FLOW METERING SUPERVISORY SYSTEM

The Alderley Metering Control System, HAWK, has been

designed to provide the highest level of information,
control and availability for fiscal measurement systems. By
combining this with simplicity of operation, due to a
familiar WindowsTM environment, HAWK provides the ideal
solution to meet any metering requirement.

tested protocols. This allows integration with both new and existing
field instrumentation and equipment with minimum disruption and
risk. Alderley has already interfaced to the following hardware:
DCS (Distributed Control System) from Honeywell, Foxboro,
Yokogawa
Gas Chromatographs from Emerson, Yokogawa, ABB
Connectivity with other systems or applications is easily achieved
through a number of standard options:
Modbus master / slave on either serial or Ethernet
DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
OPC (Object linking and embedding for Process Control)
ODBC server (Open Database Connectivity)
The latest system and process alarms are permanently displayed
on all screens, with other alarms being available from the dedicated
alarm screen. Alarms may also be printed and archived as required.
Process and operator events may be displayed, printed and / or
archived to allow a full audit trail of plant operations.
Hardcopy reports of process data are typically printed automatically
on a periodic basis. If required they can be stored for later retrieval.
Standard format reports are available and may be customised to
suit any special requirements. Real-time and historical trending is a
standard feature of the system. Selected process data is archived
to a local database and may be retrieved as required.

The system is built upon standard off-the-shelf products available

from multiple suppliers. The system will run on any PC or server
running under the WindowsTM operating system. Hawk provides an
overview of the entire metering system (and associated equipment)
via high-resolution graphical representations of the physical plant
and process data. By using proven industrial standards it is a fully
scalable package that can expand with site requirements.
Component redundancy is optionally available at all levels, allowing
redundant servers, flow computers, PLCs, I/O devices and networks.
Our systems can integrate with standard flow computers

Functionality incorporated within the base product is

implemented from proven templates in order to minimise the
need for custom software. However, flexibility is provided to allow
customisation should the need arise. Functionality is constantly
being added. The standard function library includes:
Flow scheduling
Proving
Sampling
Batching
DCS Communication
Reporting
Trending

manufactured by Alderley, Omni, Emerson and others.

The system can interface to hardware equipment using standard,
