menu system appears immediately after the routine Power-OnSelf-Test (POST) is completed. If it is the first power-on since application software was installed, the Main Menu screen will appear, similar to the one shown in Figure 6.3.1. Otherwise, the 795x will display the last visited menu screen prior to powering off (or a power failure).

Figure 6.3.1: Main Menu Screen (Top-Level Menu)

Think of the menu system as having a tree-like structure which repeatedly branches to lower levels. The Main Menu screen (‘tree trunk’) in Figure 6.3.1 comprises four menu choices (‘branches’). Each menu choice has a text description (e.g. “Flow rates”) and a triangular icon to indicate the type of menu choice. A non-solid, triangular icon indicates the menu choice leads to a further menu (sub-branch), whereas a solid, triangular icon indicates the menu choice leads to an application software parameter screen (leaf). In addition, each menu choice is associated with a lettered key (a, b c or d). For example, a menu choice on display line 1 is always associated with the ‘a’-key. A menu choice on display line 2 is always associated with the ‘b’-key, and so on.

795x Op Man (Ch06/FA)

Page 6.1

Chapter 6 The menu system

When you make a choice from the Main Menu, using the lettered keys, it leads you on to other, lower-level menus (branch levels 2, 3, and so on). Figure 6.3.2 shows how pressing the ‘a’-key will lead to a menu for “Flow rates”. Similarly, the ‘b’-key leads to a menu for “Flow totals”. Using the BACK key will return you to the previous menu, in this case the Main Menu.

Figure 6.3.2: Menu Choice Selection

Where a menu has more choices that can fit on to the display, it consists of two or more pages. Vertical arrow icons appear on the left-hand side of the display to indicate there are further pages. Figure 6.3.3 shows how you can scroll up or down between the pages by using the UP-ARROW and DOWNARROW buttons. These buttons will do nothing if there is no page to scroll to.

Figure 6.3.3: Pages of a Main Menu Page 6.2

795x Op Man (Ch06/FA)

Chapter 6 The menu system

At the lowest levels in each branch of the menu system, there are software parameter screens (‘leaves’). Figure 6.3.4 shows how to get to the software parameter screen for Live/Set Meter temperature values. Application software parameter screens feature a solid, black, triangular shaped mark in the bottom-left corner of display line 4. In multiple-run (multi-stream) application software, there is a number to indicate which metering-run (stream) that the parameter attributes (value, units and status) is referring to. Note: Details about editing application software parameters can be found in Chapter 5.

Figure 6.3.4: Software Parameter Screen

Returning to the Main Menu again, there are several menu choices that are noteworthy as they are common to all application software versions. In addition, you’ll come across them in subsequent chapters. Figure 6.3.5 and Figure 6.3.6 provide an overview .

Leads to menus for viewing interim results of measurements and other calculations, Inputs, Outputs, etc. (See Chapter 12 for a full map)

Leads to a screen for entering a password to change security level. (See Chapter 11).

Leads to menus for editing measurement tasks for your installation. (See Chapters 8 - 11). Figure 6.3.5: Main Menu Choices – Common to all application software (Part One)

Leads to menus where you can view/edit the time and date, plus machine cycle timing.

Leads to a screen detailing the software version number.

Leads to a screen where you can view/edit text to identify the 795x instrument. Figure 6.3.6: Main Menu Choices – Common to all application software (Part Two)

All other menu choices on the Main Menu (e.g. “Flow rates”) are for operators to quickly find final measurements and other calculation results. Chapter 12 has tables showing these menus in more detail.

Serial Communications and Networking

7.1

What this chapter tells you This chapter is a comprehensive guide to serial RS-232/485 port communications with the 7950/7951 instrument. Since this subject area is vast, with countless reference books, the scope is restricted to the 795x point-of-view. Therefore, it has been assumed that the reader has a reasonable working knowledge of data communications and networking. A highly recommended reference for this chapter is: x The 1992 edition of “MODICON MODBUS PROTOCOL REFERENCE GUIDE (PL_MBUS-300)”. Note: This chapter is not a guide to the MODBUS protocol

7.2

7950/7951 Communication Capabilities The 7950/7951 instrument has extensive facilities – ports and data services – to allow the communication of data with almost any device that has support for the Modicon MODBUS protocol. Communication ports and their associated standards are summarised in Table 7.2.1. Various data services are available through the ports and are introduced in Section 7.2.2.

Communication Ports Serial RS-232/485 Ports Two serial interface standards are supported by the 795x series – Serial RS-232C (full duplex) and Serial RS-485 (half duplex). They are software selectable if there is a choice for a particular port. RS-232C is the usual choice for a direct (point-to-point) network connection with only one device. Typically, it is utilised when transmitting printed reports to an ASCII compatible output device, such as a printer or a terminal. Another main use is the ‘Peer-to-Peer List’ data service that can regularly broadcast parameter values to another 7950/7951 instrument. Data services are introduced in Section 7.2.2. RS-485 is the choice when establishing a multi-drop network with two or more devices. This network allows both Master/Slave and Peer/Peer arrangements of devices and, subsequently, full availability of all data services. Data services are introduced in Section 7.2.2.

7.2.2

Data Services Table 7.2.2 lists the data services that are available through any serial RS232/485 port. Services are accessed by a half-duplex exchange of MODBUS – request and response - messages between the 7950/7951 instrument and another MODBUS device. Guided examples with the necessary message sequences to correctly access services are given later in Chapter 7 and in any extra pages that are inserted between Chapters 7 and 8.

MODBUS from the 7950/7951 view-point

7.3.1

Introduction The Modicon MODBUS specification is designed to transfer data in 1-bit (coil) or 16-bit (register) blocks. This protocol has not been designed to deal with data, such as floating-point numbers, which require a minimum of 32-bit blocks. For this reason, every manufacturer of computer equipment that deals with this type of data must decide in which way the protocol should be extended. Consequently, many different implementations exist for the transfer of 32-bit floating-point data.

7.3.2

Supported Commands Members of the 795x series support four MODBUS functions: 1. Function 03 – Read multiple registers 2. Function 06 – Write single register 3. Function 16 – Write multiple registers Data stored within a 795x series instrument is represented by one or more 16-bit registers. Where registers contain a collection of bits, the 16-bit register is still used rather than individual bit (coil) access. The 795x series supports both single and multiple register access. Each port is configured individually to allow one type of register access. Multiple Register Access: ‘write’ command involving a 21-byte character string will specify 11 registers. Single Register Access:

7.3.3

‘write’ command involving the same character string will specify just 1 register.

Floating Point Numbers Floating-point values within the software parameter database are stored as 64-bit IEEE (double-precision) numbers. When requested over a MODBUS network link, a floating-point value is either encoded as a 32-bit IEEE (single-precision) number or encoded as a 64-bit IEEE (double-precision) number. The precision level is individually selectable for each communication port.

7.3.4

Word Swap Mode Since Modicon did not define 32-bit data transfers, the order of transmission for (2 x 16-bit) words of a 32bit value is also not defined. The 795x series therefore provides the facility to choose whether the first or second word is the most significant. For 64-bit numbers, word swap places the second double-word as the most significant. This mode is individually selectable for each port. Figure 7.3.1: Word Ordering Examples

7950/51 2510 (Ch07/FB)

Page 7.3

Chapter 7 Serial Communications and Networking

7.3.5

MODBUS Addressing Unlike most MODBUS devices, the 7950/7951 instrument can respond to more than one MODBUS address through a communication port. The base address of a MODBUS Slave is programmable and is used for accessing the database of software parameters. It is also possible to configure a 7950/7951 to allow access to further data services through virtual addressing – consecutive MODBUS addresses offset beyond the base address. You do not need to edit these virtual addresses because they are at fixed offsets beyond the programmed base address. The offsets are illustrated in Table 7.3.1. A virtual address becomes active when the corresponding data service is enabled. Note:

There can be different base addresses programmed for each individual port if you require it. However, the fixed address offsets still apply and will access exactly the same data service.

7950/7951 Database access over a MODBUS network This section demonstrates how a (non-795x) MODBUS Master can communicate with the software parameter database of a 7950/7951 MODBUS Slave.

7.6.1

Introduction There are several types of information that can be obtained from the software parameter database: 1. Parameter value (in base units of measurement) 2. Parameter value status. 3. Data size and data type attributes for a software parameter value. The 795x series uses a unique index called a location identification (ID) number. There is a unique ID number for every stored software parameter. The location ID number is not normally displayed, but pressing the ‘a’ key when a parameter page is displayed, will display the number on the fourth line. MODBUS registers are expressed as the location ID number minus 1. Therefore, a requesting device will ask for MODBUS register 16 in order to read the data of the software parameter with an ID of 17.

Notice Parameter attributes and location identification (ID) numbers of the database with your installed software is likely to be different to those used in these examples. For a full list of parameters, locate the ASCII text file with the filename extension ‘.MAN’ on your ‘FC CONFIG’ 2 installation disk.

A number of worked examples are provided for each information type. Every example features objectives, actions, and results. Adapt the examples to suit your requirements. Objective For an example, the objective could be to read a value from a specific parameter. Action(s) This consists of one or more ‘read’ and ‘write’ MODBUS protocol commands (framed messages), shown as a sequence of hexadecimal values. The framed messages need to be transmitted by the MODBUS Master. Responses are also shown as a sequence of hexadecimal values. Table 7.6.2 contains a list of all the abbreviations of meanings that can appear with a sequence. Use them to distinguish the important elements of the sequence. Result This is a brief analysis of the MODBUS response to an action. There may be a reference to additional information. Some software parameters may have a “No access” security attribute and, therefore, be permanently unavailable. The response from a command to read such data is shown in Table 7.6.1.

Historical Alarm Log access over a MODBUS Network This section demonstrates how a MODBUS Master can access “LIVE” information from the Historical Alarm Log of a 7950/7951 MODBUS Slave. Refer to Chapter 8 if an explanation for the Historical Alarm Log is required.

7.7.1

Introduction Information from the Historical Alarm Log is available to a MODBUS Master through the register map of Virtual Address ‘1’ (base address + offset of 1).

Warning! It is not advisable to clear or accept alarms using the front panel while the Historical Alarm Log is being queried by a MODBUS master. Doing so could result in the MODBUS Master having an incorrect view of the content.

Worked examples are provided to demonstrate the correct method for (1) obtaining details of an alarm, (2) accepting that alarm and (3) clearing that alarm Every example features objectives, request/response sequences, and an explained result. Adapt the examples to suit your requirements. Objective For an example, the objective could be to read a value from a specific parameter. Action(s) This consists of one or more ‘read’ and ‘write’ MODBUS protocol commands (framed messages), shown as a sequence of hexadecimal values.

Historical Event Log access over a MODBUS network This section demonstrates how a MODBUS Master can access “LIVE” information from the Historical Event Log of a 7950/7951 MODBUS Slave. Refer to Chapter 8 if an explanation for the Historical Event Log is required.

7.8.1

Introduction Information from the Historical Event Log is retrievable through the map of MODBUS registers associated with ‘Virtual Address 1’ (base address + offset of 1).

Warning! It is not advisable to clear or accept events using the front panel while the Historical Event Log is being queried by a MODBUS master. This could otherwise result in the MODBUS master having an in-correct view of the content.

Worked examples are provided to demonstrate the correct method for (1) obtaining details of an event, (2) accepting that event and (3) clearing that event Every example features objectives, actions, and a result analysis. Objective For an example, the objective could be to read a value from a specific parameter. Action(s) This consists of one or more ‘read’ and ‘write’ MODBUS protocol commands (framed messages), shown as a sequence of hexadecimal values. The framed messages need to be transmitted by the MODBUS Master. Responses are also shown as a sequence of hexadecimal values. Table 7.8.1 contains a list of all the abbreviations of meanings that can appear with a sequence. Use them to distinguish the important elements of the sequence. Result This is a brief analysis of the MODBUS Slave response to an action. There may be a reference to additional information.

In practice, all identification numbers would need to be retrieved and stored for repeating steps.

Step 3 is to make information available about a specific event. This is mandatory for remaining steps. MODBUS Action 1 of 2: Make information available for the first event Write the event identification number (i.e. 0x02D5) to MODBUS register 10,999 Transmit

PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS (CHAPTER 7 ADDENDUM ‘A’)

Chapter 7(a) Peer-To-Peer Communications

Software Version 2510, Issue 4.00 (or higher)

ABOUT THIS ADDENDUM 7a.1

What is the purpose if this addendum? This addendum has been written to provide a guide to the software support for peer-to-peer MODBUS network communications. To use this guide effectively, it is essential to be familiar with the 795x keypad functions, moving around the menu system and editing. (Chapter 5 can help with this) The data necessary for configuring a measurement/feature can be found in separate parts of the menu structure. A notation has been used as a short method of explaining how to move from the present menu to another menu. As an example, the notation of <“Configure”>/<“Flow rate”> translates into these steps: Step 1: Press the MAIN-MENU key Step 2: Use the DOWN-ARROW (‘V’) key to scroll through pages until the word “Configure” is seen.

An overview is in Section 7a.2.1…………………….……………. Page 7a.3 A list of configuration instructions is in Section 7a.2.2…..…….. Page 7a.5

7A.2.1 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS FEATURE? This feature is typically used when a ‘Header’ Flow Computer must send various measurements (e.g. pressure, temperature, etc.) over a MODBUS protocol network to one or more ‘Stream’ Flow Computers. The 795x Flow Computer network can be a mixture of members from the 795x series.

USE OF THE MODBUS PROTOCOL In MODBUS protocol terms, a ‘Header’ Flow Computer is usually given the role of a MODBUS Master device. It has the responsibility for the peer-to-peer transmission of measurement values during every machine cycle. The ‘Stream’ Flow Computers are all MODBUS Slave devices and they are the recipients of peer-to-peer transmissions. When an RS-232 point-to-point network is the vehicle for this feature… A 795x Master device continuously broadcasts values of peer-to-peer nominated parameters directly to the database of a single 795x Slave device. The two MODBUS devices can be wired together via any serial port supporting RS-232 standard. A peer-to-peer topology is shown in Figure 2on page 7a.3. When an RS-485 multiple-drop network is the vehicle for this feature… A 795x Master device continuously broadcasts values of peer-to-peer nominated parameters to a maximum of sixteen 795x MODBUS slaves. The 795x MODBUS devices can be wired together via any serial port supporting the RS-485 standard. A peer-to-peer topology is shown in Figure 3on page 7a.3 At present, peer-to-peer communications will operate through one serial port. Configuring another serial port of the ‘Header’ 795x to function as a Master device and connecting it to a duplicate MODBUS network will cause unpredictable results.

THE PEER-TO-PEER LISTS 1 On the 795x Master there are two peer-to-peer lists for compiling a collection of up to 40 measurement parameters (795x database locations) in total. The list is simply a look-up reference for the Master, when 2 preparing transmissions, and is programmed with database location IDs. Figure 7a.2.1 shows how an individual peer-to-peer list comprises of entries (menu data pages) for nominating from 1 up to 20 parameters. Each list entry requires a programmed source – a database location ID on the 795x Master device - and a programmed destination – a database location ID on the 795x Slave devices.

These lists are wholly independent of the High Speed Lists that are set-up on one (or more) 795x MODBUS slaves for access by non-795x MODBUS Master devices. To find out the database location ID for any parameter, navigate the menu system to the applicable menu data page and then press the ‘a’ soft-key once. The 4-digit database location ID is then displayed on the fourth line of the LCD display.

INTRODUCTION

PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS

Each 795x Slave device is allocated one of the two lists. This is a user-selection and is made when defining slaves whilst setting up the 795x Master device. Once lists are programmed, peer-to-peer operations are commenced on the 795x Master by a selecting an “Enable” option (‘soft-command’) through a menu data page. For each correctly listed parameter, a value is then read from the database, incorporated into a MODBUS ‘write’ command message and transmitted from the 795x Master device to the database on designated 795x Slave devices. All peer-to-peer lists, in use, are processed in full during a single machine cycle. This is repeated once every cycle until peer-to-peer operations are stopped by a “disable” ‘soft-command’. In a network of two 795x Flow Computers – a Master device and a Slave device, the Master is able to detect all failures to communicate with the slave and it raises a system alarm. With one slave, every MODBUS (‘write’) command message is explicitly addressed and that solicits a response from that slave. The absence of a response after a period (of retries) is how the Master detects a failure3. In a network of multiple slaves, MODBUS ‘write’ command messages use an all-slave broadcast address, which does not solicit any response and, therefore, the Master does not detect a communication failure. In this case, the system alarm is not raised. When the system alarm can not be cleared without it re-appearing during the next machine cycle, there are continuous communication failures. It is advisable to temporarily halt peer-to-peer operations, clear all related alarms and investigate (and correct) the difficulty before resuming.

(2d) Navigate to this menu: <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameters”>/<”Communications”>/<”Modbus master”>/<”Peer to peer”> (2e) Program the peer-to-peer lists Menus: Peer List One: /…<”Modbus master”>/<”Peer to Peer”>/<”Peer list 1”> Peer List Two: /…<”Modbus master”>/<”Peer to Peer”>/<”Peer list 2”> When programming a list, it is very important to use the first available (unused) entry and to not leave gaps. This will avoid inadvertently shortening the list. Programming a valid location number for a source will immediately result in the number changing to the parameter descriptor. The destination does not do this because the edited location number stays displayed as the edited number. Editing a location number for a parameter that does not exist is responded with a “*** ERROR ***” message appearing briefly and the original setting is then restored. By default, destinations (location IDs) are automatically synchronised with the corresponding sources. This is ideal for when Flow Computers are running the same software release. However, the source and destination (IDs) do not have to be the same. For each list, there is a peer-to-peer configuration 4

To avoid the risk of ‘warm restarts’, it is advisable to pre-set the signalling standard – RS-232 or RS-485 – for 795x serial ports before establishing the physical connections.

ABOUT THIS ADDENDUM 7b.1

What is the purpose if this addendum? This addendum has been written to provide a guide to the software support for HSL - High Speed List – communications over a MODBUS protocol network. To use this guide effectively, it is essential to be familiar with the 795x keypad functions, moving around the menu system and editing. (Chapter 5 can help with this) The data necessary for configuring a measurement/feature can be found in separate parts of the menu structure. A notation has been used as a short method of explaining how to move from the present menu to another menu. As an example, the notation of <“Configure”>/<“Flow rate”> translates into these steps: Step 1: Press the MAIN-MENU key Step 2: Use the DOWN-ARROW (‘V’) key to scroll through pages until the word “Configure” is seen. Step 3: Press the blue (letter) key that is alongside the word “Configure”. Step 4: Use the DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through pages until the word “Flow rate” is seen. Step 5: Press the blue (letter) key that is alongside the word “Flow rate”. Sometimes, it is convenient to use the MAIN-MENU key (especially if lost). However, use of the BACKARROW key is a much more common method of returning to a menu level. Note: The menu structure will vary in other software versions and releases.

7b.2.1 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS FEATURE? This feature is typically used when a MODBUS Master device 1 must get parameter data from a 795x series Flow Computer, where both are attached to the same MODBUS protocol network. High-speed list communications facilitate the quick collection and transmission of data from up to 300 usernominated parameters. This is achieved by using just a small quantity of MODBUS protocol messages. It would otherwise require an exchange of hundreds of messages. The 795x Flow Computer also helps by collecting all the data of nominated (listed) parameters from its’ database and keeping it ‘local’. This activity is completed during every machine cycle. Keeping parameter data ‘locally’ allows faster data access, allowing the 795x to service requests from a Master device as quickly as possible. Hence, the term of ‘high-speed lists’. There are two aspects to high-speed list communications: x x

the MODBUS protocol (network arrangements, communication parameters and message exchanges) a list of parameters (i.e. 795x database locations) and

Read about each aspect in the sections that follow this overview and then look at the setting-up instructions and the guided example. USE OF THE MODBUS PROTOCOL In MODBUS protocol terms, the MODBUS Master device is likely to be a supervisory system. The Master device is responsible for acquiring parameter data through an exchange of MODBUS protocol messages with one ore more a MODBUS networked slave devices. The 795x Flow Computer is the MODBUS slave device, supporting RS-485 and RS-232 signalling standards. When an RS-232 point-to-point network is the vehicle for this feature… A Master device can request parameter data from one 795x slave device. The two MODBUS devices can be wired together via any serial port supporting RS-232 Standard. (See Figure 1 on page 7b.3) When an RS-485 multiple-drop network is the vehicle for this feature… A Master device can request parameter data from one or more 795x slaves. The 795x MODBUS slave devices can be wired together via any serial port supporting the RS-485 Standard.

Chapter 7(b) HSL Communications

HIGH-SPEED LIST COMMUNICATIONS

THE HIGH-SPEED PARAMETER LIST On 795x slaves there are two individual lists 2 for nominating the parameters – labelled as “High-speed List 1” and “High Speed List 2” within the communications area of the menu system. Each list has the capacity for nominating up to 150 parameters, organised into three blocks of 50 parameters. Figure 4 on page7b.4 illustrates the three block structure for both lists. The figure shows that blocks are set-up on an individual basis. Parameters are nominated using their own unique database location identification (ID) number. Each entry in a block has a dedicated menu data page for editing in a location ID. The parameter list is primarily for the 795x slave device to extract data of specific parameters from its’ database during every machine cycle. All extracted data is stored ‘locally’ for faster and more efficient data access. It is then accessible only to a Master device by means of MODBUS ‘read’ command messages. Figure 3 on page 7b.4 illustrates the process. MODBUS ‘read’ command messages must be addressed to either virtual slave ‘2’ or virtual slave ‘3’ through any MODBUS slave configured port. Virtual slave addressing is explained in Chapter 7.

The register map at each virtual slave is initially in a pre-set format but it can be individually re-organised to suit applications on the Master device. There are several basic styles available for selection. Follow the links in Table 1 to get a graphical overview of default register maps for each basic style. You will also get to see how the blocks of a parameter list are linked to a register map.

(3g) Program the high-speed list with the location ID of each parameter to be made available to the Master Menu Data List 3 lists the descriptors of the menu data pages for programming the ‘Block A’ partition with location IDs of up to 50 parameters. The menu data pages are easily located within the 795x menu system under the <“Block A”> sub-menu. Menu Data List 3 : ‘BLOCK A’ Parameter Entries 1–50 Menu Data (as displayed)

* Abbreviation: “ptr” = pointer (a programming term)

The menu data pages for programming entries in ‘Block B’ and ‘Block C’ are easily located within the menu system under the <“Block B”> and <“Block C”> sub-menus. It is good practice to start with ‘Block A’ before progressing to ‘Block B’. Likewise, start with ‘Block B’ before progressing to ‘Block C’. It is not necessary to fully utilise a block before using another. When programming in location identification numbers (IDs), it is very important to use the first available (unused) entry and to not leave gaps. This will avoid inadvertently shortening the list. (See Figure 8)

Programming in a valid location number will immediately result in the number changing to the parameter descriptor. Editing a location number for a parameter that does not exist is responded with a “** ERROR **” message appearing briefly and the original setting is then restored.

4. Program High Speed List ‘2’ (if it is to be used ) Repeat steps 3a to 3g but this time it is for configuring HSL-2.

HIGH-SPEED LIST COMMUNICATIONS

GUIDED EXAMPLE

7b.2.3 Guided Example: Accessing a HSL over a MODBUS network This section is a practical guide to collecting parameter data from a 795x MODBUS Slave through the high-speed list feature. For this guided example, High-speed List ‘1’ (HSL-1) has been used.

What to do here:

1. Review the 795x slave configuration Menu Data List 4 and Menu Data List 5, both on page 7b.13, show configuration details for this guided example. These checklists should be used in conjunction with the “Instructions” section on page 7b.9. MODBUS feature settings for the serial port have been chosen especially to obtain the MODBUS message sequences that are shown later. For a full list of configuration parameters for serial communications, please refer to the “Instructions” section on page 7b.9. For the purpose of this guided example, instructions assume that the Master device is already set-up.

2. Review the MODBUS message sequences MODBUS message sequences aim to show the best approach to accessing high-speed list parameter data through a MODBUS register map at a virtual slave address. For this guided example, the “Old Style” default register map has been used. Every example features an objective, an action and a result… Objective(s) For an example, the objective could be to read a value from two listed parameters. Action(s) Actions consist of one or more ‘read’ and ‘write’ MODBUS protocol commands. They are represented in this documentation as tabulated hexadecimal values in sequence for transmission by the Master device. Expected replies from the 795x MODBUS slave device are also shown as tabulated values. Table 5 is a list of all the abbreviations of meanings that can appear with a sequence. Use them to distinguish the important elements of the message. Result This is a brief analysis of the MODBUS slave response to an action. There may be a reference to additional information.

3. Experiment Try out the examples and then adapt them to suit your requirements

Notes: 1. Metering totals are stored in the database in two parts. There is one database location for the integer part and one database location for the fractional part. They are usually not displayed within the menu system. When communicating totals over MODBUS, transmit both the integer and fractional values. All totals displayed within the menu system are also database locations. However, they are not suitable for transmission. 2.

WONDERWARE COMPATIBILITY NOTES 7b.3

Using Wonderware’s Modbus I/O Server With High-Speed Lists Background The MODBUS specification glances over the concept of different address ranges containing different data types (and only those types in that range), and therefore using different MODBUS command numbers to manipulate the data. The specification goes on to say that ‘It is perfectly acceptable, and very common, to regard all four tables as overlaying one another, if this is the most natural interpretation on the target machine in question’. While individual manufacturers have mostly banded their data somewhat, but in smaller bands that do not fit this ‘four-table’ approach, Wonderware’s software has stuck to the separate address range method rigidly. For some individual manufacturers it has knowledge of, it has allowed them to specify their own arrangements, and will honour them; without that, you must use absolute addressing, ® which relies on the different command numbers for different ranges. Because Solartron flow computers only support commands 3 and 16 covering the whole range of 0 – 65535, absolute addressing cannot be used; up until now, none of the other manufacturers’ implementations could be used either.

Now With the flexibility of the new high-speed lists, it is now possible to get most important data by simulating one of the other manufacturers. In the future, Wonderware will support Mobrey’s 795x Series directly. For now, here is how you can read floating-point data types and long integers (totals in their most accurate representation) using Wonderware:

1. Configure the communications parameters on the 795x // /<Modbus parameters>/<Slave features> Ö “Alarm+L1+L2+Dlog” (recommended) /<Modbus parameters>/ Ö “Single register” /<Modbus parameters>/ Ö “Single precision” ///<Modbus slave> /<Word order> Ö “Modbus default” / Ö “Grouped” (recommended) / Ö 7001 (required for compatibility reasons) /<Word order> Ö “Modbus default” / Ö “Grouped” (recommended) / Ö 15001 (required for compatibility reasons) With this arrangement floating-point values can be read from ‘high-speed list 1’ and long integers read from ‘high-speed list 2’. If you need to be able to read ‘floats’ and ‘longs’ from the same high-speed list, you will need to choose the “Ungrouped” style of register map and re-organise the start registers for each block section as appropriate. You will not be able to read ‘floats’ and ‘longs’ from within the same block, as they require different address ranges.

2. Configure Wonderware’s Modbus I/O server: (2a) Configure the “Topic Definition” - choose a name such as “Solar2510L1” (2b) Select the MODBUS slave address - the base address + 2 (for high-speed list 1) (2c) Select “Omni” as the ‘Slave device type” – Omni’s arrangement is the only one currently which can be used with the 795x series (2d) Repeat for 2a – 2c for ‘High-speed List 2’ (if applicable) You should now be able to use the I/O server via, for example, In Touch.

Chapter 7C 16-bit Communications (Gould List) 7C.1 Overview Chapter 7C is a guide to the software support for 16-bit only MODBUS protocol communications, which utilises the Gould List in this 795x menu: <”Configure”>/<”Other parameters”>//<”MODBus slave”>/<”Gould list”>. This feature is required when a MODBUS Master 1 is to exchange 16-bit 2 data with one or more 795x Flow Computers operating as a MODBUS Slaves, where all are attached to the same MODBUS network.

7C.1.2

Chapter 7C: 16-bit Communications (Gould List)

795x 16-bit communication features 795x 16-bit communications allows a MODBUS Master to: x

read a 16-bit value – the full value – from a 16-bit parameter (location) – Multiple Register Access

x

read a 16-bit value from any 16-bit segment of a 32-bit or 64-bit parameter (location) – Mult. Reg. Access

x

read a full value from a 32-bit of 64-bit parameter (location) – Single Register Access

x

3 write a 16-bit value – the full value – to a 16-bit parameter (location) – Multiple Register Access

x

write a 16-bit value to any 16-bit segment of a 32-bit or 64-bit parameter (location) – Mult. Reg. Access

x

write a full value to a 32-bit or 64-bit parameter (location) – Single Register Access

The ‘16-bit value’ may be scaled (x10, x100 or x1000) before transmission to the MODBUS Master and descaled (y10, y100 or y1000) before being saved to an application parameter (location). This optional feature is explained in Section 7C.1.9. In addition, serial port parameters for selecting Single or Multiple (Long) Register Access, MODBUS Word Order, Single or Double Precision and Totals format affect 16-bit communications – see Section 7C.1.13 for details of their effect.

7C.1.3

16-bit segments (Gould Registers) when using Multiple Register Access Figure 3 shows how a 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit parameter value is viewed as one or more 16-bit segments. When using Multiple Register Access, each segment is a Gould Register that can be individually read or written if set-up in a Gould List.

Figure 3: 16-bit segments (Gould Registers) when using Multiple Register Access It follows then that the Gould Register access for a 32-bit (or 64-bit) parameter is slightly different to accessing a 16-bit parameter. In Figure 4, a 16-bit value is written, as a full value, to the only 16-bit segment (Gould Register) of a 16-bit parameter. Similarly, a whole value can be read from the same Gould Register.

In Figure 5, a 16-bit value is read from the first 16-bit segment (Gould Register) of a 32-bit parameter. A further message (request) is required to read to the second 16-bit segment (Gould Register). With values from both segments retrieved, the full value can be assembled by the MODBUS Master. The same principle applies to 64-bit parameters, except there are four of the 16-bit segments. Note: More than one Gould Register can be accessed at the same time if the 795x Gould List is set-up appropriately. MODBUS Master

16-bit segments (Gould Registers) when using Single Register Access Figure 6 shows how a 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit parameter value is viewed as one or more 16-bit segments. When using Single Register Access, all 16-bit segments – the full value – equate to one Gould Register that can be individually read or written if set-up in a Gould List. Therefore, reading a Gould Register will retrieve the full value, irrespective of the parameter data type. Similarly, a full value can be written to the Gould Register. Note: More than one Gould Register can be accessed at the same time if the 795x Gould List is set-up appropriately.

Chapter 7C: 16-bit Communications (Gould List)

Gould List On the 795x Flow Computer, the Gould List comprises menu entries for nominating up to 50 Gould Registers. Each list entry requires user-entered details, which include: x x x x

a user-nominated address for the Gould Register (e.g. 40001) the unique 4-digit location identification number of the associated parameter (e.g. Loc ID: 0144) Word Offset – 0, 1, 2 or 3 – for selecting a 16-bit segment of the parameter value (if applicable) Scaling factor – x10, x100, x1000 or none – for scaling/de-scaling the 16-bit data being exchanged

The 795x Gould List can be set-up for Multiple Register Access or Single Register (or a mixture if using more than one serial port.) Figure 7 shows an example 795x Gould List set-up for Multiple Register Access. There are 3 entries populated with user-entered details. Gould List entries 1 and 2 are set-up for accessing the first 16-bit segment (Gould Register 40001) and final 16-bit segment (Gould Register 40002) of a 32-bit parameter (location), perhaps a flow rate. Since the full value of parameter 0144 is represented in 32-bits, the Word Offset option must be used to select which 16-bit segment is associated with the nominated Gould Register address. Word Offset 0 selects first 16-bit segment. Word Offset 1 selects the final 16-bit segment. (Word Offset 2 and 3 are applicable only for a 64-bit parameter.) Gould List entry 3 is set-up for accessing a 16-bit parameter, but there is a deliberate mistake. The Word Offset is 1, which is incorrect since there is no second 16-bit segment in a 16-bit parameter. Likewise, Word Offsets 2 and 3 would also be incorrect as there are no third and fourth segments. To correct the error, Word Offset 0 must be selected. Gould List entry 50 is not in use and shows the factory default settings. Note: A location ID of 0 (“Off”) will terminate the 795x Gould List – do not skip entries in the 795x Gould List. GOULD LIST

Figure 8 shows an example 795x Gould List set-up for Single Register Access. Again, there are 3 entries populated with user-entered details. Gould List entry 1 is set-up for accessing the full value – all 16-bit segments – of Gould Register 40001. Since the full value of parameter 0144 is read in one go, the Word Offset option is not used and it is kept set to the factory default of Word Offset 0. Gould List entry 2 is set-up for accessing the full value – all 16-bit segments – of Gould Register 40002. Again, since the full value of parameter 0167 is read in one go, the Word Offset option is not used and it is kept set to the factory default of Word Offset 0. Since Gould Register 40001 and 40002 have addresses in sequence and are in consecutive entries, they can both be read at the same time. Gould List entry 3 is set-up for accessing the full value – a single 16-bit segment – of Gould Register 50001. Again, the Word Offset option is not used and it is kept set to the factory default of Word Offset 0. Gould Register 40002 and 50001 are in consecutive entries but the addresses are not in sequence; they cannot both be read at the same time. Gould List entry 50 is not in use and shows the factory defaults. Note: A location ID of 0 (“Off”) will terminate the 795x Gould List – do not skip entries in the 795x Gould List.

7C.1.6

Chapter 7C: 16-bit Communications (Gould List)

Gould List: Gould Register Addressing The address of a Gould Register can be edited to be any number in the range 0 to 65535 (0x0000 to 0xFFFF), as long as it is unique in the Gould List. Attempts to enter an address outside this range will be responded to with an “** ERROR **” message, onscreen for a few seconds, and the original setting is then restored. When accessing more than one Gould Register at a time, the user-entered addresses must be in sequence (e.g. 1300, 1301, etc) and in consecutive entries in the Gould List. When accessing one Gould Register at a time, the addresses of consecutive entries in the Gould List do not have to be in sequence (e.g. 1300, 1400, etc.)

7C.1.7

Gould List: Parameters (Locations) To find the unique identification number of a parameter (location), navigate to the parameter screen and press the A-key to display the number.

7C.1.8

Gould List: Word Offset Word Offset settings in the Gould List are only applicable when using Multiple Register Access (rather than using Single Register Access). With Multiple Register Access, each Gould Register equates to a 16-bit segment of data. Therefore, you select the segment that will equate to the register. Word Offset 0 The Gould Register is mapped to the only 16-bit segment of a 16-bit parameter value or it is mapped to the first 16-bit segment of a 32-bit or 64-bit parameter value. Word Offset 1 The Gould Register is mapped to the second 16-bit segment of a 32-bit or 64-bit parameter value. Word Offset 2 The Gould Register is mapped to the third 16-bit segment of a 64-bit parameter value. Word Offset 3 The Gould Register is mapped to the fourth 16-bit segment of a 64-bit parameter value. Examples can be found in Section 7C.3. Note: With Single Register Access, each Gould Register equates to the whole value (all 16-bit segments).

7C.1.9

Gould List: Scaling Factor The scaling factor, 10, 100 or 1000, is effective only when accessing floating-point values. If selected for a Gould Register, the factor is applied, therefore converting it into a whole number (integer) before or transmitted or vice versa if being saved. If no scaling factor is to be applied, select “No Scaling” – this is the factory default for each Gould List entry. The purpose of this feature is for systems that cannot handle float conversions – they may ask for temperature x 100 (as an integer). You cannot get scaled values as a floating-point value. Practical examples can be found in Section 7C.3.

7C.1.10 MODBUS Message Exchanges The MODBUS Master can access more than one Gould Registers in one request. To access the registers, it must transmit a read or write MODBUS protocol message addressed to the 795x MODBUS slave. The slave will then reply with a MODBUS protocol message. Note: Write messages can be broadcast to all 795x MODBUS slaves with a MODBUS slave address of 0. Gould registers can be accessed through any serial port configured to be a MODBUS slave and the Gould List access is enabled by the port MODBUS feature parameter. (Full configuration details are in Section 7C.2.)

Chapter 7C: 16-bit Communications (Gould List)

7C.1.13 Serial port parameters (locations) Each serial port has parameters for selecting Single or Multiple (Long) Register Access, MODBUS Word Order, Single or Double Precision and Totals format affect 16-bit communications. The 795x Flow Computer has support for both Single Register Access and Multiple Register Access. Each serial port is configured to allow one type of register access. Multiple Register Access: With this type of access, each Gould Register equates to a single 16-bit segment. Therefore, to read a 32bit value, two Gould Registers are required. Similarly, to read a 64-bit value, four Gould Registers are required. Single Register Access: With this type of access, each Gould Register equates to all the 16-bit segments required for a full value. Therefore, to read a 16-bit value, 32-bit value or 64-bit value, only one Gould Register is required. <MODBUS Word Order> The 795x Flow Computer provides the facility to choose the Word (double-byte) ordering of data fields in MODBUS messages. This feature is individually selectable for each serial port. Figure 11 shows the effect of the Default Order option and Word Swap option for single-precision (32-bit) and double-precision (64-bit) values. For 64-bit values, the second double Word is the most significant. SINGLE PRECISION

Floating-point values (e.g. flow rates) are made available as a 32-bit IEEE (single-precision) number or as a 64-bit IEEE (double-precision) number. The precision level is individually selectable for each serial port.

Each incremental total can be read as two separate 32-bit integers or as a single floating-point value, depending on the option selected. The format is individually selectable for each serial port. When a flow total value (e.g. 2983.54) is to be read as a 32-bit integer, there is one parameter (location) with the “2953” and another parameter (location) with the “54”. When a flow total value (e.g. 2983.54) is to be read as a floating-point value, there is just one parameter (location) with the “2953.54”.

7C.2 Configuring and Activation Instructions Follow these instructions to configure and activate 16-bit communications on the 795x Flow Computer: 1. Ensure that 795x Flow Computers and MODBUS Maste device are already interconnected to form a 4 MODBUS network. (Guidance on the necessary RS-232 or RS-485 wiring is in the main Chapter 7.) 2. Program a 795x Flow Computer to be the MODBUS slave device (2a) Navigate to this menu: <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameters”>/<”Communications”>/<”Ports”> (2b) Select a Serial Port menu, as appropriate for the serial port connected to the MODBUS network. (2c) Configure the basic communication parameters for that serial port, as shown in Table 2. (Some localised menu navigation is required to find the parameter screen.) 3. Configure entries in the Gould List (3a) Navigate to this menu: <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameters”>/<”Communications”>/<”MODBus slave”> (3b) Select this menu: <“Gould list”> (3c) Configure each list entry, as guided in Table 3. Start with configuring Entry 1, then configure Entry 2, and so forth. Avoid skipping an entry, since the list is terminated by a location ID of 0. (End of instructions) The MODBUS Master can read and write to the Gould Registers.

To avoid the risk of flow computer restarts, it is advisable to pre-set the signalling standard – RS-232 or RS-485 – for 795x serial ports before establishing the physical connections.

* The on-screen parameter descriptor includes a digit to identify the associated serial port. ** A 795x may perform ‘warm restarts’ if it is configured to be “RS 232” when it should be “RS 485”. *** Parameter is not applicable to Serial Port One since it is for RS-232 devices only. Abbreviations used: “P” = Port, “reg” = register, “addr” = address, “char” = character, “MODB” = MODBUS

Table 3: Gould List Entry Parameters (Locations) Parameter * (Database Location) List1 Gould reg List1 mapped loc **

Instructions and Comments Enter a numeric address for the Gould Register e.g. 40001. Enter the unique identification number (Loc ID) of the parameter (location) to be mapped to the Gould Register.

List1 Word Offset

If using multiple register access and mapped parameter has a 32-bit/64-bit value, select the 16-bit segment of the value to be accessed.

List1 scale factor

If the 16-bit data is a floating-point number, it can be scaled into an integer (x10, x100 or x1000) just before transmission to the MODBUS Master. Similarly, it can be de-scaled before saving it.

Factory Default Setting 0 Off “Word Offset 0”

“No scaling”

* The on-screen parameter descriptor includes a number to identify the list entry. ** Entering a valid location number will immediately result in the number changing to the parameter descriptor. Editing a location number for a parameter that does not exist is responded to with a “** ERROR **” message appearing briefly, and the original setting is then restored. Abbreviation used: “reg” = register, “loc” = location

7C.3 Guided Examples This section is a practical guide to accessing Gould Registers of a 795x MODBUS Slave through the Gould List feature. What to do here: 1.

Ensure that the 795x Flow Computer is suitably configured as guided in Section 7C.2.

2.

Follow examples from Table 4 or Table 5. In the examples, MODBUS message sequences aim to show the how to read from Gould Registers and write to Gould Registers. Every example features an objective, an action and a result Objective(s) For an example, the objective could be to read a 16-bit parameter value. Action(s) Actions consist of one or more MODBUS protocol commands. They are represented in this documentation as tabulated hexadecimal values in sequence for transmission by the Master device. Expected responses from the 795x MODBUS slave device are also shown as tabulated values. Table 6 is a list of all the abbreviations of meanings that can appear with a sequence. Use them to distinguish the important elements of the message. Result This is a brief analysis of the MODBUS slave response to an action. Note: Values are communicated in base units, which may not be the same as the displayed units – see Table 7.

‘INTELLIGENT TRANSMITTER’ MONITOR (CHAPTER 7 ADDENDUM D)

Chapter 7D: Intelligent Instrument Monitor

Software Version 25x0, Issue 4.20 (or higher)

Chapter 7D ‘Intelligent’ Transmitter Monitor 7D.1 Overview Chapter 7D is a guide to accessing process variables and diagnostic data from an ‘intelligent’ transmitter. The transmitter must have a communication port that supports RS-485 MODBUS® communications. Data read or written by the 795x Flow Computer can be in integer or floating-point format. When a floatingpoint value is read, it can be ‘forwarded’ to user-specified target parameter (database location). In addition to this forwarding process, a floating-point value can be automatically re-scaled into alternative units. ® The monitoring feature operates with ‘intelligent’ transmitters, such as the Micro Motion Series 2000 (multivariable) digital transmitter (liquid) and Daniel Senior Sonic™ flow meter (gas). ® In the case of the Micro Motion digital transmitter, it may require some pre-configuring. This is explained in Section 7D.2, along with a step-by-step procedure.

7D.1.1

Transmitter Monitor features Features: x

Monitor on/off selection switch

x

Polling method selection

x

Support for accessing registers in Message Blocks, as used by Daniel Senior Sonic™ flow meter

x

Input alarm, “Modb fail slv” raised upon occurrence of communication error or time-out ** * An Input alarm, “Modb bad target”, is raised if target parameter is not in fixed list of parameters (Table 1, page 7D-4). ** The alarm message includes slave identification number (1-16) and activity (“R” – read failed or “W” – write failed).

7D.1.2

Where is the Transmitter Monitor in the 795x menu system? Figure 1 (below) shows how to navigate from the MAIN MENU to the TRANSMITTER MONITOR menu, and includes the keypad strokes needed to arrive at the menu. Apart from this menu, basic details of a 795x serial port must also be configured. The menus for this task are located in the COMMUNICATIONS menu.

Monitor On/Off Switch options are “Enable” or “Disable”. x

“Enable” – switches the Monitor on

x

“Disable” – switches the Monitor off

Monitor Polling Polling method options are “Optmize” (factory default) or “1 poll/reg”: x

“Optmize” – monitor will read registers at successive addresses in single poll

x

“1 poll/reg” – monitor will read a single register at a time, working through listed registers one-by-one

The factory default setting for the interval between polling is 2.0 seconds. This can be edited to be any period you require in whatever time units are selectable (seconds, minutes, hours, etc). If a value of 0.0 is entered, the polling is constant, but could affect cycle times.

Message Block List The Daniel Senior Sonic™ transmitter is different to the Micro Motion® transmitter because it has registers grouped into blocks. In the operation manual for models 3400/3410/3420 (April 1998), there are 32 blocks of registers. Each block has a particular purpose and features multiple registers. For example, there is a Message Block 12 that has registers 350 - 398 for reading 48 calculation results, all floating-point values. On the 795x Flow Computer, the 795x Message Block List will allow read or write access to any part of any Message Block on the Daniel transmitter. Each entry in the list comprises parameters to detail an access: x

Start register – address of first register in Daniel Message Block (e.g. 350, for Message Block 12)

x

Byte size – enter size of Daniel Message Block in bytes: ((End register - Start register +1) x 2)

x

Number of items – enter quantity of registers that equate to a full value

As an example, consider reading register 392 (flow rate) from Daniel Message Block 12. The details to set-up on the 795x Flow Computer are as follows: 1. Edit an entry in the Floating-point Register List x

Value – Ensure status is “Live” to see raw flow rate value from transmitter. *

x

Slave device – Select a MODBUS Slave Device record for the transmitter (see Section 7D.1.4)

x

Register address – Not applicable when accessing Daniel Message Blocks.

x

Message block – Select “Message Block 12”

x

Byte offset – Select register to be accessed, 392, by entering an offset = (392 - 350) x 2 = 84

x

Target location – Not applicable for this example.

x

Unit – Not applicable for this example.

x

Scaling factor – Not applicable for this example. * When a value is “Set”, the value is written to the register. However, if the register is read-only, as in this case, the Daniel transmitter will accept it but the register value will simply not be changed.

How to set-up a Slave Device record A part of setting up the Transmitter Monitor is selecting a Slave Device record. The Slave Device record informs the 795x Flow Computer (MODBUS Master) of what MODBUS slave it is going to be talking to and what communication settings it requires. Figure 3 (below) shows how to navigate from the MAIN MENU to the SLAVE DEVICES menu, with the keypad strokes needed to arrive at the menu. With the 795x Flow Computer acting as the MODBUS Master, as in this case, a MODBUS Slave Device record must be detailed as follows: x

Device function – Select “Transmitter” option.

x

Port number – Select the 795x serial port connected to the transmitter.

x

Slave device address – Enter numerical MODBUS address of the transmitter.

x

Word ordering – Keep “Modbus default” (factory default), unless transmitter requires Word swap.

x

Precision – Select “single” if accessing floating-point values that are 32-bit or “double” if 64-bit.

x

Slave MODBUS commands – Select ‘Offset’ or ‘Full’ addressing method, as appropriate for transmitter.

x

Other record details are not applicable.

7D.2 Preparing a Micro Motion® digital transmitter The following procedure is for preparing a Micro Motion® digital transmitter, Series 2000 multivariable, for ® MODBUS digital communications with the 795x Flow Computer. This procedure requires a serial cable, a RS232/RS485 converter and Micro Motion’s ProLink II TM transmitter configuration software on a PC. Note: Installation, operation, maintenance, etc. and safety instructions for the transmitter are outside the scope of this supplement and Flow Computer literature. For these details, refer to product literature of the transmitter. In addition, PC requirements for running ProLink II TM are outside the scope of this supplement and Flow Computer literature. Since the Series 2000 transmitter has a universal service port that supports other communication ® protocols, it must be configured to enable RS-485 MODBUS communications. In addition to enabling this protocol, the baud rate must be changed from 38400 to 19200. (The minimum for the transmitter is 1200.) Procedure: 1.

Using a suitable cable and a RS232/RS485 converter, interconnect the PC port (e.g. COM1) to terminals 7 and 8 on the transmitter via the converter. RS485 Converter Pin No: 2 7

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

8. Alarms and Events 8.1 Alarms 8.1.1 Alarm types The types of alarms which are detected and recorded are: System alarms, caused by one or more of: x x x x x

Power failure Battery low (if a battery is fitted) Watchdog RAM checksum failure ROM checksum failure.

Input alarms, caused by one or more of: x x x

Failure of analogue inputs Failure of density transducers Incorrect data has been entered.

Limit alarms, caused by one or more of: x x

Limits which you have set Limits defined by the system.

These always result in two alarms - one when the change first happens and another when the system returns to its normal state.

8.1.2 Alarm indicators The 795x has three LED indicators (one each for Input, System and Limit Alarms) to show alarm status. Ö Each alarm indicator can be in one of three states: Off

The system is working normally.

Flashing

An alarm has been received but has not yet accepted.

On

been

All alarms has been accepted but not yet cleared. The conditions which caused the alarms in the first place may still exist.

SYSTEM ALARM

INPUT ALARM

LIMIT ALARM

Alarm indicators on the front panel

8.1.3 How alarms are received and stored When a new alarm is received, the appropriate indicator LED on the front panel starts flashing. If the indicator is already flashing because of a previous alarm, it continues to do so. If the indicator is already ON (steady), it starts to flash. Information about alarms is stored in two logs: x

The Alarm Status Display

This gives: (1) a summary of the contents of the Historical Alarm Log (2) an indication of the current status of the system.

x

The Historical Alarm Log

This contains an individual entry for every alarm stored in the log.

795x 2510 (Ch08/BB)

Page 8.1

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

The Historical Alarm Log can store up to 30 entries. When a new alarm is received, one of two things can happen: If the Historical Alarm Log is NOT full : An entry for the new alarm is simply added to the list. If the Historical Alarm Log is full : It depends on how the system is set up: Either (1) the oldest entry is deleted and the new one is added to the top of the list, or (2) the new alarm is discarded. In either case, the Status Display is updated automatically.

8.1.4 Examining the Alarm Status Display and Historical Alarm Log Press the INFORMATION button If you want to examine the Alarm Status Display or the Historical Alarm Log. x

To bring up the Alarm Status Display, select the Alarm Summary option.

8.1.5 What the Alarm Status Display tells you A typical Alarm Status Display is shown in the Figure 8.1.1. The display lists, for each type of alarm (System, Input or Limit), the number of alarms which are live and new. x x

New alarms are alarms which have been received but not yet accepted. Live alarms are alarms which refer to conditions which are still active.

An example of a live alarm is when there is a fault in the system. This produces two alarms - one when the fault first occurs (‘ON’) and the second when it is put right (‘Off’). If only the first alarm of the pair has been received, the alarm is said to be live because the condition still exists.

Page 8.2

795x 2510 (Ch08/BB)

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

The number of live alarms tells you how many faults are still active. If you look at the Historical Alarm Log this tells you more about these faults.

8.1.6 What the entries in the Historical Alarm Log tell you The diagram, below, shows the function of the relevant keys, and what is on the display. Figure 8.1.2: A typical entry in the log

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Description of alarm. 13. Scroll UP through the alarm entries. 14. Clear all alarm entries.

Each alarm has its own entry in the Historical Alarm Log which tells you: x

Type of alarm Whether it is a System alarm, Input alarm or Limit alarm and if the alarm is ‘on’ or ‘off’.

x

Extra identifier for the alarm This is not always shown for every entry but, where it is shown, it could be one of the following: x

A digit

This indicates the channel number on which the fault occurred.

x

A letter

H and L are for high and low Limit alarms, S is for a step alarm.

x

Date and time The date is in the format DD-MM-YY and the time HH:MM:SS. These are entered automatically by the system when the alarm is received. The time is accurate to within one second.

x

Acceptance indication This is only shown for those entries which have not been accepted. When the entry is accepted, the indicator disappears.

x

Other entries indication An up-arrow symbol shows that there are entries before the present one, a down-arrow symbol shows that there are others after. If the entry currently shown is first in the list, there is no up-arrow. If it is last, there is no down-arrow.

x

Description of the alarm This is an abbreviated description of the alarm and should be sufficient to help you trace the cause of the problem. A full list of all alarm messages and what they mean, are listed on page 8.3.

8.1.7 Clearing all entries in the Historical Alarm Log To clear all the alarm entries in the Historical log, press the CLR key. This clears all entries in the Historical Alarm Log, zeroes the entries in the Status Display and sets all LED indicators to OFF.

8.2 Events 8.2.1 Introduction to 795X events The 795X keeps a record of important system changes in an Event Log. This is very similar, in concept, to the alarm log, but the nature of the information kept is different. Event details that can be viewed in the event log: x x

Changes to the status of pre-determined† data that affects calculations Changes to the value of data pre-determined data that affects calculations.

Event details that can be seen only in a printout of the event log: x x

Messages from hardware diagnostics Download of a configuration completed.

8.2.2 Event indicators Unlike alarms, there are no event indicators on the front panel of the 795x.

8.2.3 How events are received and stored Information about events is stored in two logs: x

Event Status Display

This gives: (1) a summary of the contents of the Historical Event Log (2) an indication of the current status of the system.

x

Historical Event Log

This contains an individual entry for every event stored in the log.

There is enough room, in the historical event log, to store up to 150 event records. When a new event is received, one of two things can happen: If the event log is NOT full : A new event record is simply added If the event log is full : The event configuration data, Event full action, has two options, “Replace” and “Ignore”, for determining how to deal with a new event when the event log is full. (See Table 8.2.1)

Table 8.2.1: Event Full Action - Available Options <Event full action> Option Replace Ignore

Purpose of Option Always overwrite the oldest event in the event log Always discard a new event when the event log is full

Note: The default action is “Replace”

†

This can not be changed. The list of auditable data is fixed.

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

8.3 Enhanced Auditing There is an optional enhanced auditing facility for recording user initiated changes to the 795x Flow Computer software parameters that have an influence on the metering results. This enhanced feature is the result of an essential requirement from North Sea Practices and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). This feature allows a 795x series Flow Computer to continuously monitor and report on changes to existing SET values, changes to option selections and changes to several parameter attributes (value status and individual audit control settings). The facility will report changes by recording Audit User Events and Audit System Alarms that will enable the back-calculation of fiscal values and account for changes that have occurred.

8.3.1 Audit User Events All generated events are stored in the Historical Event Log, as fully explained in Section 8.2. Audit events are either sub-classed as “USER” triggered or “AUTO” triggered. An example of a “USER” event is the act of manually changing a software parameter status to be “SET” instead of “LIVE”. An example of an “AUTO” triggered event is the 795x automatically changing a software parameter status to “Fail” when a live input source fails. Every event has a date and time for the occurrence, an on-screen location descriptor and a summary of the change. This information is divided into four pages, as seen in Figure 8.3.1. Use the ARROW keys, as shown, to navigate around the pages. To enable Audit User Events… x x x x x

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

8.3.2 Audit System Alarms All generated alarms are stored in the Historical Alarm Log, as fully explained in Section 8.1. Auditing Control alarms are sub-classed as “SYSTEM” alarms. An Audit Control alarm is normally raised whenever the value status attribute of a parameter is changed to “Set”. This alarm entry can be identified visually with the word “ON” on the first display line. A subsequent value status change, from “SET” to “LIVE”, to “FB” or to “FAIL” will then raise a matching system alarm. That matching alarm entry can be identified visually with the word “OFF” on the first display line. To enable Audit System Alarms… x

8.3.3 Audit Control Attributes Each 795x Flow Computer software parameter has two independent, programmable attributes for adjusting how the auditing of it operates. Adjustments can be determined either by the 795X (in automatic mode) or by the user (in manual mode). Select a method by editing the multiple-choice list of the <”Auditing attrib ctrl”> parameter page, located within the <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameter”> menu.

By default, Audit Control attributes are not accessible in the menu system. To make them accesible, follow these steps: x x x

Naviage to the menu <”Configure”>/<”Other parameters”>/<”DB attributes”> Locate the menu data page with “Attribute display” Select “On” from the multiple-choice option list

Note: This action also automatically enables the auditing control functions (if not already enabled by the software parameters and <”Audit unactive locs”>).

Figure 8.3.4 shows where to find Audit Control attributes. Navigate to any parameter page and then use the DOWN-ARROW and UP-ARROW key switch between pages.

795x 2510 (Ch08/BB)

Page 8.17

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

The programmable attributes are:

1. Auditing Event Suppression Control (Audit/No Audit) When the automatic mode is in use… Critical “USER” events, such as a “LIVE” to “SET” status change, are never suppressed. They always appear in the Historical Event Log. Less critical “USER” events, such as a valve command selection, can be suppressed by editing the attribute setting to be “No Audit”. However, be aware that the 795x Flow Computer can, by default, automatically override and change the setting under certain conditions. There is a logic table for this in the “Audit Event Suppression Control” section on the next page. Note: An “AUTO” (795X triggered) event is never suppressed. When the default manual mode is in use… A “USER” event can be suppressed by editing the attribute setting to be “No Audit”.

2. Auditing Alarm Suppression Control (Alarm/No Alarm) When the automatic mode is in use… The “SET” audit alarm can be suppressed by editing the attribute setting to be “No Alarm”. However, be aware that the 795x Flow Computer can, by default, automatically override and change the setting under certain conditions. There is a logic table for this in the “Audit Alarm Suppression Control” section on the next page. When the default manual mode is in use… The “SET” audit alarm can be suppressed by editing the attribute setting to be “No Alarm”.

There is a third attribute on the same page, which can also be edited. This is the security level (e.g. “Engineer”) that is required to make changes to the software paramater. The parameter <"Secure all locations"> results in the required security level of all parameters being set to programmer, except those that are “super user”.

Security levels are as explained in Chapter 11. The exception to this is the “Super User” security level, which is not selectable and is not attainable by anyone apart from the 795x Flow Computer itself. Note: The existing setting for each Audit Control attribute is displayed within the menu system and is also available for retrieval by an external Modbus networked device. (See Chapter 7)

Chapter 8 Alarms and Events

8.3.4 Audit Event Suppression Control: Automatic Mode Under automatic mode, adjustments to the setting of the Audit Event Suppression Control attribute are in accordance with a built-in logic table. Table 8.3.1 shows: (a) the impact on the “Audit” or “No Audit” setting when using the front panel keyboard (or Modbus protocol communications) to manipulate the value status of a software parameter. (b) when a “USER” event is generated as the result of a user initiated action. (c) when an “AUTO” event is generated as the result of a 795X initiated action. Automatic mode is selected by editing the multiple-choice list of the <”Attribute control”> parameter page, located within the <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameters”>/<”Db attributes”> menu.

Read Table Note A

Table Notes: A

A “USER” event is generated for a “SET” to “LIVE” action by the user. An “AUTO” event is generated for the “Live” to “FB” action by the 795X.

B

Selecting an alternative unit of measurement (for display) is recorded as a “USER” event even with a “No Audit” setting.

C

An event is recorded for all user initiated changes to the “No Audit” or “Audit” setting. Table 8.3.2 shows if an event is logged when a user makes changes to the “No Audit” or “Audit” setting without changing the value or value status.

D

Status changes that are not possible: “FB to Fail” and “Fail to FB”

E

Changing a ‘Set’ value to another ‘Set’ value is always recorded as a “USER” event. Table 8.3.3 shows if an event is recorded when the value status (e.g. “SET”) is not changed but the value does change or an option is selected from a multiple-choice list.

8.3.5 Audit Alarm Suppression Control: Automatic Mode Under automatic mode, adjustments to the setting of the Audit Alarm Suppression Control attribute are in accordance with a built-in decision table. Table 8.3.4 shows: (a)

the impact on the “Alarm” or “No Alarm” setting when using the front panel keyboard (or a Modbus protocol command) to manipulate the value status.

(b)

when an “ON” flagged SYSTEM alarm is raised as the result of a user initiated action.

(c)

when an “OFF” flagged SYSTEM alarm is raised as the result of a user initiated action.

Automatic mode is selected by editing the multiple-choice list of the <”Attribute control”> parameter page, located within the <”Configure”>/<”Other Parameters”>/<”Db attributes”> menu.

The 795x will also raise a matching “ON” alarm if one does not already exist in the Historical Alarm Log. This is normal and allows the system alarm to be cleared in the normal manner.

B

The 795x will raise a matching “OFF” alarm if the Audit Alarm Suppression Control setting is then changed to “No Alarm”. This is matching alarm is normal and allows the system alarm to be cleared in the normal manner.

C

The 795x will raise an ordinary Live INPUT alarm with an “ON” flag.

D

The 795x will raise an ordinary Live INPUT alarm with an “OFF” flag. This alarm can be cleared in the normal manner.

Feature: Archiving

9.1.1

Introduction The 795x series can perform data logging to generate historical records – archives - of parameter data. The archived data can be retrieved on-demand and displayed within the menu system. It can also be printed out as a report and retrieved by MODBUS (protocol) networked devices. Values from user-selected parameters can be statistically prepared (e.g. average, maximum, etc.) according to user requirements. Statistical results are recorded at intervals that are defined by the type of data logging. Each logging type has a separate archive with a 20-parameter capacity and the ability to keep statistics from the past. There are five types of data logging available:

1. Interval Statistical results are automatically recorded in an “Interval Log” archive at a user-selected time-span. An interval can be as short as a 795X machine cycle or as long as twelve hours. A user-selected date and time marks the start of the very first interval.

2. Daily Statistical results are automatically recorded in a “Daily Log” archive at the same time each day (i.e. 24-hour intervals). A user-selected date and time marks the start of the very first 24-hour period.

3. Manual Statistical results are recorded in a “Manual Log” archive only when triggered manually from the front panel or over serial communications. The beginning of this variable time-span occurs on enabling this type of data logging.

4. Alarm Statistical results are recorded in an “Alarm Snapshot Log” archive whenever an alarm is raised or is removed. (This is separate from the Alarm History log). The beginning of this variable time-span occurs on enabling this type of data logging.

5. Batch Transaction Batching data is automatically recorded in a “batch” archive every time a transaction is completed. This type of archiving does not need any configuring apart from adjustments to the archive size. Chapter 18 is dedicated to Batching. Note that the “Statistical information” section (starting on page 9.2) and “configuring details” section (starting on page 9.8) do not apply to batch transaction archiving. All the types can operate in parallel if required. The size of an archive is finite but flexible enough to allow re-sizing by hand. Re-sizing actions cause all previously recorded values to be lost forever and should be done prior to data logging commencing. Archives can be selectively viewed on screen and printed out as a report. Printouts of reports can also occur automatically after new statistical results have been archived. Associated parameters (database locations) can be manipulated or retrieved by MODBUS networked device.

Important notice! The two sections that follow should be read and understood before embarking on the configuration task. It is also advisable to try out at least one of the worked examples.

9.1.2

Statistical Information The following statistical options are available you…

1.

Average This calculates the average of a parameter value sampled every 795X machine cycle. The resulting average is ready for whenever it is to be recorded to an archive.

2.

Difference This calculates the difference between the latest sampled parameter value and the result that was last copied to an archive. A result is ready for whenever it is to be recorded to an archive.

3.

Maximum This results in the largest sampled parameter value (since that last archived statistic) being copied to an archive.

4.

Minimum This results in the smallest sampled parameter value (since that last archived statistic) being copied to an archive.

5.

None This results in the very latest sampled parameter value being copied to an archive.

9.1.3

Analysis of an archive This section explains: x x

archive space and how it can change how new statistical data is added to an archive

Archive space and how it changes Each archive has a default amount of memory space in the 795x. The initial amount is the same for each archive. Dimensions for archive memory space are in terms of depth and width. x

Depth

Depth corresponds to the quantity of parameter values that can be kept.

x

Width

Width corresponds to the total number of bytes required to store a single value from every nominated parameter. (See Table 9.1.1)

Table 9.1.1: Bytes Required for all Database Location Types Width (bytes)

Data Type

1

Selection code for an option descriptor in a multiple-choice list

4

A database location without a status attribute (i.e. Set or Free) where the value (e.g. 1.25) is automatically generated by a measurement task. This does not include totals.

5

A data location with a status attribute (i.e. Set or Free) where the value (e.g. 1.25) may be generated by a measurement task.

8

Totals only. For example, Indicated Volume Flow Total

16

Dates and/or times.

21

Text only.

Available memory space for increasing the size of an archive can be viewed by pressing the PRINT MENU key and then selecting the menu: <“Archives”>/<“Re-size archives”>/<“Spare arch. memory”>. It is very important to carefully plan the set-up of all archive space before data logging commences. Otherwise, be prepared for inevitable data loss when making changes or setting up other archives at a later stage.

Interval Archiving Notes: 1. The interval type of data logging operates independently of the other types. 2. Intervals are always synchronised to the 795x calendar clock. For example, a 10-second interval will first occur on the minute rollover and then re-occur every multiple of 10 seconds. An interval start time that is not divisible by the interval will effectively be delayed to the next multiple of the interval. 3. Some or all values could be lost if a power failure occurs while they are being logged. The data logging will re-synchronise to the calendar clock after the re-start.

Re-sizing Archive Space

Important notices! 1. Adding a parameter to a data logging list causes all recorded statistics to be immediately lost from the associated target archive. Other archives are not affected by this. 2. Removing a parameter from a data logging list causes all recorded data to be immediately lost from the associated target archive. Other archives are not affected by this. 3. Increasing or decreasing space will result in all recorded data being lost from all archives.

Re-size Instructions:

1. Press the PRINT-MENU key 2. Navigate to this menu: <“Archives”>/<“Re-size archives”> 3. Check how much spare archive memory is available Note: If the spare archive memory is reported as 0 bytes and archiving has not been in use, format the archives and then re-check the reported value

4. Re-size archives according to your requirements x

The following are ‘re-size’ menus:(1) “Alarm log” – Alarm Trigger Archive re-sizing (2) “Manual log” – Manual Trigger Archive re-sizing (3) “Daily log” – Daily Archive resizing (4) “Interval log” – Interval Archive resizing (5) “Transactions log” – Batch Archive re-sizing

Each ‘re-size’ menu features two menu data pages. One menu data page is for requesting an increase or decrease to the depth – i.e. the maximum number of values per parameter that can be presently stored in the associated archive. The other menu data page shows the maximum number allowed at present.

Operation details (Reporting) Operations involve selective viewing and printing out of the archives.

Viewing Archives Recorded values can be viewed on the 795x display. No configuration is required for this feature. Follow the self-contained instructions that are provided below.

How to view the Interval Archive

1. Navigate to this menu: <“Archives”>/<”View / print logs”>/<”Interval trig log”> 2. Find out if data has been recorded in the archive by selecting the “Num snaps stored” menu option. The menu data page shows how many values (per parameter) are available from previous elapsed intervals.

3. There are menu data pages (database locations) for displaying a previously recorded value for every listed (nominated) parameter. For example, the value of the first nominated parameter is found in the “Intvl snap value 1” menu data location. By default, the most recently recorded values from the last interval can be seen. The “Select snapshot” menu option is for selecting another elapsed interval. For example, snapshot ‘1’ is for showing the oldest interval of recorded values. Selecting a ‘snapshot’ that does not yet exist will always cause all the most recent recorded values to be selected and then displayed.

4. The date and time, of when the presently displayed statistics were recorded, can be seen by selecting “View snapshot time” option.

How to view the Daily Archive

1. Navigate to this menu: <“Archives”>/<”View / print logs”>/<”Daily log”> 2. Find out if data has been recorded in the archive by selecting the “Num snaps stored” menu option. The menu data page shows how many values (per parameter) are available from previous 24-hour periods.

Feature: PID Control Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) is a control algorithm for efficiently attaining and then maintaining a LIVE measurement parameter at a user-supplied target (or ‘set-point’) value. PID control is available for controlling one measurement parameter.

WARNING! EXPERT KNOWLEDGE OF PID IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE USE OF THIS FEATURE 9.2.1

Overview Closed-loop PID Control The implemented PID algorithm will continuously check on the difference between a target (‘set-point’) measurement value and the latest LIVE value of a nominated measurement. Whenever the difference is unacceptable, an adjustment – to narrow the difference - is derived from a three-term equation, as seen below. A calculated adjustment value – or PID output value - is checked against any enabled safeguards before being made available in a database location. Once the PID output value is freely available, it can be transmitted to an external system through any analogue output. That action should result a process change to narrow the difference. This routine is repeated every cycle until the difference is within acceptable limits.

Notes:

(1) Variables K c , K i and K d can be edited through pages within the 795x menu system. (2) In practice, the first order difference term, (e(i) - e(i-1)), is very susceptible to noise problems. In most practical systems this term is replaced by the more stable, higher order equation: 'e = ( e(i) + 3*e(i-1) - 3*e(i-2) - e(i-3) ) / 6

Page 9.18

795x Op Man/DB

Chapter 9 Additional facilities Open-loop PID Control With this method, the aim is for the PID output value itself to be driven towards a user-supplied target (set-point) output value. The measurement ‘set-point’ has no purpose.

Whenever there is a calculated difference, an adjustment – to narrow the difference - is derived from the threeterm equation seen earlier. However, the calculated ‘error’ terms are based on the difference between the “LIVE” PID output value and a “SET” target (user) PID output value. The calculated adjustment value – PID output value - is checked against two safeguards before being made available in a database location. Once the PID output value is freely available, it can be transmitted to an external system through any analogue output. That action should result a process change to gradually narrow the difference. This routine is repeated every cycle until the difference is within acceptable limits.

x

Check on the idle system time to see if the cycle time needs to be increased. [MENU: <”Time”>]

Configure a live analogue output to transmit a PID output value During every machine cycle, the analogue output will need to transmit a PID output value to whatever external system can initiate a process change (e.g. a valve controller increasing flow). The PID output value is either: x

an adjustment for the “LIVE” measurement to reach a target (set-point) measurement value or

x

an adjustment for the PID output value itself to reach a target (set-point) value, also indirectly affecting the “LIVE” measurement. [Note: The measurement set-point is not used in this case]

Notes: (for Menu Data List 9.2.1) A By default, this configuration parameter is usually programmed with the database location ID of the parameter <“PID Setpoint”>. However, any database location with a floating-point value could be identified - programmed in - as the parameter supplying the set-point (target) value. An input alarm is raised if the ‘value’ of the identified ‘set-point’ parameter is not a floating-point value. PID control is then temporarily deactivated until the alarm is clearable when a more suitable parameter is identified. B

This configuration parameter must be programmed with the database location ID of the measurement parameter that is to be controlled. It must be a parameter with a floating-point value. An input alarm is raised if the ‘value’ attribute of the measurement parameter is not a floating-point data type. PID is then temporarily deactivated until the alarm is clearable when a suitable parameter is identified.

The “Simple Error” option will calculate the ‘error’ as simply the difference between the setpoint value and the measurement value. However, the “Complex Error” option will provide a more stable ‘error’ value. The error is derived from the following expression: 'e = (e(i) + 3*e(i-1) - 3*e(i-2) - e(i-3) ) / 6

F:2 For the open-loop method you need to SET a value for the <”PID User Output”> parameter. The status of the <”PID Output”> parameter must be “LIVE”. G

Set-up any analogue output to transmit a value of the <”PID Output”> parameter. This database location ID is 1288. Configure the analogue output to utilise the ‘user parameter’ option. Refer to Chapter 11 for applicable configuration reference pages. Analogue output connections are as guided in Chapter 2.

9.2.3

Ramp-limit Safeguard Many systems implement a limiter on the maximum rate of change to the PID output value. This has a similar effect to an engine rev-limiting device. However, this PID safeguard prevents physical devices from being damaged through unnecessary adjustments. The ramp-limit is specified in degrees, representing the angle the output makes with the horizontal on a graph. The time axis resolution is therefore critical to the significance of this parameter. A limit of zero degrees would make output ramping impossible and a limit of 90 degrees or greater would allow maximum ramping. With the open-loop PID control method, the ramp-limit checks are mandatory and are applied every cycle. However, programming a zero degree angle will inhibit this safeguard.

Anti-Reset-Windup Safeguard Practical systems stop the summation of error terms if the PID output value is outside a user-specified boundary. This limiting of the error summation is commonly referred to as Anti-reset-windup (ARW). When ARW is enabled, ARW limiting is applied to every output value from the PID calculation before it is saved in the 795x database. The ARW limit boundary is specified as a low and high percentage of the full-scale (maximum) PID output value. With the open-loop PID control method, the ARW boundary checks are mandatory and are applied every cycle. However, a zero percent boundary will inhibit ARW limiting. Figure 9.2.3 demonstrates ARW in action, complemented with example settings as shown in Table 9.2.1.

Chapter 10 Configuring by using Wizards

10. Configuring using Wizards 10.1 Introduction to Wizards Mobrey recommends that you use software Wizards to configure the 795x for your installation. Wizards are easy to use facilities that will take a user through all the data locations and decisions that are required to satisfy the requirements of a measurement task. There are individual wizards available for each measurement task. For example there is a “Pressure” wizard for configuring line pressure and atmospheric pressure. To fully configure a 795X, it is very likely that several measurement tasks are required and, therefore, several wizards will need to be used. It is often more efficient to use a “full set-up” wizard. This wizard can guide users through setting up more than measurement task. Section 10.3 has a “Quick-view” guide (table) for finding out what wizards are available and what can be achieved with them. Section 10.4 features a special wizard for selecting a standard for units of measurement.

10.2 Using Wizards Although wizards are easy to use, some preparation is still required. Use the following check-list to prepare. Ensure that: x

All physical connections to the rear panel have been completed. If this is not the case, refer to Chapter 2 (Getting Started) and Chapter 3 (About the 795X) for details of supported connections.

x

Front panel keyboard buttons and the menu system are familiar. Chapters 5 and 6 are provided to assist with this. It might be a good idea to bookmark the summary of keys in Chapter 5 for quick reference.

x

Identification numbers of important result data are written down. These numbers will be required for configuring facilities such as analogue outputs. There are two ways to find out data location numbers:

1

(1)

Examine the “.man” file that is supplied on the FC-Config1 media or

(2)

Locate the data within the menu system and then press the ‘a’ key to display the unique identification number on line 4. (Pressing the ‘a’-key toggles the number display on or off.)

x

Calibration certificates (and supporting data sheets) for all field instrumentation are available.

x

there is a comprehensive list of all the 795x input and output connections that are being used and a list of the measurement tasks that are required.

Starting a Wizard from the front panel is easy. Follow these instructions: Step 1: Press the MAIN-MENU key. Step 2: Use the DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through pages until the “Configure” option appears. Step 3: Press the blue key that is alongside the “Configure” option. Step 4: Press the ‘a’-key twice so that “Setup Wizard” appears on line one of the display. Do not worry about what line two is presently displaying. Step 4: Press the ‘b’-key once to start the wizard selection process. Step 5: Use the DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through all available wizards (on line two). Step 6: Press the ENTER key twice to select and then start a wizard that was named is on-screen. Once a Wizard is started, follow the prompts to supply the information it asks for and then, if necessary, use Chapter 11 and the menu system to edit the resulting configuration to match your exact needs. Wizard interactions involve several keys: a, b, c ,d keys

Answer a question (e.g. “Yes” or “No”) or used for normal data location editing

ENTER key

Confirm a selection or edited setting (e.g. new value), move on to next prompt

< key

Go back to a previous important decision prompt.

After completing a Wizard, the screen with “Setup Wizard” re-appears. Further wizards can then be selected in the same way as before. Note that it is not necessary for the “None” option to be selected before proceeding to other 795X work.

11. Configuring without using Wizards 11.1

What does this Chapter tell me? This Chapter is a configuration reference for those who are reasonably experienced with configuring a 795x series computer. It is also useful for those who provide technical support. It is primarily organised for a structured approach to configuring - the live inputs, the calculations and the live outputs - after the first power-on with V2510 software installed. For those of you in a support role, a ‘quick-find’ index is provided. Use the index to find the reference pages required for configuring or trouble-shooting a measurement task. If you are not experienced, return to Chapter 10 (Wizards) unless directed here by someone providing support. Not all features are covered in this Chapter. For example, configuring for HART communications and for flowmeter proving is a complex task and therefore kept in separate chapters. There are additional features in Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 18.

Quick-find Index........................................... 11.2 A structured approach to configuring........... 11.3 Reference Page Conventions...................... 11.5 Reference information................................. 11.6+

Rounding Compliance Statement Liquid Flow Computer software complies with the API standard for rounding down the floating-point values of live density and base density referral measurements. The rounding procedure is also applied to all inputs to the referral calculations (e.g. temperature) and auxiliary outputs from the referral calculations (e.g. CTL). Relevant sections in the standard are API 12.2 and API 11.1 VOL X.

By default, rounding is inactive. It can be activated for the next cycle by navigating to the configuration menu and then editing the multiple-choice option. When active, we recommend you change the displayed measurement units of associated parameters to metric units

11.3

A structured approach to configuring Preparation will help ensure that configuration work progresses smoothly. At this stage, it is expected that all the connections have already been made to the 795x Flow Computer. If possible, check on this by asking the relevant authority. Familiarity with the front panel keyboard and menu system is also expected. Work through the preparation and configuration stages that are listed below.

11.3.1 Preparation stage 1. Ensure that all of the information needed is at hand:x

A plan of the pipeline layout.

x

A summary of instrumentation connected to the 795x Flow Computer, providing inputs or expecting outputs. Include the type of logical connections made to the rear panel of the 795x Flow Computer. (e.g. “a mA type pressure transmitter wired to analogue input 3”)

x

Calibration certificates of connected instrumentation

x

Operational data (e.g. minimum and maximum flow rates)

x

A summary of core measurements to be set-up (e.g. flow rates, flow totals, density, etc.) (It may be useful to look in Chapter 3 and browse through this Chapter).

x

Identification numbers of data that is important (This is only for configuring multi-page multi-view and analogue outputs that can require the input of a location number).

x

A plan of what is required from additional features (e.g. Batching, Archiving, etc.) (It may be useful to look in Chapter 9 and browse through this Chapter).

2. Read the information on conventions used. 3. Browse through the rest of this Chapter and see how the reference pages are organised. (End of preparation stage)

11.3.2 Configuration stage 1. Get the 795x Flow Computer into the Programmer security level. (Turn the security key to the far right or type in the “Programmer” password to change security level). 2. Set the display contrast, display formats and the system cycle time. x

Display contrast may be quite dim when first powering on the 795x Flow Computer with new software. Look in the <“configure”>/<“Additional features”> menu for the appropriate menu and then change the setting to suit the environment.

x

Display formats are important when decimal places of results are critical. They are categorised under general headings (e.g. temperature, pressure, etc.). Look in the <“configure”>/<“Additional features”> menu for the appropriate menu and then change the settings if the defaults are not appropriate. Units of measurement can be changed also.

x

The machine cycle time is dependent on how much work the 795x Flow Computer is performing. Examine the idle cycle time indicator in the <“Health Check”> menu to see if the cycle time needs to be increased or decreased.

DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTINGS UNDER THE CALIBRATION MENUS. SETTINGS ARE MADE BY SPECIALIST CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT AT THE FACTORY.

Reference Page Conventions Most reference pages consist of: x x x x

A short bullet-point list of measurements that can be set-up A drawing of the process showing key blocks and how data interacts Menu references A list of menu data associated with the process drawing

Other reference pages consist of a brief explanation but no diagram. Menu references and a list of menu data are always present. Menu reference notation A notation has been used as a much shorter method of explaining how to move from the present menu to another menu. As an example, the notation of <“Configure”>/<“Flow rate”> translates into these steps: Step 1: Press the MAIN-MENU key Step 2: Use the DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through pages until the word “Configure” is seen. Step 3: Press the blue (letter) key that is alongside the word “Configure”. Step 4: Use the DOWN-ARROW key to scroll through pages until the word “Flow rate” is seen. Step 5: Press the blue (letter) key that is alongside the word “Flow rate”. Sometimes, it is convenient to use the MAIN-MENU key (especially if lost). However, use of the BACKARROW key is a much more common method of returning to a menu level. Note: Menus may vary to other software versions and releases.

After each analogue channel is set-up, check that a “Live” reading - a percentage by default - is being displayed by the corresponding menu data page. A “Fail” status indicates an absent or failed transmitter. Later reference pages will expect all instrumentation to be already wired to the 795x and expect there to be a live reading. Configuring a measurement task will then involve setting range (scaling) information and selecting the appropriate analogue channel as the source.

The ‘Meter factor’ (MF) is a single SET value. They may then be updated by a proving session, by product detection or by a MODBUS networked device. Also, see Figure 11.8-2 on page 11.10. (2) “Turbine conversion” The ‘Meter Factor’ (MF) is calculated, once every machine cycle, by a relative error (percentage) correction process. The ‘K-factor’ is a single SET value. They may then be updated by a proving session, by product detection or by a MODBUS networked device. Also, see page 11.11. (3) “4 x (K v Freq)” (Viscosity Corrected Flow) A ‘K-factor’ is interpolated, once every machine cycle, from one of four programmable calibration curves. Curve selection is determined by the present viscosity range. The ‘Meter factor’ (MF) is a SET value. Also, see Figure 11.8-3 on page 11.11 (4) “UCC polynomial” (Viscosity Corrected Flow) The ‘K-factor’ is a single SET value. A ‘Meter Factor” (MF) is calculated, once every machine cycle, using the polynomial equation from Section 3.3.3.2 of the ISO 4124:1994(E) International Standard. Parameters to be programmed into the Flow Computer are the pre-generated factors (a0, a1, etc.) for an established curve fit and the polynomial degree. (Viscosity measurements must also be set-up). This method is for when using some turbines, such as helecoidal two-blade turbine meters, to meter multiproduct oils or meter products where large viscosity variations can occur. Full details of the method are provided in the ISO 4124:1994(E) International Standard. Proving sessions can overwrite either a ‘Meter Factor’ value or the ‘K-factor’ value. It is dependent on how proving is configured and if the prove session is successful. Product detection can also overwrite a ‘Meter Factor’ (MF) value and/or the ‘K-factor’ value – see page 11.74.

C

By default, the Flow Computer calculates and displays live flow rates under a ‘Flow stop’ condition, even when there is negligible flow. However, displayed rates can be forced to zero by selecting the option descriptor with “Zero flow rates”. (Calculations using a flow rate value as an input will always get zero values during ‘Flow stop’)

D

Keep both ‘HI’ and ‘LO’ limits programmed (SET) with a zero value if an alarm limit check is not required.

Figure 11.8-2: ‘K Factor’ v Pulse Frequency Calibration Curve Figure 11.8-2 shows an example of a calibration curve profile with 4 points programmed. The lowest frequency on curve is point (F1, Kf1). This point corresponds to the <“Flow/freq 1”> menu data page value and the <“Error% / Kfactor 1“> menu data page value respectively. Highest frequency on curve is point (F4, Kf4). This point corresponds to <“Flow/freq 4”>, <“Error% / Kfactor 4“>. Point (FM, Kfm) corresponds to a live pulse frequency and a resulting ‘K Factor’. Page 11.10

Figure 11.8-3: 4 x ‘K- factor’ v Pulse Frequency Calibration Curves (Viscosity Corrected Flow)

Quad curve profiles. A curve is selected by checking the metering-run kinematic viscosity value against range limits for each curve. Lowest frequency on curve 1 is point (F1, Kf1). This corresponds to <“Frequency Q1”> menu data and <“Curve 1 K at Q1”> menu data respectively. Highest frequency on curve 1 is point (F5, Kf5). This corresponds to <“Frequency Q5”> menu data and <“Curve 1 K at Q5”> menu data respectively. Point (FM, Kfm) corresponds to a live pulse frequency and a resulting ‘K Factor’ from the selected curve.

For the purpose of this example, C3 is the selected curve with the Meter Kinematic Viscosity value falling in the appropriate range for that curve. The Flow Computer re-checks the range every machine cycle. Hysteresis can be used with the viscosity ranges to avoid frequent switching between two curves.

‘Meter Factor’ from Flow versus Error Percentage Calibration Curve Turbines are supplied with a calibration certificate that describes the actual flow rates against percentage error in readings by a test meter. Table 11.8.1: Example of Certificate Data Flow rate (m3/h) Error %

400 0.11

280 0.17

160 0.06

100 -0.24

The raw data on the certificate has to be turned into turbine corrected values by the Flow Computer. To do this, a single curve profile must be set-up in the following way: Menu Data (as displayed) Meter curve type Meter curve points Flow/freq 1 Flow/freq 2 Flow/freq 3 Flow/freq 4 Error% / Kfactor 1 Error% / Kfactor 2 Error% / Kfactor 3 Error% / Kfactor 4

Value or Option “Turbine conversion” “4 curve points” 100 160 280 400 -0.24 0.06 0.17 0.11

Please note that this is an example and that only data from the calibration certificate of the turbine should be entered into the Flow Computer.

ORIFICE FLOW METERING (ISO 5167-1/AGA3/HART) Notes: (for “Orifice Flow Metering” pages) A

By default, every 'P measurement channel is configured to use the transmitter wired to Analogue Input ‘1’. Reconfigure 'P measurement channels to use other live inputs by editing the source selection menu data. A cell can be connected to any available analogue input or even attached to a HART network loop. If using HART, any unique HART (protocol) address can be given to a cell. (Refer to Chapter 17 for HART coverage) Do not be concerned about the effect of an unused cell input without a “None” option descriptor selected. A selected configuration - cell arrangement - code informs the 795x of the cell inputs to read and processed.

B

Table 11.9.1 shows a selection of configuration codes (option descriptors) for the more likely ‘pay’ and ‘check’ cell arrangements. Other combinations involving 5 cells can be selected. Table 11.9.1: Selection Codes, Cell Arrangements and Pressure Range Switching Configuration Code

Range Selection?

H=DP:1

‘Pay’ Cell #1 - always the primary - covers a high pressure range.

No

H=DP:12

‘Pay’ Cell #1 and ‘Check’ Cell #2 cover exactly the same high range.

No

H=DP:1 L=DP:2

‘Pay’ Cell #1 covers the high range. ‘Pay’ Cell #2 covers the low range.

Yes

H=DP:12 L=DP:3 H=DP1 M=DP2 L=DP3 H=DP:12 L=DP:34 H=DP:1p23 L=DP:4p5

C

Cell Arrangement

Cell #1 (‘Pay’) and Cell #2 (‘Check’) cover exactly the same high range. Cell #3 (‘Pay’) covers the low pressure range. Cell #1 (‘Pay’) used for high pressure range. Cell #2 (‘Pay’) used for medium range. Cell #3 (‘Pay’) used for low pressure range. Cells #1 (‘Pay’) and #2 (‘Check’) cover the high pressure range. Cells #3 (‘Pay’) and #4 (‘Check’) cover the low pressure range. Cells #1 (‘Pay’), #2 (‘Check’) and #3 (‘Check’) cover the high range. Cells #4 (‘Pay’) and #5 (‘Check’) cover the low pressure range.

Yes Yes Yes Yes

‘LO switch’ is a low point marker in terms of a percentage 4 of the presently selected pressure range. A 795x calculated DP value, resulting from this programmed (SET) percentage, is the boundary at which primary use of a ‘pay’ DP Cell is automatically switched to another ‘pay’ DP Cell with a lower range. This switch will provide measurements that are more accurate. ‘HI Switch’ is a high point marker in terms of a percentage of the presently selected pressure range. A 795x calculated DP value, resulting from this programmed (SET) percentage, is the boundary at which primary use of a ‘pay’ DP Cell is automatically switched to another ‘pay’ DP Cell with a higher range. This switch will provide measurements that are more accurate.

D

Optional feature: ‘Calibration error’ (i.e. limit) Checks. x

<“Diff press cal error“> is the alarm limit for the maximum difference in differential pressure measurements between a selected (prime) DP Cell and the next suitable (prime) DP Cell. An alarm is raised if the limit is exceeded for longer than a period as SET by <“Diff press cal time”>. (Not enabled when limit is SET to 0).

E

Deviation refers to difference in differential pressure measurements between ‘Master’ (or ‘Pay’) DP Cell and any ‘Check’ DP Cells.

F

Automatic selection of a ‘higher’ range DP Cell can cause a mA input failure alarm to be raised even though the transmitter has not actually failed. The cause of this alarm is the mA signal from a ‘lower’ range cell exceeding 111% of the 20mA analogue input range as the cell continues to measure beyond it’s effective range. This alarm condition remains until the lower range cell is re-selected. <“DP inputs alarm”> gives the option of suppressing the alarm under this particular situation. By default, there is no suppression.

G

Identifies the range - low, medium or high - of the selected primary ‘pay’ DP Cell. (Read-only data value).

H

The “Reynolds Number” calculation is iterative and requires a previous value for the mass flow rate. This is the reason for showing the mass rate by an Orifice calculation block.

Alternative units, such as particles per million, may be shown on-screen.

The <“Flow status”> page is located within the INFORMATION soft-key menu. It shows if the Flow Computer considers there to be either normal flow or zero flow in the meter-run pipe. x

Flow stop (zero flow) thresholds, such as <“DP flow stop limit”>, are used to force live flow rates to 0 and therefore halt flow totals even when there is negligible flow. <“Flow status”> will show “Flow stopped”. However, negligible flow rate values may still be displayed if enabled by the <“Rate flowstop actions”> menu data.

In the case of an Orifice System, the DP value must be greater than the setting of <“DP flow stop limit”> for normal flow. <“Flow status”> will then show “Flowing”.

CONFIGURATION

CORIOLIS FLOW METERING

Notes: Ensure that the basic configuration information of the live input channel has been completed. A Analogue Input…..….…… Turn to reference page 11.6 HART Input……….……….Turn to Chapter 17 B

This factor location is for converting the Flow Computer scaled mass rate value into units of Kg per hour. By default, the factor has a value of 1.00; this setting assumes that the flowmeter converted the measured mass rate from units of Kg per hour into a mA value.

C

Optional HI and LO alarm limits. Programming the limits with a zero value will avoid maximum and minimum alarm limit checks on the associated measurement.

D

See “Volume Correction Factor” references in the Equation List section. [MENU(3)]

E

A Coriolis mass flow meter is a resonating tube device that will distort proportionately to the rate of fluid mass flowing through it. The relationship of mass flow to the distortion for the meter is characterised to produce a k-factor in pulse/mass or mass/pulse units. The signal output will generally be in the form of a pulse frequency signal, although a current 4-20mA output may also be available. The Coriolis meter may also be configured to output a signal representative of volume. In this case the flow computer will handle the meter signal output in the same way as a single pulse input turbine signal. Unlike turbine signals ‘error checking’, (IP252), will not be carried out on the mass flow input signal. However, similar to the turbine linearisation, the flow computer allows the user to define a mass flow linearisation curve across a flow range. The curve will define the error deviation against flow or K-factor against frequency in terms of mass units. The linearisation calculation will automatically account for mass or volume type units based on the meter type selected by the user during configuration.

F

By default, the 7955 calculates, for display purposes only, the actual live flow rates under a ‘Flow stopped’ condition, even when there is negligible flow. However, display can be forced to show zero flow by selecting the multiple-choice option with “Zero flow rates”. (Calculations using a flow rate will always use a zero value during a “Flow Stop” condition)

G

There following calibration curve options for Coriolis flow metering are supported: (1) Conversion (K v Hz) A ‘K-factor’ is interpolated, once during every machine cycle, from a user-programmable calibration curve. The ‘Meter factor’ (MF) is a fixed (SET) value. A SET MF value can still be updated by a proving session, by product detection, or by a MODBUS networked device. Also, see Figure 11.8-2 on page 11.10. (2) Correction (% v flow”) (Default Option) The ‘Meter factor’ (MF) is calculated, once during every machine cycle, by a relative error (percentage) correction process. The ‘K-factor’ is a fixed (SET) value. They may then be updated by a proving session, by product detection or by a MODBUS networked device. Also, see page 11.11. Proving sessions can overwrite either a ‘Meter factor’ value or the ‘K factor’ value. It is dependent on how proving is configured and if the prove session is successful. (See Chapter 16) Product detection can also overwrite a ‘Meter factor’ (MF) value and/or the ‘K factor’ value.

CONFIGURATION

Notes: A

Indicated Volume measurements are not available when Orifice metering is selected.

B

Missing (or error) pulses are not counted unless the volumetric pulse flowmeter has dual pick-ups wired to the Flow Computer and the pulse input channel is configured accordingly.

C

By default, rollover (to zero) limits are pre-set to a very large number. However, it is advisable to check that the limits are sufficient for the metering application.

D

This optional totaliser parameter is for freezing the flow total whilst there is an active alarm. Also, read note E.

E

The alarm totaliser can be configured to continue totalling of a single parameter whilst there is an active alarm.

F

An increment value is calculated by integrating a parameter value, e.g. flow rate, over time. The result is added to a corresponding total once during every machine cycle. (a) Orifice or Coriolis Flow The time element of the increment calculation is the ‘actual cycle time’. This value is the elapsed time between a flow measurement. It is available for viewing from within the <“Time”> menu. (b) Turbine Flow The time element of the increment calculation is the ‘pulse sample time’ – the period that pulses were accumulated for calculating the present value of the Indicated Volume flow rate. This time value is available for viewing within the <”Health check”> feature menu. Editing an increment value has no effect.

G

There are two flow computer modes to be aware of: 1. Normal-mode In this mode, a standard total (e.g. “Ind volume total”) can increment. The corresponding maintenance-mode total (e.g. “Maint IV total”) will never increment. 2. Maintenance-mode In this mode, a maintenance-mode total can increment. The corresponding standard total will never increment. A mode can be selected only when the flow computer is in a ‘Flow Stopped’ state. For information on how the flow computer can be in a ‘flow stopped’ state, refer to the <”Flow status”> menu data notes on the flow metering pages: Turbine Flow.….. Page 11.9 Orifice Flow….....

Notes: A The “Density” option (value) is for when the density ‘A’ measurement involves a liquid density transducer. Live transducer values will appear in the <“Time period Input 1”> menu data page (location).

The “7827” option (value) is for when the density ‘A’ measurement involves a Mobrey 7827 viscosity analyser. Live 7827 values will appear in the <“Time Period Input 1b”> menu data page (location) instead of the <“Time Period Input 1”> menu data page (location). (Chapter 2 features time period input and analogue input rear panel connections) B

This alarm limit checking can be switched off by setting a large enough density value that will always greater than the difference between density ‘A’ and density ‘B’ measurements.

C

Various combinations of corrections to density can be selected, as shown in Table 11.17.1. Table 11.17.2 then shows the availability of selected corrections when using different types of transducer.

CONFIGURATION

Prime Header Density Re-Selection Procedure In the event of a density input channel (e.g. density ‘A’) failing or returning to a live state, the Flow Computer will perform a re-selection procedure for obtaining a prime density value from an alternative source. This procedure involves evaluating a user-selected logic decision table to determine where now to get the prime value. Table 11.17.3: Logic table for the “Automatic A” configuration option. (Density ‘A’ is preferred) Key: Density ‘A’ Density ‘B’ A#B (Comp) Density ‘A’ Density ‘B’ Density A = Density ‘A’, Out of Limit Out of Limit Out of Limit InputFailed InputFailed Selected B = Density ‘B’, Yes Yes Yes No No FB FB = Fallback Yes Yes No No No A Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No

A brief guide to the Hysteresis mechanism is shown below.

Hysteresis Guide The Flow Computer can use hysteresis to select a calibrated range for the transducer; even if programmed ranges have some overlap. Range identification, even without use of hysteresis, allows the Flow Computer to use the most appropriate set of factors for calculations.

The V0, V1 and V2 factors for each calibrated range are found on the transducer certificate. For further information on calibration ranges, refer to the Technical Manual that was supplied with the transducer. Hysteresis also avoids continuous switching between calibration ranges when the dynamic viscosity is fluctuating around a calibration range boundary. Example: Calibration Range Identification Consider 1% hysteresis with Viscosity Transducer ‘A’ calibrated for low, medium and high ranges. Work through the numbered calculations with reference to the diagram and table of configuration details associated with hysteresis.

Hysteresis point calculations for changes switching low and ultra-low viscosity calibration ranges: Without an ultra-low calibration range set-up, dynamic viscosity ‘A’ data shows “Fail” on the status line when the calculated value goes below 9.9 cP. The low range remains selected. Once a fail status is shown, dynamic viscosity ‘A’ must go above 10.1 cP to become “Live”.

4

Hysteresis point calculations for changes around the upper limit of the high viscosity calibration range: The dynamic viscosity ‘A’ menu data shows “Fail” on the status line when the calculated value goes above the high limit - 12,500 cP in the example. The high range remains selected. Once a “fail” status is shown, the dynamic viscosity ‘A’ measurement value must fall below the high limit (12,500 cP) to become “Live” again.

Notes: A A total is the integration of a specific parameter value (e.g. metering-run flow rate) over a period of time. The Flow Computer updates a total with an increment value every cycle - See Note B. [MENU(4)] B

An increment value is calculated by integrating a parameter value, e.g. flow rate, over time. The result is added to a corresponding total once during every machine cycle. [MENU(3)] (a) Orifice or Coriolis Flow The time element of the increment calculation is the ‘actual cycle time’. This value is the elapsed time between a flow measurement. It is available for viewing from within the <“Time”> menu. (b) Turbine Flow The time element of the increment calculation is the ‘pulse sample time’ – the period that pulses were accumulated for calculating the present value of the Indicated Volume flow rate. This time value is available for viewing within the <”Health check”> feature menu. Editing an increment value has no effect.

C

By default, rollover (to zero) limits are SET to a very large number. However, it is advisable to check that the limit is sufficient for the metering application. [MENU(2)]

NET OIL/NET ‘WATER’ FLOW RATES AND TOTALS D

There are two Flow Computer modes to be aware of… 1. Normal mode In this mode, a main total, e.g. <”Water volume total”>, can increment. The twinned maintenance-mode total, e.g. <”Maint NV water total”>, will never increment. 2. Maintenance mode In this mode, a maintenance-mode total, e.g. <”Maint NV water total”>, can increment. The twinned normalmode total, e.g. <”Water volume total”>, will never increment. A mode can be selected only when the Flow Computer is in a ‘Flow Stopped’ state. See flow metering reference pages for parameters involved in establishing a ‘Flow stopped’ state. [INFORMATION (SOFT-KEY) MENU]

Notes: A maximum of 20 product profiles can be defined. To illustrate, the Menu Data listed above (8 – 17) is the A profile for product one. Profiles of other products are not shown in the schematic or list for reasons of clarity. Each product profile has a corresponding set of product totals – see Menu Data items 22, 24 and 26. B

This is for fluid density measurements from a mA-type field transmitter at the header. Values are used as advanced notification of a product change. (Also, see note ‘C’ and configuration details on page 11.38)

C

This is a programmable period for allowing a product change at header instrumentation to reach the metering point. Product switching should not occur until the fluid reaches the metering point. (Also, see note ‘B’)

D

Product totalising can be switched on and off with this parameter. If switched off, increments for product totals are discarded. If switched on, the Flow Computer will calculate increments and then update the appropriate set of product totals.

CONFIGURATION E

INTERFACE DETECTION

This data is a part of the Automatic Product Configuration feature. The programmed (SET) value can be copied to the relevant prime parameter whenever the product is detected. For example, the value for <“Prod1 MF”> would overwrite the value of the <“Meter factor”> parameter as soon as Product #1 is detected, but only if the ‘Meter Factor’ is not being linearised. Similarly, the value for <“Prod1 K factor”> would overwrite the value of the <“Flowmeter K Factor”> parameter as soon as Product #1 is detected, but only if the ‘K-factor’ is not being linearised. (N.B. See earlier flow metering pages for use of <“Meter Factor”> and <“Flowmeter K Factor”>)

F

Retrospective total calculations can be performed to compensate for changes to the ‘Meter Factor’ or the ‘K-factor’. Specify the volume to be considered when correcting totals.

G

One set of product totals can be allocated to all fluids that are outside the defined product bands. High and low band data in the selected product profile are not applied.

H

Enables or prevents the overwriting of parameters with ‘override’ values from the profile of a detected product. (Also, see note ‘E’)

I

Selecting a new zone type will automatically re-select the appropriate base units of measurement for data listed in all 20 product profiles.

Example: Density zoning with 4 defined products (i.e. 4 back-to-back bands)

x

Pulse Outputs supported by a 7951 (D-Type) Pulse Output channels 1 to 5

x

Pulse Outputs supported by a 7951 (Klippon) Pulse Output channels 1 to 3

What to do: Use this page to configure basic information for the pulse output channels. A channel can be set-up to transmit each increment to a normal mode total as a pulse train, suitable for an external counter.

The individual pulse has a significance that equates to a certain mass or volume in the units of measurement already selected for the rate. As an example, consider a flow total increasing at a steady rate of one gallon every second and significance that is programmed with a value of six, representing six gallons. This would result in a single pulse being transmitted every 6 seconds.

Menu Navigation List: (1) <“Configure”>/<“Outputs”>/<”Pulse outputs”>

General Notes: A

By default, parameters are not pre-allocated to pulse outputs.

B

If the pulse frequency exceeds 10Hz (10 complete pulses per second), a ‘reservoir’ is used to keep a count of the excess. Always SET a large enough pulse significance to avoid this occurring; if there is an excess, increase the significance value and wait for things to calm down again. Alternatively, all reservoirs can be cleared immediately by selecting the “Clear” command through the <“Clear pulse outputs”> parameter.

C

Pulses are transmitted at evenly calculated intervals within the ‘window’ of a machine cycle. As the actual machine cycle time always varies, the calculated interval between pulses will vary even when the value from the Pulse Output Source (e.g. a flow rate) has not changed – see Figure 11.33-1. 0.525s

11.34 PASSWORDS AND SECURITY This sub-section explains how the 795x can set-up to restrict access to facilities. Securable and non-secure modes: The Flow Computer can work in a non-secure or securable mode. In non-secure mode, anyone can have access to any of the facilities. In securable mode, access to facilities can be protected by passwords. Changing security mode: 7950 instrument only If you want the 7950 in securable mode, set the DIP switch on the Connector/Power Supply board to SECURABLE (if you didn’t do this when you installed the instrument).

Figure 11.34-1: Where to find the security DIP switch on the 7950

Changing security mode: 7951 instrument only In the 7951 and 7955 instruments, you change the security mode by using the key switch on the front of the instrument. The instruments are normally securable but, when you insert the key and turn it clockwise, this changes the mode to non-secure. You can only withdraw the key in the vertical (securable) position.

PASSWORDS AND SECURITY Passwords and Security Levels A password system restricts access to its facilities to those people with certain levels of authority. There are four levels of Flow Computer security:

x x x x

(also referred to as the “Programmer” security level)

(anyone other than those listed above).

Setting or changing a password (security level code) 1. Firstly, use the routine <“Enter Password”> menu data page for entering the password to change to the required “Calibration” (Programmer) security level. 2. From this menu, make a selection appropriate for the password (Programmer, Engineer, Operator or World) you want to define or change, then type in a password of up to 20 characters. You can clear an existing password by pressing the CLR key. You can also have the same password for more than one security level. This would give you access to the facilities of all the levels covered by that password.

Feature: Keyboard Security Fallback (Optional) The present security level for information access through the keyboard can be automatically changed to “World” access after a user-defined period has elapsed without use of the keyboard. Use of the keyboard during that period causes the ‘lockout’ timer to be re-started. Security level changes can still be made at any time in the normal way (as explained earlier) but they will re-start the timer.

By default, this security feature is not active. To activate, the length of time for the period must be programmed (SET) to a value more than zero. Passwords to change security level are as already defined. x

Configuration task: Enable keyboard security fallback Follow these instructions: 1. Navigate to this menu: <“Configure”>/<“Other parameters”>/<“Security”>/<“User interface”> 2. Locate the “Security timeout” menu data page and then programme (SET) a value for the time-out period. It is not advisable to programme a time of less than 15 seconds. (End of configuration task)

To de-activate this feature, programme (SET) the “Security timeout” parameter with a value of zero.

Chapter 11 Configuring without using Wizards

PASSWORDS AND SECURITY Feature: Communications Security Fallback (Optional) Virtual slave access through the serial port can be blocked after a period has elapsed without use. Writing a communications password to database location 3187 is then the only way to un-block the serial port. Using the serial communication link during the period causes the ‘lockout’ timer to be re-started.

By default, this feature is not active. To activate it, the length of time must be programmed (SET) to a value of more than zero. A communications password should be also programmed rather than keep the default one. x

Configuration task: Enable communications security fallback Follow these instructions: 1. Change security level to “Calibration” (i.e. flashing red security LED) 2. Navigate to this menu: <“Configure”>/<“Other parameters”>/<“Security”>/<“Communications”> 3. Locate the <“Comms secure timeout”> menu data page and then programme (SET) a value for the time-out. 4. (Optional) Locate the <“Comms password”> menu data page and then programme a new password. (End of configuration task)

To de-activate this feature, SET the value of the <“Comms secure timeout”> parameter to zero.

11.35 MULTI-PAGE MULTI-VIEW What is Multi-View? Multi-View (often referred to as the “User Display”) is a single-key activated display that you can define to show whatever information you want. It consists of one or more pages with the four lines on each page comprising of either or both of:

x x

Text (such as the name of a parameter), at the left of the line. A value for a parameter, at the right of the line.

You can change the configuration of a Multi-View display whenever you wish. An example of a typical multi-view display is shown below. How to get into Multi-view To see the first Multi-view display page, press the MULTI-VIEW key (i.e. the TOP blank key). A multi-view display page looks like the example below.

Figure 11.35-1: A typical Multiview display

Use the DOWN-ARROW key to page down through other multi-view displays. The message “Invalid MultiView Page” appears to indicate that no further pages are defined. Use the UP-ARROW to reverse through the display pages. Configuring Multi-view Follow this procedure for configuring Multi-view: Step 1: Decide what text you want to display You almost certainly want each line of the Multiview display to show the name (possibly in an abbreviated form) of a parameter whose value you want to display. Bear in mind that:

x

Text cannot exceed 11 characters.

x

The display leaves a space between the text and value.

x

The value is displayed as a number without any units. You may wish to include the units as part of the text.

Step 2: Find the location IDs of the parameters 1. In the menu system, find the parameter you want. 2. Press the ‘a’-key to display the location identification number. 3. Note down that number. 4. Repeat this for the other parameters.

Printed reports This section explains how a member of the 795x series can print a variety of sytem reports.

12.3.1

Types of report There are a variety of printed reports to choose from. Report name (as displayed)

Content of report

Current report

This shows settings and values of up to 20 data locations that have been set-up in a user-defined list. (Refer to Chapter 9 for a guide to this report)

Alarm report

Contents of the Historical Alarm Log and attributes of up to 20 user-nominated parameters.

Event report

Contents of the Historical Event Log and attributes of up to 10 user-nominated parameters.

Config report

Application configuration details and attributes of up to 10 user-nominated parameters.

Current QTR

Current batch transaction record and attributes of up to 10 user-nominated parameters. (See “Batching” in Chapter 18)

Previous QTR

Previous batch transaction record and attributes of up to 10 user-nominated parameters. (See “Batching” in Chapter 18)

Prover report

General Proving Session Report. (See Chapter 16 for a sample print-out)

Brooks prove rpts Alarm log Manual log Daily log Interval log

Brooks Compact Proving Session Report The “Alarm” trigger Archive. (See Chapter 9 for details of Archiving) The “Manual” trigger Archive. (See Chapter 9 for details of Archiving) The “Daily” trigger Archive. (See Chapter 9 for details of Archiving) The “Interval” trigger Archive. (See Chapter 9 for details of Archiving)

Reports can be enhanced to include header and footer information. (See PRINT MENUs: <”Header & footer”> and <”Define reports”>)

12.3.2

Printing a report Reports have to be printed out individually. Each print request involves selecting a report name (description) from a fixed list of all reports. The contents of that report is then transmitted through a serial communications port that has been set-up for connection to an ASCII compatible output device. The “World” security level prevents everyone from requesting a report to be printed. However, all other security levels can be used to request any of the reports that are listed above. To find out about how to change security level, refer to the “Password and Security” section in Chapter 11.

How to print a report using the front panel keyboard Follow these instructions:

1. Ensure that at least one serial communications port is configured for printing and the port is suitably connected to either an ASCII printer or a PC running a terminal emulation program. (Note: The set-up on the output device outside the scope of this Operating Manual)

2. Press the PRINT MENU key 3. Navigate to this menu: <“Print report”> 4. Edit the option (value) to be one of the report descriptions from the fixed list 5. Watch the report appear either on the ASCII output device. 795x Op Man/BD

Page 12.9

Chapter 12 Routine operation (Data maps)

How to print a report by other methods Method #1: ‘Remote’ Print via MODBUS A MODBUS networked device can directly manipulate database locations of the 795x machine. With this method, a MODBUS ‘write’ command message can be used to write a report identification code to the parameter <”Print”>. The identified report is then be transmitted as normal.

Chapter 7 features worked examples of supported MODBUS commands that can be very easily adapted for this purpose. It will be necessary to know the location number of “Print Report” for part of the command sequence. This can be done by pressing the PRINT MENU key, searching the menu structure and then, once found, pressing the ‘a’ soft-key.

Follow these instructions:

1. Ensure that a serial communications port is configured for printing and the port is suitably connected to either an ASCII printer or a PC running a terminal emulation program. (Note: The set-up on the output device outside the scope of this Operating Manual)

2. Transmit a MODBUS write command to the 795x machine. Report Identification Codes are as shown Table 12.3.1.

3. Watch the report appear either on the ASCII output device.

(How to print a report by other methods continued…) Method #2: ‘Remote’ Print via Digital (Status) Input By default, Status Input 4 can be used by an external system to request a printout of the “Current” report. Follow these instructions:

1. Ensure that a serial communications port is configured for printing and the port is suitably connected to either an ASCII printer or a PC running a terminal emulation program (Note: The set-up on the output device outside the scope of this Operating Manual)

2. Ensure that the Status Input 4 is suitably wired to the external system that will activate it It is possible to modify attributes of a digital (status) input: (a) Logic sense: Choose between “Positive Logic” (default) or “Negative Logic” (b) Mode: Choose between “Non latched” (default) or “Latched” Configuration parameters are under: <“Configure”>/<”Inputs”>/<“Status Inputs”> (or similar)

3. Test by activating the digital (status) input. It is possible to allocate this remote print function to another digital (status) input but care is needed to avoid clashes with the prover requirements (See Chapter 16) and the digital input allocated to selecting maintenance-mode. (Menu: <“Configure”>/)

Chapter 17 HART, SMART and the 7950

17. HART, SMART and the 7950 17.1 What this Chapter tells you This Chapter is a comprehensive guide for understanding how the 7950 can be set-up for digital communications with “SMART” † type field transmitters.

Important Notice This Chapter is only relevant to 7950’s with the “HART” add-on board installed. Contact Mobrey for up-to-date details of 7950 upgrade options.

17.2 Introduction to SMART and HART with the 7950 A special add-on board‡ is installed inside the 7950 before this facility is enabled. This board provides all the necessary hardware and firmware support for the 7950 to communicate as a Current Input Device (Primary Master) on two separate networks (two-wire 4-20mA loops) of “SMART” field transmitters (Slaves).

Warning!! Each network loop must have no more than five “SMART” field transmitters connected at any one time. Exceeding this number will damage add-on boards. The following “safe area only” diagram shows two HART network loops with the maximum number of “SMART” field transmitters connected. In practice, far fewer transmitters are used. Take note of the warnings - above and below. Section 17.3 has details of external wiring involving the 7950. T1

Warning!! Connecting up “SMART” transducers has to be done with great care. Poweringup more than one ‘point-to-point’ configured transmitter on a HART network loop can produce an electrical current (20mA per transmitter) that can damage the 7950.

†

‡

A “SMART” transmitter is said to be intelligent because it contains a microprocessor that provides extra functionality. This may take various forms, such as on-board calculations, handling multiple sensors, combining types of measurement, measurement integrity indicators, and so forth. “SMART” is also used for the ability to re-use existing field wiring. Mobrey part number is 79507

7950 Op Man/AB

Chapter 17 HART, SMART and the 7950

The communications standard for each network loop is the HART§ Protocol**. A full technical discussion of this standard is outside the scope of this operating manual. There is a detailed discussion of the HART protocol in the Rosemount booklet entitled “HART Field Communications Protocol - A Technical Description”. However, particularly important aspects involving the 7950 are covered in later section as they are needed. Application Software is able to request data from dynamic variables that are kept and maintained by a “SMART” transmitter. These dynamic variables can be thought of as being very much like 7950 type data locations. Four dynamic variables per “SMART” field transmitter can be requested. A total of eight dynamic variables can be input to the 7950. Configuration details concentrate on setting up the 7950 to obtain up to eight (the maximum) measurement values.

17.3 Connecting the 7950 to a HART network loop This section covers installation issues for analogue input wiring involving the 7950. 17.3.1

7950 Electrical connections and impedance requirements HART connections use analogue inputs 5 and 6 for HART network loops 1 and 2 respectively. The HART add-on board provides the hardware support for these two additional analogue inputs.

Note: To ensure reliable operation, it is good practice to ground the 0V d.c. isolated supply at one point.

100 Ohms

Analogue input Signal 0V d.c. (Isolated supply)

“SMART” Analogue input on the HART add-on board (Internally powered)

Every analogue input on the 795x utilises a internal 100: current sense resistor. The circuitry for the “SMART” analogue inputs (on the HART add-on board) use a 100: current sense resistor in series with an active impedance. The total impedance is then sufficient for reliable operations at HART signal frequencies, while minimising the d.c. voltage drop across the 795x terminals. This allows a sufficient voltage at the field transmitter even when powered through I.S. Barriers (or Isolators).

Parameter notes: 1. At d.c., the voltage drop at the maximum current of 22mA is 3.4V 2. Minimum impedance in the HART extended frequency band (500 -10khz) is 330: 3. Maximum impedance in the HART extended frequency band (500 -10khz) is 480:

Frequency-shift keying The HART protocol uses the American “Bell 202” standard frequency-shift keying (F.S.K.) method to mask a digital signal on to analogue wiring.

Important Notice The “HART” add-on board can be used with the “Extra I/O” add-on board at the same time. This combination provides 2 off Analogue inputs 5 and 6. However, the F.S.K. signal produces random errors on the analogue signal which affect the normal accuracy (See Appendix ‘C’). Mobrey strongly recommend that analogue inputs, being used for HART loop inputs, should only be used for HART communications.

17.3.3

Cable choice and the 65Ps rule There is a standard “65Ps” rule that determines the maximum length of cable that can be used for reliable operation of the HART network loop . Step 1: Add up all the resistance in the network loop. x 7950 current sense resistance - this is equivalent to 350: with the HART add-on board. x I.S. Barrier or Isolator x Cable Step 2: Find out the total cable capacitance Step 3: Multiply the total resistance by the total cable capacitance. The resulting value must be less than 65Ps. Mobrey can provide multi-pair cable that has a maximum capacitance of 115 pF/m. The following table shows the recommended maximum cable lengths for typical HART network loops with this cable.

Table notes: 1. Cable length calculations take into account the 350: resistance from a 7950 with the HART Board. 2. It is assumed that a 150: I.S. Barrier has a maximum end to end resistance of 185: 3. It is assumed that a 300: I.S. Barrier has a maximum end to end resistance of 340: A discussion of cable choices can be found in the Rosemount booklet entitled “HART Field Communications Protocol - A Technical Description”.

18. BATCHING (TRANSACTIONS) This chapter explores the 795x support for Standard Batch Operations and optional Retrospective Calculations.

18.1 Standard Batch Operations Batch operations comprise transactions and recording of product transfers and conditions over a defined period. The records kept are the current transaction in progress and the previous (last) completed transaction. Additionally, the transaction can be archived. Both the current and previous records may be printed out on-demand or automatically on transaction completion. The archived transaction maybe viewed or printed later when required. These records are called ‘Batch Transaction Records’ but may sometimes be referred to as ‘Quantity Transaction Records’ (QTR) and typically contain the normal totalisers, start/stop time/date and conditions, together with weighted averages.

18.1.1

Batch Operation Types The Flow Computer offers 4 types of batch operation: (1) Daily This type of batch commences at a programmed (SET) hour – known as the contract hour. The duration is 24 hours at all times, unless the calendar clock is adjusted. Batches are back-to-back and therefore have to be halted on-demand by a menu-based soft-command selection. (2) Timed This type of batch commences when a programmed (SET) date and time matches that of the Flow Computer calendar clock. Time is the primary parameter for completing a batch. The duration of a batch is a fixed, user-programmed period. Batches are always back-to-back and have to be halted on-demand by a menu-based soft-command selection or by the BOTTOM-BLANK front panel key. (3) Manual Trigger This type of batch is started by selecting a menu ‘soft-command’. User- intervention is the essential parameter for completing a batch. The duration of a batch is therefore entirely dependent on when the “Halt” soft-command is selected. Batches are not back-to-back unless softcommands are issued in quick succession. Alternatively, the BOTTOM-BLANK front panel key can start and stop a batch. (4) Programmed Quantity This type of batch is more sophisticated than previous types. A chain of 6 back-to-back batches can be set-up, each batch with parameters for programming the quantity to deliver, optional delivery rate, and start method. The chain can be linked such that it is continuously repeated. An individual quantity-based batch transaction can commence either by: (i)

menu-based soft-command selection,

(ii)

starting at a pre-set date and time or

(iii) starting immediately after being enabled. This type is more sophisticated than the previously mentioned types. A chain of 6 back-to-back batches can be set-up, each batch with parameters for programming the quantity to deliver, the optional delivery rate and start method. The chain can be linked such that it is continuously repeated. Product flow is the essential parameter for completing a batch. The batch is complete when a pre-set quantity of the measured product has been delivered – quantity is in terms of mass flow, gross volume flow or net volume flow.

795x 2510 (Ch18/AC)

18.1

Chapter 18 Batch Operations

Simple flow control is available by means of automatically opening and closing a stream block valve at the start and end of a quantity batch. The subject of “Valve Control and Monitoring” is dealt with in Chapter 16 – some configuration is required. An alternative option is for the 795x series Flow Computer to continuously control the rate of product flow, thus giving a more precise delivery of the product during each batch transaction. Flow Delivery Control (FDC) features an auto-configured PID algorithm that can manipulate a proportionally controlled valve 1. After a flow-controlled batch is underway, the user can adjust the deliverable quantity, abort batches, or pause/resume the batch. System alarms flag events, such as completion or approaching end of batch.

Chapter 18 Batch Operations Notes: A

By default, gross volume is the selected unit of measurement for monitoring product flow during a quantitybased batch transaction. Alternative units of measurement for selection are net volume and mass.

B

Batch transactions require the 795x Flow Computer to be operating in “Normal” mode. [‘i’ soft-key menu]

C:

Use Table 18.1.2 to help identify the initial data source for batch transaction record parameters

D

This is for chaining one batch transaction program to another batch transaction program. The “None” option is for ending the chain.

E

Due to the mechanics of batching, the delivered quantity may exceed the pre-set quantity. However, this over-spill can be minimised by using the Flow Delivery Control option. Over-spill is not filtered out of batch records. (Also, see Note F) Over-spill due to 795x Flow Computer timing is minimised to the delay from the method of recording values at some time during a machine cycle.

F

Limit alarm threshold for monitoring the over-spill of a batch. An over-spill outside the (upper) limit will raise a “Qty batch overrun” alarm. It can be cleared when there the batch is completed and there is a ‘flow stop’ state. This alarm limit check will not operate unless Flow Delivery Control is active and the programmed threshold is greater than zero. (Also, see Note E)

G

Pause and resume controls are available when running a quantity-based batch transaction with active Flow Delivery Control. The “pause” ‘soft-command’ allows a live adjustment to the deliverable quantity. Adjustments take effect immediately upon resumption of the batch. (See Table 18.1.1 for availability of other batch features)

H

Activating another batch type will immediately terminate all existing batch activities. There are termination exceptions: x

A quantity batch cannot be stopped without using the “halt” ‘soft-command’ (of <“Qty batch enable”>). Otherwise, attempts to enable another batch type will fail and result in a “Qty batch running” INFO class system alarm. This INFO alarm can be accepted and cleared at any time.

x

A quantity batch (with active Flow Delivery Control) cannot be enabled unless the Flow Computer is in a ‘flow stopped’ state. Otherwise, attempts will fail and result in a “Qty batch start F” INFO class system alarm. This alarm can be accepted and cleared at any time.

I

A quantity batch with a manual trigger must first be enabled with <“Qty batch enable”> and then triggered by <“Batch manual trigger”>. Further triggering may be needed if other chained programs use a manual start.

J

Terminating a running batch will leave both current and previous batch records with identical values until a new batch is started.

Chapter 18 Batch Operations K

Target flow rate for achieving the “maintain” state during a quantity batch. This parameter is not applicable unless using the FDC (Flow Delivery Control) feature. (See Table 18.1.1 for availability of FDC)

L

Enable or prevent an automatic printout of the batch report immediately on completion of a batch. A serial communication port will need to be configured for a connection to an ASCII compatible printer.

M

A quantity type batch can use the 795x software based PID algorithm to manipulate a proportional valve and therefore control the product delivery rate. The “PID” option for this parameter will auto-configure most PID parameters apart from the gain, the integral and the derivative. (See “PID” reference pages in Chapter 9) Associated Flow Delivery Control Parameters: x

<“Trickle flow rate”>

This will specify the minimum flow rate for the automated closing stage of a batch. A default value of 0 forces the 795X to assume the ‘trickle’ is 2% of the value programmed (SET) for <“Meter run max flow “>.

x

<“Flow ramp limit”>

This will override the limit that appears within the PID configuration menu.

x

<“Meter run max flow”>

This is a capping limit for the rate of flow.

The “Simple open & close” option for this parameter will cause the Flow Computer to open both the Stream Block Valve and the Flow Control Valve at the start of a batch, and close them both at the end of the batch. With this option there is no control over the product delivery rate. The “Off” option for this parameter is for when the Flow Computer does not control valves. N

Pause a quantity-based batch, SET a new deliverable quantity and then resume the batch. (Requires FDC.)

O

This parameter cannot be reset to zero on-demand but will rollover to zero after exceeding 4.95 billion.

P

Weighted averaging uses the Gross Volume flow rate.

Q

If using PID Control (Flow Delivery Control) or the ‘simple open and close’ method, it is necessary for the Flow Computer to auto-control valves. Set-up details are as guided in the “Valve Control and Monitoring” section of Chapter 16. It is also necessary to select a pre-built map of status I/O assignments – maps are listed in Chapter 16. To check on and select an I/O assignment: x x

Guided Example 1: Manual Trigger Type Batch This example demonstrates how a manually triggered type is configured, commenced by a menu-based ‘soft-command’ and completed on-demand by another ‘soft-command’. Adapt the example to be applicable to your installation. What to do: Read the Overview and then browse through the Operation Events list and associated parameter list for this example. Overview: Figure 18.1.2 gives a graphical overview for the example. It shows single-shot batches, each varying in duration and, consequently, the quantity delivered. They are totally unaffected by the flow conditions, which are reasonably stable in this case. The Flow Computer does not control product flow. Figure 18.1.2: Manual Triggered Batch Type

Operation Events:

1 Flow rate increases independently of Flow Computer. 2 Operator uses the “Run” soft-command when flow rate is adequate. Batch B1 starts immediately, with the batch status changing to “In progress”

3 Batch B1 continues and product flow remains stable until ‘Tank A’ approaches full capacity. 4 Flow rate decreases independently of Flow Computer. 5 Batch B1 completes when the operator selects the “Halt” soft-command. The batch status then changes from “In progress” to “Complete”.

6 Batch B2 does not start yet. There is a wait until ‘Tank B’ is ready. 7 Flow rate increases independently of Flow Computer. 8 Operator uses the “Run” soft-command when flow rate is adequate. Batch B2 starts immediately, with the batch status changing to “In progress”

9 Batch B2 continues and product flow remains stable until ‘Tank B’ approaches full capacity. 10 Flow rate decreases independently of Flow Computer. 11 Batch B2 completes when the operator selects the “Halt” soft-command. Associated Parameter List:

Guided Example 2: Timed Batches This example demonstrates how the timed batch type is configured, commenced at a programmed date and time, and halted on-demand. Adapt the example to be applicable to your installation. What to do: Read the Overview and then browse through the Operation Events list for this example. Overview: Figure 18.1.3 gives a graphical overview for the example. It shows a series of back-to-back batches, each programmed to last 300 seconds. The first batch commences - triggers - when the 795x calendar clock matches a programmed (SET) date and time, “12-03-2002 08:00:00”. Timed batch operations are totally unaffected by the flow conditions, which are reasonably stable in this case. Batch Bn is interrupted 200 seconds after starting, following the selection of a “halt” soft-command. Figure 18.1.3: Timed Batches

Operation Events:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Configure associated parameters in the order as listed in the table below. Wait for the 795x calendar clock to match the trigger date and time. Trigger occurs on 12th March 2002 at 8 o’clock in the morning. Batch B1 starts immediately. Batch B1 completes after 300 seconds and batch B2 starts immediately. Batch B2 completes after a further 300 seconds and batch B3 starts immediately. Batch B3 completes after a further 300 seconds. Batches continue … Later on, batch Bn starts. After 200 seconds, the “halt” soft-command is selected. Batch Bn ends immediately but it is still considered to be complete - the batch status shows “complete”.

10 To resume this timed batch operation, program a new date and time, adjust the duration if necessary and then re-select the “Run” soft-command.

Guided Example 3: Quantity Batch with FDC - Single Program Loop This example demonstrates how a quantity batch program can be chained to itself such that it is continually repeated until halted on-demand. What to do: Read the Overview and then browse through the Operation Events list and associated parameter list for this example. Overview: Figure 18.1.4 gives a graphical overview for the example. It shows the same quantity batch program (BP1) repeated twice. Batch program BP1 is configured with various details (see Table 18.1.3), including a requirement to start the batch transaction with a soft-command. The first batch transaction is started by the “Run” (manual trigger) soft-command whilst the Flow Computer is in a ‘flow stopped state’. Flow Delivery Control is then responsible for delivering the pre-set quantity, with minimal over-spill, and ending the batch. The duration of this batch transaction can vary and this is due to varying flow conditions. After the first batch transaction is complete, quantity-type batching remains enabled. The subsequent batch transaction (batch program BP1) is triggered manually by the operator at a convenient time. The batch can be repeated any number of times until the “halt” (enable/disable) soft-command is selected, when no more quantity batching is needed. Directly associated parameters are listed in Table 18.1.3 on page 18.10. All other parameters, such as the Gross Volume flow rate, are identifiable from the reference information in Section 18.1.2. Figure 18.1.4: Quantity Batch with FDC - Repeated Program

Operation Events:

1 Quantity batch operation type enabled when the “Run” (enable/disable) soft-command is selected. 2 Flow is reduced by some means - on-line or off-line valve control - and falls below the programmed (SET) ‘flow stop’ threshold. The Flow Computer is then in a ‘flow stopped’ state.

3 4 5 6 7

The first batch (BP1) starts immediately when the “Run” (manual trigger) soft-command is selected. Flow Delivery Control increases flow to match the programmed target rate (in batch program ‘1’) Flow Delivery Control maintains flow at the target rate until 98% of the pre-set quantity is delivered Flow Delivery Control decreases flow to match the programmed trickle rate (in batch program ‘1’) Batch stops when all the pre-set quantity is delivered. Quantity batch status displays “Idle”.

Flow Delivery Control decreases flow to match the programmed trickle rate (in batch program ‘1’). Batch stops when all the pre-set quantity is delivered. Quantity type batching is deactivated (disabled) by selecting a “halt” (enable/disable) soft-command.

What to do: Read the Overview and then browse through the Operation Events list and associated parameter list for this example. Overview: Figure 18.1.5 gives a graphical overview of this example. It shows a single-shot quantity batch (BP2) that is paused mid-way for a period of time ‘tI’ and then resumed until the pre-set quantity is delivered. Batch program BP1 is configured with various details (see Table 18.1.4), including a requirement to start the batch transaction with a soft-command.

Chapter 18 Batch Operations

18.2 Retrospective Batch Total Calculations The 795x Flow Computer can re-calculate batch totals by applying updated values of key parameters. It then transmits a report through an appropriately configured serial port.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to first concentrate on the configuration and operation of standard batching (Section 18.1) and archiving (Chapter 9) before using any of the retrospective calculation options.

18.2.1

OVERVIEW Retrospective calculations can use new user-supplied values of key parameters to re-calculate the batch totals and update data of any archived batch record. An archived batch record is located, updated with new batch totals and re-archived. A revision number is included in the batch record for distinguishing it from the original batch record. This type of update is activated by selecting a “Yes” soft-command. (See Section 18.2.2 on page 18.18) Alternatively, retrospective calculations can be performed whilst a batch is in progress. In this case, the update can be activated by answering the acceptance prompt following a successful proving session. Batch totals in the current batch (transaction) record are then updated using a new ‘K factor’ or ‘Meter factor’ from the session. No other update parameters are considered. On completion of the batch, the current batch record is archived, as the original, in the normal way. (See Section 18.2.3 on page 18.20) Table 18.2.1 has a full list of update parameters for supplying new values. Not all update parameters can be applied together. For example, where both the ‘K’ factor and ‘Meter factor’ update parameters have both been edited, the retrospective calculations apply only the most recently edited update parameter. Update parameters are applied in a fixed order as shown in Table 18.2.2. The “Quantity Transaction Record” printed report is an output of the revised batch record. It does not explicitly indicate differences between the original batch record and the revised batch record. Samples can be seen in Section 0, starting on page 18.14. Automatic printing of the batch report can be deactivated by navigating the menu data page with <”Batch auto print”> and then selecting the “Off” option

USING RETROSPECTIVE CALCULATIONS (ON ARCHIVED BATCH RECORDS) This sub-section is an instructional guide to using retrospective calculations on any archived batch (transaction) record. Instructions assume that a batch has already been completed and archived. It is useful if a serial port is configured for and then connected to an ASCII compatible printer or PC running terminal software.

Activation Instructions:

1

Navigate to this menu data page: <”Password”>/<”Enter password”> and then enter the password for the “Engineer” security level. (See Chapter 11 for reference pages on security levels and passwords)

2

Navigate to this menu: <”Batching”>/<”Retro calculations”>/<”Select batch”>

3

Select an archived batch (transaction) record: (a) Nominate a primary search-key type….………….…… {Menu data page: <”Selection type”>} This is for the auto-location of an archived batch record. Options are either searching the batch archive by ticket number or by archive record number (b) Edit a value for the primary search-key…...…………... {Menu data page: <”Batch ID”>} Identify a sub-set of archived batch records by entering either an existing ticket number or an archived record number, as appropriate for the nominated primary search-key type (c) Edit a value for the secondary search-key………...….. {Menu data page: <”Batch revision”>} Reduce the sub-set to a single archived batch record by editing a revision number that is a match for one of the archived batch records. Use zero if requiring the original (unmodified) batch record Searches are automatically performed after editing the revision number and after editing the ticket/batch record reference number. Failed searches result in an INFO SYSTEM alarm being raised, which can be accepted and cleared from the Historical Alarm Log at any time.

18.2.3

USING RETROSPECTIVE CALCULATIONS (ON THE CURRENT BATCH RECORD) This is a guide to activating retrospective calculations on near completion of a successful proving session, whilst a batch is still in progress.

Activation Instructions: The following instructions assume that a successful prove session has occurred and a new factor has just been accepted for use in subsequent fiscal flow calculations…

1 Figure 18.2.9 shows the screen prompt that follows acceptance of a new ‘K factor’ or ‘Meter factor’. This is the opportunity to perform retrospective calculations with the newly accepted flow factor. (a) Press a blue, lettered key that is alongside the option you require. Use Table 18.2.4 to decide which option to select. Figure 18.2.9: "Apply to Batch?" Screen

Table 18.2.4: "Apply to Batch?" Options Option

Purpose of Option

No

Do not perform retrospective calculations - continue with Step 3

Part

Re-calculate recent part of flow for all current batch total retrospectively - continue with Step 2

All

Re-calculate all product flow for each current batch total retrospectively - continue with Step 3

2 Figure 18.2.10 shows the prompt that appears after selecting the “Part” (‘c’ key) option from Step One. Specify the ‘part of batch’ as a quantity in the units of measurement displayed. This will be a value in either volumetric or mass units, depending on the configuration for quantity-type batch operations. (a)

Press the ‘c’ key to start the editing process

(b)

Edit a value using the numeric keypad

(c)

Press the ‘c’ key to confirm the edited value. Figure 18.2.10: "Enter batch quantity to adjust" screen

3 Continue with the prompts until the menu system re-appears. Retrospective calculations then take place (if activated by Step 1) instantly and are completed within one machine cycle, therefore having a negligible effect on the live batch transaction recording. 18.20

Appendix C Technical data for the 7950

C.6 Earthing In addition to earthing the chassis, (described in Chapter 5), you may have to make extra earth connections in some cases, depending on the installation requirements. The types of connection can be split into three groups, each of which has different earthing requirements. The groups are: Group 1 (non-isolated power supply):

Serial communications ports Pulse outputs Status outputs

Group 2 (isolated power supply):

Status inputs

Group 3 (isolated power supply):

Analogue inputs Frequency inputs Analogue outputs

The diagrams on the next two pages shows you how to earth the external connections.

Earthing arrangements for the 7950

7950 (Appx-C/BI)

Page C.11

Appendix C Technical data for the 7950

Earthing requirements for group 1 connections only In general, the earthing arrangements are different for large and small installations. (A small installation may possibly consist of just one instrument.) x

If the 7950 is part of a large installation with separate earths for chassis and instrumentation: In this case you may (depending on the overall system requirements) earth the 7950 chassis and instrumentation separately by cutting the link on the connector board.

x

If the 7950 is on its own or in a small installation with one common earth for chassis and instrumentation: In this case you must leave the link intact so that the chassis and instrumentation are earthed to the same point. LINK 1

LINK 1

Where to find the link on the connector board

Earthing requirements for group 2 connections only The status inputs do not have to be earthed because the circuitry contains only opto-electrical components.

Earthing requirements for group 3 connections only These depend on what sort of installation you have and the environment in which it operates. You therefore have to decide what earthing arrangements you need. It is likely that this group has to be earthed at a zener barrier earth. For further information, refer to the documentation for the external devices which are connected to the installation.

E.2. Equations used to derive data tables

Density/temperature relationship The density/temperature relationship is:

Ut

U 15 exp> D 15 ' t 1  0.8D 15 ' t @

where:

Ut

= density at line temperature t°C (kg/m3)

U 15

= density at base temperature 15°C (kg/m3)

't

= t°C -15°C (i.e. t - base temperature)

D 15

= tangent thermal expansion coefficient per °C at base temperature 15°C

Tangent thermal expansion coefficient The tangent thermal expansion coefficient differs for each of the major groups of hydrocarbons. It is obtained from the equation:
