INPUT/OUTPUT: Assigning and Ranging Inputs

We will now configure your EPLUS Flow Computers inputs and outputs. The flow computer allows the user to configure the inputs and outputs.
The Multi Variable pressure and temperature can be used and the DP becomes a spare input that could be assigned for strainer differential. 1. Enter the high and low limits: high limits and low limits are simply the alarm points in which you would like the flow computer to flag as an alarm condition. Enter these values with respect to the upper and lower range conditions. Try to avoid creating alarm log when conditions are normal. For example: If the line condition for the pressure is between 0 to 500 PSIG. Then you should program less than zero for low-pressure alarm, and 500 or more for high-pressure alarm. 2. Set up the fail code: Maintenance and Failure Code values tell the flow computer to use a default value in the event the transmitter fails. The default value is stored in Maintenance. There are three outcomes: The transmitter value is always used, no matter what (Failure Code = 0); the Maintenance value is always used, no matter what (Failure Code = 1); and the Maintenance value is used only when the transmitters value indicates that the transmitter has temporarily failed (Failure Code = 2).

Multi-Variable Transmitters (Model 205) Temperature

RTD Calibration is a 2-step process. The first step is a one time procedure to verify transducer linearity and is done at the time the meter is being setup. The second step is the routine calibration sequence. Step 1 Linearity Verification 1. Use a Decade box with 0-150 F settings. 2. Connect RTD cable to this resistive element for verification of linearity. Verify low and high points. It must be within degree. 3. Connect the actual RTD element and compare with a certified thermometer. 4. If not within degree do a Full Calibration (See Full Calibration below). If problem persists verify other elements such as RTD Probe, connections, shield, conductivity of connectors, etc. The purpose of the above procedure is to verify zero and span and make sure that the two points fall within the expected tolerance. Step 2 Routine Calibration Once Linearity has been verified through Step 1, the routine calibration procedure is reduced to simply connecting the actual RTD and doing an offset point calibration (see offset calibration below). Calibration after that will be simple verification for the stability of the transmitter. If it drifts abnormally then you need to verify the other parts involved. Calibration Procedures through Windows Software At the top menu, go to Calibration and Select RTD Input. RESET TO DEFAULT CALIBRATION 1. Select Reset calibration method 2. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading OFFSET CALIBRATION: 1. Select offset calibration method. 2. Induce a live value and wait for 10 seconds for the reading to stabilize. Then enter the live value. The value entered must be in Degrees only. 3. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading FULL SCALE CALIBRATION: 1. Prepare low range resistive input (i.e., 80 Ohm.) and High range resistive input (i.e., 120. Ohm). 2. Go to the calibration menu and select RTD full calibration method. Induce the low end (80 Ohm.) resistive signal and then wait 10 seconds, enter the equivalent temperature in degrees, and click OK button. 3. Induce the High range signal (120 Ohm.) and wait 10 seconds, then enter the temperature degrees equivalent to 120 Ohm and click OK button. 4. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading.

Analog Input 4-20mA or 1-5 volt signal

Calibrations are performed under Calibration. Select inputs to be calibrated, and then select full, single, offset calibration method.
OFFSET CALIBRATION: For simple offset type calibration simply induce the signal into the analog input and make sure the EPLUS is reading it. After you verify that the EPLUS recognized the analog input, enter the correct mA reading, and then click OK. The offset type calibration is mainly used when a small offset adjustment needs to be changed in the full-scale reading. The offset will apply to the zero and span. Offset is the recommended method for calibrating the temperature input.
FULL CALIBRATION METHOD: To perform full calibration be prepared to induce zero and span type signal.
1. Induce the low-end signal i.e. 4mA in the analog input. 2.

RTD calibration:
RTD Calibration is a 2-step process. The first step is a one time procedure to verify transducer linearity and is done at the time the meter is being setup. The second step is the routine calibration sequence. Step 1 Linearity Verification 1- Use a Decade box with 0-150 F settings. 2- Connect RTD cable to this resistive element for verification of linearity. Verify low and high points. It must be within degree. 3- Connect the actual RTD element and compare with a certified thermometer. 4- If not within degree do a Full Calibration (See Full Calibration below). If problem persists verify other elements such as RTD Probe, connections, shield, conductivity of connectors, etc. The purpose of the above procedure is to verify zero and span and make sure that the two points fall within the expected tolerance. Step 2 Routine Calibration Once Linearity has been verified through Step 1, the routine calibration procedure is reduced to simply connecting the actual RTD and doing an offset point calibration (see offset calibration below). Calibration after that will be simple verification for the stability of the transmitter. If it drifts abnormally then you need to verify the other parts involved. Calibration Procedures through Windows Software At the top menu, go to Calibration and Select RTD Input. RESET TO DEFAULT CALIBRATION 1. Select Reset calibration method 2. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading OFFSET CALIBRATION: 1. Select offset calibration method. 2. Induce a live value and wait for 10 seconds for the reading to stabilize. Then enter the live value. The value entered must be in Ohm only. 3. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading FULL SCALE CALIBRATION: 1. Prepare low range resistive input (i.e., 80 Ohm.) and High range resistive input (i.e., 120. Ohm). 2. Go to the calibration menu and select RTD full calibration method. Induce the low end (80 Ohm.) resistive signal and then wait 10 seconds, enter live value in Ohm, and click OK button. 3. Induce the High range signal (120 Ohm.) and wait 10 seconds, then enter 120 Ohm and click OK button. 4. Now verify the live reading against the flow computer reading.

Switch Output Assignment

User can assign an output to each of the EPLUS Flow Computers output switches from this list. The EPLUS Flow Computer switch outputs are open collector type, requiring external D.C power applied to the SW power. Outputs in the top list, Pulse Outputs, require a definition of pulse output per unit volume and Pulse Output Width. Outputs in the bottom list, Contact Type Outputs, are ON/OFF type outputs
Pulse Output and Pulse Output Width

Pulse Output is used to activate a sampler or external totalizer. The number selected will be pulses per unit volume or per unit mass. If 0.1 pulse is selected, the one pulse will be given every 10 unit volumes has passed through the meter. Pulse Output Width is the duration, in milliseconds, of one complete pulse cycle (where each cycle is the pulse plus a wait period, in a 50/50 ratio). For example: if POW = 500 msec, the EPLUS Flow Computer at most can produce one pulse each second regardless of the pulse per unit volume selected (500 msec pulse + 500 msec wait). If POW = 10 msec the EPLUS Flow Computer can produce up to 50 pulses per second. The EPLUS Flow Computers maximum pulse output is 125 pulses/sec. The Pulse Output in combination with the Pulse Output Width should be set appropriately.

Graphical Screen
The screen displays up to 2 trends. The first trend is represented by a thick line while the second trend is shown as a thin line. The graphical screen has a resolution of 120 by 50 dots. The trend shows either hourly values or daily values. For hourly values, every 4 points in the X axis is equivalent to 1 hour, thus the screens shows the last 30 hours and there is a reference mark every 3 hours on the horizontal axis. For daily values, every 24 points in the X axis is equivalent to 1 day, thus the screen shows the last 5 days; each reference mark on the horizontal axis equals half a day. For the Y axis scaling the flow computer uses the maximum values enter by the user in the display configuration and scales them to 60 dots resolution. Each reference mark on the vertical axis equal 1/10 of the full scale. The top of the screen shows the variables being plot, the maximum scale value for each variable, the type of value (daily or hourly, average, maximum, or minimum), and the current date. See image below.

Example:
Lets identify the red marked area: 1. It is the second variable because it is drawn with a thin line, therefore it represents meter pressure. 2. The maximum vertical value for pressure is 300, there are 10 spaces on the vertical axis so each vertical mark equates to 30 PSI (300 divided by 10). 3. The trend shows the Hourly Pressure average so every horizontal line equates to 3 hours. (If it was daily, each line represents half a day) 4. We can conclude that there was a pressure drop about 7 hours ago and it dropped to 60 PSI.

PID PARAMETERS
PID Configuration
(PID) Proportional Integral Derivative control We call this function PID, however the flow computer performs Proportional Integral control. And does not apply the Derivative. The Derivative is not normally used in flow and pressure control operations and complicates the tuning operation
Use Flow Loop

(Valid entries are 0 or 1) Enter 1 if the computer performs flow control. Enter 0 if the flow computer does not perform flow control.
Flow Loop Maximum Flow rate

Enter the maximum flow rate for this meter. This rate will be basis for maximum flow rate to control at.
Flow Set Point

Enter the set point. The set point is the flow rate that the flow computer will try to control at.
Flow Acting forward or reverse

Enter 0 if the control is direct acting, Enter 1 if the control is reverse acting. Direct acting is when the output of the controller causes the flow rate to follow in the same direction. The output goes up and the flow rate increases. A fail Close valve located in line with the meter will typically be direct acting. If the Controller output signal increases, the control valve will open more causing the flow rate to increase. Reverse acting is when the output of the controller causes the opposite action in the flow rate. A fail open valve in line with the meter will typically be reverse acting. If the Controller output increases the control valve will close some causing the flow rate to decrease. Care must be taken to study where the valves are located in relation to the meter and whether the valves are fail open or fail close to understand if the controller should be direct or reverse acting. Some control valves can be fail in position (especially Electrically actuated control valves). This valve should be studied to understand if the actuators themselves are direct or reverse acting.

Pressure Maximum
Enter the Maximum pressure for this meter. This pressure will be basis for Maximum pressure to control at.
Pressure Set Point

Enter the set point. The set point is the pressure that the flow computer will try to control at.
Pressure Acting forward or reverse

Enter 0 if the control is direct acting, Enter 1 if the control is reverse acting. Direct acting is when the output of the controller causes the pressure to follow in the same direction. The output goes up and the pressure increases. A fail open valve located in the line down stream of the meter will typically be direct acting to maintain the pressure at the meter. An Increase in the output from the controller will cause the control valve to close thus causing the pressure to increase. Reverse acting is when the output of the controller causes the opposite action in the flow rate. A fail close valve in the line down stream of the meter will typically be reverse acting to maintain the pressure at the meter. An increase in the output signal will cause the valve to open, which will cause the pressure to be released thus causing the pressure to decrease. Care must be taken to study where the valves are located in relation to the meter and whether the valves are fail open or fail close to understand if the controller should be direct or reverse acting. Some control valves can be fail in position (especially Electrically actuated control valves). These valves should be studied to understand if the actuators themselves are direct or reverse acting.

PID Tuning Flow Controller Gain

(Allowable Entries 0.0 9.99) The gain is effectively 1/Proportional Band. The basis of theory for proportional band is the relationship of the percentage of the output of the controller to the percentage of the change of the process. In this case, if the control output changes 5% the flow rate should change 5%, the proportional band would be 1.0 and the gain would be 1.0. If the percentage of the output is 5% and the flow rate would change by 10%, the proportional band would be 2 and the Gain would be 0.5 However since you do not know until you are flowing the effect of the output on the flow rate, you have to start somewhere. A good starting point is to use a proportional band of 0.5 if the valve is properly sized.
Flow Controller Reset

(Allowable Range 0.0 9.99) Reset is the number of minutes per repeat is the time interval controller adjusts the output to the final control element. If the reset is set at 2, the flow computer will adjust the signal to the flow control valve every 2 minutes. If the Reset is set at 0.3, the output signal will be adjusted approximately every 20 seconds, until the process and set point are the same. The rule of thumb is the reset per minute should be set slightly slower that the amount of time it takes for the control valve and the flow rate to react to the flow computer output signal changing. This can only be determined when there is actual flow under normal conditions. It is best to start the reset at 0.3 or reset the signal every 3 minutes, if the control valve is properly sized.
Pressure Controller Gain

(Allowable Entries 0.0 9.99) The gain is effectively 1/Proportional Band. The basis of theory for proportional band is the relationship of the percentage of the output of the controller to the percentage of the change of the process. In this case, if the control output changes 5% the pressure should change 5%, the proportional band would be 1.0 and the gain would be 1.0. If the percentage change of the output is 5% and the pressure would change by 10%, the proportional band would be 2 and the Gain would be 0.5. However since you do not know until you are flowing the effect of the output on the pressure, you have to start somewhere. A good starting point is to use a proportional band of 0.5 if the control element is properly sized.
Pressure Controller Reset

(Allowable Range 0.0 9.99) Reset is the number of times per minute the controller adjusts the output to the control valve. If the reset is set at 2, the flow computer will adjust the signal to the final control element every 2 minutes. If the Reset is set at 0.3, the output signal will be adjusted approximately every 20 seconds, until the process and the set point are the same. The rule of thumb is the reset per minute should be set slightly slower that the amount of time it takes for the control valve and the pressure to react to the flow computer changing the output.

PLUNGER LIFT CONTROL
The flow computer uses simple time based plunger control logic. Any digital input can be used for plunger arrival detection while up to two digital outputs can be used for valve control (the outputs can be configured as Open Valve High signal or Close Valve High signal).
The control is based on 4 different timers or cycles: ON Cycle: valve is opened and the controller waits for the plunger to arrive. Delay Cycle: after plunger arrival the valve in kept open to allow flow. OFF Cycle: the valve is closed and the plunger returns to the bottom position and pressure builds up. Mandatory Shut Down Cycle: when the plunger does not arrive within the ON cycle the controller closes the valve and wait for this timer until starting a new cycle. This cycle is normally longer that the OFF cycle in order to allow for a bigger pressure built up so the plunger arrives within the ON cycle on the next attempt.
Note: Cycle times are specified in minutes & seconds. There are two possible scenarios for the plunger lift, a successful scenario where the plunger reaches the detector switch during the ON cycle and an unsuccessful scenario when it does not reach the detector and a shut down cycle must be done.
Scenario 1: Successful Cycle
Figure 1. Successful Cycle Once the valve is open the plunger starts rising and reaches the arrival sensor before the ON cycle has expired, the controller then keeps the valve open for a period of time given by the delay cycle. Once the delay timer expires the valve is closed and the OFF cycle starts after which the complete cycle starts over. (See Figure 1)

EPLUS Manual
Data Entry 2-43
Scenario 2: Unsuccessful Cycle
Figure 2. Unsuccessful Cycle If the plunger does not arrive within the ON cycle time the controller automatically closes the valve and keeps it closed for the duration of the Shut Down timer, after that, the complete cycle starts over. (See Figure 2) Additional Features: In addition to the controller functions described above, the flow computer provide other options as follow:
Well Synchronization: This feature limits the duration of the complete cycle regardless of the plunger travel time. For example, if the user sets the complete cycle time to be 2 hours, the controller will make the OFF cycle longer or shorter in order to make the complete cycle 2 hours long.
Arrival Sensor ON/OFF: By disabling the arrival sensor, the user can utilize the plunger lift control as a simple time based valve controller where only the ON cycle and the Shut Down cycle are necessary. Auto ON/OFF: User can turn ON/OFF the Controller either manually or by entering how many minutes the controller will be ON and how many minutes OFF. Once the controller is enabled manually it will go to the ON mode and then the OFF mode. Early Arrival Protection: In order to prevent well head damage from excessive plunger speed the controller compares plunger travel time with a minimum travel time, if the plunger arrives faster that the minimum for more that a user defined consecutive number of times the controller closes the valve and halts until operator resets the controller.
Plunger Controller Statistics: The controller will calculate and display certain values that might be helpful for start up, tuning and maintenance, the parameters shown are:
Number of complete cycles: Attempts both successful and unsuccessful. Number of Successful & Unsuccessful Attempts: how many times the plunger arrives. Number of Early Arrivals: number of times plunger arrives before minimum time. Total Open Time: cumulative counter that can be reset by user and shows how long has the valve being open. Plunger travel time: time since the valve is open until the plunger arrives. Last 20 times plus average time.

GET DATA
THAT HAS NOT BEEN COLLECTED
By checking this option the application will collect all the information available in the EPLUS flow computer that has not been previously retrieved. For example, the information in the meter was collected 2 weeks ago, now we want to collect all the data for the last two weeks, it is only necessary to specify which information we want (audit, alarm, hourly, etc.), and then check the data not collected option, there is no need to specify the number of days or records that we want. Once the information is retrieved it will remain in the flow computer but it will now be flagged as already collected.
REPORT NAME The reports generated by Dynacom Software are extension DFM. The name can have any combination of letters and numbers.

SCHEDULED AUTO POLLING

Automatic Data Polling Use the Historical Data|Scheduled Auto Polling to retrieve report information from devices in a periodic basis automatically. These are the following settings: Enable Automatic Data Retrieval: Check this option to enable the automatic polling. If the automatic polling function is enabled an AUTOPOLL message will appear on the applications status bar (bottomright corner of the application window). Reports to Retrieve: check the reports you want to get from the devices, you can select as many as you want, just make sure the polling interval is long enough to allow the PC to retrieve the archive. For example, if the computer is programmed to poll 100 reports every 10 seconds, there will not be enough time to get the report before the next poll starts and data will be overlapped. Report Name: provide a name to the reports captured so they will be available for viewing, printing and exporting. Starting Day: Type the date where the poll is going to start. Select Every Day is the date doesnt matter. Polling Time: select the time you want the automatic polling to start, then select Poll One Time if you want to execute these poll only once or select Poll Every and type the polling interval for periodic polls. For example, to poll every hour and a half select Poll Every and type 90 in the Minutes field. IMPORTANT: Do not use straight hours as starting time (i.e. 7:00, 8:00). The flow computer calculates and updates its information at the beginning of the hour so if data is retrieved at this time it might be erroneous. Allow about 5 minutes for the flow computer to update the data. Polling List: Add all the units you want to get data from on every poll. You can add up to 100 units. To add a unit just click Add and then type the units Modbus ID number. NOTE: The file C:\AutoPoll.log will contain all the logs for the automatic poll, it will tell if there was a problem or if the data was retrieved successfully.

FUNCTION CODE
To inform the slave device of what function to perform FUNCTION CODE ACTION 01 03 Read Strings or Multiple 16 Bits 16 Write Strings or Multiple 16 Bits
ERROR CHECK
LR C MOD E The LRC check is transmitted as two ASCII hexadecimal characters. First, the message has to be stripped of the: LF, CR, and then converted the HEX ASCII to Binary. Add the Binary bits and then two's complement the result. CRC MODE The entire message is considered in the CRC mode. Most significant bit is transmitted first. The message is pre-multiplied by 16. The integer quotient digits are ignored and the 16-bit remainder is appended to the message as the two CRC check bytes. The resulting message including the CRC, when divided by the same polynomial (X16+X15+X2+1) at the receiver, which will give zero remainder if no error, has occurred.
EXCEPTION RESPONSE
Exception response comes from the slave if it finds errors in communication. The slave responds to the master echoing the slave address, function code (with high bit set), exception code and error check. To indicate that the response is notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to 1.

The two event log record formats are both the same size and have similar contents. The first word in a record is a bit map in which bit 9 indicate if the event record is an operator change or an alarm event. The meanings of the other bits are specific to either the operator or alarm event log records.
OPERATOR EVENT RECORD
The operator event record consists of the following:

BYTE 1-2 CONTENTS
3-4 5-8 9-12 13-16 17-20
Operator change bit map (16 bit integer) Modbus register number of variable (16 bit integer) Time stamp (HHMMSS; 32 bit floating point) Date stamp (MMDDYY; 32 bit floating point) Previous value of variable (32 bit floating point) Current (new) value of variable (32 bit floating point)

Reading Event/Alarm Register
The Modbus request to read the event log uses the standard read function code 03 and the register number 32 (20 Hex). After receipt of the acknowledge packet, the EPLUS will reset its event pointer to the next packet of events. After an event pointer has been reset, the master can not go back and collect the previous events. This process is repeated until the EPLUS event buffer is empty of all events that occurred since last collection. 7100= Event/Alarm Pointer

Example Modbus Alarm/Event Log Data Collection To request the EPLUS events a modbus read is used for register 32 and the number of data points is usually set to 1. The number of data points requested is ignored by the EPLUS. The EPLUS response will contain from zero to as many events as can be sent within a modbus message. If no events have occurred since the last event collection, the response message will contain zero data bytes. Eighty 80 is added to the data value to convert the EPLUS event log dates to the current year.

After the master has correctly received these events, a reset message is transmitted to the EPLUS to clear these events from the Modbus event buffer. Since less then the maximum number of events (12) were received, no additional events remain within the modbus event buffer. If the master sent an additional read message after these events were cleared from the event buffer, the EPLUS response message would contain zero data bytes. This would also indicate to the master that the event modbus event buffer has been cleared.
