Introduction
Omni 3000 and Omni 6000 Flow Computers are reliable, easy to use, uniquely versatile measurement instruments. They are factory-programmed for single or multiple meter run configurations to measure crude oils, refined products, NGLs, LPGs, ethylene, propylene, natural gas, and specialty gases. Measurement of other flowing products can also be provided. Extensive communications capability enables the Omni 6000 to be used in a variety of Master/Slave configurations for high-speed data transfer applications, and as a large communication submaster. The flow computer can also be hardware configured as a medium-size Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) with significant digital I/O capability. Your Omni Flow Computer connects to various sensors monitoring pipeline flow in your transmission, petrochemical or process measurement application. It calculates, displays and prints data that will be used for operational or billing functions. The computer is configured to match your piping system requirements. Its nonrestrictive bus design permits any combination of inputs and outputs to meet most metering, flow and valve control, and communication requirements. Plug-in modules furnish the input and output channels as needed and provide an assurance of maximum product life by higher accuracy measurement technologies such as meter pulse fidelity checking, and Rosemount and Honeywell digital transmitter interface modules. Up to 4 serial ports in some models are available for printing reports and other communications tasks. All I/O modules are quality tested and temperature trimmed to optimize the 14-bit analog resolution, and burned-in before shipment for field installation.

Input/Output (I/O) Modules
Omni flow computers utilize an I/O bus system. All I/O is modular and plug-in for easy field maintenance and replacement. I/O circuitry is also photo-optically isolated from all field wiring which makes it relatively immune to electrical noise and prevents damage to the electronics. Your Omni Flow Computer has a combination of 3 types of I/O modules: o Digital I/O Modules o Serial I/O Modules o Process I/O Combo Modules A and B Type Combo Modules E and E/D Type Combo Modules H Type Combo Modules Almost any combination of I/O mix can be accommodated in the flow computer. The only limitations are the number of I/O connectors (4 on Omni 3000, 10 on Omni 6000) and the number of wires connecting them to the back panel field wiring terminals (48 for Omni 3000, 120 for Omni 6000). Your Omni Flow Computer has a standard order in which the modules are plugged-in (Fig. 1-7; also see Fig. 1-2 and Fig. 1-3). This provides a standard termination layout.
INFO - Mother board connectors do not have a specific address. These are pre-established at the factory. Each Omni Flow Computer will be supplied with a termination diagram indicating these settings.

Photo-Optical Isolation Transducer signals are converted by the LED into high frequency pulses of light. These are sensed by the photo-transistor which passes the signal to the flow computer. Note that no electrical connection exists between the transducers and the computer circuits.
Photo-Optical Isolation
The microprocessor circuitry is isolated via photo-optical devices from all field wiring to prevent accidental damage to the electronics, including that caused by static electricity. Photo-optical isolation also inhibits electrical noise from inducing measurement errors. Independent isolation of each process input provides high common-mode rejection, allowing the user greater freedom when wiring transmitter loops. Furthermore, it minimizes ground loop effects and isolates and protects your flow computer from pipeline EMI and transients.

INFO - Only 1 digital I/O module can be used on the Omni 3000 and a maximum of 2 on the Omni 6000.
Digital I/O Modules
Inputs and outputs are provided for control of prover functions, remote totalizing, sampler operation, tube control or injection pump control. A digital I/O module is used, providing a total of 12 digital I/O points. Each point can be configured independently as an input or output. It is individually fused and includes LEDs indicating that the point is active or if the fuse is blown. Sequence and control is provided by assigning outputs to user programmable Boolean variables using simple logic statements involving internal and external events, including delay-on timers and delay-off timers. The digital I/O module normally occupies I/O Slots 1 and 2 on the Omni 6000 backplane, and I/O Slot 1 on Omni 3000.

Serial Communication Modules
RS-232/485 Serial I/O Module Model # 68-6205

INFO - Up to 12 flow computers and/or other compatible serial devices can be multi-dropped using Omnis proprietary RS-232-C serial port. Thirty-two devices may be connected when using the RS-485 mode. Typically, one serial I/O module is used on the Omni 3000, providing two ports. A maximum of two serial modules can be installed in the Omni 6000, providing four ports.
Serial I/O Module # 68-6205 is capable of handling two communications ports Each serial communication port is individually optically isolated for maximum common-mode and noise rejection. Although providing RS-232C signal levels, the tristate output design allows multiple flow computers to share one serial link. Communication parameters such as baud rate, stop bits and parity settings are software selectable. In addition to RS-232, jumper selections have been provided on each port to allow selection of RS-485 format. With this option, a total of two RS-485 ports are available on each module.
Multivariable Transmitting Devices - In addition to the Serial I/O Module # 68-6205, the flow computer must also have an SV Module to communicate with multivariable transmitters. This serial module is jumpered to IRQ 3 when used in combination with an SV Module. Without an SV Module, the jumper is placed at IRQ 2. The SV Module can only be used with this serial module (68-6205) and is not compatible with the Serial I/O Module # 68-6005. For more information, see Technical Bulletin # TB980303.

Process I/O Combination Modules
Meter runs utilize plug-in modules which include all necessary analog/digital (A/D) converters and control circuitry. User selection of process I/O is available with combo cards that can be a mix of meter pulse, frequency densitometer, 4-20 mA, 4-wire 100 ohm RTD inputs, and 4-20 mA outputs. All process measurements such as temperature, pressure, density, and flow are input via these process I/O combo modules. Each module will handle 4 inputs of a variety of signal types and provides one or two 4-20 mA analog outputs (except the SV Module which has six 4-20 mA outputs). Seven types of combo I/O modules are available: A, B, E, E/D, H, HV and SV. All modules accept analog and pulse frequency type inputs, except for the H and HV Modules which interface digitally with Honeywell Smart Transmitters, and the SV Module which interfaces serially with RS-485 compatible multivariable transmitters. The A and B Types use identical I/O boards. Likewise, the E and E/D Modules are also identical, except for the position of a configuration jumper which selects the type and address of each module.
INFO - The flow computer allocates the physical I/O point numbers according to the module IDs, not the position occupied on the backplane.
Each of the combo modules installed must have a different identity i.e., you cannot have two or more modules of the same type and address. Valid IDs are: A1 through A6, B1 through B6, E/D-1 through E/D-6, E1 through E6, H1 through H6, and SV1 through SV2. Only one HV Module can be installed. Modules are plugged into DIN type connectors on the passive backplane. Each backplane connector has 12 circuits which connect to the back panel terminal strips via ribbon cables. Combo I/O modules are plugged into the backplane starting at I/O Position #5 (Omni 6000) or I/O Position #3 (Omni 3000) and working towards Position #10 (Omni 6000) or Position #4 (Omni 3000). The preferred order is lowest number A Type to highest number H Type, them SV and HV Modules. The following chapter deals in more detail with process I/O combo modules and includes illustrations and jumper settings. (See Chapter 2 Process I/O Combo Module Setup.)

Operating Power - The indicated power is maximum and includes the power used by transmitter loops, etc. It will vary depending on the number of modules installed, the number of current loops and any digital output loads connected.
Operating Power
Omni flow computers can be AC or DC powered. When AC powered, 120 VAC 50 Watts is applied to the AC plug. For powering transmitter loops when AC powered, approximately 500 mA at 24 VDC is available from the DC terminal block. The flow computer can be special ordered for operation on 220-250 VAC supplies. This requires a modified power supply unit and a different cord set. AC power to the unit is fused by a 0.5 Amp (5x20 mm) slow-blow fuse located in the AC power receptacle. To DC power the flow computer, apply 18 to 30 VDC, 50 Watts to the DC terminal block. DC power into or out of the back panel DC power terminals is fused by a 3 Amp, 2 AG fast-blow fuse located on the back panel next to the DC power terminals. All analog and digital circuits within the flow computer are powered from a 5volt switching regulator located on the power supply module. This is located in the rear most connector on the computer backplane. The DC power which supplies the switching regulator either comes directly from the DC terminals on the back panel of the flow computer (18-30 VDC) or by rectifying the output of the integral 120 VAC (240 VAC) to 20 VAC transformer. Regulated 5-volt power is monitored by a 3-4 second shutdown circuit located on the power supply module. When power is applied to the computer there will be a delay of 3 to 4 seconds before the unit powers up. A recommended maximum of 500 mA of transducer loop power is available with a fully loaded Omni system of 6 combo I/O modules, 2 digital I/O modules and 2 dual serial I/O modules. The Omni must be DC powered if this 500 mA limit is to be exceeded. The maximum system configuration of the Omni is 24 process inputs, 12 process outputs, 24 digital I/O points, and 4 serial I/O channels dissipates approximately 24 Watts. This causes an internal temperature of 15F (8.33C) over the ambient. The unit should not be mounted in a cabinet or panel where the ambient inside the cabinet will exceed 110F (43.33C).

Firmware and Software
Omni flow computers are supplied with pre-programmed firmware and PC configuration software which permit a single unit to perform a great diversity of combined flow measurement tasks, such as: o Multiple Meter Run Totalizing, Batching, Proving, and Data Archiving o Flow and Sampler Control o Direct Interface to Gas Chromatographs and Smart/Multivariable Transmitters o Selectable Communications Protocols to Directly Interface to DCS, PLC and SCADA Host Systems The flow computer database numbers thousands of data points and provides the tightest communications coupling yet between SCADA and the metering system.
1.8.1.
Interrupt-Driven CPU
This is a very important aspect to firmware. It provides for a multi-tasking environment in which priority tasks can be undertaken concurrently with unrelated activity. This provides for high-speed digital signals to be output at the same time as measurement computations and serial communications to a printer or host computer, without degradation in speed or tasking. All custody transfer measurement programs are stored in EPROM or Flash Memory. This prevents damage due to electrical noise, or tampering with the integrity of calculation specifications. SRAM programming can also be accommodated.
1.8.2.
Cycle Time
All time-critical measurement functions are performed by the flow computer every 500 msec. This provides greater accuracy of measurement calculations and permits a faster response by pipeline operations in critical control functions, such as opening or closing valves.
1.8.3.
On-line Diagnostics and Calibration
Extensive diagnostic software is built into the system which allows the technician to locally or remotely debug a possible problem without interrupting on-line measurement. Calibration of analog signals is performed through the keypad and software. The system has only two potentiometers, both of which are on the power supply and are factory set and need no adjustment.
1.8.4.
PC Communications Interface
The wide use of PCs and video display units makes it possible to provide software for off-line/on-line access to measurement, configuration and calibration data. Collection of historical reports, including alarms, interval reports of any time sequence, liquid batch and prove reports, and full remote technical intervention capabilities are also provided.

CAUTION!
Initializing Your Flow Computer
A processor reset signal is automatically generated when: 1) Power is applied. 2) The processor reset switch at the rear of the front panel is toggled. 3) The watchdog timer fails to be reset by firmware every 100 milliseconds. The flow computer will perform a diagnostic check of all program and randomaccess memory whenever any of the above events occur. The program is stored with a checksum in Non-volatile Read-only Memory. The program alarms if the calculated checksum differs from the stored checksum. The most obvious cause of such a problem would be a bent pin on a program memory chip. The validity of all data stored in RAM memory is checked next. This data includes totalizers, configuration data and historical data. Any problems here will cause the computer to initialize the RAM and display the following message: RAM Data Invalid Reconfigure System Using OMNI as Initial Password If due to the RAM area in the computer not agreeing with the checksum area, the computer will display the following message: RAM & Calibrate Data Invalid, Reconfigure & Re-calibrate Using OMNI as Password Assuming that the EPROM memory and RAM memory are valid, the flow computer then checks the software configuration against the installed I/O modules and displays a screen similar to the following:

Introduction
All process measurement signals are input via the process I/O combination (or combo) modules plugged into the backplane of the computer. There currently are 7 types of combo modules available: A, B, E, E/D, H, HV, and SV Types. The 7 types of modules are actually manufactured using only 4 types of printed circuit modules. The first can be configured as either an A or B Module; the second is used for an E or E/D Module; the third printed circuit is used for an H or HV Type Module; and the fourth for an SV Module.
2.2.
Features of the I/O Combo Modules
Each combo module (except the SV Module) will handle 4 inputs of a variety of signal types and provides one or two 4-20 mA analog outputs. The SV Module has two ports and six 4-20 mA analog outputs. Only the E Combo Module has Level A pulse fidelity checking and double chronometry proving capabilities. The input/output capabilities and some of the features of the combo modules are expressed in the following table.

Setting the Address of the Combo Modules
Jumpers are provided on each combo module which allow the user to select the address needed to access the module. Changing the software functions of the module is also done by moving the appropriate jumper; i.e., A or B Type, E or E/D Type.
2.2.2.
Hardware Analog Configuration Jumpers
Other jumpers are provided on each module which select the correct hardware analog configuration for the type of signal that each input channel will accept. This allows the same basic hardware module to accept signals such as 4-20 mA, 1-5 VDC, 100 ohm RTD probes and voltage or current pulses from a turbine, PD meter or digital densitometer.
2.2.3.
IMPORTANT!
Process I/O Combo Module Addresses Versus Physical I/O Points
Combo I/O modules are sorted alphabetically and by low- to-high address. Adding or removing cards may change the existing sort if the Check I/O function is executed.
A flow computer will usually have several combo modules installed depending on the number of flowmeter runs to be measured. If for example, 2 A Type, 2 B Type, 1 E/D Type and 1 E Type Modules were installed, they would normally be numbered A1, A2, B1, B2, E/D1 and E1. Other address combinations are acceptable (e.g.: A2, A3, B1, B4, E/D2 & E2 ) as long as each has a unique identity. In the above example where 6 modules (A1, A2, B1, B2, E/D1 & E1) are installed, the physical I/O points are mapped as follows. (Note that E/D modules come before the E modules!) To standardize, Omni recommends that combo modules should always be installed starting with the lowest number A Type Module in I/O Slot #5 (Slot #3 in Omni 3000) as shown, with additional modules being installed in ascending order towards Slot #10 (Slot #4 in Omni 3000).

Assigning Specific Signal Inputs
The Omni factory pre-assigns the physical I/O points of each flow computer based on information supplied at time of order. This configuration information is stored in battery backed-up static CMOS RAM. If you wish to change or add to these assignments, refer to the section Program Setup in Volume 3, Chapter 2 Flow Computer Configuration and follow these basic rules: 1) Digital densitometer signals can only be assigned to the fourth channel of each B Type Combo Module, or the third and fourth channel of each E/D Module. 2) RTD signals can only be assigned to the first or second channel of each A, B, E/D or E combo module. Whenever possible, avoid using the second RTD excitation current source of an A Type Combo Module as this makes the second 4-20 mA output on that module inaccessable.
rd 3) Pulse signals from flowmeters can be assigned only to the 3 channel of th each combo module and/or the 4 channel of each A Combo Module and E Combo Module (E/D Combo Modules excepted).
4) Pulse signals to be used for Pulse Fidelity Checking must be connected rd th to the 3 and 4 channel of an E Combo Module with the third channel assigned as the flow input.
rd th 5) Use the 3 and 4 input channels of an E Combo Module for double chronometry proving.
INFO - The message I/O Type Mismatch is displayed if you try to assign the same physical I/O point to more than one type of variable.
6) Physical I/O points may be assigned to more than one variable (i.e., common temperature or pressure sensors) but variable types cannot be mixed (i.e., the same physical point cannot be assigned to temperature and pressure, for example).

The A and B Combo I/O Modules
All I/O signals of the combo module are converted to the form of high frequency pulse trains (0 to 25 kHz). These pulse trains are passed through opto-couplers providing electrical isolation. All 4 process inputs can accept analog input voltages which are first buffered with a 1 megohm input buffer and then converted to pulse frequencies using precision voltage-to-frequency converters. With 2 averaged 500 millisecond samples, analog conversion resolution is 14 binary bits. Linearity is typically 0.01% and the temperature coefficient is trimmed to better than 15 PPM/F. Current inputs such as 4-20 mA are converted to 1-5 VDC by jumpering-in a 250 ohm shunt resistor. The conversion gain of Input Channels 1 and 2 can also be increased by a factor of 10, allowing low level RTD signals (0.20 - 0.55 VDC) to be accepted. Input Channels 3 and 4 can also be jumpered to accept pulse signals (0-12 kHz). In this case, the input stage is configured as Schmitt Trigger, whose threshold is 3.5 VDC and hysteresis 0.5 VDC. The voltage-to-frequency converter is bypassed in this mode. Input Channel 4 can also be jumpered for AC coupling and a 1-volt trigger threshold, making it suitable for interfacing to Solartron type densitometers. Analog Outputs #1 and #2 are obtained in the reverse fashion. A softwarecontrolled pulse train (100 Hz to 5.0 kHz) is passed through opto-couplers and converted to a current using precision frequency-to-current converters. Resolution of these outputs is approximately 12 binary bits. The second analog output is not available when the module is jumpered as a B Type.

Two RTD excitation current sources (3.45 mA) are available on the combo module. The second RTD excitation source will not be available if the second 420 mA analog output is in use (see setting of JP12). This is a function of the number of circuits available from the back panel terminal to each combo module. On a B Type module the second analog output is not available, therefore this second RTD excitation source is always available.
2.3.1.
A and B Combo Module Non-Selectable or Selectable Address
The Combo Type A or B Module can either have a non-selectable address or a selectable Address. The non-selectable address type is featured in older versions of the Omni Flow Computer. The address is programmed into the Programmable Array Logic (PAL) integrated circuit and is factory set. The module address can only be changed by replacing the PAL chip. The selectable type address is featured in current versions of the Omni. Normally, it is preset at the factory, however it allows the user to change the address simply by selecting the correct type and address on the selection jumpers.

Four sets of LED indicators show the status of each transmitter loop. The red LED flashes when the flow computer is transmitting data to the transmitter, such as a change of range, etc. The green LED shows that data is being received by a channel. Note that each communication channel uses 2 wires and operates in the half duplex/simplex mode which means that the green LED shows the flow computers transmissions also. Each transducer is operated in the 6-byte broadcast mode. In this mode, the process variable is updated approximately every 300 msec. The database of the transducer is compared against the flow computers database every 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the type of transducer. Any changes to the transducer database which will affect the integrity of the measured variable must be made via the flow computer. These entries are: o o o o Transducer Zero (Lower Range Value) Transducer Full Scale (Upper Range Value) Transducer Damping Code (Filter Time Constant) Transducer Tag Name
The flow computer will not allow any other devices to alter these variables. Should they be altered, by the Honeywell Smart Field Communicator (SFC) for example, they will be restored to their original value as shown in the flow computer (transducer tag name excepted).

INFO - A recommended maximum of 500mA of transducer loop power is available with a fully loaded system of 6 combo I/O modules, 2 digital I/O modules and 2 dual serial I/O modules. The computer must be DC powered if this 500 mA limit is to be exceeded.
Input Power
AC Power
The Omni Flow Computer can be AC or DC powered.
3.2.1.
When AC powered, 120 VAC, 50 Watts is applied to the AC terminal block. Approximately 500 mA at 24 VDC is always available from the DC terminal block to drive transducer loops, pre-amplifiers, and digital I/O loads when the unit is powered by AC. The flow computer can be special ordered for operation on 220-250 VAC supplies. This requires a modified power supply unit and a different cord set.
CAUTION!
3.2.2.
DC Power
When DC powered, 18 to 30 volts at 24 Watts is applied to the DC terminal block (this wattage figure does not include power sourced from the digital output terminals).
3.2.3.
Safety Considerations
To ensure continued protection against fire, the AC fuse must always be replaced with a 0.5 amp (5x20 mm) slow blow fuse. The DC fuse must be replaced by a 3 amp, 2 AG fast blow. Power should be connected via a suitable power disconnect switch certified as being safe for the area (for grounding requirements, see sidebar note on facing page).
ENVIRONMENTAL - The maximum system configuration of 24 process inputs, 12 process outputs, 24 digital I/O points and 4 serial I/O channels dissipates approximately 24 Watts. This causes an internal temperature rise of 15F over the ambient. The unit should not be mounted in a cabinet or panel where the ambient inside the cabinet will exceed 110F.

Power Supply Module Switching Regulator
All analog and digital circuits within the flow computer are powered from a 5volt switching regulator located on the power supply module. This is located in the rear most connector on the computer backplane. The DC power which supplies the switching regulator either comes directly from the DC terminals on the back panel of the flow computer (18-30 VDC) or by rectifying the output of the integral 120 VAC (240 VAC) to 20 VAC transformer. DC power into or out of the back panel DC power terminals is fused by a 3 Amp, 2 AG fuse located on the back panel next to the DC power terminals. Regulated 5-volt power is monitored by a 3 to 4 second shutdown circuit located on the power supply module. When power is applied to the computer there will be a delay of 3 to 4 seconds before the unit powers up.

Because of the high density of connections on the back panel terminal, it is recommended that wiring to the terminals be made with 18-22 gauge wire wherever possible. Transducers should be wired using twisted pairs of 18 gauge shielded wire. The shields should be connected together and grounded at the flow computer end. To prevent ground loops, shields should be taped back and insulated at the transducer end. Each of the 4-20 mA process input channels are individually optically isolated. The transducer may be connected in series with either the power or return line of the transducer current loop. The figure shown below shows a transducer wired in the power leg of the loop.

Connecting Pipe Prover Detector Switches
Pipe prover detector switches are the only I/O signal that must be connected to a specific I/O point. They must be wired as shown in Fig. 6-4 to Digital I/O Point #1, and the point assigned to Boolean 1700 in the software configuration (see Volume 3). This is because Digital I/O Point #1 is internally jumpered to cause a high priority interrupt of the computer used to start and stop prover counting. Digital I/O Point #1 can still be used as a normal I/O point if pipe proving is not needed.

Interfacing to a Brooks Compact Prover
The Omni Flow Computer interfaces to the basic Brooks Compact Prover Skid Electronics (the Brooks Control Box is not used). The control interface involves one digital output to control the piston launch, a digital input point to monitor the position of the piston, and a detector switch signal shared between each meter run to be proved. Compact provers use the Pulse Interpolation Method of measuring the flowmeter counts between the detector switches. The interpolation method requires that the detector switches activate high speed hardware timers on the Omnis combo I/O module. The detector switch signals called first and final pickoff by Brooks are connected to the Detector Switch input of each E Type Combo Module installed in the flow computer. The following diagram shows the complete installation, including 4-20 mA signals representing the temperature and pressure of the prover tube as well as the nitrogen plenum chamber. The 12-volt DC power supply is user supplied.
Note: When using double chronometry proving, the detector switch input is on Terminal 7 of an E Type Combo I/O Module.

Controlling the Plenum Pressure of a Brooks Compact Prover
The plenum chamber pressure is used as a spring to close the poppet valve of the piston and cause the piston to be moved forward by the flowing liquid. The pressure required to close the poppet valve varies with pipeline pressure. Too high a plenum pressure causes the piston to be pushed downstream by this excess pressure and can lead to inaccurate provings. The Omni Flow Computer can monitor the plenum pressure and line pressure, and automatically charge or vent nitrogen from the plenum chamber. Before commencing a proving run, the Omni Flow Computer plenum pressure versus the required pressure and activates either or vent solenoid valve. The pressures will be matched within entered deadband percent. The Omni activates the solenoids via relays (not shown). checks the the charge some user low voltage
An additional enhancement shown is a pressure switch signaling low nitrogen bottle pressure. In this case, the prove attempt would be aborted if it became impossible to achieve the correct plenum pressure.

7. Connecting to Serial Devices

7.1.
INFO - Up to 12 flow computers and/or other compatible serial devices can be multi-dropped using Omnis proprietary RS-232-C serial port. Thirty-two devices may be connected when using the RS-485 mode. Typically, one serial I/O module is used on the Omni 3000, providing two ports. A maximum of two serial modules can be installed in the Omni 6000, providing four ports.
Serial Port Connection Options
The total number of serial communication ports depends on the number of dual port serial I/O modules installed. The Omni 6000 accepts 2 serial I/O modules; the Omni 3000 accepts 1. Two optional serial communication I/O modules are available with your flow computer (see Chapter 1): the RS-232-C (compatible) Model #68-6005, and the RS-232-C/485 Model #68-6205. The older Model #686005 is only capable of RS-232 compatible serial communications. The newer Model #68-6205 is capable of either RS-232 or RS-485 communications via a selection jumper. When jumpered for RS-232, the characteristics and functionality of this module is identical to that of the older RS-232-C module, providing 2 optically isolated RS-232-C serial ports which can operate from 0.3 to 38.4 kbps. These ports are used for printers, personal computers, and SCADA devices. Although the output voltage levels are compatible with the RS-232 standard, the output is actually tristated when not sending data. This allows the transmit output from multiple flow computers to be bussed. A terminating resistor is provided at the back panel connections to pull down the transmitter signal to a mark (-9V). Hence, a short jumper is required in many cases from TX (Out) to Term. RS-485 communications allows interconnecting multiple flow computers, programmable logic controllers, multivariable transmitters, and other serial devices in either four-wire multi-drop mode or peer-to-peer two-wire multi-drop mode.
RS-485 Communications with an RS-232-C Serial I/O Module #68-6005 - When connecting to RS-485 serial devices using Serial I/O Module #68-6005, a RS-232to-485 Converter device must be used.
Multivariable Transmitting Devices - In addition to the Serial I/O Module # 68-6205, the flow computer must also have an SV Module to communicate with RS-485 compatible multivariable transmitters. This serial module must be jumpered to IRQ 3 when used in combination with an SV Module. Without an SV Module, the jumper must be placed at IRQ 2. The SV Module can only be used with this serial module (68-6205) and is not compatible with the Serial I/O Module # 686005. For more information, see Technical Bulletin # TB980303.

INFO - The speed that data can be accepted by the printer depends on the size of the input buffer (if any) and the print mode (draft or near letter quality). Typical printers provide about 120 printed characters/second.
Connecting to Printers
Connecting to a Dedicated Printer (Port 1)
The following diagram shows the Omni Flow Computer connected to a dedicated printer. The hardware handshake wire connected to Pin 20 of the DB25 connector is optional, as the computer can be made to insert null characters after each carriage return to match the computer data transmission rate to the printer speed.
TIP - Most printers default to the draft mode. Leave it there for maximum performance. Because of impact printer limitations, no speed improvement is obtained by selecting baud rates over 2.4kbps.

Connecting to a Shared Printer (Port 1)
Up to 12 Omni flow computers can share a printer. They are connected as shown. One flow computer is assigned as the master and manages all traffic to the printer. Each computer monitors the data transmitted to the printer by having its TX terminal jumpered to its RX terminal. Resident firmware ensures that only one computer will attempt to access the printer at any one time.
INFO - Note that only 1 terminating pull-down resistor is jumpered in place.

Print Sharing Problems
Most problems associated with printer sharing show up as garbled reports or locked up printers. This is usually caused by one or more computers sending data to the printer at the same time. Check your wiring to the figure above and consult the following checklist if you experience problems: 1) Check that all computers are set to the same baud rate, stop bits, and parity settings as the printer. 2) All computers must have the Transmitter Key Delay set to zero (0). 3) One and only one computer must have its Printer Priority Number set to 1. All computers must have a different priority number. 4) Some printers provide jumpers or switches which set the polarity of the Printer Ready signal on Pin 20. This signal must be positive when the printer is ready. 5) When not using the Printer Ready signal (Pin 20), ensure that you have entered enough NULs to prevent overrunning the printer buffer.

8. Diagnostic and Calibration Features

8.1. Introduction
In the diagnostic mode you can verify that the I/O modules and transducers are working and are calibrated to specification. The actual process transducers used may provide a variety of signal types, ranging from voltage or current pulses of various levels, to linear analog signals such as 4-20 mA., 1-5V, 0-1V or RTD elements. In the case of pulse inputs, the input module provides amplification and/or level shifting, Schmitt triggering and opto-isolation. When analog signals are used the input module provides all signal conditioning, opto-isolation, and converts the analog signal to a high frequency pulse train, in the range of 0 - 20 kHz. By using a precision voltage to frequency converter, typical linearity of +/-0.01 % is obtained. Certain diagnostic displays are always available while in the Display Mode. For example pressing [Input] then [Display] will display the raw frequency input from each process input point. The up/down arrow keys can be used to scroll through all inputs. A typical display shows:
INFO - When viewing an analog input point, the frequency displayed approximates 1000Hz/mA. When viewing a turbine or photo pulsar signal, the display is the actual input frequency.
Input % Freq/Period #1 2530 Input % /Freq/Period #2 3021 Pressing [Output] [Status] [Display] shows the current percentage output for each of the digital to analog 4-20 mA outputs.

Calibration Instructions
Calibrating A Voltage or Current Analog Input
While the above display is shown select the input variable to calibrate. For example to calibrate Meter Run #1 Temperature, press [Meter] [1] [Temp] (or the input # if known). The display shows: Select Input/Output to Calibrate, Press "Diag" to Exit Meter 1 Temp Other key press combinations work. [Temp] [Meter] [1] means the same to the computer as [Meter] [1] [Temp]. Pressing [Temp] without a meter number allows all of the temperatures to be scrolled through and calibrated. Now enter the selection by pressing [Display] and the following is displayed: Temperature #1 Input# & Module 1-a1 Override 60.0 Calibrate Input ? _
INFO - Unless previously entered, a request for a valid password is made at this point. The calibrate override value entered will be substituted for all process variables assigned to this physical I/O point when the user answers [Y] to Calibrate Input ?. It is automatically removed when the user presses the [Diag] key to exit or make a new selection.
The display shows the process variable name, the input channel number and combo module used. This example shows Temperature Meter Run #1 connected to Channel 1 of Combo Module A1. Before calibrating an input the user should enter a Cal Override value to be used in all calculations in place of the live value. Answer [Y] to the 'Calibrate Input ?' question and the following is displayed: Meter 1 % Value Input Volts mA Value 27.5 50.00 3.000 12.00

To calibrate the input channel follow these instructions:
INFO - Each input channel of each combo module has had its temperature coefficient trimmed to 10 ppm/F. To avoid temperature gradient effects and for best results, always allow the internal temperature of the computer to stabilize before making your final calibration adjustments. INFO - The []/[] keys are used as a software Zero potentiometer. Adjustments made when the Shift LED is on are approximately ten times more sensitive. Holding the arrow keys longer than two seconds speeds up the rate of adjustment.
1) Disconnect the transducer signal and replace it with a stable current or voltage source capable of inputting 4.000 to 20.000 mA or 1.000 to 5.000 V signal. 2) Set the input signal to 4.000 mA or 1.000 V as applicable. 3) Using the Up/Down arrow keys adjust the displayed value so it reads 4.000 mA / 1.000 V. 4) Set the input signal to 20.000 mA or 5.000 V as applicable. 5) Using the Left/Right arrow keys adjust the displayed value so it reads 20.000 mA / 5.000 V. 6) Recheck step 2) No further adjustment is normally needed if the Zero is adjusted at exactly 4.0 mA. 7) Disconnect the calibrator signal and reconnect the transducer signal. 8) Press the [Diag] key to return to the selection screen.

TIP - The Span adjustment has no effect at 4mA or 1v. Always adjust the Zero first at exactly 4mA or 1v.

INFO - Each input channel of each combo module has had its temperature coefficient trimmed to 10 ppm/F. To avoid temperature gradient effects and for best results, always allow the internal temperature of the computer to stabilize before making your final calibration adjustments.
1) Disconnect the RTD probe and connect precision decade resistance box. capable of inputting 25.00 to 150.00 Ohms as shown below. 2) Set the decade box to 25.00 Ohms. 3) Using the Up/Down arrow keys adjust the displayed value so it reads 25.00 Ohms. 4) Set the decade box to 150.00 Ohms. 5) Using the Left/Right arrow keys adjust the displayed value so it reads 150.00 Ohms. 6) Recheck step 2). No further adjustment is normally needed if the Zero is adjusted at exactly 25 Ohms. 7) Disconnect the decade box and reconnect the RTD probe. 8) Press the [Diag] key to return to the selection screen. Select Input/Output to Calibrate, Press "Diag" to Exit
INFO - Installing the decade box at the actual RTD probe location provides maximum accuracy, but can be inconvenient. The errors introduced by installing the decade box at the back panel terminals of the flow computer are approximately 0.01% per 100 ohms of field wiring resistance.
TIP - The Span adjustment has no effect at 4mA or 1v. Always adjust the Zero first at exactly 4mA or 1v.

Calibrating a 4 to 20 mA Digital to Analog Output
Each of the analog outputs can be calibrated by monitoring the loop current with an accurate milliamp meter and setting the output current to 4.00 mA and 20.00 mA. For example to calibrate Analog Output #1 proceed as follows: While the 'Select Input/Output' screen is displayed, press [Output] [1] [Display]. The display shows: Analog Output #1 0%=4mA, 100%=20mA Override % 0.00 Calibrate Output ? _
CAUTION!
Answer [Y] to the 'Calibrate Output ?' question and the display shows: Analog Output #1 0%=4mA, 100%=20mA Override % 0.00 Override Now Active To calibrate the output channel follow these steps: 1) Connect an accurate milliamp meter in series with the load. 2) Input 0.00 % (4.00 mA) as the output override. 3) Using the Up/Down arrow keys adjust the output current until the milliamp meter indicates 4.00 mA. 4) Input 100.00 % (20.00 mA) as the output override. 5) Using the Left/Right arrow key adjust the output current until the milliamp meter indicates 20.00 mA. 6) Repeat steps 2) through 5) until no further improvement can be obtained. 7) Remove the milliamp meter and reconnect the load. 8) Press the [Diag] key to return to the selection screen.
At this point, the analog output reflects the value of the currently displayed override, not the assigned variable. The user must ensure that any equipment using the output signal will not cause an unsafe condition to arise or cause erroneous results to be generated.

1.1.
INFO - Within the document the following convention is used to describe various key press sequences: Individual keys are shown in bold enclosed in brackets and separated by a space. Although not always indicated, it is assumed for the rest of this document that the [Display/Enter] key is used at the end of every key press sequence to enter a command.
Overview of the Keypad Functions
Thirty-four keys are available. Eight special function keys and twenty-six dedicated to the alphanumeric characters A through Z, 0 through 9 and various punctuation and math symbols. The [Display/Enter] key, located at the bottom right, deserves special mention. This key is always used to execute a sequence of key presses. It is not unlike that the Enter key of a personal computer. Except when entering numbers in a field, the maximum number of keys that can be used in a key press sequence is four (not counting the [Display/Enter] key).

Basic Operating Features

Key words such as Density, Mass and Temp appear over each of the alphanumeric keys. These key words indicate what data will be accessed when included in a key press sequence. Pressing [Net] [Meter] [1] for instance will display net flow rates and total accumulations for Meter Run #1. Pressing the [Net] key causes net flow rates and total accumulations for all active meter runs to be displayed. In many instances, the computer attempts to recognize similar key press sequences as meaning the same thing; i.e., [Net] [1], [Meter] [1] [Net] and [Net] [Meter] [1] all cause the net volume data for Meter Run #1 to be displayed. In most cases, more data is available on a subject then can be displayed on four lines. The [ ]/[ ] (up/down) arrow keys allow you to scroll through multiple screens.

1.2.
Operating Modes
Keyboard operation and data displayed in the LCD display depends on which of the 3 major display and entry modes are selected.
1.2.1.
Display Mode
This is the normal mode of operation. Live meter run data is displayed and updated every 200 msec. Data cannot be changed while in this mode.
1.2.2.
Keypad Program Mode
Configuration data needed by the flow computer can be viewed and changed via the keypad while in this mode. When the Program Mode is entered by pressing the [Prog] key, the Program LED glows green. This changes to red when a valid password is requested and entered.
1.2.3.
Diagnostic and Calibration Mode
The diagnostic and calibration features of the computer are accessed by pressing the [Diag] key ([Alpha Shift] then [Prog]. This mode allows you to check and adjust the calibration of each input and output point. The Diagnostic LED glows green until a valid password is requested and entered.
1.2.4.
Field Entry Mode
You are in this mode whenever the data entry cursor is visible, which is anytime the user is entering a number or password while in the Program Mode or Diagnostic Mode.

Special Keys
Display/Enter (Help) Key
This key is located bottom-right on the keypad. Pressing once while in the Field Entry Mode will store the data entered in the field to memory. Pressing twice within one second will cause the contextsensitive Help to be displayed. The Help displays contain useful information regarding available variable assignments and selections. When in other modes, use it at the end of a key press sequence to enter the command.
1.3.2.
Up/Down Arrow Keys []/[]
These keys are located top-center on the keypad. When in the Display Mode, the [ ]/[ ] keys are used to scroll through data relevant to a particular selection. When in the Program Mode, they are used to scroll through data and position the cursor on data to be viewed or changed. In the Diagnostic Mode, The up/down arrow keys are initially used to position the cursor within the field of data being changed. Once you select an input or output to calibrate or adjust, the up/down arrow keys are used as a software zero potentiometer.

1.3.3.
Left/Right Arrow Keys []/[]
These keys are located top-center on the keypad; to the left and right respectively of the Up/Down Arrow Keys. The [ ]/[ ] keys have no effect while in the Display Mode. When in Program Mode, they are used to position the cursor within a data field. In the Diagnostic Mode, they are initially used to position the cursor within the field of data to be changed. Once you select an input or output to calibrate or adjust, the left/right arrow keys are used as software span potentiometer.

1.3.4.
Alpha Shift Key and LED
This key is located top-right on the keypad. Pressing the [Alpha Shift] key while in the Field Entry Mode causes the Alpha Shift LED above the key to glow green, indicating that the next valid key press will be interpreted as its shifted value. The Alpha Shift LED is then turned off automatically when the next valid key is pressed. Pressing the [Alpha Shift] key twice causes the Alpha Shift LED to glow red and the shift lock to be active. All valid keys are interpreted as their shifted value until the [Alpha Shift] key is pressed or the [Display/Enter] key is pressed. When in the Calibrate Mode, zero and span adjustments made via the arrow keys are approximately ten times more sensitive when the Alpha Shift LED is on.

Static Discharges - It has been found that applications of electrostatic discharges may cause the Active Alarm LED to glow red. Pressing the [Space/Clear] key will acknowledge the alarm and turn off the red alarm light.
Space/Clear (Cancel/Ack) Key
This key is located bottom-left on the keypad. Pressing this key while in the Display Mode acknowledges any new alarms that occur. The Active Alarm LED will also change from red to green indicating an alarm condition exists but has been acknowledged. When in the Field Entry Mode, unshifted, it causes the current variable field being changed to be cleared, leaving the cursor at the beginning of the field awaiting new data to be entered. With the Alpha Shift LED illuminated, it causes the key to be interpreted as a space or blank. When in all other modes, it cancels the current key press sequence by flushing the key input buffer.
1.4.
Adjusting the Display
Once the computer is mounted in its panel you may need to adjust the viewing angle and backlight intensity of the LCD display for optimum performance. You may need to re-adjust the brightness setting of the display should the computer be subjected to transient electrical interference. While in the Display Mode (Program LED and Diagnostic LED off), press [Setup] [Display] and follow the displayed instructions: Use Up/Down Arrows To Adjust Contrast; Left, Right Arrows To Adjust Backlight

2. PID Control Functions

2.1. Overview of PID Control Functions
Four independent control loops are available. Each loop is capable of controlling a primary variable (usually flow rate) with a secondary override variable (usually meter back pressure or delivery pressure). The primary and secondary set points can be adjusted locally via the keypad and remotely via a communication link. In addition, the primary set point can be adjusted via an analog input to the computer. Contact closures can be used to initiate the startup and shutdown ramp function which limits the control output slew rate during startup and shutdown conditions. A high or low 'error select' function causes automatic override control by the secondary variable in cases where it is necessary either to maintain a minimum secondary process value or limit the secondary process maximum value. Local manual control of the control output and bumpless transfer between automatic and manual control is incorporated.

IMPORTANT!
PID Control Remote Setpoint
You must assign a remote setpoint input even if one will not be used. The 4-20mA scaling of this input determines the scaling of the primary controlled variable.
As described above, the PID control loop can be configured to accept either a local setpoint or a remote setpoint value for the primary variable. The remote setpoint is derived from an analog input (usually 4-20 mA). This input is scaled in engineering units and would usually come from another device such as an RTU. High/Low limits are applied to the remote setpoint signal to eliminate possible problems of over or under speeding a turbine meter (see Volume 1, Chapter 8 for more details).

2.7.
IMPORTANT!
PID Control Tuning
PID Control Tuning - The primary variable must be tuned first. When tuning the primary variable loop, you must set the secondary setpoint high or low enough to the point where it will not take control. Otherwise, the PID loop will become very unstable and virtually impossible to tune. Adjust the primary gain and integral repeats per minute until you achieve stable control. Likewise, when tuning the secondary setpoint, the primary must be set so it cannot interfere. Once you have achieved stable control of both loops, you can then enter the setpoints established for each loop at normal operating conditions.
Individual control of gain and integral action are provided for both the primary and secondary control loops. Tune the primary variable loop first by setting the secondary setpoint high or low enough to stop the secondary control loop from taking control. Adjust the primary gain and integral repeats per minutes for stable control. Reset the primary and secondary set points to allow control on the secondary variable without interference from the primary variable. Adjust the secondary gain and integral repeats per minute for stable control of the secondary variable.
2.7.1.
Estimating The Required Controller Gain For Each Process Loop
Each process loop will exhibit a gain function. A change in control valve output will produce a corresponding change in each of the process variables. The ratio of these changes represents the gain of the loop (For example: If a 10 % change in control output causes a 10% change in the process variable, the loop gain is 1.0. If a 10 % change in control output causes a 20 % change in process variable, the loop gain is 2.0). To provide stable control the gain of each loop with the controller included must be less than 1.0. In practice the controller gain is usually adjusted so that the total loop gain is between 0.6 and 0.9. Unfortunately the gain of each loop can vary with operating conditions. For example: A butterfly control valve may have a higher gain when almost closed to when it is almost fully open. This means that in many cases the controller gain must be set low so that stable control is achieved over the required range of control. To estimate the gain of each loop proceed as follows for the required range of operating conditions: (1) In manual, adjust the control output for required flowing conditions and note process variable values. (2) Make a known percentage step change of output (i.e., from 20% to 22% equals a 10% change). (3) Note the percentage change of each process variable (i.e., 100 m3/hr to 110 m3/hr equals a 10% change).
INFO - The primary gain interacts with the secondary gain. The actual secondary gain factor is the product of the primary gain and secondary gain factors.
(4) Primary Gain Estimate = 0.75 / (Primary Loop Gain). (5) Secondary Gain = Estimate). 0.75 / (Secondary Loop Gain x Primary Gain

2.7.2.
Estimating The Repeats / Minutes And Fine Tuning The Gain
(1) Set the 'repeats / minute' to 40 for both primary and secondary loops. (2) Adjust set points so that only the primary (sec) loop is trying to control. (3) While controlling the primary (sec) variable, increase the primary (sec) gain until some controlled oscillation is observed. (4) Set the primary (sec) 'repeats/minute' to equal 0.75 / (Period of the oscillation in minutes). (5) Set the primary (sec) gain to 75% of the value needed to make the loop oscillate. (6) Repeat (2) through (5) for the secondary variable loop.

3. Computer Batching Operations

3.1. Introduction
A complete set of software batch totalizers and flow weighted averages are also provided in addition to the daily and cumulative totalizers. These totalizers and averages can be printed, saved and reset automatically, based on the number of barrels or cubic meters delivered, change of product or on demand. The Omni flow computer can keep track of 4 independent meter runs running any combination of 16 different products. Flowmeter runs can be combined and treated as a station. The batch totalizers and batch flow weighted averages are printed, saved and reset at the end of each batch. The next batch starts automatically when the pulses from the flowmeter exceed the meter active threshold frequency. Pulses received up to that point which do not exceed the threshold frequency are still included in the new batch, but the batch start time and date are not captured until the threshold is exceeded.
3.2.
Batch Status
The batch status appears on the Status Report and is defined as either: o In Progress ------- Batch is in progress with the meter active. o Suspended ------- Batch is in progress with the meter not active. o Batch Ended ----- Batch End has been received, meter not active.

Computer Batching Operations
3.3.
Batch Schedule Stack
When running independent products on each meter run, each flowmeter run has a batch schedule stack which stores the setup information for up to 5 future batches. The setup information is popped off the appropriate stack by the computer at the beginning of each batch. When all meter runs are running the same product, the individual meter run batch schedule stacks are combined and organized to store up to the next 23 future station batches.
3.3.1.
TIP - When ending a batch with flow occurring, remember that the next batch will start immediately after you end the current one. You should check that the batch schedule contains the correct setup information for that batch.
Empty Batch Schedule Stacks
The flow computer will use the batch setup data for the batch last completed if the meters batch schedule stack is empty at the beginning of a new next batch.
3.3.2.
Manually Editing the Batch Schedule Stack
Pressing [Prog] [Batch] [Setup] or [Prog] [Meter] [n] [Batch] [Setup] displays the screen similar to that shown below. The screen shows information regarding the current running batch. The 16 character batch ID number appears on all reports and can be edited at any time during a batch. The starting size of the batch in net barrels is used to determine the value of the batch preset counter.

Ending a Batch
A batch in progress is ended by setting the appropriate End Batch Flag in the computers database. This can be done manually from the keypad, on a timed basis, through a digital I/O point or via a Modbus command.
3.4.1.
Using the Product Change Strobes to End a Batch
Batches can be ended and products changed by using the Product Change Strobes (Boolean 1707 and 1747 through 1750). Setting any of these Boolean commands, either through a digital input or writing it through a Modbus port, will cause the flow computer to: (1) End the batch in progress and print a batch report. (2) Determine what the next product to run will be by decoding the binary coded Product Select Input flags (Booleans 1743 through 1746). (3) Write the number of the selected product into the next batch stack position. (4) Pop the batch setup off the stack and start a new batch.

Automatic Batch Changes Based on Product Interface Detection
Automatic batch changes can be made by the computer by monitoring the rate of change of the products specific gravity/density during the final moments of a batch. For example, a Boolean point can be programmed to be active whenever the specific gravity rate of change flag is set and the batch warning flag is set. A digital output can then be assigned to this interface detected Boolean flag and can be used to cause a batch end command. Specific gravity disturbances which may occur during the batch will be alarmed but will not be used to end a batch unless the batch warning flag has been reached.

4. Specific Gravity/Density Rate of Change

4.1.
SG & Dens - Delta Specific Gravity (SG) refers to U.S. customary units and is measured per barrel. Delta Density (Dens) refers to metric units and is measured in kilograms per cubic meter. The SG (or Dens) function is the smallest difference in specific gravity (or density) between two products that will form the product interface.
Specific Gravity/Density Rate of Change Alarm Flag
The specific gravity/density rate of change alarm flag is a flag within the database which is set whenever the rate of change of the station gravity/density with respect to flow (SG or Dens see sidebar) exceeds the preset limit. It is used to detect a change in flowing product and is available for use in programmable Boolean equations and digital I/O functions.
4.2.
Delayed Specific Gravity/Density Rate of Change Alarm Flag
In many cases the densitometer or gravitometer used to detect the product interface is mounted many Bbls (m3 or liter3) ahead of the valve manifold used to cut the product and end the batch. A second gravity/density rate of change flag which is delayed by the amount of line pack Bbls or m3 provides an accurate indication of when the interface reaches the actual valve manifold. Next Interface Due Barrels 156 The 'Next Interface Due' counter shows the number of Bbls or m3 of line pack remaining before the leading edge of the product interface reaches the valve manifold. A minus number indicates that the leading edge has passed. Up to three interfaces can be tracked between the interface detector and the valve manifold.

Specific Gravity Rate of Change
4.3.
SG & Dens - Delta Specific Gravity (SG) refers to U.S. customary units and is measured per barrel. Delta Density (Dens) refers to metric units and is measured per cubic meter. The SG (or Dens) function is the smallest difference in specific gravity (or density) between two products that will form the product interface.
Determining the Gravity Rate of Change Limits
To accurately detect the product interface it is important to set the gravity rate of change limits correctly. This limit is expressed as change in Specific Gravity per Net Bbl or m3 (SG/Bbl or Dens/m3 see sidebar) and as such is flow rate independent. Too small a limit will cause minor disturbances to be detected and too large will cause the interface to be missed. For example: A pipeline runs ISO-Butane (0.565), N-Butane (0.585) and Propane (0.507). The smallest SG in this case is 0.585 minus 0.565, which equals 0.020 SG units. It was observed that once an interface was detected, 33 Bbls passed before the specific gravity stabilized at the new gravity. The actual gravity rate of change limit for this example is calculated as: 0.20 / 33 = 0.0006 ( SG/Bbl)
To ensure that we reliably detect the gravity rate of change, we set the rate of change limits to one third of the actual expected rate of change (i.e., 0.0006/2) which is 0.0002. To enter this value, press [Prog] [Meter] [Enter]. Scroll down to 'Grav Change' and enter 0.0006. Meter Station Grav Change Line Pack

The auto prove mode requires that a prover is available on a continuous basis with motorized actuators on the appropriate valves. Flowmeters can be automatically proved whenever the flow rate varies more than a certain amount from the flow rate that existed when the flowmeter was last proved or when the meter factor was manually entered. Flowmeters can also be proved whenever a certain amount of flow has been measured without a proving, or after a meter has been shut-in for more than a certain period of time and flow has been started. Entries are provided in the [Prog] [Prove] [Setup] menu to: q Enter the percentage change in flow rate which will trigger an auto-prove request. q Enter a minimum number of Bbls (or m3)/hr flow rate change to trigger an auto-prove request (needed at the lower flow rates where the percentage change would be a very small volume change). q Specify the period of time that the flow must remain at the new changed rate before a prove sequence is started. q Specify the period of time that a meter must be shut in before the need for a prove sequence is flagged. q Specify the maximum amount of flow between proves. An additional entry in the [Prog] [Meter] [n] menu is required to activate or put a meter run into the Auto-prove Mode.

Repeated Prove Aborts While in the Auto-Prove Mode
If 10 consecutive prove aborts occur when trying to auto-prove a specific meter, auto-prove for that meter will be disabled (each prove abort reason will also be logged into the historical alarm stack). If during the Auto-prove Mode, a prove is completed and the meter factor is not implemented because of an unexpected meter factor shift. The computer will wait the allowed time (Inactive Timer under Prove Setup) before trying another prove run. If the second completed run cannot implement the meter factor, then the Auto-prove Mode for that meter will be disabled.

1.11. Batching and Interface Detection

Six batch setups per meter run can be programmed with alphanumeric batch ID tag, product number to run and expected size of batch. Individual meter run batch preset down counters provide 'batch end warning' and 'batch end reached' alarms. Batches can be ended manually or automatically on size of batch, change of product, beginning of new day, day of the week or day of the month. Product interface detection is achieved using a station interface detector densitometer mounted ahead of the meter runs. Line pack count down counters allow up to three product interfaces to be tracked between the interface detector gravitometer and the valve manifold allowing pre-emptive product cuts.
1.12. Auto Proving Features

Fully automated proving to API chapter 12. User configured for Uni-, Bidirectional and compact provers with optional inlet and outlet temperature and pressure sensors. Both up-stream and downstream water draw volume inputs are available. Plenum chamber pressure on a Brooks prover is also input as an analog and controlled by the computer. Master meter proving is also featured. Provings can be triggered on change of flow rate versus last known prove for each meter or on the amount of flow which has occurred since the last prove. Proves can also be triggered by a meter being shut in for more than a specified amount of time.
1.13. Retroactive Meter Factors and Override Gravity

Meter factors and override product gravity can be applied retroactively for a selectable number of barrels at any time during a batch. Meter factors determined by a prove can be automatically implemented from that point or retroactively to the beginning of the batch.
1.14. Retroactive Density Correction Factor

Density correction factors can be applied retroactively for a selectable number of barrels at any time during a batch.
1.15. Flow Rate/Viscosity Linearizing

Viscosity/Flow Rate Linearizing of Helical Turbine/Positive Displacement meters can be accomplished by apply a linearization correction factor (LCF) to the incoming flowmeter pulses. The LCF is calculated in real time by monitoring a live viscosity input signal which is input via the auxiliary inputs.

Four independent control loops are provided for control of a primary variable with either high or low override control by a secondary variable. Contact closure inputs are activated to provide a startup and shutdown ramp function for each control loop if needed. Primary setpoint can be adjusted via an analog input, a keypad entry or communication link. Control loops are not dedicated and may be cascaded. Data is processed every 500 msec.
1.17. Flow Weighted Averages

Flow weighted averages are calculated for all input variables and correction factors based on hourly, daily totals and running batch totals.
1.18. User-Programmable Digital I/O

Each I/O point is individually configurable as either an input or output with variable 'Delay On' and 'Delay Off'. Pulse widths are adjustable when used as auxiliary totalizer outputs or sampler outputs.
1.19. User-Programmable Logic Functions

Sixty-four logic statements can be user programmed to control meter run switching, prover loop and provide user auxiliary control functions.
1.20. User-Programmable Alarm Functions

Sixteen of the programmable logic statements described above can be used to contain custom text messages which can be displayed, logged and printed.
1.21. User-Programmable Variables

Sixty-four user variables can be programmed to manipulate data for display and printing or remote access via a communication port. Typical uses include, special units conversions, customer averaging algorithms for leak detection, special limit checking and control functions. The programmable variable statements can also be used to type cast data of one type to another (i.e., change a floating point variable to an integer type so that a PLC or DCS system can make use of it).
1.22. User Display Setups

The user may specify eight key press combinations which recall display screens. Each user display screen can show four variables each with a descriptive tag defined by the user.

Configuration data can be entered using one of three methods: 1) Configure off-line using the OmniCom PC configuration program and then uploading all data at once. 2) Configure on-line using the OmniCom PC configuration program which uploads each change as it is entered. 3) Enter configuration data via the front panel keypad using the Program Mode. Methods 1) and 2) require an IBM compatible PC running the OmniCom Configuration Software and are described in Volume 5 and in OmniCom Help. Method 3) is described here.

Menu Selection Method

! " #$ #$ % &

TIP - It is best to use the menu selection method when programming an application for the first time as every possible option and variable will be prompted. Once a computer is in operation and you become familiar with the application you can decide to use the faster Random Access Method described on the facing page. While in the Program Mode (program LED on) press [Setup] [Enter]. A menu similar to the following will be displayed.
Use the [ ]/[ ] (up/down arrow) keys to move the cursor to the appropriate entry and press [Enter] to access a particular submenu. The first menu, 'Misc Configuration', should always be completed first as these entries specify the number and type of input and output devices connected to the flow computer; i.e., the menus following the 'Misc Configuration' menu do not ask for configuration data unless a transducer has been defined.

2.2.4.
Random Access Method
In addition to the Setup Menu, the data is also presented in related groups such as Temperature, Pressure, Meter, etc. You press the group key of your choice to get to a data area. By specifying a meter run before or after a group you go directly to the data for that group and that group only. Once a group is selected use the 'Up/Down' arrow keys to step to a specific data entry within the group. You can view data and, assuming a valid password has been entered, change its value as required. If an error is made, press [Clear], re-enter the correct data and press [Enter] to enter the new value. The cursor will automatically step to the next data item in that group unless that would cause a total change of screen (i.e., you can always verify your entry). A list of data groups and associated key presses is listed later in this chapter.
Example:
Pressing [Temp] will allow you access to temperature data for all meter runs. Pressing [Meter] [1] [Temp] or [Temp] [Meter] [1] will allow access to only Meter Run #1 temperature data. For example, pressing [Meter] [1] [Temp] will display the following until the [Enter] key is pressed.

Passwords
Except when changing transducer high/low alarm limits, a password is usually asked for when changing the configuration data within the computer. The flow computer has independent password protection of the following: t Local Keypad Access / Modbus Port #1 (selectable) (Physical Serial Port #1) t Modbus Port #2 - (Physical Serial Port #2) t Modbus Port #3 - (Physical Serial Port #3) t Modbus Port #4 - (Physical Serial Port #4)
Local Keypad Access

Three password levels are provided: u Privileged Level Allows complete access to all entries within the flow computer including keypad passwords 1, 1A and 2 below. The initial privileged password for each Modbus port is selected via this password level. This level allows technician access to most entries within the flow computer with the exception of I/O Points assignments, programmable variables and Boolean statements and passwords other than Keypad Level 1. This level allows technician access to the following entries only: Meter Factors K Factors Densitometer

Getting Help
INFO - The Help System is not limited to just the Program Mode. Context sensitive help is available in all modes of operation.
Context sensitive help is available for most data entries. Help is summoned by pressing the [Display/Enter] key twice ([Help] key) with the cursor on the data field in question. Help screens are frequently more than 1 full screen so always use the []/[] keys to scroll in case there is more. Press [Prog] or [Enter] once to exit the help system and return to your original screen.
2.4.
Program Inhibit Switch
A 'Program Inhibit Switch' mounted behind the front panel prevents unauthorized changing of data when in the 'Inhibit' position. Most data can be viewed while the switch is in the program inhibit position, but any attempt to alter data will be ignored and cause 'PROGRAM LOCKOUT' to be displayed on the bottom line of the LCD display. The inner enclosure of the flow computer can be locked or sealed within the outer enclosure blocking access to the 'Program Inhibit Switch'.

This entry is used to determine under what circumstances the primary or secondary variable is to be controlled. There are two modes of low/high error select: Mode #1: The controller will attempt to control the primary variable but will switch to controlling the secondary variable, should the controller be trying to drive the secondary variable ABOVE its setpoint. An example of this mode would be controlling flow rate (primary) while not exceeding a MAXIMUM delivery pressure (secondary). The controller will attempt to control primary variable but will switch to controlling the secondary variable, should the controller be trying to drive the secondary variable BELOW its setpoint. An example of this mode would be controlling flow rate (primary) while not dropping below a MINIMUM pressure value (secondary).

Program Booleans - These 64 Boolean statements are evaluated every 100 msec starting at Point 1025 continuing through 1088. Each statement can contain up to 3 Boolean variables, optionally preceded by the slash (/) denoting the NOT Function and separated by a valid Boolean operator: Operator Symbol NOT / AND & OR + EXOR * EQUAL = IF ) GOTO G MOVE : COMPARE % INDIRECT E.g.: 1025:1002&/1003 Boolean 1025 is true when point 1002 is true AND point 1003 is NOT true. Note: Points 1002 and 1003 in this example reflect the status of Physical I/O Points 2 and 3. There are no limitations as to what Boolean points can be used in a statement. Statements can contain the results from other statements. E.g.: 1026: /1025+1105 Boolean 1026 is true when Boolean 1025 is NOT true OR Point 1105 is true. Using the = operator, the result of a statement can initiate a command. E.g.: 1027: 1719=1026 Request a Snapshot Report when Boolean 1026 is true.

Programmable Variables These 64 variable statements are evaluated every 500 msec starting at the statement that determines the value of Points 7025 through 7088. Each statement can contain up to 3 variables or constants. Variables can be optionally preceded by the $ symbol denoting the ABSOLUTE value of the variable is to be used. Constants are identified by placing a # symbol ahead of the number. These and other operators are: Operator Symbol ABSOLUTE $ CONSTANT # POWER & MULTIPLY * DIVIDE / ADD + SUBTRACT EQUAL = IF ) GOTO G MOVE : COMPARE % INDIRECT The order of precedence is: 1) ABSOLUTE 2) POWER 3) MULTIPLY/DIVIDE 4) ADD/SUBTRACT In cases where operators have the same precedence, statements are evaluated left to right. E.g.: The value of floating point variable 7035 is defined as: 35:7027&#5*7026 The power operator is evaluated first (the value of Point 7035 is set equal to the square root of the number contained in Point 7027) and the result is multiplied by the number stored in variable 7026. Note that statements can contain the results of other statements. (See OmniCom Help for more information by pressing [F1] on your PC keyboard in the Configure Variable Statement menu.)

Skip CRC/LCR Check - If you have disabled the error checking on incoming messages, you must substitute dummy bytes in the message string. Outgoing messages will always include the error checking bytes.

_______ _______ _______ _______
Many protocols use either a CRC, LCR or BCC error check to ensure that data received is not corrupted. The flow computer can be configured to ignore the eror checking on incomimg messages. This allows software developers an easy means of debugging communications software. Error checking should only be disabled temporarily when debugging the master slave communication link. Enter [Y] to perform error checking on incoming messages. For maximum data integrity always enter [Y] during normal running conditions. Enter [N] to disable error checking on incoming messages. This entry will be disabled for Serial Port #1 if a printer is selected as the port type.
2.5.17. Peer-to- Peer Communications Settings

Serial Port #2 of the flow computer can be configured to act as a simple Modbus slave port or as a peer-to-peer communication link. Using the peer-topeer link allows multiple flow computers to be interconnected and share data. Enter [Y] at Peer / Peer Comm (Y) ? of the Misc Setup menu to open the following submenu: {L1} Activate Redundancy _______________
The active redundancy feature allows two flow computers to operate as a pair. Each flow computer receives the same process signals and performs the same calculations; i.e., in redundancy. Enter [Y] to allow both flow computers to manage the peer-to-peer link between them and automatically switch between being the master or slave computer. Important data such as meter factors and PID control settings can be continually exchanged between flow computers ensuring that at any time, should a failure occur to one, the other unit would be able to assume control of the PID and ticketing functions. The redundancy mode requires that four digital I/O ports be cross-connected to sense watchdog failure modes using the following points 2714=Input master status, 2864=Output Master status, 2713 Input watchdog status, 2863 = Output of watchdog status. (See Technical Bulletin TB980402 in Volume 5.)
{L1} Next Master

TIP - For maximum efficiency, always start Modbus ID numbers from 1.
_______________
Enter the slave number of the next flow computer in sequence in the peer-to-peer communication sequence to pass over control. After the flow computer completes all of it's transactions it will attempt to pass over master control of the Modbus link to this Modbus ID. Enter the Modbus ID of this flow computer if there are no other peers in sequence on the communication link. Enter [0] to disable the peer-to-peer feature and use Serial Port #2 as a standard Modbus slave port.
{L1} Last ID # Master in Sequence
_______________
Enter the slave number of the last Omni (the highest Modbus ID number) in the peer-to-peer communication sequence. This is required for error recovery. Should this flow computer be unable to hand over control to the 'next master in sequence' (see previous entry), it will attempt to establish communications with a Modbus slave with a higher Modbus ID. It will keep trying until the ID number exceeds this entry. At that point the flow computer will start at Modbus ID #1. Enter the Modbus ID of this flow computer if it is the only master on the link.
{L1} Retry Timer
_______________
Should any slave device fail to respond to a communication request, the master device will retry to establish communications several times. Enter the number of 50 millisecond ticks that the flow computer should wait for a response from the slave device. To ensure fast recovery from communication failures, set this entry to as low a number as possible. Enter [3] for peer-to-peer links involving only Omni flow computers. Other Modbus devices may require more time to respond.

INFO - Characters in { } refer to password levels. Characters in [ ] refer to key presses.

_______________
Each transfer of data is called a transaction. Enter the Modbus ID # of the other slave involved in the transaction. Modbus ID 0 can be used to broadcast write to all Modbus slave devices connected to the peer-to-peer link. Other valid IDs range from 1-247.
Read/Write Source
_______________ _______________
Enter [R] if data will be read from the slave. Enter [W] if data will be written to the slave. INFO - The Omni Flow Computer determines what Modbus function code and what data type is involved by the Modbus index number of the data within the Omnis database. The Source Index determines the data type for a write. The Destination Index determines the data type for a read. Function codes used are:
01=Read Multiple Booleans 15=Write Multiple Booleans 03=Read Multiple Variables 16=Write Multiple Variables
Enter the database index number or address of the Modbus point where the data is to be obtained, corresponding to the first data point of the transaction. This is the slaves database index number when the transaction is a read, and the masters database index number when the transaction is a write. Refer to Volume 4 for a list of available database addresses or index numbers.
Points
_______________
Enter the number of contiguous points to transfer. Each transaction can transfer multiple data points that can be any valid data type recognized by the Omni. The maximum number of points that can be transferred depends on the type of data. IEEE floats (4bytes each)=63 max; 32-bit Integers (4 bytes each)=63 max; 16-bit integers (2 bytes each)=127 max; packed coils or status (8 to a byte)=2040 max. The Omni automatically knows what Modbus function to use and what data types are involved by the Modbus index number of the data within the flow computer database. The destination index number determines the data type when the transactions is a read. The source index number determines the data type when the transaction is a write.
Dest Indx
_______________
Enter the database index number or address of where the data is to be stored (destination index or address). If the transaction is a read, this will be the index number within the master Omnis database. If the transaction is a write, this will be the register number within the remote slaves database.

2.5.18. Custom Modbus Data Packet Settings

INFO - Packets defined are usually read-only and must always be retrieved as a packet. When Modicon 984 is selected these packet setup entries are used to define a logical array of variables which can be read or written in any grouping. The number of data points is always input in terms of Omni logical elements; i.e., an IEEE floating piont number comprises two 16-bit words but is considered one logical element.
Custom Modbus Data Packets are provided to reduce the number of polls needed to read multiple variables which may be in different areas of the database. Groups of data points of any type of data can be concatenated into one packet by entering each data group starting index numbers 001, 201 and 401. The number of data bytes in a custom packet in non-Modicon compatible mode cannot exceed 250 (RTU mode) or 500 (ASCII mode). When Modicon compatible is selected, the number of data bytes in a custom packet cannot exceed 400 (RTU mode) or 800 (ASCII mode). Enter [1], [2] or [3] to select a data packet at Custom Packet n of the Misc Setup menu to open the entries below. Under Index #, enter the database address or Modbus index number for each data point of each group. Under Points, emter the number of consecutive data points to include in each data group.

User Programmable Boolean Flags and Statements

What is a Boolean?
3.2.1.
A Boolean point is simply a single bit register within the computer (sometimes called a flag) which has only two states, On or Off (True or False, 1 or 0). These Boolean flags or points are controlled and/or monitored by the flow computer and represent alarms, commands and status points. Each Boolean point is given an identifying number within the data base of the computer allowing the state (On or Off) to be monitored or modified by assigning that Boolean point to a physical digital I/O point or accessing it via a communication port. A maximum of 24 physical digital I/O points are available for monitoring limit switches, status signals or controlling relays or lamps.

Physical Digital I/O Points (1001 1024)

Each of the physical digital I/O points is assigned to a valid Boolean point number as detailed above. Points 1700 through 1799 are command inputs which are described later, all other point assignments indicate that the I/O point is to be set up as an output point. Output points which are dedicated as flow accumulator outputs can be set up for pulse widths ranging from 10 msec to 100 sec in 10 msec increments. All other output point assignments have associated 'time ON delay' and 'time OFF delay' timers which are adjustable from 0.0 to 1000 sec in 100 msec increments.
Programmable Boolean Points (1025 1088)

There are 64 user flags or Boolean points are available and are controlled by 64 Boolean statements or equations. These are provided to perform sequencing and control functions. Each statement or equation is evaluated every 100 msec. starting at point 1025 and ending at point 1088. The results of these Boolean statements can then assigned to physical digital I/O points. There are no restrictions as to what Boolean points can be used in a Boolean statement including the results of other Boolean statements or the status of physical I/O points.
Programmable Accumulator Points (1089 1099)

There are 11 Programmable points that are used with Variable Points 7089 through 7099 for programming pulse outputs for Digital I/O or Front Panel Counters.

Sign (+, -) of Analog or Calculated Variables (6001 8999)
The sign of analog or calculated variables can also be used in a Boolean statements by simply specifying the point number. The Boolean value of the variable is 'true ' if it is positive and 'false' if it has a negative value.
3.2.3.
Boolean Statements and Functions
Each Boolean statement consists of up to 7 variables optionally preceded by the Boolean 'NOT' function and separated by one of the Boolean functions 'AND', 'OR', 'Exclusive OR' or 'EQUAL' . The following symbols are used to represent the functions:
Function NOT AND OR EX OR EQUAL IF GOTO MOVE COMPARE Symbol / & + * = ) 'G' : %
The '=' function allows a statement to be used to change the state of the Boolean point on the left of the equal sign (usually a command point). Evaluation precedence is left to right.

To program the Boolean points proceed as follows: From the Display Mode press [Prog] [Setup] [Enter] and the following menu will be displayed: *** Misc. Setup *** Password Maint?(Y)_ Check Modules ?(Y) Config Station ? (Y) Config Meter "n" Config Prove ? (Y) Config PID ? (Y) Config D/A Out "n" Front Panel Counters Program Booleans ? Program Variables ? User Display ? "n" Scroll down to 'Set Boolean ? (Y)' and enter [Y]. Assuming that no Booleans are as yet programmed, the display shows: Boolean Point #10xx 25: _ 26: 27: Note that the cursor is on the line labeled 25: At this point enter the Boolean equation that will cause Boolean point 1025 to be ON (TRUE).
INFO - Points 1005 and 1006 reflect the current status of physical I/O Points 05 and 06 which could be inputs connected to the outside world or outputs controlling relays, etc.
For example, to turn Boolean 1025 ON whenever Boolean 1005 is OFF, OR whenever 1006 is ON, enter [/1005+1006] (note the use of the '/' to indicate the 'NOT' function). Boolean Point #10XX 25: /1005+1006 26: _ 27 Boolean 1025 could then be used in the statement following which defines Boolean 1026. For example, by including Boolean 1106 which indicates that meter #1 is being proved (see following page), Boolean 1026 will be ON whenever 'Meter 1 is being proved' AND (1005 is NOT ON OR 1006 is ON).
TIP - Leave plenty of empty statements between programmed ones. This will allow you to modify the execution order of your program if you need to later.

Remember that the Boolean statements are evaluated in order starting from 1025 proceeding to 1088 . For maximum speed always ensure that statements used in other statements are evaluated ahead of time by placing them in the correct order.
Example 1:
INFO - Use the Exclusive OR function * to compare 2 points. The result of an Exclusive OR of 2 points is true only if both points are different states. INFO - Booleans 1025, 1026 and 1027 are only used as an example here. Any unused programmable Booleans can be used for this function.
Meter Failure Alarm for Two-Meter Run Application
Object: Using signals from 'flow sensing switches' inserted into the pipeline, provide an alarm output which activates whenever the signals from the flow switches and flow meter signals differ, also provide a snapshot report by setting command point 1719. How the hardware is configured: Physical I/O points 02 and 03 are setup as inputs by assigning them to 1700 (see the Command and Status Booleans on a later page). They are connected to flow sensing switches on meter runs 1 and 2 respectively. The switches activate with flow. Physical I/O point 03 is connected to a 'meter fail alarm bell'. The output is assigned to Programmable Boolean 1027. A 'delay ON' of 5 seconds is selected to eliminate spurious alarms which would occur during startup and shutdown. A 'delay OFF' of 5 seconds is selected to ensures that the alarm bell remains on for at least 5 seconds. The Booleans are programmed as follows:
True if Meter #1 fails. True if Meter #2 fails. Request snapshot if either meter fails.
Boolean Point #10xx 25: 1105*1002 26: 1205*1003 27: 1719=1025+1026 28:

User-Programmable Functions Example 2: Automatic Run Switching for 4-Meter Run Application'
Object: To improve metering accuracy by automatically selecting the correct flow meter run to be active in a multi run application. Small turbines need to be protected from over-speeding while for best accuracy larger turbines should be valved off when the flow drops below their minimum rate. In the example shown, except when switching from one flow meter to the other, only one flow meter run is active at one time. This is one example only. The number of runs open for a given application at any flow rate obviously depends on the size of the flow meters used.
Fig. 3-1.
Figure Showing Automatic Four-Meter Flow Zone Thresholds
Switching is based on the station flow gross flow rate which is compared to preset switching thresholds entered by the user (See 'Meter Station Settings' in Chapter 2). Threshold Flags 1, 2 and 3 are set and reset according to the actual station flow rate. The first task is identify the 4 zones and assign programmable Boolean points to them. This allows us to include them in further Boolean statements.
Zone 1 = NOT Flag 1 AND NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 Zone 2 = Flag 1 AND NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 Zone 3 = Flag 1 AND Flag 2 AND NOT Flag3 Zone 4 = Flag 1 AND Flag 2 AND Flag 3

As each statement can have only 3 terms in it we must pre-process some part of the equations. The term 'NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3' appears in Zone 1 and 2 equations. Now we assign valid point numbers to our statements and rewrite them the way they will be input. First one term needs to be pre-processed to simplify:
1025 = NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 25: /1825&/1826
Next the flow Zones are defined:

Zone 1 = NOT Flag 1 AND NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 Zone 2 = Flag 1 AND NOT Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 Zone 3 = Flag 1 AND Flag 2 AND NOT Flag 3 Zone 4 = Flag 1 AND Flag 2 AND Flag 3 26: /1824&1025 27: 1824&1025 28: 1824&1825&/1826 29: 1824&1825&1826

3.2.4.
How the Digital I/O Assignments are Configured
We will use Physical I/O Points 11, 12, 13 and 14 to connect to valve limit switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 respectively. The switches activate when the appropriate valve is fully open. The points are designated as inputs by assigning them to the dummy input Boolean Point 1700 (see the Command and Status Booleans on a later page). Their data base point numbers are simply their I/O point number preceded by 10 (e.g.: I/O Point 11 = 1011). Physical I/O points 15, 16, 17 and 18 are wired so as to open the meter run valves V1, V2, V3 and V4. They will be assigned to the Boolean Flags 32 (Point 1032) through 35 (Point 1035) which represent the required state of V1 through V4 as explained below. The Boolean equations are as follows:
V1 = (NOT SW2 AND NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4) OR Zone 1
Valve #1 is opened when the flow is in Zone 1 and will remain open until at least 1 of the other 3 valves is fully open. Valves V2, V3 and V4 are programmed in a similar fashion.
V2 = (NOT SW1 AND NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4) OR Zone 2 V3 = (NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2 AND NOT SW4) OR Zone 3 V4 = (NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2 AND NOT SW3) OR Zone 4
To simplify we pre-process the common terms. The term 'NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4' is used to determine V1 and V2. The term 'NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2' is used to determine V3 and V4. Assigning the next valid point numbers to our statements and re-write them the way they will be input.
1030 = NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4 1031 = NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2 30: /1013&/1014 31: /1011&/1012
The final Equations to determined the state of V1, V2, V3 and V4 are as follows:
V1= NOT SW2 AND (NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4) OR Zone 1 32: /1012&1030+1026 V2 =NOT SW1 AND (NOT SW3 AND NOT SW4) OR Zone 2 33: /1011&1030+1027 V3= (NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2) AND NOT SW4 OR Zone 3 34: 1031&/1014+1028 V4 =(NOT SW1 AND NOT SW2) AND NOT SW3 OR Zone 4 35: 1031&/1013+1029
The computer evaluates each expression from left to right, so the order of the variables in the above statements is critical. The logic requires that the OR variable comes last.

INFO - Unless indicated as being Level Sensitive, most commands are 'edge triggered'. To activate a command simply write a '1' or 'True' to that point. It is not necessary to write a '0' or 'False' after the command is given. The status of a command may also be read or used as input in a Boolean or variable statement.
Command and Status Boolean Points (1700 through 1799)
Hardware Interaction Unreliable operation will result if a command which has been assigned to a digital I/O point directly also needs to be activated via a Modbus write. This is because the On/Off state of the digital I/O point overwrites the command point every 100 msec and most command point actions are only triggered every 500 msec.
Boolean points numbered 17XX are used as command or status points within the computer. These Boolean points can be altered by manipulating them via the Modbus ports or by assigning them to a physical digital I/O point. The various Boolean command and status flags are monitored for change of state by the appropriate software tasks running within the computer. For example, Point 1701 (Prover Ready) would be checked by the computer during a prove run to ensure that the 4-way valve did not move. Each physical I/O point configured as an input is scanned by the computer every 50 msec and the Boolean assigned to each point would be set On or Off depending on the state of the physical I/O point. Edge changes are also stored to ensure that a momentary signal would not be missed. Physical digital I/O points that will be used only in Boolean statements should be assigned to Point 1700 (dummy Boolean). Unless indicated as being Level Sensitive, most commands are 'edge triggered'. To activate a command simply write a '1' (1 = True) to that point. It is not necessary to write a '0' (0 = False) after the command. The status of a command may also be read or used as input in a Boolean or variable statement.
1700 Dummy
Used only to reserve a digital I/O point to be used as an input. Point 1700 can be assigned to as many I/O points as needed.

Meter Totalizer Roll-over Flags
The following Boolean points are flags indicating that a totalizer has rolled-over (i.e., reached maximum count and restarted from zero). These flags are used to conditionally print characters (usually **) in front of the totalizer which has rolled on the appropriate report. Examination of an Omni Custom Report Template will show how this is accomplished. The second digit of the index number defines the number of the meter run. See also points at 2801 for station versions of these flags.
Note: The In Progress flags are those which the flow computer uses when printing the reports on the connected printer. Use the Previous flags if the report is being printed by another device such as a SCADA or MMI. This is necessary because the flow computer clears the In Progress data immediately after it prints the local report.

User Programmable Variables and Statements
There are 64 user-programmable floating point variables within the flow computer numbered 7025 through 7088. The value stored in each of these variables depends on an associated equation or statement. These statements are evaluated every 500 msec and the resultant variable values can be displayed on the LCD display, printed on a report, output to a D-A output, or accessed via one of the communication ports. Typical uses for the variables and statements include providing measurement units conversions, special averaging functions, limit checking and comparisons.

Variable Statements and Mathematical Operators Allowed
Each statement can contain up to 3 variables or constants. The following symbols are used to represent the functions:

Scroll down to 'Program Variables ? (Y)' and enter [Y]. Assuming that no variables are as yet programmed, the display shows: PROG. VARIABLE #70xx 25: _ 26: 27: Note that the cursor is on the line labeled 25:. At this point enter the variable equation that will calculate the value of variable 7025.
Example 1:
To provide a variable (7025) which represents Meter Run #1 gross flow rate in barrels per day' in place of the usual barrels per hour, multiply the 'barrels/hour' variable (7101) by the constant 24. PROG. VARIABLE #70xx 25: 7101*#24 26: _ 27:
bbls/hr x 24 = bbls/day
Example 2:
To provide a variable that represents 'gallons per minute' (7026) we can convert the 'barrels per hour'variable (7101) to gallons by multiplying by 0.7 (0.7 = 42/60 which is the number of gallons in a barrel / divided by the number of minutes in an hour).
bbls/hr x 24 = bbls/day bbls/hr x0.7 = gal/min
PROG. VARIABLE #70xx 25: 7101*#24 26: 7101*#.7_ 27:
Example 3:
To provide a variable (7028) that represents meter run #1 temperature in 'degrees Celsius' we subtract 32 from the 'degrees Fahrenheit' variable (7105) and divide the result (7027) by 1.8.
bbls/hr x 24 = bbls/day bbls/hr x 0.7 = gal/min F - 32.0 (F - 32.0) / 1.8 = C

Gross barrels within the flow computer are simply flow meter counts divided by the flow meter 'K-Factor' (pulses per barrel); i.e., gross barrels are not meter factored. To provide a variable (7029) which represents Meter Run #1 gross meter factored barrels, multiply the batch gross barrel totalizer (5101) by the batch flow weighted average meter factor (5114).
bbls/hr x 24 = bbls/day bbls/hr x 0.7 = gal/min F - 32.0 (F - 32.0) / 1.8 = C Gross bbls x Meter Factor

Using Boolean Variables in Variable Statements
Boolean points used in a programmable variable statement are assigned the value 1.0 when the Boolean value is TRUE and 0.0 when the Boolean value is FALSE. By multiplying by a Boolean the user can set a variable to 0.0 when the Boolean point has a value FALSE.
Example:
Provide a variable (7025) which functions as a 'Report Number'. The report number which will appear on each 'batch end report' must increment automatically after each batch and reset to zero at the contract day start hour on January 1 of each year.
Add 1.0 at Batch End Clear batch report number on Jan 1 Contract Hour
PROG. VARIABLE #70xx 25: 7025+1835 26: 1834)7025=#0 Boolean 1835 is true one calculation cycle at the end of a batch. Boolean point 1834 is equal to 1.0 for one calculation cycle on the contract day start hour on January 1. If statement 1834 is true we reset counter 7025.

Entering Values Directly into the User Variables
In some cases it may be necessary to enter data directly into a user variable (not the expression, just the variable). For example, to preset the 'Report Number' Variable 7025 in the example above we proceed as follows. While in the Display Mode press [Prog] [Input] [Enter], the following will display:
Current value - you can change this. Expression for this variable you cannot change from this entry.
USER VARIABLE #7025 Value 1234 7025 + 1835
3.3.4.
Using the Variable Expression as a Prompt
Entering plain text into the expression associated with the variable causes the computer no problems. It ignores the text and leaves the variable unchanged. For example: USER VARIABLE 7025 Value ? .00018 Enter Lbs to SCF ?

Using Variables in Boolean Expressions
In some cases it is also necessary to trigger some type of an event based on the value of a calculated variable. Boolean variables used in the Boolean expressions and described in the previous text can have only one of two values, ON or OFF (TRUE or FALSE). How can the floating point numbers described in this chapter be used in a Boolean expression? Simply using the fact that a variable can be either positive (TRUE) or negative (FALSE). Any variable or floating point can be used in a Boolean expression.
Example:
Provide an alarm and snapshot report which will occur when the absolute difference in net flow rate between Meter Runs #1 and #2 exceeds 10 bbls/hr, but only when Meter Run #1 flow rate is greater than 1000 bbls/hr.
Result can be positive or negative. Absolute flow difference minus 10. Positive if flow rate is >1000
PROG. VARIABLE #70xx 30: 7102- 7202 31: $7030-#10 32: 7102-#1000 Variable 7031 will be positive (TRUE) if Meter Runs #1 and #2 flow rates differ by more than 10 bbls/hr. Variable 7032 will be positive (TRUE) when Meter Run #1 flow rate exceeds 1000 bbls/hr. User variables 7031 and 7032 shown above must both be positive for the alarm to be set. In addition, we will require that the condition must exist for 5 minutes to minimize spurious alarms. The alarm will be activated by Physical I/O Point #02 and we will use Boolean statements 1025 and 1026. Enter the following Boolean statements (1025 and 1026 used as example only):
True when both are positive. Snapshot report when alarm active.
BOOLEAN POINT #70xx 25: 7031&7032 26: 1719 = 1002 To complete the example we assign Digital I/O Point #02 (Point # 1002) to 1025 and select a 'delay on' of 3000 to provide a 5 minute delay on activate (3000 ticks = 3000 x 100 msec = 300 seconds). Set the delay off to 0.

User Configurable Display Screens
The user can specify up to eight display screen setups. Each display screen can be programmed to show four variables, each with a descriptive tag. Any variable within the data base can be selected for display. Steps needed to configure a display screen are:
INFO - The computer checks for the user display key presses first so you may override an existing display screen by selecting the same key press sequence.
1) Specify a sequence of up to four key presses that will be used to recall the display. Key presses are identified by the A through Z character on each key. For each variable (four maximum): 2) Specify the eight character string to be used to identify the variable. Any valid characters on the keypad can be used. 3) Specify the database index or point number. 4) Specify the display resolution of the variable (i.e., how many digits to the right of the decimal point). Should the number exceed the display capacity, the decimal will be automatically shifted right to counter the overflow. The computer will shift to scientific display mode if the integer part of the number exceeds +/- 9,999,999. To configure the user display screens proceed as follows: From the Display Mode press [Prog] [Setup] [Enter] [Enter] and the following menu will be displayed: *** Misc.

4. Modbus Protocol Implementation

4.1. Introduction
Omni Flow Computers implement a superset of the Gould Modbus Protocol on Serial Ports #1 (selectable), #2, #3 and #4 (selectable), thus allowing simultaneous communications with two totally independent Modbus systems. Maximum transmission baud rate is 38.4 kbps with an average answer response time of 70 msec plus any modem warm-up time. The Modbus Protocol specifies one master and up to 247 slaves on a common communication line. Each slave is assigned a fixed unique device address in the range of 1 to 247. The Master always initiates the transaction. Transactions are either a query/response type (only one slave is accessed at a time) or a broadcast / no response type (all slaves are accessed at the same time). A transaction comprises a single query and single response frame or a single broadcast frame.
4.2.
Modes of Transmission
Two basic modes of transmission are available: ASCII or Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The mode selected depends on the equipment being used.

ASCII Framing and Message Format
Framing in ASCII Transmission Mode is accomplished by the use of the colon (:) character indicating the beginning of a frame and a carriage return (CR) line feed (LF) to delineate end of frame. The line feed character also serves as a synchronizing character which indicates that the transmitting station is ready to receive an immediate reply.

Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Framing and Message Format
Frame synchronization can be maintained in RTU Transmission Mode only by simulating a synchronous message. The 'OMNI' monitors the elapsed time between receipt of characters. If 3.5 character times elapse without a new character or completion of the frame, then the frame is reset and the next bytes will be processed looking for a valid address. RTU MESSAGE FORMAT

Message Fields
Address Field
The address field immediately follows the beginning of the frame and consists of 2 characters (ASCII) or 8 bits (RTU). These bits indicate the user assigned address of the slave device that is to receive the message sent by the master. Each slave must be assigned a unique address and only the addressed slave will respond to a query that contains its address. When the slave sends a response, the slave address informs the master which slave is communicating. In broadcast mode, an address of zero (0) is used. All slaves interpret this as an instruction to read and take action, but do not issue a response message.

Note: See 4.5 for
descriptions and examples of these function codes. See 4.4 for a description of exception responses.
Function Code Field
The function code field tells the addressed slave what function to perform. The high order bit of the function code field is set by the slave device to indicate that other than a normal response is being transmitted to the Master device. This bit remains 0 if the message is a query or a normal response message.

4.3.3.
Data Field
The data field contains the information needed by the slave to perform the specific function or it contains data collected by the slave in response to a query. This information may be text strings, values, exception code or text buffers.
4.3.4.
Error Check Field
This field allows the master and slave devices to check a message for errors in transmission. A transmitted message may be altered slightly due to electrical noise or other interference while it is on its way from one unit to another. The error checking assures that the master and the slave do not react to messages that have been changed during transmission. The error check field uses a longitudinal redundancy check (LRC) in the ASCII Mode and a CRC-16 check in the RTU Mode. The bytes checked include the slave address and all bytes up to the error checking bytes. Checking is done with the data in the binary mode or RTU mode.
The LRC Mode

The error check is an 8-bit binary number represented and transmitted as two ASCII hexadecimal (hex) characters. The error check is produced by first stripping the Colon, CR and LF and then converting the hex ASCII characters to binary. Add the binary bytes (including slave address) discarding any carries, and then two's complement the result. At the received end the LRC is recalculated and compared to the LRC as sent. The colon, CR, LF, and any imbedded non ASCII hex characters are ignored in calculating the LRC (see page 1-7 of the Gould Modbus Reference Guide for more details).
20/24.71 w 04/98
4-3
Chapter 4 The CRC Mode
The message is considered as one continuous binary number whose most significant bit (MSB) is transmitted first. The message is pre-multiplied by x 16 (shifted left 16-bits), then divided by (x16+x15+x2+1) expressed as the binary number (11000000000000101).The integer quotient digits are ignored and the 16-bit remainder (initialized to all ones at the start to avoid the case of all zeros being an accepted message) is appended to the message (MSB first) as the two CRC check bytes. The resulting message including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial (x16 + x15 + x2 + 1) at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no errors have occurred (see pages1-4 through 1-6 of the Gould Modbus Reference Guide for more details).
4.4.
Exception Response
Programming or operation errors are those involving illegal data in a message, no response or difficulty in communicating with a slave. These errors result in an exception response from the slave, depending on the type of error. When such a message is received from the master the slave sends a response to the master echoing the slave address, function code (with high bit set), exception code and error check fields. To indicate that the response is a notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to 1.

Function Code 01 (Read Boolean Status)
This function allows the user to obtain the ON/OFF status of Booleans used to control discrete outputs from the addressed slaves only. Broadcast mode is not supported with this function code. In addition to the slave address and function field, the message requires that the information field contain the initial point number to be read (Starting point) and the number of points that will be read to obtain the Boolean data. Boolean points are numbered as from 1001; (Boolean number 1= 1001). The data is packed one bit for each Boolean flag variable. The response includes the slave address, function code, quantity of data characters, the data characters and error checking. Data will be packed with one bit for each Boolean flag (1 = ON, 0 = OFF). The low order bit of the first character contains the addressed flag, and the remainder follow. For Boolean quantities that are not even multiples of eight, the last characters will be filled in with zeros at high order end. Example: Read Booleans 1120 to 1131 from Slave Device #01.

Due to the quantity of Boolean status requested, the last data field, which is shown as 00 (hex) = 0000 0000 (binary), contains the

Function Code 03 (Read 16-Bit Register Sets)
Function Code 03 allows the master to obtain the binary contents of holding registers in the addressed slave. The protocol allows for a maximum of 125 sixteen-bit registers to be obtained at each request. Broadcast mode is not allowed for function 03. These 16-bit registers are also grouped in sets of registers and accessed as one variable. The numeric range of the point number defines the variable type and indicates how many 16-bit registers make up that variable.
REGISTER GROUPS FOR T YPES OF VARIABLES

The addressed slave responds with its address and the function code, followed by the information field. The information field contains a single byte indicating the number of data bytes returned followed by the actual data bytes. The data is returned in multiples of two bytes, with the binary content right justified. The data is sent MS Byte first. Example: Read Short Integer Message 3012 through 3013 from Slave #2.

Function Code 05 (Write Single Boolean)
This message forces a single Boolean variable either ON or OFF. Boolean variables are points numbered 1XXX or 2XXX. Writing the 16-bit value 65,280 (FF00 HEX) will set the Boolean ON, writing the value zero will turn it OFF; all other values are illegal and will not effect the Boolean. Using a slave address 00 (Broadcast Mode) will force all slaves to modify the desired Boolean. Example: Turn Single Boolean Point 1711 ON Slave #2.

Any numeric variable that has been defined on the 16-bit integer index table can have its contents changed by this message. The 16-bit integer points are numbered from 3XXX or 13XXX. When used with slave address zero (Broadcast Mode) all slaves will load the specified points with the contents specified. The following example sets one 16bit integer at address 3106 (0C22 HEX) of Slave #2 (i.e., Load address 3106 with data 0003). Example: Set Single 16-Bit Integer Slave #2.

Function Code 15 (Write Multiple Boolean )
Function code 0FHEX writes to each Boolean variable in a consecutive block of Boolean variables to a desired ON or OFF state. Each Boolean is packed in the data field, one bit for each Boolean flag (1 = ON 0 = OFF). The data field consists of increments of 2 bytes and can be up to 250 bytes (2000 points). Boolean points are packed right-to-left, 8 to a byte with unused bits set to '0'. The use of slave address 00 (Broadcast Mode)will force all slaves to modify the desired Boolean bits. The following example writes to 14 Boolean variables starting at address 1703. The data field value 05 1703 through 1710, and data field value 20 represents the status of points 1711 through 1716. These data values are transmitted as 0000 0101 and 0010 0000, indicating that Booleans points 1703, 1705, 1716 are to be forced ON and 1704 and 1706 through 1715 are to be forced OFF (the 2 most significant positions of the second byte are unused and set to 0). Example: Turn on Boolean points 1703, 1705, 1716 ON Slave #3.

Function Code 16 (Write 16-Bit Register Sets)
Function code 10HEX allows the master to change the binary contents of holding registers in the addressed slave. The protocol allows for a maximum of 125 16bit registers to be changed at each download. Using a slave address of zero (00) allows the master to change registers in all slaves simultaneously (Broadcast mode). These 16-bit registers are also grouped as sets of registers and accessed as one variable. The numeric range of the point number defines the variable type and indicates how many 16-bit registers make up that variable.
REGISTER GROUPS FOR T YPES OF VARIABLES

POINT # RANGE 3XXX or 13XXX 4XXX 5XXX or 15XXX 7XXX or 17XXX 14XXX VARIABLE TYPE Short Integer 8-Char. ASCII String Long Integer IEEE Floating Point 16-Char.

The addressed slave responds with its address and the function code, followed by the information field. The information field contains a single byte indicating the number of data bytes returned and the actual data bytes. The data is sent as multiples of two bytes, with the binary content right justified. The data is sent MS Byte first. Example: Write Short Integers 3012 through 3013 to Slave #2.
Byte Count: The Byte Count will be increments of 2, 4, 8 or 16 bytes depending on the address range of the points downloaded.

Peer-to-Peer on the Modbus Link
Serial Port #2 (Modbus Port #1) can be configured to allow peer-to-peer communications. In this mode any Omni flow computer can act as a Modbus master and communicate with any other Modbus device on the communication link (see technical Bulletin TB-980401 Peer-to-Peer Basics).
4.8.
Half Duplex Wiring Configuration Required
The physical wiring of a Modbus link is usually full duplex, although the Modbus communication protocol is a half duplex protocol (i.e., both devices never transmit at the same time). For peer-to-peer communications the physical link must be wired for half duplex operation with all transmit and receive terminals wired in parallel (see Chapter 3). This allows all devices to hear all transmissions; even their own.
4.9.
Active Master
Control of the communication link is passed from the current master to the next master in the sequence by broadcasting the ID number of the next master in sequence. When that flow computer has completed its transaction list (see Chapter 5 'Peer-To-Peer') it will in turn hand over control to the next master in the sequence.
4.10. Error Recovery

Should the next master in the sequence fail to take control of the link the current master will search for an active master. To ensure best performance and fastest recovery in the event of an error, always number Modbus masters consecutively starting from 01.

5.2.15. Solartron Density kg/m3

Solartron density is calculated using the frequency signal produced by a Solartron frequency densitometer, and applying temperature and pressure corrections as detailed below.
Uncompensated Density
D = K0 + (K1 x t) + (K2 * t ) Where: t = Densitometer oscillation time period in microseconds. K0, K1, K2 = Calibration constants supplied by Solartron.

Temperature Compensated Density

Dt = D x (1 + K18 x (Tf - 20)) + K19 x (Tf - 20) Where: Tf = Temperature in degrees C K18, K19 = Calibration constants supplied by Solartron.
Temperature & Pressure Compensated Density

Dpt = Dt x (1 + K20 x P) + (K21 x P) Where: Pf = Flowing pressure in kpa.g K20 = K20A + K20B x P K21 = K21A + K21B x P K20A, K20B, K21A & K21B are calibration constants supplied by Solartron. These are usually based on Bar pressure units. They must be converted to kpa based pressure units.
Additional Equation for Velocity of Sound Effects (Solartron Only)

For LPG Products in the range of 350 - 550 kg/m3 the following term can be applied to the temperature and pressure compensated density Dtp. Dvos = Dpt + Kr (Dpt - Kj)
3
Users wishing to implement the above term are advised to contact Solartron to obtain a reworked calibration sheet containing the coefficients ' Kr' and ' Kj'. (Typically, Kr = 1.1 and Kj = 500.) Users not wishing to implement the above term should enter 0.0 for Kr.

Status / Command Data

Reading and Writing the Physical Digital I/O
Never set a physical I/O point which has been assigned as an input as this could cause a DC voltage to appear on the input terminals of that point which may conflict with any voltage already present on those terminals.
The current status of physical Digital I/O Points 01 through 12 (Omni 3000) or 01 though 24 (Omni 6000) can be accessed by reading Modbus Indexes 1001 through 1024. All points which are to be written to exclusively via the Modbus must first have the point assigned to Modbus control by entering zero (0) for 'Digital Point Assign' (see Chapter 9). Assigning to '0' prevents the Omni application software from overwriting the Modbus write.

~ To avoid flushing the

audit trail, audit events other than complete downloads to the flow computer are usually not documented in the audit trail unless serial port passwords have been enabled. If pass-words are enabled, the target address is recorded for single point writes. Rigorous auditing of a serial port or group of serial ports can be activated by placing the appropriate hexadecimal code in 3800 (S = Serial Port): 00 00 00 AA = Audit S1 00 00 AA 00 = Audit S2 00 AA 00 00 = Audit S3 AA 00 00 00 = Audit S4 To monitor multiple ports; e.g: AA 00 AA 00 = Audit S4 & S2

Batch Stack Storage of Product Numbers to Run
The following 24 registers are treated as either one 24-position shift stack or, 4 separate 6-position shift stacks depending upon register 3837. Data in the stack(s) is shifted automatically at the beginning of a new batch. A new batch starts after a either a station batch end (1702) or meter batch end (1703 to 1706) command is received and meter pulses occur. Data on the top of a stack is the current running product for the batch in progress. This entry is discarded (popped off) and replaced with the entry below on receipt of a batch end. A batch stack may be stopped from shifting by leaving the second entry 0. Note that these entries are only part of the batch stack. Matching entries for other data types such as long integers and strings can be found at 5819 and 4852. All three data type stacks act as a single unit, they all synchronize and shift together.

INFO - These 32-bit long integer variables are accessed using Modbus function code 03 for reads, 06 for single writes and 16 for multiple writes. Note that the index number for each variable refers to one complete long integer which occupies the space of two 16-bit registers. It must be accessed as a complete unit. You cannot read or write a partial 32-bit integer. Each 32-bit long integer counts as one point in the normal Omni Modbus mode.
The second digit of the index number defines the number of the meter run. For example: 5105 is the 'Cumulative Gross Totalizer' for Meter Run # 1. The same point for Meter Run # 4 would be 5405.

Digital-to-Analog Outputs 32-Bit IEEE Floating Point Data
INFO - These 32 Bit IEEE Floating Point variables are accessed using Modbus function code 03 for all reads, 06 for single writes or 16 for single or multiple writes. Note that the index number for each variable refers to the complete floating point variable which occupies the space of two 16- bit registers. It must be accessed as a complete unit. You cannot read or write a partial variable. Each floating point variable counts as one point in the normal Omni Modbus mode.
Any analog output point which physically exists can be read via these point numbers. Data returned is expressed as a percentage of the output value. Only those points which physically exist and have been assigned to Modbus control by assigning zero (0) at 'D/A Out Assign' (see Volume 3) should be written to Outputs which are not assigned to Modbus control will be overwritten every 500 msec by the flow computer. Data written should be within the range of -5.00 to 11000.

Database points 7025 through 7088 have been assigned as user variables (see Volume 3). The value contained in the variable depends on the associated program statement which is evaluated every 500 msec. You may read these variables at any time. You may also write to these variables but anything you write may be overwritten by the flow computer depending on the evaluation of the statement. Leave the statement blank or simply put a comment or prompt into it to avoid having the flow computer overwrite it.

CAUTION!
Flow computer configuration data is especially critical to the correct operation of the flow computer. Any modifications to this data while operating the flow computer could cause unpredictable results which could cause measurement or control errors. Users are encouraged to consult with Omni Flow Computers, Inc. before manipulating configuration data directly via a serial port or programmable variable statements. INFO - These 32-bit long integer variables are accessed using Modbus function code 03 for reads, 06 for single writes and 16 for multiple writes. Note that the index number for each variable refers to one complete long integer which occupies the space of two 16-bit registers. It must be accessed as a complete unit. You cannot read or write a partial 32-bit integer. Each 32-bit long integer counts as one point in the normal Omni Modbus mode. Modicon Compatible Mode - For the purpose of point count only, each 32-bit integer counts as two registers. The starting address of the 32-bit integer still applies.

Omni 6000 / Omni 3000 Flow Computers
Technical Bulletin
Scope
OmniCom Software is compatible with all firmware revisions of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers. It is installed in a personal computer from which you can configure your flow computer.
Abstract
OmniCom is a simple-to-use yet sophisticated PC-based configuration program that can be used to setup, copy or modify, and save to disk entire configurations for Omni flow computers. You can also select custom report options and modify report templates and Omni display screens that are resident within the program, or create new ones. These can then be uploaded to the flow computer. Default reports provide standard data and formats for most requirements. Major application programming has already been developed by Omni and is resident in EPROM. This is of particular importance in custody transfer measurement contracts. They require that the relevant API, AGA, GPA or ISO standards are fully implemented and not exposed to tampering. The OmniCom program allows you to develop your own system requirements by a simple process of menu selection and table completion. This replicates the data entry tables which can be accessed through the front panel keypad of your Omni Flow Computer.
Configuring the Flow Computer

For Further Help - If you require further help, call Omnis technical support at: +1-281-240-6161
Configuring the flow computer involves specifying what transducers are going to be used, their calibrated ranges and the physical I/O points being assigned. Other data needed by the flow computer relates to the flowing product to be measured, the type of calculations to be used, and communication and control features. You will usually configure the flow computer in the Off-line Mode and then upload your data. You do not have to be connected to the flow computer at this time. You will usually go to the Online Menu only when you need to communicate directly with the flow computer. Any changes made are immediately reflected in the flow computer.
TB-960701 ALL REVS
TB-960701
Report Configurator
One of OmniCom's indispensable features is the ability to reformat default reports by using OmniCom's report templates. This is the ONLY feature not available through the front panel keypad. Any variable defined in the Modbus database, or programmed as a variable can be inserted into a report with accompanying text. Reports can be created in languages other than English to suit local needs.
Operations Utilities and Help

Accessing Help in OmniCom - At the 'Using Help' feature, press [Enter] and [F1] for editing keystrokes.
Operational tools such as remotely proving meters, and reading hardware diagnostics are provided. Diagrams are also provided for communications cable hook-up. Application Programs and PC Setup for OmniCom can also be selected. As you work through the entries, you will find entry-sensitive Help that explains the meaning of the particular entry. Whether at the flow computer keypad or at a PC there is always assistance.
Dial-up Access
Omni Flow Computers encourages the installation of a telephone dial-up modem as a ready means of providing installation and maintenance support for customer and vendor alike. Serial communication passwords provide enhanced security. Three levels of password pre-exist within Omni flow computers to provide privileged or restricted access to critical configuration and calibration data. The OmniCom program allows you to upload/download data to and from the flow computer in an on-line mode at a range of baud rates by direct-wire or by telephone dial-up modem access. This is particularly useful when the flow computer is in use. Occasionally, you will want to modify configuration or calibration data, or just monitor activity. You can do all this without interfering with pipeline or process operations or with communication links to host SCADA or DCS systems.
Passwords Using OmniCom

Except when changing transducer high/low alarm limits, a password is usually asked for when changing the configuration data within the computer. The flow computer has independent password protection of the following:
INFO - For Firmware Revisions 70+, Physical Serial Port #1 is selectable as a Modbus RTU, Modbus RTU (modem), or printer port. This serial port on previous revisions was only a printer port.
1) 2) 3) 4) 5)
Local Keypad access Modbus Port #1 (Physical serial Port #1) Modbus Port #2 (Physical serial Port #2) Modbus Port #3 (Physical serial Port #3) Modbus Port #4 (Physical serial Port #4)
TB-960701 ALL REVS
Technical Bulletin
Local Keypad Access

Three password levels are provided: a) Privileged Level - Allows complete access to all entries within the flow computer including keypad passwords (b) and (c) below. The initial privileged password for each Modbus port is selected via this password level. b) Level 1 - This level allows technician access to most entries within the flow computer with the exception of I/O Points assignments, programmable variables and Boolean statements and passwords other than Keypad level 1. c) Level 1A - Allows access to the following entries: Meter factors and K Factors Densitometer correction factors (pycnometer factor) d) Level 2 - Allows access to the operator type entries. These entries include: Transducer manual overrides Product gravity overrides Prover operations Batching operations
Changing Passwords at the Keypad

1) At the keypad press [Prog] [Setup] [Enter] 2) With the cursor blinking on 'Misc Configuration' press [Enter] 3) With the cursor blinking on 'Password Main?' press [Alpha Shift] [Y] [Enter] 4) Enter the 'Privileged Level' Password (up to 6 characters) press [Enter] 5) The 'Level 1',Level 1A and 'Level 2' passwords can now be viewed and changed if required.
INFO - Level B and Level C passwords for each Modbus port cannot be viewed or changed from the keypad.
6) Scroll down to access each of the Modbus serial port 'Level A' passwords. These are labeled 'Ser1Passwd', Ser2 Passwd', 'Ser3 Passwd' and Ser4 Passwd corresponding to the physical port numbering for Modbus Ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
TB-960701 ALL REVS
TB-960701
Setting Up the Initial 'Level B' and 'Level C' Passwords for each Modbus Port
7) Enter an initial 'Level A' Password for the appropriate physical serial port at the keypad of the Omni Flow Computer as described above. 8) Connect a PC running OmniCom Software to the selected serial port of the Omni Flow Computer. Open a file and 'Receive Omni Configuration Data'. 9) A red pop-up screen will appear which notes that a password is required to proceed. If any other screen appears at this point, check wiring and communication settings, Modbus ID, baud rate, etc. 10) Do not enter the 'Level A' password at this point. Keep pressed [Alt] as you press [E] to edit the passwords. A second red pop-up screen will appear asking for the 'current valid password'. A good practice would be to use uppercase letters (activate [CapsLock] on the keyboard) because when setting passwords from the flow computers keypad, they are always entered in uppercase. 11) Enter the 'Level A' password that was selected for this serial port. 12) You are asked if you would like to change the 'Level A', 'Level B' and 'Level C' passwords. Select to change 'Level B' at this point. You will be asked to enter a password. As you enter the password, asterisks will show in place of the characters you typed. You will be asked to re-enter the password to ensure that what you typed was correct. 13) To setup a Level C password, repeat Steps 2 and 6 substituting Level C for Level B at Step 6.
Maintaining the Modbus Port Password Using OmniCom

After the initial passwords have been setup for each of the Modbus serial ports as shown above, they may be changed at any time while logged on with OmniCom. 1) While keeping pressed the [Alt] key, press [E] at any time and the popup screen appears asking for a password. This screen can be forced to appear by keeping pressed [Alt] as you press [P] while viewing any editing screen; i.e., any screen with data fields that can be edited. 2) When asked, enter your current password. Password Level B and Level C users are allowed to change only their own password levels. Level A password users can change levels A, B and C.
TB-960701 ALL REVS
Technical Bulletin
Disabling Modbus Port Passwords

INFO - Level B and Level C passwords for each Modbus (serial) port cannot be viewed or changed from the keypad; i.e., you must use OmniCom to view, change or delete these password levels.
Level B and Level C passwords should be disabled via OmniCom (see sidebar) before disabling the privileged Level A password at the keypad. 1) To disable each password proceed as though you are going to change or set-up the password. 2) Press the [Delete] key six (6) times where the initial password was entered followed by the [Enter] key (no asterisks will show). 3) When asked to re-enter the password, re-enter six [Delete] key presses followed by the [Enter] key. 4) Repeat this procedure for both Level B and Level C passwords. 5) From the Omni flow computer keypad, delete the 'Level A' password for the appropriate Modbus serial port (see Volume 3). To do this, move the cursor to the serial Level A password to disable and press the [Clear] key and then the [Enter] key.
Getting Started

CAUTION!
Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs such as SideKick and Keyboard Macro processors can affect the operation of high speed communication programs such as OmniCom. They do this by 'stealing' processor cycles or turning off the hardware interrupt system of the personal computer. These programs may have to be disabled when you are in the 'On-line' Mode, if you encounter difficulties communicating with the Omni flow computer.
Installation Requirements
To properly run OmniCom, and have sufficient memory for report templates and copies of the database, you will require the following: IBM PC (or compatible) MS DOS, V3.3 or later (excepting 4.01) 640Kb RAM 20Mb Free Hard Disk Space with a minimum of one floppy disk drive, 3" 1.44 Mb Monochrome or color monitor with EGA or VGA graphics capability One RS-232 serial port One LPT port (optional) One RS-232 modem (optional at various supported baud rates)
Installing OmniCom Revisions Previous to 70 Before you install earlier revisions of OmniCom software, you must save your existing phone directory entries and setup. For instructions and any other assistance you may need, please contact our technical support staff at the following phone number: +1-281-240-6161
Installation Procedure
OmniCom is delivered on 1.44 Mb, 3" diskettes in an archived format. To install, do the following: 1) Insert the diskette into your PC's corresponding floppy disk drive. 2) Type the respective drive letter followed by a colon (e.g.: A: or B). 3) Type Install and press [Enter]. The OmniCom installation program will guide you through the rest of the installation.

TB-960701
Opening a File
First open an existing Omni-supplied file. Each application and derived files come with their own set of templates. You can then 'SAVE AS' to create a new file to commence your configuration. Each file that you create will occupy approximately 60 Kbytes of disk space. This includes 36 Kbytes for the configuration file and 6 Kbytes for each of the four custom report templates. All menu selections are supported by entry-sensitive Help. No matter where you are, by pressing [F1] you can obtain an explanation of the requirements for your entry selection.
View
Files can be viewed separately or in parallel with a file that is currently being edited. This allows you to compare various numeric entries in similar files. This can be helpful if you are maintaining historical files that track changes you have made. You may not be able to use the View feature with certain variations of flow computer configuration files because newer firmware include additional entry fields not available in earlier revisions.
Off-line
You will usually begin in the Off-line Mode to configure your flow computer. It naturally leads in to the 'Omni Configuration' Menu selections. Only when you complete this section will you be able to activate the various 'Setup' options and proceed to establish your calibration ranges and other related data. Before you begin the configuration of I/O, be sure you know what number and type of physical I/O has been installed in the flow computer. A mismatch between your off-line configuration and physical hardware will not make a data upload to the flow computer meaningful in key areas of your configuration data.
On-line
When you have completed building your configuration database, you are then ready to upload data to your Omni flow computer. The OmniCom program uses the Modbus RTU binary protocol which mandates the use of 8 data bits. Be sure that the serial I/O parameters in both devices have been properly setup before attempting to communicate. Baud rate and parity settings are less critical but must also be the same. With a direct-connect to a PC, OmniCom will perform an auto baud rate search and display an error if baud rates are incompatible (see 2.5.16. Serial Input/Output Settings in Volume 3). Baud rates from 1.2 kbps to 38.4 kbps are supported. When using a modem, the auto baud rate search is not performed. In this case, the baud rate is that at which the modem is setup. Some personal computers may not have the processing power to support the higher baud rates. Note also that modems are capable of using a higher baud rate at the RS-232 connector than they are communicating on the telephone line. If the modems connect but the flow computer does not respond, try adjusting the flow computers baud rate.

Technical Bulletin
Reports
The 'Report' Menu allows you to retrieve snapshot and historical reports from the flow computer or from your hard disk. These are pre-formatted default reports that are included in the Omni application software. You can also customize your own reports from standard templates. By using the on-screen report editor, you can add or delete text and data character strings which identify the variable in the computer's Modbus database. [F1] for help describes the control functions to enable you to format the report easily. Bring up a report template and move the cursor onto the 'XXXX.XX' fields. Press [Enter] and a pop-up menu defines the variable being used. Type or edit text anywhere, move the cursor and keeping pressed [Shift] as you press [$] enables you to enter or delete any database address from the report.
Utilities
The Utilities Menu has several useful tools for setting up and maintaining OmniCom. The utilities available are: u u u u I/O Point Assignment List OmniCom Setup OmniCom Application Archive Maintenance u Prover/Batch End Commands u Diagnostics u Omni Panel
I/O Point Assignment List

When the configuration of your flow computer is complete, you should review your assignment of physical I/O by accessing the display under 'I/O Point Assignment List'. An I/O mismatch can result in erroneous calibration ranges and consequential errors in measurement and control of your metering system! This utility shows a summary list that indicates what physical I/O points are assigned to which variables. Point numbers with asterisks '*' next to them are used for more than one variable. Check the list to ensure you have not assigned a physical I/O point to more than one transducer type; e.g.: An I/O point cannot be assigned to a temperature and pressure transmitter at the same time. The flow computer will not allow this to happen in the On-line mode, but OmniCom does not check for this in the Off-line mode.
OmniCom Setup
This utility allows you to: u Select the type of video monitor. u Turn the sound effects on/off. u Setup the modem command strings.

Archive Start/Stop Command
WARNING!
Warning: The flow computer will not accept changes made to the archive setup at the time of a 'Transmit Omni Configuration' upload unless the archiving feature has been turned off.
When this menu is entered, OmniCom tries to establish communications with the flow computer using the comm parameter settings currently selected in the 'Start Comm' submenu of the 'Online' menu. It does this to establish the status of the 'Archive' flag and 'Archive Config Enable' flag. Check comm settings if all items on the menu are inactive; i.e., OmniCom is unable to communicate with the target computer. Any changes made to the flow computers configuration which involves the format of the data record, number of records in an archive file, or the total number of archive files within the flow computer, will cause the memory used to store the archive data to be reinitialized. This would cause all data stored in archive to be lost. Therefore, no changes to the target flow computers archive configuration will be allowed unless automatic data archiving has been disabled and the 'Archive Config Enable' flag is on.

Omni 6000 / Omni 3000 Flow Computers Prover Commands
Technical Bulletin
Proving features displayed here can only be viewed when communicating directly with an Omni Flow Computer. You may monitor or control the operation of a meter prover which is controlled by a remote Omni flow computer. You must have already established communications with the flow computer before making this selection. If you have not established communications with a flow computer you will receive one of the following error messages:
Byte count does not match expected - OmniCom is confused and thinks your modem is connected to a flow computer. Try dialing out first. No response from Omni - You are either not connected to anything or the slave ID number of the flow computer you are trying to talk to does not match OmniCom's setting.
Use the 'Shift' key with the appropriate 'Function' key to select the flowmeter you wish to remote prove. The 'Status Window' shows the event history and the 'Omni Display' echoes data shown locally at the Omni flow computer.
Diagnostics
You must be connected and online with a flow computer for this selection to work. The screen displays diagnostic information about the flow computer such as number and type of I/O modules fitted, status of digital I/O, current output percent of analog outputs and raw input signals coming into the flow computer.
Omni Front Panel Emulator

When this feature is selected, an illustration of the Omni front panel is displayed by which all the functions of an Omni Flow computer are emulated. Use the mouse to click on simulated buttons to access real time displays and make entries. OmniCom is actually displaying the same LCD display buffer information and the mouse click are actually sending data into the same key stroke buffer as the front panel keypad. Performance is much better at 9600 baud or higher. You must have setup the baud rate and other communication settings in the 'Start Comm' menu before you can use Omni Panel.
Help
You can further customize your Help screens by making use of an on-screen editor. Via this feature you can modify Help text by additions or deletions to suit your own needs and operations. Windows can be resized and repositioned to suit your own personal preference. This can be particularly useful as an additional memory aid, if the Operations Manual is not available to you, or if additional information is required for other users of this program.

Abstract
The Omni 6000 flow computer provides serial communications between the flow computer and an Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), usually via a KE or KF Communication Module connected to the Data Highway. Data is transmitted serially at a maximum rate of 38.4 kbps using 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity bit. Average speed of response to a message request is approximately 75 msec.
Protocol and Error Checking

Both the DFI full duplex protocol and the half duplex protocol are supported. CRC or BCC error checking can be utilized when using either full duplex or half duplex.
PLC Supported
The Omni computer supports the following Allen-Bradley PLC types and messages. Note that bit level operations are not supported. PLC-2 PLC-3 PLC-5 SLC-502/3 Unprotected Block Reads and Writes Word Range Reads and Writes Typed Reads and Writes Unprotected Typed Reads and Writes
Flow Computer Database

Serial Ports #1, #2, #3 and #4 in .71+ firmware revisions support communications using superset of Modbus Protocol. This is the native communications language of the flow computer. Several thousand variables are available within the Database. The primary numbering system used to identify these variables is their 'index number'. The actual digits of the index number indicate the type of variable and in many cases application area within the computer.

How the Allen-Bradley Accesses the Omni Flow Computer Database

PLC-2
This family is usually limited as to the type of data and address range. Data is always transferred as block reads and writes. Five translation tables are provided where the user can specify what data within the database will be concatenated into read or write groups. The starting address of each data block is selectable.
Note: The PLC2 does not understand 32-bit integer or 32-bit IEEE floating points but can pass these variable types to devices that do understand them.
t Translation Tables #1 through #3 are used to set up block reads which can contain status points packed 16 to a word, 16-bit or 32-bit integers and IEEE floating points. t Translation Table #4 is used for block writes of status and command bits only. Data is packed 16 to a word. t Translation Table #5 provides for block writes to any selected data.
PLC-3
This family can use the methods described above as well as 'word range reads and writes' of any variable within the database (see PLC-5 list for starting addresses).
PLC-5
This family utilizes 'typed reads and writes' of the complete Database. To accommodate the PLC-5 'file system method of addressing, the Modbus index numbers serve as the basis of the internal file system of the computers as it appears to a PLC-5 device. Table below shows typical examples:

Abstract
Definitions & Terminology Archive Address - A unique Modbus address used to read a data record from an archive file. These addresses are in the 700 series; i.e., 701, 702, 703, etc. Archive Record - A structure containing a fixed set of data variables which cannot exceed 250 bytes in length. Data within the record can be of any valid data type in any order. Archive Trigger Boolean The actual event which causes the flow computer to capture and store a record within the archive file. The trigger can be any Boolean variable within the database including the result of a Boolean statement. Block Read - Modbus protocol block read requires that Function Code 03 (read multiple registers) be used to retrieve data. Circular Archive File - A file of n records arranged as a circular buffer which always contains the most recent n records; i.e., the oldest data record is overwritten by each new record as it is added. Current Record Pointer A 16-bit read-only integer register containing a number between 0 and n, representing the position of the most recently added record within the archive file. The pointer is adjusted after each complete record is added. A value of 0 indicates that no data records have been added since the last initialization of the archive memory.
The flow computer provides three distinct methods of storing data. These are as follows: 1) Raw Data Archive Data records are defined and stored in raw binary format in circular files of 'n' records per file. Ten user configurable files are provided as well as an alarm file and audit trail file. This data can be retrieved using standard Modbus Function Codes 3 and 6. ASCII data which is captured and saved whenever a Snapshot, Daily, Batch End or Prove report is printed. Data is stored chronologically. To retrieve this data you must use OmniCom, OmniView or a custom Modbus driver which understands the proprietary Omni Modbus Function Codes 64 and 65. These are exact copies of data that was sent to the local printer in ASCII format. The flow computer stores the last eight copies of each of the following reports: Daily, Batch End and Prove.
2) Text Archive Data
3) Historical Reports
Method 3 is limited to storing the last eight reports and is therefore not considered archive data. Therefore this chapter will be limited to describing how Methods 1 and 2 are used to store archive data within the flow computer.
Raw Data Archiving

A maximum of ten archive files can be user configured. Two additional archive files, the alarm archive and audit trail archive are also included but are fixed in format and cannot be user configured. Each user configurable archive file consists of 'n' archive records, where 'n' is defined by the user. A record consists of a time and date stamp followed by a number of user defined variables of any valid data type as described by its archive record definition table. The amount of memory an archive consumes is calculated by multiplying the record size in bytes times the number of records in the archive. Associated with each archive file is an archive trigger Boolean. Data is captured and stored in each of the archive files whenever the appropriate trigger occurs; e.g., at the end of a batch or beginning of the day, etc. Three additional registers per archive file serve to indicate (a) maximum number of records, (b) current record pointer and (c) requested record to read pointer.

Retrieving Data
Definitions & Terminology
(Continued)
Maximum Records Register - A 16-bit readonly integer adjacent to the Current Record Pointer which contains the number n, indicating the maximum number of records within the archive file. Requested Record Pointer - A 16-bit read/write integer used to select a specific record within an archive file. Time and Date Stamp - Six bytes of binary data representing the date and time that the archive record was stored. The byte order is as follows: u Byte 1 = Month (1-12) or Day (1-31) u Byte 2 = Day (1-31) or Month (1-12) u Byte 3 = Year (0-99) u Byte 4 = Hour of Day (023) u Byte 5 = Minute (0-59) u Byte 6 = Seconds (0-59) u European Format Selected (dd/mm/yy) Valid Data Types u 32-bit IEEE floating point data u 32-bit long integer data u 16-bit integer data u 8-byte ASCII string data; byte packed Boolean status data
Data records are retrieved one record at a time by writing the number of the record required, to the requested record pointer register. The data can then be accessed immediately by a block read of the archive address. Data must be read as one complete block. Also, because the flow computer always responds with a complete record, the 'number of registers' field of the Modbus poll request is ignored by the flow computer. The following record retrieval method is simple and efficient; it works well assuming that there is only one host device retrieving data. The method assumes that the number of the last record retrieved is left in the requested record pointer within the flow computer. This will not be the case when more than one host device will be retrieving data; in this case each host device must know the number of the last record it retrieved. 1) Read the maximum records register, current record pointer and requested record pointer. These registers are adjacent to each other in the flow computers database. 2) A current record pointer value of 0 indicates that the archive file has been initialized (i.e. cleared to binary zeroes/ASCII Nulls) and no trigger event has occurred since initialization). 3) Compare the contents (just read) of the current record pointer with the requested record pointer. 4) If the records numbers are equal no additional records have been added since the last read and no further action is needed. 5) If the record numbers are not equal, increment the value of requested record pointer. 6) If the resultant value is greater than the value obtained from the maximum record pointer, roll-over has occurred and record number one should be retrieved by writing '1' to the requested record pointer register. Otherwise write the incremented value to the requested record pointer register. 7) After writing to the requested record pointer register in the flow computer, the selected archive record can be read immediately using Modbus function '3' (read multiple registers). Archive file addresses are in the 700 area of the flow computers database (i.e., archive file 1 = 701, archive file 2 = 702 etc.). 8) Repeat steps 3 through 7 until all records are read. During the normal course of events, the host attempts to read the next record in sequence based on the number of the last record it retrieved. An archive record containing binary 0s indicates that the archive has been initialized since the last read and that the host should restart by reading record number one (assuming that the current record pointer is not 0)

Setting the 'Reconfig Archive' Flag

Any configuration changes that are made to any of the archive files such as changes to the size or number of records will force the flow computer to reallocate and clear to zero the RAM memory used to store archive data. To avoid accidental data loss, the flow computer requires that two entries are manipulated correctly before changes to the archive configuration can be made. The 'Reconfig Archive' flag must be set to 'Y and the Archive Run' flag must be set to 'N'.
Possible Loss of Data when Starting and Stopping the Archive

To conserve archive storage, the user may on some occasions wish to set the 'Archive Run' flag to 'N' . This can be done at any time without loss of existing data as long as the 'Reconfig Archive' flag is not set to 'Y'. If the 'Reconfig Archive' flag is accidentally set to 'Y' no data will be lost until the 'Archive Run' flag is set to 'Y' (this allows the user to retrieve data before it is lost).
Defining the Archive Records

After setting the 'Reconfig Archive' flag to 'Y' as described above, press the [Prog] key once to return to the 'Misc Setup' menu. It will be possible to define or change any archive file configuration by scrolling down the display until the following screen is displayed:
&#

A maximum of 16 groups of variables may be included in an archive record. Data can be of any valid type. The record is limited to a total of 250 data bytes remembering that the time and date stamp included in each record occupies 6 bytes. Scrolling down the screen displays the following:
&) -. /01 ) () 3 ) 0

Circular Archive File - A file of n records arranged as a circular buffer which always contains the most recent n records; i.e., the oldest data record is overwritten by each new record as it is added.
Enter the maximum number of archive records to be contained within this circular archive file. At the 'Trig Boolean' entry, enter the database address of the Boolean trigger which will cause the flow computer to store the archive data record. For example, entering 1831 (the 'hour start flag) would cause the flow computer to store data at hourly intervals. Once you have entered all the necessary data for all of the archive records return to the following screen which is in the 'Password Maintenance' menu.

&#
* ! &#
* ) ! "
INFO - Redefining the archive Boolean trigger does not cause the archive RAM to be cleared.
Set 'Reconfig Archive' to 'N' and 'Archive Run' to 'Y'. At this point the flow computer will reinitialize archive RAM memory and attempt to allocate memory as configured.
How The Available Memory Is Allocated

Approximately 250,000 bytes of memory are available for the storage of archived data, this includes 'Raw Data' and 'ASCII Text Data'. Archive memory is allocated dynamically, i.e. the memory required to satisfy the 'Raw Data Archive' is allocated first, one archive file at a time. The memory remaining after the Raw Data Archive files are setup is what is used by the Text Archive described later.

Checking The Archive File Memory Status Screens

The 'Archive File Memory Status' screens display automatically whenever the user attempts to re-start data archiving for the first time after reconfiguring the archive structure. These screens can also be accessed at any time by pressing 'Setup' 'Status' 'Display' while in the display mode. A correctly configured archive structure is indicated by the following screen.

Archive memory errors are caused when RAM memory is insufficient for the number and size of archive files configured. In this case the 'Start Archive' command is ignored and the flow computer allocates memory to as many archive files as possible. The number on the 'Files Allocated' line of the display shows how many files were allocated before the memory ran out. Scroll down the screen to see the actual number of bytes allocated to each archive file. All remaining memory not allocated to the 'Raw Data Archive Files' is allocated to the 'Text Archive' buffer. The display below is typical.

Summary 0f Raw Data Archiving Features

t Ten independent archive files are available for user configuration. t Two additional archive files, the 'alarm event log' and 'audit trail log' are provided. t Archive files consist of multiple records in a circular array. t Mixed types of variable data can be stored in records of 250 bytes maximum. t Except for the 'alarm log' and 'audit trail log', content and maximum number of records in an archive file are configurable. t Data is read in block form one record at a time. t Each archive has a unique address (701, 702, 703, etc.) t Each archive has a set of integer registers used to indicate most current record pointer, maximum number of records, and required record pointer. t Data is captured and stored in an archive file whenever the appropriate trigger event occurs. t Multiple archive files can be controlled by the same trigger event. t Empty archive records contain binary 0s / ASCII Null characters. t To avoid errors, host devices reading archive data should dynamically determine the record pointer roll over value based on the number of record integers read each time from the flow computer. t Any configuration changes made to the archive setup such as redefinition of any record or change in the number of records within any archive will cause all data stored in the entire archive system to be reset. To prevent accidental erasure of all archived data the user must first halt all archiving by setting the Archive Run/Halt Flag' to false (0), and setting the 'Config Archive Flag' to true (1).

Using The Custom Reports to Access the Text Archive Feature

The actual data which will be archived in the 'Text Archive' buffer is identified within the body of a 'User Custom Report Template'. This is done by enclosing the data in question between braces '{}' and preceding the opening brace '{' character with either Boolean 1000 (archive the data identified between the braces) or Boolean 2000 (print and archive the data identified between the braces). In the example 'Batch End' report shown below, the first half of the report will be printed and stored in the 'Text Archive' while the second half of the report will not print but will be stored in the 'Text Archive'.
The user has embedded a Boolean point address 2000 to indicate that the following data enclosed by the {} characters is to be printed and archived. When embedding the point, set the width=1 and number of decimal places=0.

Templates can only be accessed if they exist; i.e., if you are currently working on 'FILENAME.OMI' opening the custom templates will just create an empty file. You must first create a set of templates by copying the appropriate sample templates as follows: 1) At the OmniCom File menu select 'Shell to DOS'. 2) Type the following to create a set of custom templates for a common product system using a full sized pipe prover (assumes Rev. 20.?? application): COPY OMNI20\REV20D.TP?

Scope
All firmware revisions of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers have the feature of communicating with Honeywell ST3000 Smart Transmitters. This feature uses Honeywells Digitally Enhanced (DE) Protocol and requires that an H Combo I/O Module be installed in your flow computer.
Abstract
Using 'H' Combo I/O Modules, the Omni Flow Computer can communicate with Honeywell Smart Temperature and Pressure Transmitters using Honeywells DE Protocol. Up to 4 transmitters can be connected to each 'H' Type Combo Module, with loop power being provided by the combo module.
TB-960704 ALL REVS
Technical Bulletin
Digitally Enhanced (DE) Protocol Overview

Digital data is transmitted serially between the flow computer and Honeywell Smart Transmitters by modulating the current in the two wire loop connecting the devices. Power for the transmitter is also taken from this current loop. Data is transmitted at 218.47 bits per second with a digital '0' = 20 mA and a digital '1 = 4 mA. In normal operation, the Honeywell transmitter operates in the '6-byte Broadcast Mode'. In this mode, the transmitter transmits the following data to the flow computer every 366 msec: Byte #1 Status Flags Byte #2-#4 Process Variables % Span Value (3-byte floating point) Byte #5 Database ID (indicates where in the transmitters database Byte #6 below belongs) Byte #6 Database Data Value
Transmitter Database
By using the data contained in Bytes #5 and #6, the flow computer builds and maintains an exact copy of the smart transmitters configuration database. A transmitter database varies in size from about 90 bytes for a pressure transmitter to 120 bytes for a temperature transmitter. It takes between 30 and 45 seconds to completely build a copy of the transmitter database within the flow computer. The transmitter database is continuously compared against the flow computer configuration settings for that transmitter. The flow computer automatically corrects any differences between the databases by writing the correct configuration data to the transmitter.

Communicating with Honeywell ST3000 Smart Transmitters
Using the Honeywell Handheld Communicator

The flow computer is responsible for configuring the following entries within the transmitter: 1) 2) 3) 4) Lower Range Value (LRV) or Zero Transmitter Span or Upper Range Limit (URL) Damping Factor Tag Name
Any changes made to 1, 2 and 3 using the handheld communicator will be overwritten by the flow computer. In the digital mode it is not necessary to calibrate the transmitter output using the handheld communicator. The digital signal can be calibrated using the normal Omni analog input method described in Chapter 8 of Volume 1.
Combo Module LED Status Indicators

Each I/O channel of the 'H' Combo module has a set of two LED indicators, one green and one red. The green LED shows all communication activity taking place on the channel (flow computer, transmitter and handheld communicator if connected). The Red LED lights only when the flow computer is transmitting data to the transmitter. Normal digital operation is indicated by a regular pulsation of the green LED (about 3 per second). The red LED will be seen to blink whenever a configuration change is made in the flow computer which affects that particular transmitter.

Switching Between Analog and Digital Mode.

Auto Mode
Connecting an analog mode Honeywell smart transmitter to the computer will cause the flow computer to automatically switch the transmitter to the digital DE mode, sending out a communication request to the Honeywell transmitter. A switch over to the digital mode by the transmitter will cause the green LED on the H combo module to pulse steadily indicating that communications have been established.
Manual Operation
For manual operation, do the following: 1. Disable communications between the Honeywell transmitter and the flow computer by deleting all I/O point assignments within the flow computer to that I/O point. 2. Using the Honeywell SFC, SCT or any Honeywell handheld communicator, press [Shift] [A/D] and wait till the handheld displays 'Change to Analog?' 3. Answer (Yes) by pressing [Enter]. SFC Working will be displayed. The 'H' Combo modules green LED on that channel will stop pulsing. 4. Re-enter the I/O point to cause the Omni to send the communication request command to the Honeywell and after three command sends the green LED on the Honeywell module will pulse at a steady 3Hz rate.

Scope
All Omni 6000/3000 Flow Computers have calibration stability requirements.
Abstract
Because of the temperature sensitivity and bit resolutions of the A/D and D/A converters, and the high accuracy requirements, it is important that the following procedures are followed when calibrating flow computer I/O circuits.
Instructions
(1) Adjust the power supply to give 5.05-5.10 volts at backplane test points. (2) All final calibrations must be performed using the matching set of combo modules and power supply module (i.e. changing the power supply or adjusting the voltage during the final calibration requires that a sample calibration made up to that point be checked. If there is a noticeable change, all calibrated points should be rechecked). (3) Before calibrating, eliminate temperature gradient errors by closing the box and allowing at least 20 minutes for temperature stabilization to occur. Ensure that unit is not in a high air draft area (i.e. in the path of a fan or AC duct) Make adjustments such as jumper repositioning quickly. Wherever possible keep the unit closed to retain internal heat. Board replacements will require that sufficient time be allowed to achieve temperature stability. (4) Observe temperature stability requirements of any equipment used in the calibration process (i.e., current and voltage generators, digital voltmeters etc.)

Scope
All firmware Versions 20/24 and 21/25, Revisions.70+ of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers have secondary net totalizers for when more than one reference temperature is required.
Abstract
Some times it is necessary to provide net totalizers at more than one reference temperature. Following are the Modbus data points that are used to provide secondary net totalizers in the Omni. Secondary totalizers are calculated real time just like the normal totalizers. The secondary totalizers are activated by setting up floating point data point 7699 with the secondary reference temperature required. This data point is initialized to 0 at a cold start up which effectively disables the extra totalizers and their appearance on the Omni default reports (obviously, 0 cannot be used as a second reference temperature). You may set up 7699 with a simple variable statement. For example: 7699=#68 will provide a second set of net totalizers corrected to 68 degrees. You may also initialize point 7699 via a one time Modbus write. If you choose to use the statement method you may remove the statement immediately after you enter it, but you should probably leave it to serve as a document trail. Note that the Omni initializes point 7699 to 0.0 on a cold boot. A cold boot occurs after a Clear All Ram command is executed.

Using Boolean Statements to Provide Custom Alarms in the Flow Computer

Scope
User Manual Reference This technical bulletin complements the information contained in the User Manual, and is applicable to all firmware revisions Version .70+. This bulletin was previously published with a different page layout.
All firmware revisions Version .70+ of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers have the feature of customizing alarms with Boolean statements.
Abstract
The flow computer automatically records and logs many important alarm events and status changes. These events include transducer Low Alarm and High Alarm states and failure of any transducer connected to the flow computer which is measurement related. There are instances however where the flow computer user would like to monitor other internal or external status events that may have nothing to do with the measurement functions. These alarms may be the result of a digital I/O point changing state, or the result of a Boolean logic statement or a variable statement comparison. Because of this requirement, the last 16 Boolean statements of the flow computer serve the dual function of evaluating normal logic expressions, and also providing user configurable alarm messages. The alarm message text to be logged and displayed can be entered into the expression fields in any of these last 16 Boolean statements. These statement numbers are, 1057 through 1072 for flow computers with 48 Boolean statements, and 1073 through 1088 for computers with 64 statements. Each Boolean statement has an associated status point which is accessed using the same address as the statement number (Modbus Point 1072 for instance). The logic state of this status bit normally reflects the logical result of the statement (1 or 0, true or false). When the statement is used to provide a custom alarm message it functions in a different manner. To cause an alarm message to be logged, simply turn on the status point associated with the message.

Technical Bulletin
Example:
In this example, the user wishes to monitor a tank level switch that is connected to Digital I/O Point #1. When the tank level is high, the level switch applies 24 volts to the digital I/O point. Digital I/O Point #1 is first assigned to the Dummy Boolean 1700, this reserves the Point as a digital Input . Modbus Point 1001 will simply follow the digital level applied to the terminals of digital point #1. Had it been Digital Point #22, Modbus Point 1022 would be affected. 1025: 1072: 1072=1001
Move logic value of Digital I/O #1 into Point 1072.
High Level Alarm
Actual alarm text which appears in alarm log.
Statement 1025 (above) is used to transfer the logic state of Digital I/O Point #1 to Point 1072, activating the user alarm whenever 24 volts is applied to the input terminals by the tank high level switch contacts.

Abstract
The following are the data types within the database: Digital Flag Bits : Also known as Boolean bits, status bits and command bits. All data points of this type can be read via Modbus function code 01 and written to using function codes 05 and 0F . Function codes 01 and 0F transfer byte packed data that is sent in the byte order they are prepared (not word order). Points are packed eight to a byte, packing from least significant to most significant Unused bit positions within a byte are cleared on transmission from the Omni and ignored by the Omni when receiving. Writing to status points is allowed but normally is pointless as the status point will be refreshed by the Omni every 500 ms. Valid addresses for this type of data are: 1XXX i.e. 1101, 1705, 1921 etc. 16-bit Integer Registers : All data points of this type can be read via Modbus function code 03 and written to using function codes 06 and 10. Byte order transmitted is: MS byte then LS byte. Valid addresses for this type of data are: X3XXX i.e. 3121, 13133 etc. 8-character ASCII Strings : All data points of this type can be read via Modbus function code 03 and written to using function code 10 (note that function code 06 is not available on this data type). Byte order transmitted is as you would type it. Valid addresses for this type of data are: 4XXX i.e. 4101, 4502 etc. 32-bit Integer Registers : Formatted as twos complement. All data points of this type can be read via Modbus function 03 and written to using function codes 06 and 10. Byte order transmitted is: MS byte of MS word, LS byte of MS word, MS byte of LS word then LS byte of LS word. Valid addresses for this data type are: X5XXX i.e. 5101, 15205 etc.

Omni Flow Computer Modbus Database Extents

Data within the Omni Flow Computer data base is organized in logical groups. Certain data written to the Omni requires special processing to occur in the Omni before it is stored in the data base. Other data is grouped together because it is related in function i.e. a collection of real-time data for a specific process. The list that follows shows the extent of each table or set of data points within the data base. Because the sets of data are not connected, data from adjacent sets cannot be read or written in the same poll.

I/O Driver Concerns When Interfacing to Omni Equipment

Most but not all of the data is grouped in blocks of 100 or so data points. These blocks in many cases are not connected. Limit requests for contiguous data across different blocks by examining the third digit from the right of the data point start and end addresses. If the digit is different break up the poll request.
For Example:
An application requires data from points 7188, 7201 and 7210 to be read and displayed on screen. An intelligent I/O driver may determine that it is more efficient to read 23 data points starting with point 7188 and discard the unused data. In this particular example the Omni will transmit the data for points 7188 through 7199 and blank data will be returned for data points 7200 through 7210 because the data requested is in two different blocks within the Omni. To obtain the data correctly the I/O driver should determine that point 7188 and point 7201 are in different data blocks (because the third digit from the right changed from a 1 to a 2) and send out two data requests; one request for point 7188 and another for points 7201 through 7210.
Write Single Variable - Modbus Function 06

Omni software revisions 20.44 and greater implement this function on all 16-bit and 32-bit data points. Revisions prior to 20.44 implement function 06 on 16-bit integers only. To maintain compatibility with early Omni software revisions it may be advisable to use function 10 to write to single data points as well as multiple data points.
Address Ranges - Future Expansion

Some of the address ranges specified in this document encompass more data than may be available on all applications at this time, Omni advises that for future compatibility any software driver developed should be able to support these address ranges.

Firmware Revisions 22.70+ and 26.70+ of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers have the feature of Meter Factor Linearization. This feature applies to Turbine/Positive Displacement Liquid Flow Metering Systems (with Meter Factor Linearization).
TB-970803 22/26.70+
Technical Bulletin
Abstract
Meter Factor Linearization Function
Flowmeter performance varies depending upon flow rate and fluid viscosity. The flow computer can compensate for this variation in performance by applying a meter factor which is determined by interpolation of a base meter factor curve. The user develops this base meter factor curve by proving the flowmeter at various flow rates and determining the meter factors for those flow rates. A base meter factor curve must be developed for each product or fluid viscosity. The curve can consist of from one to twelve meter factor / flow rate points.
The MF is continuously adjusted for flowrate during a delivery. The MF is flow weight averaged for the batch.
Prove Base Flowrate
Meter Factor The flow computer lifts or lowers the MF curve based on the MF obtained at the latest official flowmeter proving. Flowrate MFs are normalized to the Prove Base Flowrate for validation / comparison and historical archival purposes.

Meter Factor Validation and Control Chart Functions

The second purpose of the base meter factor curve is also to act as a reference against which any meter factors developed during subsequent provings of the flowmeter can be compared. As an aid to this comparison the user specifies the base proving flow rate. This value is the flow rate which is considered to be the normal for the flowmeter concerned. For comparison purposes, each subsequent meter factor is normalized to the base proving flow rate and must pass two tests before it can be implemented. The first test checks that the calculated meter factor is within some maximum percentage deviation from the base curve. The second test verifies that the meter factor when normalized to the base proving flow rate is within some maximum percentage deviation from the historical average of the last n meter factors.

Abstract
Gas compositional data needed by the flow computer to calculate flowing density, mass flow and energy flow of natural gas can be obtained from various sources. The following describes how the flow computer should be configured for each possible scenario.
Basic Calculations
The basic calculations are: u Net Volume = Mass Flow / Density @ Base Conditions u Energy = Net Volume x Heating Value (1) (2)
Density at Base Conditions can be obtained by one of the following methods: u u u u (GC Relative Density) x (Density of Air @ Base Conditions) (Override Relative Density) x (Density of Air @ Base Conditions) (Live 4-20mA Relative Density) x (Density of Air @ Base Conditions) Calculated using Detailed Method of AGA 8 (3) (4) (5) (6)
Heating Value is obtained using one of the following methods:

Heating Value Calculation - The flow computer always calculates Heating Value using one of the mentioned standards, even if it is instructed not to use it. These calculated values are stored in the data base and can be used to compare against the values obtained from the GC or calorimeter.

This entry is in the Factor Setup menu. Setting this entry to 0 ensures that gas density at base conditions is calculated using AGA 8. (method (6) previous page). Entering the density of air at base conditions assuming a valid gas relative density (SG) is available (see next paragraph) will override the AGA 8 calculation of gas density at base conditions. In this case gas density at base conditions is calculated using either method (3), (4) or (5) (previous page).

Calculation of Natural Gas Net Volume and Energy
Gas Relative Density (SG)

This entry is located in the Fluid Analysis Data menu. One entry per active product is required. It is mandatory that this field contain a valid value of SG for all AGA 8 gross calculation methods except for 1985 method #4. The data in this field can be manually entered or, automatically overwritten by a live 4-20mA input of SG if it exists. This entry also serves as the GC SG override if a GC is providing gas relative density (SG) and a GC failure occurs. Entering a minus value in this field will force the flow computer to calculate gas density at base conditions using AGA 8. (method (6) previous page). Entering the gas relative density (SG) assuming a non zero Density of Air @ Base Conditions is entered (see above) will override the AGA 8 calculation of gas density at base conditions. In this case gas density at base conditions is calculated using either method (3), (4) or (5) (previous page). When an AGA 8 detailed method is selected and a GC is used to provide gas relative density (SG), this entry field is ignored unless a GC failure occurs and the GC Fail Code entry is set to Use Override on GC Failure.
Gas Heating Value (HV)

This entry is located in the Fluid Analysis Data menu. One entry per active product is required. It is mandatory that this field contain a valid value of HV for AGA 8 gross calculation method #1 and also AGA 8 1985 methods #2 and #4. The data in this field can be manually entered or, automatically overwritten by a live 4-20mA input of HV if it exists. This entry also serves as the GC HV override if a GC is providing gas heating value (HV) and a GC failure occurs. Entering a minus value in this field will force the flow computer to use a calculated gas heating value (HV) calculated using either AGA 5, GPA 2172 or ISO 6976 ( method (10) previous page). Entering a positive value into the gas heating value (HV) entry will override the AGA 5, GPA 2172 or ISO 6976 calculation of gas heating value (HV). When an AGA 8 detailed method is selected and a GC is used to provide gas heating value (HV), this entry field is ignored unless a GC failure occurs and the GC Fail Code entry is set to Use Override on GC Failure.

Scope
Firmware Revisions 20/24, 22/26 and 23/27 Versions.70+ of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers have the feature of Dual Pulse Fidelity Checking. This feature applies to Turbine/Positive Displacement Liquid and Gas Flow Metering Systems.
TB-970901 20/24//22/26//23/27.70+
Technical Bulletin
Abstract
The object of dual pulse fidelity checking is to reduce flowmeter measurement uncertainty caused by added or missing pulses due to electrical transients or equipment failure. Correct totalizing of flow must be maintained whenever possible. This is achieved by correct installation practices and by using turbine or positive displacement flowmeters which provide two pulse train outputs. In addition, an E Combo I/O Module must be installed and the correct configuration settings entered in the Omni Flow Computer. The two pulse trains are called the A pulse and the B pulse. In normal operation, both signals are equal in frequency and count but are always separated in phase or time. The API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (Chapter 5, Section 5) describes several levels of pulse fidelity checking ranging from Level E to Level A. Level A is the most stringent method, requiring automatic totalizer corrections whenever the pulse trains are different for any reason. For all practical purposes, Level A as described in the API document is probably unachievable. The Omni Flow Computer implements a significantly enhanced Level B pulse security method by not only continuous monitoring and alarming of error conditions but also correcting for obvious error situations, such as a total failure of a pulse train or by rejecting simultaneous transient pulses. No attempt is made to correct for ambiguous errors, such as missing or added pulses. These errors are detected, alarmed and quantified only.
Installation Practices
When using pulse fidelity checking, it is assumed that the user begins with and maintains a perfect noise free installation. The user must ensure that each pulse train input to the flow computer is a clean, low impedance signal which will not be subject to extraneous noise or electromagnetic transients. Any regular occurrence of these types of events must cause the equipment and/or wiring to be suspect and investigated. Pulse fidelity check circuitry is not intended to facilitate continued operation with a poor wiring installation which is prone to noise or transient pickup.

Dual Pulse Flowmeter Pulse Fidelity Checking
How the Flow Computer Performs Fidelity Checking

Hardware on the E Combo I/O Module of the Omni Flow Computer continuously monitors the phase and sequence of the two pulse trains. It also monitors the frequency of the pulse trains. The flow computer determines the correct sequence of flowmeter pulses based on the time interval between pulses rather than the absolute phase difference. It does this by comparing the leading edges of both pulse trains at a set clock interval of 16 microseconds. Maintaining a minimum phase shift between the pulse trains (as indicated below) ensures that related pulse edges of each channel are, in worst case, at least 5 clock samples apart.
MAXIMUM PULSE INPUT FREQUENCY 1.5 kHz 3.0 kHz 6.0 kHz MAXIMUM PHASE SHIFT REQUIRED 45 degrees 90 degrees 180 degrees
Correcting Errors
Missing or added pulses to either pulse train are considered ambiguous errors and cannot be corrected. However, they are detected with a 100% certainty and will be counted, eventually causing an alarm. Totalizing will continue using the A Pulse Train.
Common Mode Electrical Noise and Transients

INFO - A certainty of 85% is a conservative specification. Tests on production units show that a 95% detection is a more typical proportion. This is due to the time skew between pulse channels being closer to 1 sec than 2 sec.
Common mode electrical noise and transients occur at the same instant in time (during the same clock period) on each pulse channel. They are detected with a certainty of 85%*. The certainty can never be 100% because of the slight differences in time (approximately 2 microseconds) that it takes each pulse to travel through its associated input circuitry. These simultaneous pulses are not used to totalize flow but are counted and will cause an alarm.
Noise Pulse Coincident with an Actual Flow Pulse

It is possible that a common mode noise pulse can occur during the same sample period as an actual flow pulse. In this case, the pulse would be detected, alarmed and rejected for totalizing, causing a missing pulse. Statistically though, worst case at 3 kHz pulse input frequency, the odds are approximately 20:1 that the pulse should be rejected. To not reject the pulse would mean accepting 20 times as many extra flow pulses. The 20:1 ratio is based on the ratio of the periodic time of the flow pulses divided by the periodic time of the sample period (e.g.: 333.3sec / 16sec approximately equals 21).
TB-970901 20/24//22/26//23/27.70+
Technical Bulletin
Total Failure of a Pulse Channel

A total failure of either pulse train will be detected with a 100% certainty. The flow computer will alarm this condition and continue totalizing with the remaining pulse train as recommended in API MPMS (Chapter 5, Section 5).
Alarms and Displays

To avoid spurious nuisance alarms such as can occur when flow begins, pulse fidelity checking is disabled until the incoming frequency exceeds a user preset frequency. Any differences in the two pulse trains will then be accumulated and used to trigger an alarm when a user preset value is exceeded. Error accumulations can be displayed or printed at any time. They are reset only at the start of a new batch. Alarms are time tagged and recorded in the historical alarm log.

Abstract
This technical bulletin addresses the various serial communication options that can be used to transfer data between Omni flow computers and Honeywell TDC3000 systems. The hardware equipment used and the limitations of each method are also discussed. Three types of serial communication modules are available:
1) Serial I/O (SIO) module in combination with either an Advanced Process

Manager (APM) or High Performance Process Manager (HPM) module.
2) Programmable Logic Controller Gateway (PLCG) 3) Communication Link Module (CLM)

MVIP testing was performed using an Omni 6000 and Honeywell module types (1) and (2) above. Due to the unavailability of equipment and time constraints, tests were not performed using the CLM module. After MVIP testing it was the opinion of the Honeywell engineer that communications with the more powerful and flexible CLM module would pose no problem to the Omni. The nature of the types of tasks performed by the CLM module usually mean that a certain amount of custom I/O driver programming is the norm. This being the case, the CLM is the most flexible but also most expensive connectivity option.
Communication Method 1: APM / HPM - SIO

Honeywell engineers state that with regard to serial communication there are no differences between the APM-SIO connection and the HPM-SIO connection. This document will target the APM system but all discussion will also apply to the HPM system. The APM is a I/O rack system used to get I/O signals into the DCS system. It is comprised of a plug in APM processor module and various other serial I/O, analog I/O and digital I/O plug in modules. The APM rack system can be expanded by adding one or more additional racks. Assuming open slots are available, up to 16 SIO modules can be connected to each APM system. Each SIO module is connected to the target equipment via a Field Termination Assembly (FTA). Each FTA has 2 serial ports with each port individually configurable as either an RS232 port or 2 wire RS485 port. Port characteristics are as follows: u u u u Modicon compatible Modbus RTU protocol Maximum baud rate of 19200 kbps Data bits 8 Stop bits and parity selectable
TB-980201 ALL.71+
TB-980201
FTA Array Points

Each FTA has a maximum amount of memory space allocated by the APM. This memory is organized in 16 blocks called Array Points. In addition, each HPM or APM is limited to 80 Array points in total that must be shared between all the SIO modules in its rack system. Each Array Point can therefore hold 512 bits of data and can hold one type of data variable. Each Array Point can therefore be configured as one of the following: 512 32 16 16 Coils or Status points. 16 bit Short Integer registers IEEE Floating point variables 32 bit Long Integer variables (see below)
With a maximum of 16 array points available per FTA it can be seen that data consolidation and grouping becomes very important. Typical TDC3000-Omni systems will require a mixture of data types to be exchanged, this further complicates the configuration process. The user must take care not to waste valuable memory space by partially filling array points. Try to minimize the types of variable (e.g.: if you only need to read a few short integers consider converting them to long integers within the flow computer using variable statements). The limited number of array points also impacts how many Omni flow computers can be connected (multi dropped) to each FTA for example: Most applications require long integer totalizers, IEEE floating point values and also alarm statuses. This means that at least 3 array points will be needed per Omni and that assumes that 16 IEEE floats, 16 totalizers and 512 alarms will be sufficient to transfer all the data needed by the TDC3000 system (extremely unlikely, as there could be up to 4 meter runs configured).
32-Bit Long Integer Variables

Long integer types are not supported directly by the TDC3000 system. They can be read as 2 concatenated 16-bit short integers and combined within the TDC3000 system. The Honeywell cannot write to Omni long integer types because the Honeywell SIO Modbus protocol does not support Modbus function code 16 (write multiple registers) for integer registers. The protocol does however support writing to IEEE Floating point variables. Omnis experience has shown that there are very few instances where the TDC3000 system needs to write long integers within the flow computer. Typical long integer data that there has been a need to write in the past has been duplicated in IEEE floats as shown below and on following page.

Configuring The Omni Flow Computer

Setup the flow computer serial port settings to match the Honeywell FTA settings and make sure to select Modicon Compatible. In view of the Honeywell array point limitation it is important to group the data as efficiently as possible within the Omni flow computer. Two options are available: 1) Custom data packet arrays 2) Move data to flow computer scratchpad variables using Variable Statements Method 1 must be used if it will be necessary to both read and write into the variables. Method 2 can only be used when it is only necessary to read data.
Data Grouping Option (a) Custom Data Packet Setup

The Omni flow computer has 3 custom data packet areas where data can be grouped. These 3 data areas are addressed starting at Modbus addresses 0001, 0201 and 0401. Configure these data areas by completing the custom packet setup menus in the flow computer. When the Omni serial port is set as being Modicon Compatible the custom packet data is read / write accessible by the TDC3000 system. Unlike the FTA arrays, the Omni does allow mixed data types within a custom data packet/array. This means that multiple FTA array points can be associated with one custom packet.
Modbus Function Codes Used to Access Custom Packet Data Within The Omni
The Omni supports the following Modbus function codes to access custom packet data: Read Multiple Registers Write Multiple Registers Write Single Register 03 16 06
TB-980201 ALL.71+
TB-980201
From the above it can be seen that Boolean variables must be handled differently when grouped within a custom array. They cannot be accessed using the normal Modbus function codes 01, 05 and 15. They can be read and written but as byte packed bits within Registers not as Coils and Status bits. For this reason it is recommended that writes to Boolean coils be accomplished by using the normal Modbus function code 05 and writing directly to the database Boolean point address.
CAUTION!
Here is an example showing a typical setup using the custom packet located at address 0001:

Because Boolean data is byte packed the user must ensure that the number of Booleans included in the custom packet are grouped in such a way as to ensure that the packet always contains an even number of bytes (i.e. the function codes we are using expect to be dealing with registers and you cant have half a register).
These packets are available but are not used in this example.
The above shows a total of 32 floating points,16 long integers, 16 short integers and 192 Boolean status bits packed in 24 bytes being mapped in 1 custom data packet and 5 FTA arrays.

Data Grouping Option (b) Variable Statement Moves to Scratchpad Variables

Option (b) is limited to when data needs to be read but not written to. Non contiguous data is moved into the flow computer scratchpad variables located at:
Boolean Scratchpad Variables Integer Scratchpad Variables String Scratchpad Variables Long Integer Scratchpad Variables Floating Point Scratchpad Variables 1501 3501 4501 5501 7501 through through through through through 1699 3599 4599 5599 7599
User Boolean statements are used to group Boolean bits as follows: Example:
1025: 1026: 1501=1105:1169 1565=1205:1269 Move 64 bits to 1501 through 1564 Move 64 bits to 1565 through 1628
User variable statements are used to move all of the remaining data types as follows: Example:
7025: 7026: 7501=7101:7103 7504=7201:7203 Move 3 floats to 7501 through 7503 Move 3 floats to 7504 through 7506
Communication Method 2: Programmable Logic Gateway (PLCG)

The PLCG is meant to receive register data from PLCs representing unscaled analog values and 16-bit counters. Functionality is built into the PLCG which allows the user to easily scale analog inputs of 0-9999 or 0-4095 into engineering units. Alarm points can also be entered and monitored. This philosophy is at odds with the Omni flow computer as the vast majority of the variables within the flow computer are in engineering units requiring no scaling or alarm checking in the PLCG. In addition most of the data is contained in IEEE floating point format or 32-bit long integer values. The Modbus protocol supported by the PLCG unlike the APM-SIO module does not support reads or writes of IEEE floating point data. The protocol also does not support multiple register writes which would be required to write data to a flow computer long integer type. The PLCG can however be configured to scale other nominal ranges such as 0999 of which there are some variables of this type within the flow computer as shown below:
Mtr#1 Current Gross Flow Rates Current Net Flow Rates Current Mass Flow Rates Current S&W Corrected Flow Rates Current Temperature Current Pressure Current Analog Density 3142 3140 3144 3149 3147 3146 3148 Mtr#2 3242 3240 3244 3249 3247 3246 3248 Mtr#3 3342 3340 3344 3349 3347 3346 3348 Mtr#4 3442 3440 3444 3449 3447 3446 3448 Station 3804 3802 3806 3809 3808 3810
TB-980201 ALL.71+
TB-980201
Counter inputs ranging from 0-65535 are treated more generically requiring no scaling and are usually used for display purposes or are passed to an Application Module (AM) for processing. There are two options to monitor totalizing within the Omni flow computer:
1) Read long integer totalizers as two consecutive counter inputs and

combine in the Application Module (AM) as follows: Totalizer = (high register * 65536) + low register
2) Read specially provided 16 bit integer non-resetable totalizers that roll at

65536 within the Omni data base shown below.
Mtr#1 Gross Totalizer Net Totalizer Mass Totalizer S&W Corrected Net Totalizer 3143 3141 3145 3150 Mtr#2 3243 3241 3245 3250 Mtr#3 3343 3341 3345 3350 Mtr#4 3443 3441 3445 3450 Station 3805 3803 3807
The advantage of option (1) above is that any of the internal totalizers of the flow computer can be read in this manner and the results displayed by the TDC3000 system will match the flow computer displayed values. Option (2) is limited to one set of non-resetable totals which are not normally displayed at the flow computer and are of limited use. Using Variable Statements within the Omni flow computer makes it easy to convert just about any variable within the flow computers data base into a 16-bit register that can be read by the PLCG as either a counter or an analog (assuming the data will fit), the only problem being the availability of enough variable statements (64 are provided). Example 1: Variable read as counter for display only
7025: 3501=7105*#10 3501 contains M #1 temperature in tenths of degrees
Example 2: Variable read as unscaled analog 0-4095 representing 50 to 150 F

7026: 7027: 7105-#50 3502=7026*#40.95 Adjust for 50 degree zero point 100 degree span = 4095, move to scratch integer 3502
Note that in Example 2 above, no attempt was made to limit the impact of over or under range values passed to the PLCG. It is the authors understanding that inputs outside of the expected range cause bad process value alarms in the PLCG.

Selection of Communication Method

Analysis of the various methods available shows that communications via the APM-SIO or HPM-SIO are most likely to provide the best solution, providing reasonable access to the flow computers database and requiring no custom driver programming in the TDC3000 system. Because of the awkward philosophical fit between the PLCG and flow computer type devices, many of the built in features of the PLCG (such as scaling and alarming) cannot be used. For this reason the use of a PLCG is not recommended except for instances where one already exists in a system and has an open port and an APM or HPM is not available. The CLM module is potentially the most flexible solution but the cost impact of any custom software driver development must be determined. Omni does not know whether a compatible protocol driver exists at this time, please contact Honeywell for more information in this regard.

Technical Bulletin
Abstract
The purpose of recalculating a previous batch is to make batch quantity corrections based on SG60/API60 and Sediment and Water data becoming available via sample analysis performed after a batch delivery is complete. At measurement locations where SG60/API60 and S&W values are not available online, sampler devices continuously extract a representative sample of fluid during a batch. At the end of the batch the sample container is sent for lab analysis. The data obtained from the analysis report can then be used to recalculate the batch correction factors and therefore batch quantities. Historical data from these analysis reports is also used to determine what values of SG60/API60 should be used for real time calculation of future batches that are known to have similar characteristic. These batches ultimately can also be recalculated when their actual analysis is determined.
Calculations Performed
u The liquid correction factors Ctl and Cpl are first recalculated using the sample analysis SG60/API60 and the batch flow weighted average temperature and pressure calculated during the batch. u Gross Standard Volume (GSV) is recalculated using the newly calculated Ctl and Cpl. u The Sediment and Water correction factor Csw is calculated using the sample analysis S&W%. u Net Standard Volume (NSV) is recalculated using the recalculated GSV and Csw factor.

TIP - Note that only 4 lines can be displayed at one time. Use the scroll up or down arrows keys to display additional text.

! "
Step 2
Select which previous batch you wish to recalculate. The Omni stores the last 4 completed batches numbered as: 1 = last batch completed to 4 = oldest batch completed. Press [] to scroll down to Select Prev # Batch and enter a number between 1 and 4, depending upon which batch is to be recalculated. The flow computer moves the selected previous batch data to the previous batch data points within the database (see explanation later in this document)
Step 3
Enter Password when requested.
TB-980202 20/24.71+
Technical Bulletin
Step 4
Scroll to either Enter API60 or Enter SG60. Type in a valid value and press [Enter].
Step 5
Scroll to Recalculate & Print?. Press [Y] and then [Enter]. At this time the flow computer will recalculate the batch data and send the report to the printer and the Historical Batch Report Buffer in RAM memory. Batch report data can also be captured in Raw Data Archive RAM using the trigger Boolean 1n76. The default batch report shows the batch number as XXXXXXXX where the number ahead of the - is the batch number (5n90) and the number after the - is the number of times that the batch has been recalculated (3n52). Variable (3n52) is reset to 0 at the end of a batch and increments each time the batch is recalculated.

How the Flow Computer Manages the Modbus Database

A pointer mechanism has been utilized which avoids having to have duplicate data points for every batch report variable for each of the four previous batches. Only one set of data points for previous batch data are mapped within the Modbus database. A pointer register is used to determine which set of previous batch data will be available by accessing the previous batch data points within the Modbus database. Using the batch gross totalizer variable as an example, we have:
Note: The second digit of the index number (indicated as n) defines which meter run you are working with (i.e., n = 1, 2, 3 or 4).
u Modbus address of Current Batch in Progress Gross Totalizer is 5n01 u Modbus address of Previous Batch Gross Totalizer is 5n50 u Modbus address of Pointer register to select which previous batch is mapped is 3n51 As the batch progresses, the gross totalizer (5n01) accumulates flow. At the end of the batch the flow computer performs the following actions:
1) #3 previous batch data replaces #4 previous batch data 2) #2 previous batch data replaces #3 previous batch data 3) #1 previous batch data replaces #2 previous batch data 4) Current batch data replaces #1 previous batch data 5) Pointer register 3n51 is set to the value 1 so that the Modbus database
addresses for previous batch will access data for the batch just ended. This ensures that the batch report which prints immediately at the end of a batch and gets its data from the Modbus database, includes the correct information. The following table (using the batch gross totalizer as an example) shows typical data that would be read by accessing Modbus points 5n01 and 5n50. The data read depends upon the value of pointer register 3n51.

DANGER!
Scope
Electrical Shock Hazard! Dangerous AC voltages are present on the power supply module and ribbon cable when the unit is AC powered. To avoid electrical shock which could be fatal, It is imperative that you remove all power before opening and disassembling the flow computer and take any other necessary precautions. Only qualified technicians should work on any internal circuitry. Omni Flow Computers, Inc. is not responsible for personal injuries or accidents that may occur when working on flow computer circuitry.
The observations and instructions for replacing Erasable Programmable Readonly Memory (EPROM) chips contained in this technical bulletin are applicable to all firmware revisions of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers. It is strongly recommended that EPROMs be replaced only by qualified personnel.
Abstract
You will need to replace EPROMs usually to upgrade your flow computer firmware. Certain critical steps must be performed when replacing EPROMs. It is strongly recommended that EPROMs be replaced only by qualified personnel. Before removing any circuit boards from the flow computer, the following must be observed: u Personal Safety : Although most of the internal circuits are powered by relatively low voltages, dangerous AC voltages are present on the power supply module and ribbon cable when the unit is AC powered. For this reason it is important to remove all power before disassembling the computer. u Static Electricity : Static electricity can be generated simply by moving around on certain surfaces or wearing certain types of clothing. The flow computers printed circuits can be damaged by this static electricity. Take approved static device handling precautions when working on the flow computer. After replacement, the old EPROMs must be returned to the manufacturing department of Omni Flow Computers, Inc. in Stafford, Texas. A Business Reply Label is available for this purpose.
CAUTION!
Static electricity can damage flow computer circuitry. Take approved static device handling precautions when working on the flow computer.

Instructions
To replace EPROM chips, follow these instructions: (1) Stop flow then end the batch. Record all data by retrieving all reports and saving and printing the flow computer configuration using OmniCom Software. Verify that the file in OmniCom is the correct version. (2) Enter the Password Maintenance Mode and enter the privileged password for your computer. Scroll down to Reset All Ram ? and enter [Y]. For Omni flow computers manufactured after 1995, resetting all RAM will not affect totalizer and calibration data. (3) Remove all power from the computer and completely disconnect all AC/DC power. (4) If you have an Omni 3000 Flow Computer, remove the Digital I/O Module from Slot #2. This will allow better access to the CPU Module in Slot #1.
CAUTION!
When removing the CPU Module, take extreme care not to bend or fold the membrane keypad ribbon cable too sharply, or the metallic traces could be damaged.
(5) The CPU is connected to the front panel via a short ribbon cable that is folded in a specific manner. Carefully remove the CPU Module just far enough to unplug this ribbon cable. When removing the CPU Module, allow the connector edge of the module to tilt towards the back of the flow computer. This will enable the Ni-Cad battery on the CPU Module to slide past the program inhibit switch on the front panel assembly. Take special care not to bend or fold the membrane keypad ribbon cable too sharply, or the metallic traces could be damaged. (6) Using an EPROM extractor or small flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully pry up one end of the EPROM and repeat the prying at its other end. This will allow the EPROM to be removed without bending any pins. (7) Lay the module on a non-metallic surface to prevent shorting out the NiCad Battery. Install the new EPROMs making sure that the orientation notches are correctly positioned and that no pins are bent under the chip. To install, line up one edge of the EPROM pins making sure that the opposite edge is lined up with the socket holes, and firmly press the EPROM into the socket. (8) Reinstall the CPU Module in the reverse order and apply power. (9) Initialize the computer using OMNI as the password. Repeat Step (2) to reset all RAM, and reintialize the flow computer once again using OMNI as the password. (10) Manually create a new file based on the oil file printout and upload the newly created configuration file to the OMNI. Remember to use the Business Reply Label supplied with your new EPROMs. Please return the old EPROMs to Omni Flow Computers, Inc.
Location of EPROM Chips- The location of the EPROM chips on the CPU Module is shown in Fig. 1. The EPROMs are the two large 32-pin Integrated Circuits (ICs or chips) with labels marked U3 and U4. Note the position of the orientation notches at one end of each EPROM.

Technical Bulletin
Abstract
Communications between Omni flow computers is accomplished using the peerto-peer function. This function is available only on Serial Port #2 with data being transmitted and received using Modbus RTU protocol. A data transaction list within each flow computer defines each Read or Write operation to be transacted for that computer. A maximum of 16 transactions per flow computer are available. The transaction list must be contiguous (i.e., an empty transaction will be treated as the end of list). Two optional serial communication I/O modules are available with your flow computer: the RS-232-C (compatible) Model #68-6005, and the RS-232-C/RS485 Model #68-6205. The older Model #68-6005 is only capable of RS-232 compatible serial communications. The newer Model #68-6205 is capable of either RS-232 or RS-485 communications via a selection jumper. When jumpered for RS-232, the characteristics and functionality of this module is identical to that of the older RS-232-C module.
Determining Which Computer Will Be Master

Each flow computer wishing to communicate must temporarily become a Modbus Master so that messages may be initiated and its transaction list processed. This is accomplished when the current Modbus Master completes its transaction list and broadcasts the Modbus address of the next computer to be the master. The computer with the Modbus ID which matches the broadcast then assumes mastership and proceeds to process its transaction list. A time-out occurs whenever the next master in sequence does not take mastership and the broadcast will be retried once. Should the computer still fail to respond, the current master will attempt to pass mastership to the next computer in sequence by incrementing the Modbus ID by one and re-broadcasting the new Modbus ID. Each flow computer needing to process a transaction list (i.e., be a master) requires the following three entries: (1) Next Master in Sequence; (2) Last Master in Sequence; and (3) Retry Timer (50mS ticks). These entries are in the Peer-to-Peer Setup menu and function as follows: Entry 1 : This entry is the Modbus ID for the next flow computer master. A non zero entry here is what actually turns on the peer-to-peer function. Modbus IDs for master devices in the link must be assigned starting at 1, and for maximum efficiency not contain any missing IDs (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, Not 1, 3, 6, 10, for instance). Entry 2 : This entry is the Modbus ID for the last flow computer master. Any master failing to find the next master will keep trying Modbus IDs until it reaches this ID, it will then start the search again at Modbus ID 1. Entry 3 : This entry is used to setup the communication retry rate. When the peer-to-peer link is solely comprised of Omni flow computers this entry should be set to 3 ticks (150 msec).

Communication Settings for the Peer-to-Peer Link

The following settings must be used: u u u u Modbus RTU Protocol 8 Data Bits 1 Stop Bit No Parity
While slower baud rates can be used, 38.4 kbps or 19.2 kbps will provide maximum performance.
Foreign Modbus Devices and Single Master Systems

INFO - It is important to note that in a peer-to-peer system, only the flow computers that have a nonzero entry for Next Master in Sequence are limited to using Serial Port #2, all of the other flow computers are simply acting as Modbus slaves and can use any valid Modbus serial port.
The peer-to-peer function is not limited to multiple Omni flow computers. Some applications simply require a single flow computer master to communicate with a variety of Modbus slave devices which may be flow computers, PLCs etc. In these cases, the entries 1 and 2 above would be set to 1 in the master flow computer only, signifying only one master is in the system. Entry 3 above would normally be set to 3 but may need to be increased depending upon the message response time of any foreign Modbus devices in the system.

RS-485 Wiring Requirements

Multivariable Transmitting Devices - In addition to the Serial I/O Module # 686205, the flow computer must also have an MV Module to communicate with multivariable transmitters. This serial module is jumpered to IRQ 3 when used in combination with an MV Module. Without an MV Module, the jumper is placed at IRQ 2. The MV Module can only be used with this serial module (686205) and is not compatible with the Serial I/O Module # 68-6005. For more information, see Technical Bulletin # TB-980303.

Setting up Transactions
To process a transaction the flow computer requires the following data for each transaction:
Modbus Broadcast Address 0 - This address only applies to write transactions.
: The Modbus address of the target device. This can be any valid Modbus address including the broadcast address 0. Read or Write : Select the appropriate operation. Source Point Number : Specifies the data base address of the variable in the source device. For a read operation the slave is the source. For a write operation the source is the Omni flow computer master. Number of Points : The number of consecutive data variables to transfer between devices, starting at the source point number or address. Destination Point Number : Specifies the data base address of the variable in the destination device. For a write operation the slave is the destination. For a read operation the destination is the Omni flow computer master. Slave ID
What Modbus Function Codes Are Used

The flow computer decides what Modbus function code will be used depending upon the Omni flow computer data type specified in the transaction. Transactions involving short or long integers or IEEE floats will use Modbus function codes 03H for reads and 10H for writes. Boolean variables are packed 8 to a byte starting at LS bit and use function codes 01H for reads and 0FH for writes.
Special Considerations when Modicon Compatible is Selected for Port #2

Some adjustments to the previous entries are needed when communicating with devices that require Modicon Compatible to be selected for the peer-to-peer port. 1) All data base point addresses (whether source or destination) referring to the foreign Modicon compatible device, should be entered as one less than the point address listed. This is needed because the Modicon device automatically adds one to the address received over the data link and subtracts one from the address before transmitting. References to data base point addresses within the Omni flow computer master still use the normal point address as shown in the Omni documentation. 2) The number of points entry becomes the number of 16 bit registers to transfer, rather than the number of data variables.

Using Peer-to-Peer with Micro Motion Coriolis Mass Meters

The Omni flow computer can be configured to accept mass or volume pulses from a Micro Motion (MM) Coriolis Meter RFT transmitter as well as communicate via Modbus to the device and obtain variables such as fluid density and MM transducer alarm status. The flow computer is equipped with special firmware code to make the interface to the Micro Motion meter more useful and hopefully simpler. The communication link between the Micro Motion meter and the flow computer is via the peer-to-peer link. It is possible to have multiple Micro Motion meters connected to multiple flow computers as shown below.

Peer-to-Peer Basics
The Micro Motion Meter is a Modicon Compatible Device

Some adjustments to the peer-to-peer entries are needed when communicating with devices that require Modicon Compatible to be selected for the peer-topeer port (Serial Port #2). 1) All data base point addresses (whether source or destination) referring to the foreign Modicon compatible device, should be entered as one less than the point address listed. This is needed because the Modicon device automatically adds one to the address received over the data link and subtracts one from the address before transmitting. References to data base point addresses within the Omni flow computer master still use the normal point address as shown in the Omni documentation. 2) The number of points entry becomes the number of 16 bit registers to transfer, rather than the number of data variables.
Setting Up the Peer-to-Peer Transactions

Note: Meter Run #1 Density I/O point must be assigned to 99 and Serial Port #2 must be assigned to be Modicon Compatible for this to work correctly. Note also that the MM Modicon documentation manual lists the flowing density as point number 20249. This is common with Modicon compatible devices. Where there is a 5 digit address, drop the first digit and subtract 1 from the point address before using it in a transaction.
The following peer-to-peer transaction reads the flowing density of the fluid from the Micro Motion device (Modbus ID #2) and stores it in data base point 7108 (unfactored density, meter run #1). Transaction #1 Target Slave ID Read/Write ? Source Point # # of Points Destination Pnt # ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ 2 R 248 2 7108
The next transaction reads a 16-bit integer register from the MM meter which contains packed alarm status bits. These are stored in a special register within the flow computer which causes them to be time and date tagged, printed and logged just as though they were flow computer alarms. Transaction #2 Target Slave ID Read/Write ? Source Point # # of Points Destination Pnt # ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ 2 R 0 1 3118
The examples above refer to Meter #1 transactions that the flow computer is requesting. More transactions may be needed depending upon what data is required and how many meter runs are being used.

Technical Bulletin
Abstract
Redundancy involves using two identically equipped flow computers and connecting them in such a way to ensure uninterrupted measurement and control functionality in the event of failure of one of the units. This requires that all input and output signals are connected to both computers. During normal operation, one computer is designated the primary and the other computer the secondary or backup. To ensure synchronization between both devices, important variables such as PID controller settings, control valve positions and proving meter factors must be transmitted from the primary flow computer via the peer-to-peer link to the secondary flow computer. Should a failure of the primary flow computer occur, the secondary flow computer is automatically promoted to primary and assumes all control and measurement functions. In this case the data flow on the peer-to-peer link reverses automatically and the new master begins to transmit critical data to the slave, assuming that it is functioning. Peer-to-peer communication errors can occur during the switch over and are normal. They are cleared by pressing the [Ack] key on the flow computer keypad or writing to point 1712 (acknowledge station alarms). If the other flow computer is non-operational, the peer-to-peer communication errors cannot be cleared.

Setting Up the Peer-to-Peer for Redundant Flow Computer Applications

The Activate Redundancy Mode entry is found in the peer-to-peer setup menu. Answering Yes causes the Next Master and Last Master entries to disappear from the menu. They no longer need to be entered as the two flow computers now manage these two entries automatically. Any data needing to be synchronized between the flow computers will need to be setup by the user as transactions in the peer-to-peer menu.
TB-980402 ALL.70+
Technical Bulletin
Two transactions are needed to handle redundant PID control:

Transactions #1 & #2 Both primary and secondary flow computers must have these entries if they will be used for PID control. u Transaction #1 sends the primary flow computer PID control mode settings (Auto/Manual, Local/Remote) to the secondary flow computer. u Transaction #2 sends the primary flow computer PID set points and valve position values to the secondary flow computer.
Transaction #1
Target Slave ID Read/Write ? Source Point # # of Points Destination Pnt # Target Slave ID Read/Write ? Source Point # # of Points Destination Pnt #
........ 2 ........ W ........ 13462 ........ 8 ........ 13470 ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ 2 W 7601 20 7601
Transaction #2
More peer-to-peer transactions are needed if additional data needs to be transferred, meter factors for example. Flow computers containing firmware Revisions 22 or 26 handle meter factor implementation differently than Revisions 20 or 24. These applications maintain historical meter factor entries which are triggered and stored when the meter factor is accepted and implemented at the end of a meter proving. As only the primary flow computer will be doing the actual proving, three special variables with associated firmware code have been added to the data base of revisions 22 and 26. By writing to and reading from these variables via the peer-to-peer link, the secondary flow computer can implement the meter factor result obtained when the primary computer completes and accepts a prove result.
Transactions #3 & #4 (Applicable to Firmware Versions 22 & 26 Only) Both primary and secondary flow computers must have these entries. u Transaction #3 is used to send the prove meter factor (5904) and the number of the meter last proved (5905) to the secondary flow computer. u Transaction #4 confirms that the meter factor has been implemented in the secondary flow computer by reading back a copy of the number of the meter run just proved (5906).
The following two transactions are required: Transaction #3 Target Slave ID Read/Write ? Source Point # # of Points Destination Pnt # Target Slave ID Read/Write ?

Sensing Failures and Switching between Redundant Computers

When Activate Redundancy is selected in the peer-to-peer menu, data base variables are activated to provide a redundancy switching mechanism which is accomplished by cross connecting 4 digital I/O points from each flow computer (primary and secondary). These database variables are: 2863 Watchdog status for this computer. Goes true 5 seconds after initialization and remains true as long as the flow computer is functioning correctly. Mastership status for this flow computer. True whenever this flow computer is the primary or master computer in the redundancy scheme. Watchdog status input from the other flow computer. This flow computer will assume mastership if it sees this point go false. Mastership status input from the other flow computer. This flow computer will relinquish mastership if it sees this point go true.

Changing the Master / Slave Status via a Modbus Serial Port

Sometimes it may be necessary to force a swap of primary (master) and secondary (slave) flow computers. For example, if both primary and secondary flow computers are functioning correctly (i.e. watchdogs are OK) but the MMI serial communication link to the primary flow computer was lost, it would be necessary to make the secondary flow computer the primary. Two special data base points are available to provide this function, they are: 2715 Be Master - writing a one to this point automatically promotes this flow computer to master. This in turn causes the digital I/O point which is assigned point 2864 ( Mastership Status ) to go true. Assuming the digital I/O are cross connected as shown in the preceding figure, the other flow computer will automatically relinquish mastership when this happens. Be Slave - writing a one to this point automatically demotes this flow computer to slave. This in turn causes the digital I/O point which is assigned point 2864 ( Mastership Status ) to go false. Assuming the digital I/O are cross connected as shown in the preceding figure, the other flow computer will automatically assume mastership when this happens.
Note: The 2716 command will not work if the other flow computers watchdog status is not active (i.e., the other computer must be functioning correctly before this flow computer can give up mastership).
2716
Both the above commands are edge triggered needing only to be turned on, they do not need to be turned off.
Redirecting the Control Signals

In the event of a primary/secondary flow computer swap, a method is needed to redirect the appropriate 4-20 mA signals to control valves and other functions. One way of doing this is to use a DC relay with type C contacts. Suitable relays are available with multiple sets of contacts. The relay can be energized by the digital output assigned to indicate Mastership Status from one of the flow computers.
TB-980402 ALL.70+
TB-980402
Sharing Input Signals Between Primary and Secondary Flow Computers

In a redundant system all input signals must be connected to both primary and secondary flow computers. Voltage pulse signals such as flowmeters and densitometer devices must be connected in parallel to the appropriate inputs of both flow primary and secondary computers. Current pulse signals must first be converted to voltage pulses by suitable input shunt resistor or source resistor. As a general rule, follow the wiring recommendations shown for a normal single flow computer installation (see Volume 1 of the User Manual) and then simply wire the second flow computer terminals in parallel with the first computer. Analog 4-20 mA signals should be converted to 1-5 volt signals by using a low temperature coefficient precision 250 ohm resistor. For each signal, configure the combo modules of both flow computers for 1-5 volt inputs and wire them in parallel across an appropriate 250 ohm resistor mounted externally to the flow computers.
Re-Calibration of Analog Inputs

Each flow computer input channel which is configured for 1 - 5 volt input signals will need to be verified for accuracy. Re-calibration may be necessary depending upon the accuracy of the 250 ohm resistor used and how well it matches the internal 250 ohm resistor that was used when the input channel was originally calibrated. The system wiring between the flow computer and the 250 ohm resistor can also slightly affect the input calibration.
Sharing Digital I/O Signals Between Primary and Secondary Flow Computers
Digital I/O channels configured as status inputs should be simply wired in parallel (ORed) with the other flow computer. Digital I/O channels configured as outputs may possibly require relay isolation similar to that needed for analog outputs described previously. Typical output signals that need to be relay isolated are sampler pulse outputs. Prover control signals do not usually need to be relay isolated as the secondary computer will never be attempting to control the prover while it is the slave or secondary computer. The user will need to determine which outputs need to be isolated based on whether it is possible or likely that the slave computer would activate the output when not in control.

Scope
Firmware Revisions 21.72+/25.72+ and 23.72+/27.72+ of Omni 6000/Omni 3000 Flow Computers are affected by the issues contained in this technical bulletin. This Bulletin applies to Orifice/Differential Pressure Liquid Flow Metering Systems and to Orifice Gas Flow Metering Systems.
Abstract
The Rosemount 3095FB Multivariable sensor assembly is used to measure differential pressure (DP), static pressure (SP) and line temperature (T). Application of the 3095FB is limited to flow computer revisions 21, 23, 25 and 27 which work with differential head devices such as orifice meters, nozzles and venturi meters. Because the flow computer is limited to a maximum of four meter runs it is also limited to a maximum of four 3095FB multivariable transmitters. Data is accessed from the 3095FB transmitter via a 2 wire RS-485 data link at 9600 baud using Modbus protocol. Technically, it would have been possible to use one of the flow computers standard serial ports to communicate with the 3095FB but this would have caused several problems: u Reduced the number of serial ports available for use with SCADA, PLCs and OmniCom etc. u Extra 'A type combo modules would have to be purchased simply to provide analog outputs in a minimum system requiring just the multivariables. Omni chose to design a special SV combo module which includes two 2 wire RS-485 ports and six 4-20 mA analog outputs. With this module it becomes possible to provide a powerful Omni 3000 system with the following specs: u Four meter runs with Differential Pressure, Static Pressure and Temperature inputs. u Four communication ports for SCADA, PLC, Printer, OmniCom etc. u Twelve Digital I/O for logic control u Six digital to analog outputs. This SV module is capable of connecting to one to four 3095FBs in various multi-drop configurations. A second SV combo module can be utilized in applications where point to point operation of more than two multivariable transmitters is desirable.

TB-980501
Important Omni Flow Computer Compatibility Issues When Using SV Combo Modules
The SV combo modules are effectively serial I/O modules which have been specially designed to communicate with various multivariable transmitters. Changes have been made to the IRQ priorities to accommodate these SV combo modules. These IRQ changes also involve the Serial I/O Combo Modules that are used to connect to printers, OmniCom, PLCs and SCADA devices.
Serial Communication Module Compatibility

SV combo modules cannot be installed in flow computer systems containing RS-232-C Serial I/O Combo modules model type 68-6005. The IRQ settings on the 68-6005 serial combo module are not jumper selectable and are incompatible with the 'SV combo modules. The flow computer will not be able to initialize or boot up if this module is installed (this will be evident by a blank LCD screen which flashes its backlighting on and off every 1.5 seconds). The more recent 68-6205 serial module which is both RS-232-C and RS-485 compatible, has jumper selectable IRQ settings, these must be installed in the IRQ 3 position when an SV combo module is present (see technical bulletin TB-980503 for more details).
Other Known System Incompatibilities

At the time this bulletin was prepared, it was not possible to install both an SV combo module and an HV (Honeywell multivariable) combo module.
Equipment Ordering Limitations

Because of the compatibility issues raised in the above paragraphs, it is not possible for the customer to retrofit existing flow computer installations with SV combo modules. Any system which requires SV combo modules, must be purchased new from Omni, or the system must be returned to Omni to be modified (contact a sales person at Omni for upgrade details and pricing).

Connectivity Issues When Connecting to the 3095FB Multivariable Transmitters: Multi-drop versus Point-to-Point
The 3095 FB multivariable transmitter is a four wire device, two power wires and two wires for the RS-485 serial communication link. It can be connected in a point-to-point or multi-drop wiring configuration.
Advantages of Multi-drop Configurations

The advantages of multi-drop configurations are: u Possibly less wire may be needed to connect devices under certain conditions. This may or may not be the case depending upon equipment placement. u One Omni SV Combo module can handle up to four 3095 FB multivariable transmitters. An Omni 3000 can be used in place of an Omni 6000 and handle four meter runs.
Disadvantages of Multi-drop Configurations

Disadvantages of multi-drop configurations are: u Multiple Modbus IDs required. Each multi-dropped transmitter must have a unique Modbus ID which matches the Modbus ID selected within the flow computer for that meter run multivariable. u Possibility of errors when replacing multivariable transmitters. Because of the multiple Modbus addresses it is not possible to simply take a transmitter off the shelf and install it in a multi-drop configuration. This is because transmitters come from Rosemount with the Modbus address defaulted to 1 and there may already be a transmitter in the loop using that address. Adding a second transmitter with the same address as an existing transmitter would effectively cause a loss of signal on both transmitters (existing and new). Depending upon where the transmitter is in the wiring, termination jumpers may or may not be required on the replacement transmitter (see below). u Transmitter interaction is possible. While not likely, a hardware failure in one transmitter could compromise the integrity of the shared RS-485 link causing a loss of flow signals for all meter runs. Calibrating a transmitter via a laptop computer requires the wiring to be disturbed, care must be taken not to disconnect other transmitters in the same multi-drop loop.
TB-980501 21/25.72+ & 23/27.72+
TB-980501

u RS-485 termination requirements more complex. RS-485 transmission wires must have only one beginning and one end (they cannot be used in a star configuration). Both ends of the wire must be terminated, meaning only two devices in the loop need terminating. In a point-to-point configuration, this simply means both the flow computer and transmitter are terminated. In a multi-drop configuration, the user must ensure that only the end devices have the termination jumpers in. This means that some transmitters may have the terminating jumpers in while others may have them out. Remember that the Omni may or may not be at the end of the wire so it may or may not be one of the terminated devices. u Process variable update time may exceed the flow computers 500 msec cycle time. Critical measurement or control systems require that the process variables be input to the flow computer as fast as possible for best performance.

Setting the Address of the SV Combo Module

The flow computer can accept up to two SV Combo modules, each with a unique address determined by the BRD SEL jumper shown in Figure 1. With no jumper fitted the flow computer will report that a SV1 module is installed and SV ports 1 and 2 will be available. With a jumper installed in the BRD SEL position the flow computer will report that a SV2 module is installed and SV ports 3 and 4 will be available. Note that a system can have a SV2 module without a SV1 being installed, in this case only SV ports 3 and 4 would be available.
Setting the Termination Jumpers for the Each of the SV RS-485 Ports
Multivariable RS-485 communication circuits must have two ends only, a star configuration with more than two ends or a loop configuration with no ends is not allowed. The devices at both ends of the circuit must be jumpered to provide termination.

3095FB Transmitter RS-485 Connections

Two terminals are provided marked A and B, these are connected to the A and B terminals of other multi-dropped 3095FBs and to the Omni SV Combo module terminals. These connections should be made using twisted pair unshielded wire with a minimum gauge dependent upon the distance to be run. Use 22 AWG minimum, 18 AWG maximum for runs less than 1000 ft. Use 20 AWG minimum, 18 AWG maximum for runs of 1000 to 4000 ft. Shielded twisted pair cable can be used but may have an attenuating effect due to a higher capacitance per foot thereby limiting the maximum wire run length to less than 4000 ft.
3095FB Transmitter Power Connections and Requirements

Terminals marked + and - are provided to connect the 3095FB to a 7.5 VDC. to 24 VDC. power supply. This power supply must be able to provide 10 mA per installed 3095FB plus an additional 100 mA which is needed when any 3095FB in the system is transmitting data to the flow computer. Ripple on this power supply must be less than 2%. Wiring gauge should be selected as per the previous paragraph and can be unshielded un-twisted pair, but for best performance should be shielded and twisted.

Isolation and Transient Protection Issues

The design of the 3095FB transmitter does not provide any DC isolation between the power connections and the RS-485 connections. Applying voltages between the power wiring and RS-485 wiring greater than the allowable common mode voltage of a RS-485 driver circuit could damage the 3095FB. The Omni flow computer SV port is optically isolated and can handle common mode voltages of +/- 250 VDC with respect to chassis ground. Inductive base transient protectors including the Rosemount Model 470, can adversely affect the output of the 3095FB. Do not use the Model 470 for transient protection with the 3095FB. If transient protection is desired, install the optional Transient Protection Terminal Block described in Appendix B of the Rosemount 3095FB Manual (pub. 00809-0100-4738).
Wiring Considerations When Replacing a Multi-dropped 3095FB Transmitter

If downtime of other 3095FB transmitters in a multi-dropped system cannot be tolerated, make sure to provide a suitable and safe means of disconnecting power and signal from each individual 3095FB transmitter. Because of the power requirements of the RS-485 the 3095FB cannot be made intrinsically safe. This means that proper safety procedures must be followed before any covers are removed from any devices or junction boxes located in hazardous areas. Refer to Rosemount 3095FB Manual (publication 00809-0100-4738) for correct installation of the 3095FB transmitter.

Configuring the Omni Flow Computer to use the 3095FB Multi Variable Transmitter
Configuring the Meter Run I/O
Selecting the Device Type
The existing Select Turbine Y/N entry in the Config Meter Run menu has been changed to Select Device Type. Valid selections at this point are: 0 1 2 3 = = = = DP Sensor Turbine Meter 3095FB Multivariable SMV 3000 Multivariable
When 2 is selected above the following entries appear:
Selecting the SV Combo Module Port

The number of ports available depends upon what SV Combo Modules are fitted in the flow computer. Ports 1 and 2 are available when SV Combo Module #1 is fitted, ports 3 and 4 when SV Combo Module #2 is present. It is possible to have SV ports 3 and 4 without SV ports 1 and 2 assuming SV Combo Module #2 is the only SV module fitted.
Select Modbus Address for 3095FB

In point-to-point mode (i.e., each SV port is connected to a single 3095FB) it is recommended that you select Modbus ID 1 at this point. This is the default ID used by Rosemount when the 3095 is shipped. In multi-drop mode each 3095FB connected to a SV port must have its own address which can be between 1 and 247.
What I/O Points are Used and Why

Even though the multivariable data is obtained serially and not via analog input channels, the flow computer must have a storage structure in RAM to place the data. Omni has chosen to treat the data as closely as possible to that obtained by conventional means and use the same physical I/O RAM structure as is used for analog inputs. The main difference being that with analog and pulse inputs you would manually assign the I/O points to be used for each input. When using the 3095FB multi variable, the flow computer automatically assigns three I/O point assignments for the DP, temperature and pressure sensors within the 3095FB. The I/O point numbers are allocated in the order that the 3095FBs are configured using the above three entries (it has nothing to do with SV port or SV module numbers). The starting I/O point for the first 3095FB configured is the first point immediately after the last I/O point used by any other A, B, E/D, E or H combo modules in the system (see examples on facing page).

I/O Points Used by SV Combo Modules - Example 2
Bi-directional Flow and 3095FB Transmitters

Sometimes it is necessary to use a process variable obtained from a 3095FB in more than one meter run. For example, When measuring bi-directional flow it is customary to configure one meter run within the Omni flow computer as forward flow and a second meter run as reverse flow. To do this, simply configure both meter runs as Device Type = 2 (3095FB Multi Variable), select the same SV port and Modbus ID, the Omni flow computer will recognize that both meter runs are using the same 3095FB device and allocate only one set of I/O assignments.
Referencing 3095FB Variables Elsewhere in the Configuration

While the DP, temperature and pressure obtained from the 3095FB multi variable are used to calculate flow, it may also be necessary to use either the temperature and/or the pressure to correct a densitometer device mounted in close proximity. To do this simply note the I/O point numbers automatically assigned to the 3095FB when it was configured and reuse these point numbers as needed.

DP, Pressure and Temperature Setup Entries Needed

Once I/O points have been assigned to the 3095FB multi variable transmitter by the flow computer the Differential Pressure, Temperature and Pressure setup menus become active. Data entries in these menus are: u u u u Low Alarm Setpoint High Alarm Setpoint Override Value Override Code
0 1 2 3 = = = = Never Use Override Value Always Use Override Value Use Override on a 3095FB Communication Failure or Critical Error Use Last Hours Average on a 3095FB Communication Failure or Critical Error
u 4mA Value (read only) u 20mA Value (read only) u Damping Code
0 1 2 3 4 = 0.108 Seconds5 = 3.456 Seconds = 0.216 Seconds6 = 6.912 Seconds = 0.432 Seconds7 = 13.824 Seconds = 0.864 Seconds (Default) 8 = 27.648 Seconds = 1.728 Seconds
All of these data entries are changeable when using analog transmitters but when using the 3095FB multi variable transmitter the 4mA and 20mA scaling values cannot be changed. The upper and lower range of the 3095FB sensors are fixed by design. The Omni flow computer simply reads these values and displays them in the 4mA and 20mA fields for information only. While the 3095FB transmitter has internal alarm setpoints and alarm status points, Omni has chosen to ignore the 3095FB integral alarming functions and use the existing flow computer alarm setpoints and alarm status points. The Low and High Alarm Setpoints of the flow computer therefore behave exactly as they would with an analog transmitter. The 3095FB Critical Alarm states are monitored continuously.
Data Transferred between the 3095FB Transmitter and the Omni Flow Computer
In operation the Omni flow computer automatically sets up the 3095FB transmitter to use the correct floating point format and units of measure needed to match the flow computers configuration. The Omni continuously reads the following data: u u u u u u Process Variables DP, Pressure and Temperature Individual Transmitter Sensor Ranges Critical Transmitter Alarms (Sensor failures etc) Transmitter Information (Body and Fill material etc) Manufacturers Code Transmitter Tags

TB-980501
Polling Intervals for Process Variables and Critical Alarms

The message poll scheme comprises regular reads of the process variable values and critical alarms every 200msec per 3095FB connected to a flow computer SV port. This means that in a multi-drop system with four transmitters the process variable update time will be 4 x 200msec or 800msec.

Synchronizing the 3095FB and the Flow Computer Configurations

To ensure that the flow computer correctly interprets the 3095FB data, the flow computer continuously verifies that the configuration of the 3095FB transmitter matches that required by the flow computer. Additional message polls verifying this data are interleaved with the normal message polls used to retrieve the process variables and alarms.
Notes: Numbers in ( ) are Modbus addresses within the 3095FB database
Critical 3095FB configuration data which is checked every 10 seconds are: u u u u u u u Floating Point Number Format ** (0132) Measurement Engineering Units of Measure ** (0060 - 0062) Minimum and Maximum Ranges of each Signal * (7407 - 7416) Transmitter Identification (Information Only) (0001 - 0011) Damping Factors ** (7421, 7424, 7427) Transmitter ASCII Tags (3x8 characters) ** (0032 - 0047) Transmitter Information (Materials of Construction) (0017 - 0029)

The flow computer will attempt to correct the database of the 3095FB transmitter if miss matches are detected for these variables.
The flow computer will adjust its database to agree with the 3095FB database if miss matches are detected for these variables.
Viewing the 3095FB Data at the Flow Computer Front Panel

Technical Bulletin
Using the Omni Flow Computer to Set the Modbus Address of the 3095FB
The 3095FB transmitter will normally be shipped with a default Modbus address of 1. While this is fine for a point to point installation, it will cause a problem if two or more devices have the same Modbus ID in a multi-drop scheme. The Modbus ID of a transmitter can be set using the Configurator User Interface PC Software available from Rosemount. It is anticipated though that some situations may arise where a 3095FB transmitter must be installed or replaced without this software being available. In this case the Omni flow computer can be connected to a 3095FB in the point to point mode using any available SV port and the Modbus ID changed to what is required in the flow computer configuration.
CAUTION!
Proceed as follows: 1. Setup the 3095FB as described previously in the section titled Initial Setup of the Rosemount 3095FB Multi Variable Transmitter. 2. Setup the 3095FB to be RS-485 terminated. 3. Connect the transmitter to any open SV port (terminal A to A, B to B). The SV port should be jumpered for RS-485 termination. If this SV channel is not an open channel, all 3095FB transmitters except the one needing the address change must be disconnected. 4. Apply power to the 3095FB transmitter. 5. At the flow computer front panel press the following keys:
[Alpha Shift] [Diag] [Setup] [n] [Enter]
This procedure involves broadcast transmitting a Modbus address out of a SV port. All devices connected to this SV port will have their Modbus address set to the ID broadcast. This would cause data collisions and a complete loss of communication when more than one 3095FB transmitter is connected. Be sure to temporarily disconnect any 3095FB transmitters which addresses you do not want to change.
The computer will enter the Diagnostic mode. Where n is the SV port number that the 3095FB is connected to.
6. The following warning screen may display ( SV port 1 is used as an example) or the screen in (7) below will display.
6 (7# 1 ) 1#- . 89 1# 3:54;
This means that the flow computer has detected that this SV port is currently configured to communicate with one or more transmitters. You may or may not have selected the wrong SV port (see the cautions in sidebar).
7. If you wish to continue with the address broadcast operation enter Y and
the following screen will display.

8. Scroll down to New Address and enter the address required. Press Enter and the following message will display.
#- 5= <
9. The flow computer will wait a short time and then attempt to communicate with the 3095FB using the new address. If communications are established the following message will be displayed for a few seconds.
< 17-
The following message will display for a second or two should the transmission fail.
.# 17-
Should this message appear check your wiring, switch and jumper settings and repeat the procedure. 10. Disconnect and reinstall 3095FB to the appropriate SV port for normal operation making sure to observe the termination requirements of only two devices at the end of a loop being terminated.
Using a Laptop PC to Trim the 3095FB Calibration

The flow computer provides no way of calibrating or trimming the output of the 3095FB multi variable transmitter. To calibrate the transmitter use the Configurator User Interface PC Software available from Rosemount. The user must disconnect the 3095FB needing calibrating and connect it in point to point mode with the Laptop or PC running the Rosemount Interface Software. Remember to follow all correct safety procedures when removing transmitter covers or junction boxes. Read the manufactures warnings and recommendations as printed in the 3095FB manual. Be aware that when removing a transmitter from a multi-drop installation, wiring may be disturbed and disruption of the circuit may cause a loss of all measurement signals due to loss of power, signal or RS-485 termination.

RS-232-C / RS-485 Serial Port Jumper Options

Serial Port I/O Software Settings - Each serial port is configurable via OmniCom software or the Omni front panel. Detailed information on how to configure these and other flow computer settings is available in Volume 3, Chapter 2 of the User Manual and in OmniCom Help.
The RS-232-C/RS-485 serial port has been designed so that RS-232 or RS-485 communications standards can be selected by placement of 16-pin resistor networks into the correct blocks. The following diagrams show the locations of blocks JB1, JB2, JB3 for the first serial port (Model #68-6205-B only), and JB4, JB5, JB6 for the second serial port (Models #68-6205-A and #68-6205-B) for each format. Serial I/O Module #68-6205-A only has the RS-485 options available for the second serial port, and the first port is hard-wired to the RS-232C position and cannot be changed by the user.
