Annubar, and Verabar Meter. Additionally, it can perform density calculations per these standard
procedures: AGA8, other tables are added constantly, call our main office for current software
One Rosemount multi-variable digital transducers is connected to each EPLUS flow computer for
temperature, pressure (up to 3626 PSIG), and DP (up to 830 inches H 2O).
The EPLUS flow Computer has a host of inputs and outputs beyond the built in Rosemount Multi Variable
transmitter.
Two turbine inputs. (Greater than 3 volts).
One analog output 16 bits.
One RS232/RS485
Optional additional RS232
Four status inputs and two digital outputs can be configured.
Three analog inputs or One analog input and one RTD input.
Graphic screen: 128 x 64.
Additionally, each EPLUS Flow Computer can store up to 64 days of hourly and daily data. Optional
expandable memory (Virtual Hard Drive) up to 132 Megs, combined with our customized data storage
allows almost any type data logging task to become possible.
Note: Flow equations used are continuously upgraded and new equations are added.

What is an Image File?

An image file is a EPROM code for a certain purpose (liquid, gas etc.) The image
file is only done when an application upgrade is needed.
When an image file is downloaded to the flow computer, all the information in
the computer is lost (configuration and historical data), so make sure to retrieve
all the important information before changing the image file.
How to download an Image File
Download an image file through Main RS-232 port only.
To Download an Image File to the Flow Computer select the Tools |

Download Program option form the main menu.
Warning messages will remind you that this action will erase ALL the
information in the flow computer.
A small dialog will appear asking for the file name of the image file (Image
file have the extension .img). Type it in or use the

The main serial port can be configured to RS-232 or RS-485. RS-232 is the default
value.
WARNING: When the RS-232 terminal is used with a modem, external protection on the phone line is
required. Jumper DTR to DSR, RTS to CTS, and disable software handshake

RS-485 Connection:
The main serial port can be configured to RS-232 or RS-485. RS-232 is the default value.
For RS485/232 converter, Dynamic recommends B&B Electronics. We generally use Model
485D9TB which is a port power converter requiring only a 2-Wire connection. The
485D9TB Has a terminal block which makes the wiring more convenient and provides the
option of external 12V power for low power serial ports. Model 485SD9R can also be used
but it has a DB9 terminal which requires additional cables. With Model 485SD9R the pins
that connect to the flow computer are pin 3 on the DB9 to TX on the flow computer and
pin 8 on the DB9 goes to RX on the flow computer.
For a USB to RS485 converter we recommend Model USTL4 which is also port powered
and supports half and full duplex networks
Note: RS-485 Twisted shielded cable is required. The maximum distance when
18-gauge wire is used is 4000 feet.
WARNING: When the RS-485 terminal is used, external transient protection and optical
isolation is required, especially for long distance wiring.

Multi-Variable Transmitters (Model 205) Temperature

RTD Calibration is a 2-step process. The first step is an 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.

Switch Output Assignment
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

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 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.

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)
Date: 10/18/2012
EPLUS Manual
Data Entry 2-49
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.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Enabling Daylight Saving Time (also called Summer Time) sets the Flow Computer to automatically
forward its time by one hour at 2:00 AM on a preset day (Spring Forward) of the year and roll back on a
second date(Fall Back).
If left in auto mode, the computer calculates the DST dates based on USA standards, which are, Spring
Forward the first Sunday of April and Fall Back the last Sunday of October.
For countries with other DST dates, the user can enter dates manually. For example, European Summer
Time starts the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October.
Effects of DST on Historical Data
Given the sudden time change that DST creates, the historical reports will show an hour with zero flow at
2:00 AM of Spring Forward Day and an hour with double flow at 1:00 AM of Fall Back Day, to achieve
consistent 24-Hour a day flow records.

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.

Automatic Data Polling
Use the Historical Reports|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
application's status bar (bottom-right 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 unit's 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.

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.
CR C MO D E
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

Hourly and Daily archive flow data 701, 703, 704 are fixed length arrays. The data
field is used to address an individual record
One modbus register (7098 -floating point) is used to indicate the current daily record
pointer numbers. This pointer identifies the current record which data was last logged. The
EPLUS can store up to 64 days data. The daily pointer will be 1 through 64. The pointer
will roll over at 64 to 1.

Modbus Data 4-72
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.

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.

Appendix A: Radio Board Manual
Introduction
Our Radio Interface board with battery charger was designed after careful listening to our customers in all
sectors of the oil and gas industry. It was built to address the different wireless connection needs for
refineries, chemical plants, gas processing plants, offshore platforms, pipeline and transmission, remote gas
wells, and storage caverns. The focus has been to bring the different needs and requirements of these
specialized industries into one hardware platform and therefore reducing the spare parts requirements, the
training process, calibration, and overall cost of ownership. We believe this interface board, with all its
multiple wireless modules has delivered and met the design intentions.
The product combines the following features:
Simple and Reliable
Flexible and able to use either 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz, GSM, CDMA and WiFi Modules
Easy to understand and configure
Rugged and designed to industrial specifications
Economical to install and maintain
We hope that your experience with our products will be a simple pleasant experience, not intimidating in
any way.
The Radio interface board can handle three different socket modules.
A 900 MHz radio module for long distance radio links.
A 2.4 GHz radio module ideal for short range radio links.
A socket modem that can be either GSM or CDMA. Ideal to access remote locations using
existing cellular network infrastructure. The modem can be also WiFi which can take advantage of
existing wireless networks.
In addition the board provides power to external devices which allow the user to connect other radios. It
also has a shut down input to turn the radio On/Off to improve power management on top of the smart
battery charger included on the board to extend the life of the battery pack and take advantage of the power
coming from external supplies.

EPLUS Manual
Wiring of Shutdown Input
If the shutdown pin is not wired the radio is always ON.

Because the Radio board and the flow computer share the same electrical ground
only one wire is needed. In the event each device uses different power supplies
then the ground of both devices must be tied together.
The picture below shows an EChart flow computer using Switch Output 1 for
shutdown but any switch output can be used.
Remember to configure the switch output to manage the power on the radio
board.
Date: 10/18/2012
EPLUS Manual
Wiring of RTS/CTS Input
The CTS pin allows us to optimize power consumption of the radio module using
the RS-232 RTS Hardware handshake line.
For optimal power saving use the Shutdown pin shown above, for power radio
power saving only use the CTS option.
If the CTS pin (Pin 6) is not wired the radio is always ON.
Because the Radio board and the flow computer share the same electrical ground
only one wire is needed. In the event each device uses different power supplies
then the ground of both devices must be tied together.
The picture below shows an EChart flow computer as an example but any model
can be used.
Remember to configure the RTS line output to manage the power on the radio
board.

Wiring of Voltage Output

In the event none of the three radio modules fits the application, the interface
board can still be used to power an external radio and turn it ON/OFF via the shut
down pin.
Wire terminal 10 to the positive terminal on the external device.
Wire terminal 2 to the negative terminal on the external device.
Configure the jumper for the desired voltage output:

Explosion Proof External Antenna Conection

Since the radio in enclosed by an explosion proof metal housing using an internal antenna would yield a
very short range thus an external antenna is required. In order to fit an external antenna to an internal radio
an approved explosion proof connection must be made and that is the purpose of the explosion proof
coaxial coupler.
