Important Notes to the new MPU Module (FC2000-SP2134)

- New firmware files for downloading into the 16M Flash Memory of the M2000 will have
the suffix *.s20 (Note: Firmware files for downloading into older MPU Modules with 8M
Flash memory have always used the suffix *.s19)
- The reason behind this is the sector and boot sector sizes and positions are different
between the flash types. This means that the two file types *.s19 and *.s20 are not
interchangeable nor compatible.
- No attempt should be made to download *.s19 files into 16M Flash memory MPU
Modules. No attempt should be made either to download *.s20 files into 8M Flash
memory MPU Modules.
- If either is attempted then the result will be that the Module will have to be completely
reprogrammed from the start, which is only possible at the production facility.
- For this reason it is recommended that the Module types are clearly marked and that
downloading of software into flash memory is only carried out by trained personnel.
- Older software versions that were created as *.s19 files originally can be re-compiled as
*.s20 files and used in the 16M Modules. Each programme that is required to have this
done should be notified. Great care should be taken when both a *.s19 and *.s20 file of
the same programme version exist.
- All New Model 2000 Firmware Versions from V5.7 onwards will be created as *.s20 files
only, as they will not fit into the smaller sizes of the Flash memory.
- When downloading firmware files into the Flash memory of the M2000 old downloader
programmes such as DL2.exe etc. must not be used as they are not aware of the new
file format or flash memory size. Use the downloader that is supplied with the latest
versions of the Windows software (V1.5.1.2) which will identify the Module type and flash
memory size as part of the downloading process.
- Set up files , *.suf created by the older M2000 Windows software versions or *.M2000
files created by the newer version are not affected by these changes, files created on 8M
Flash memory machines can be saved on a PC and then loaded directly into a 16M
machine without any changes being required.
- The Model 2000 windows configuration software should be used to configure the data
logger memory assignment, as a help it will also indicate the available memory size for
each function.

2.1.2 Revised Input 2 Module (FC2000-SP2080)

The Input 2 Module (FC2000-SP2080) is a direct replacement for the (former) Input Module
(FC2000-SP2037). It offers the same functionalities as the former input Module and allows in
addition the connection of 4-wire (instead of 3-wire) PRT signals.

Input Module (FC2000-SP2037) Input 2 Module (FC2000-SP2080)

The Input 2 Module uses a micro-controller while the former Input Module used Programmable
Interface Controllers (PIC’s) to control the internal functions of the I/O Module. Therefore the
new Input 2 Module does not require any PIC firmware to be loaded before initial operation.
The next table declares the available link settings for the Input 2 Module and a typical
connection diagram for the 4-wire PRT signal. Remark: The Prover Output and the 4-wire PRT
input can not be used simultaneously (see Link No. 16) since they share a common terminal
connection pin (A13) at the input socket of the Input 2 Module. All I/O terminal pin connections
for the Input 2 Module can be found in the Instrument Instruction Manual.

2.1.3 Revised Power Supply Unit (FC2000-SP2038)

Power supply Unit (FC2000-SP2037)

The Power Supply Unit (PSU) (FC2000-SP2038) module is revised to allow the use of multiple
brands DC-DC converters (Ericsson, Traco or P-Duke). All versions have equal specifications
and are 100% compatible and exchangeable in all Model 2000 products. For that reason the
part number (FC2000-SP2038) of the PSU has not been altered.

2.2 Firmware & Software

2.2.1 Model 2000 Firmware Version LV5.911
Firmware version LV5.911 is the latest (standard) software version suitable for use in Model
2000 Flow Computers / Station Controllers.
Important Remarks:
LV5.911 firmware can only be used in combination with MPU Modules equipped with increased
Data & Flash Memory (FC2000-SP2134), see paragraph 2.1.1.
Since the LV5.911 firmware file is in *.s20 format please use the latest downloader (as provided
in Windows configuration software V1.5.1.2), see also paragraph 2.1.1 & 2.2.2
New added features in LV5.911 will support:
- Input Modules (FC2000-SP2037) and/or Input 2 Modules (FC2000-SP2080)
- Network 2 Modules (FC2000-SP2088) (Firmware version Network3200 V5.e is required)
- Data storage on MPU Modules with Increased (16M) Data Memory (this is also indicated
by the letter “L” in the firmware version number)
- Status I/P’s to be assigned to ModBus registers for reading into Model 2000 Station
Controllers.
- Assignment of 4-20 mA input signals for gas data to all available streams
- Flow rate indication per minute (in addition to flow rates per second, hour and day)
- New gas chromatograph Elster – Instromet, type ENCAL 3000, using either RS232/485
data communication ports with ModBus protocol or Ethernet ports with ModBus over
TCP/IP protocols. In both cases the Model 2000 is Master.

Chromat Type: Select ENCAL 3000

Chromat ID: Match with ENCAL 3000 ID number (default 1)
Chromat Time: Read ENCAL 3000 interval time: continuous (default), or selectable 1, 2,
5, 10, 15, 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Chromat Status: Used = Read the ENCAL 3000 Status, Ignore = ENCAL 3000 status
disabled.
Recoverable Alarm Delay: Suppress recoverable alarms from ENCAL 3000 for
programmed delay time (300 seconds is default). Sometimes the ENCAL is adjusting
helium pressure or oven temperature which could cause alarming. Programming a delay
time would suppress these alarms for the programmed time.
Ready Alarm Delay: Similar to recoverable alarm delays this parameter would suppress
a not ready state alarm for the programmed delay time.
Calibration Alarm delay: The MODEL 2000 can verify and alarm if the ENCAL 3000
performed a new calibration within the time interval as programmed. When programmed
to zero (0) the calibration intervals will not be checked nor alarmed.
Analysis Timeout: Communication alarm will be flagged if analysis results are not
received within the number of retries programmed.
Write time to ENCAL: Optional clock synchronization (Model 2000 to ENCAL 3000)

The Encal 3000 gas chromatograph has a fully configurable ModBus table. This allows
users the option of adding and removing components as they wish. For this reason the
order that the components appear within the Encal 3000 must be entered into the Model
2000 using the "Encal Component Codes" tab. Component 1 corresponds to the address
7#00 within the Encal 3000, where # is 0 for Stream 1, # is 2 for Stream 2, # is 3 for
Stream 3, etcetera.
A standard setup file for the ENCAL 3000 is available at Elster-Instromet B.V. in Silvolde
which will automatically match the components codes used in the ENCAL 3000 to the
(default) component codes in the Model 2000.

GC alarming is free programmable in both products ENCAL 3000 and the Model 2000
Flow Computer.

In the ENCAL3000 the ModBus register 7024, 7224, 7324, 7424 and 7524 contain 32
bits of GC stream alarm data (see table next page). ModBus register 7624 is always
used for calibration status information.

In the Model 2000 the user can select for each alarm bit (when ticked) an accountable or
non-accountable alarm to be activated when set. When an Alarm box (Bit x) is not ticked
the alarm is disabled and will not be flagged. Remark: For the time being only the alarm
Bit 1 will be functional as general GC alarm, this has to do with an upcoming ENCAL
3000 software change to allow all bits to be activated individually. If this functionality is
available we will inform you!

- Serial input signals from Encoders or Smart Indexes

See technical note “TN11415” for typical Ex-i Encoder connections & signals. The Model
2000 can be configured to receive a serial input signal from the former Instromet SMART
Index or from an Elster-Instromet Encoder for Turbine meters. The input uses one of the
serial communication ports configured for that purpose using the NAMUR serial
communication protocol. The Model 2000 will only display the information as received, it
does not use the information in any flow calculations or comparisons. However the
information is available for the data loggers or ModBus set-up. The Model 2000 will read
and display the following Parameters (Commands a and b) from the attached device:-

For more detailed information related to the set-up and configuration of the Instromet
SMART Index, or the Elster-Instromet Encoder see the operating instruction manuals for
those devices.

- 3-Stream Automated Lubrication Control for Turbine Meters, with delayed alarming

The Model 2000 has a lubrication control module that enables attached turbine meters
to be automatically lubricated. The Automatic Lubrication System requires a number of
electrical controls:

1 Lubrication output control

1 Oil level switch input control
1 Piston displacement switch input control
1 Vent switch input control

For connections and further information see the Manual of the Automated Lubrication
System (Manual1decemberALS.pdf)

There are three alarms associated with the lubrication module:

· Piston displacement alarming
· Lubrication oil level alarming
· Lubrication Vent alarming
All three alarms are logical inputs (with the exception of the piston displacement
alarming with can possibly be a counter input), and are optional.

Piston displacement alarming

The lubrication system provides a feedback signal when lubrication oil is displaced. The
lubrication oil displacement will lift a floating support at each stroke of the lubrication
piston. Lifting this floating support is detected by a reed-switch sensor assembly inside
the lubrication system (one pulse at each piston stroke). If there is no lubrication oil in
the system or the piston operation fails the reed-switch will not be activated. The Model
2000 can compare the number of output pulses with the number of pulses received from
the displacement reed-switch sensor. A Piston displacement alarm can be activated
(and optionally be latched) at a programmable limit if this comparison fails.

Lubrication oil level alarming

The oil reservoir of the lubrication system is equipped with a level switch. At a defined
minimum level the switch will be activated. The Model 2000 can signal (and optionally
latch) a Lubrication Oil Level Alarm when this minimum level switch is activated.

Lubrication vent alarming

The lubrication system requires a pressure regulator to control (and limit) the pressure
used for the lubrication piston. If the pressure regulator fails a maximum pressure safety
release valve will be operated and the control pressure will be vented to atmospheric. In
the output of the safety release valve a floating magnet reed-switch sensor will be
operated at sufficient (vent) flow rates. The Model 2000 can signal (and optionally latch)
a Lubrication Vent Alarm if the pressure safety release valve is activated. This alarm can
be delayed to activate only if the reed-switch sensor is operated for X consecutive
seconds.

- AGA-10 VoS Comparison.

The Model 2000 can verify the velocity of sound measurement made by an ultrasonic
meter against the velocity of sound calculated according to AGA10. This feature can be
enabled by selecting the “Calculate VoS according to AGA10” option on the
Compressibility Equation page. Please be aware that AGA10 requires the AGA8
calculation, this will be run automatically enabling a different calculation method to be
configured for compressibility used in flow calculation. All that’s required is the full gas
composition from a live GC connected. Please configure also the default (keypad)
composition values under the “Gas Data” tab, which will optionally be used in case the
GC is in alarm.

The user can configure VoS alarming in the Ultrasonic Meter page. Both VoS
accountable and VoS non-accountable alarm deviation limits and times can be
programmed. If no deviation limits are programmed VoS alarming is disabled.

When the user requires to display the calculated VoS (and other AGA10 calculated
parameters) they can be configured as display parameters under the item “Display
Pages”. The above screen gives a sample where to find the AGA calculated data in the
three of available display data items (Active Data, Stream 1, Equation, AGA10 etc.)
Remark: Since the calculated VoS is partly derived from the (live) gas composition data
(provided by any connected GC) it should be noticed that a delay in data transfer is likely
to occur, caused by the sample- and analysis time of the connected GC. It is therefore
advised to use sensible alarm deviation limits for VoS alarming.

- NTP time synchronization

NTP (Network Time Protocol) time synchronization can be used when the Model 2000 is
connected in a network configuration with a NTP Time Server.

The Model 2000 can be synchronized with up to 3 NTP servers. If more than 1 server is
configured, then the first set of valid data received will be used, although the remaining
servers will still be read. The Model 2000 will not update it’s clock between HH:MM:50
and HH:MM+1:10 as this can cause problems with other events that happen on the
minute.

From Port: This is the Source port that the Model 2000 will use.

Variation From GMT: This is the time-zone that the Model 2000 is in.

Update rate: This is how often the Model 2000 will poll the server

Min & Max Adjust: These are the minimum and maximum amounts the Model 2000
clock will be adjusted by.

Timeout: After the specified period of time the Model 2000 will move on to the next
server if no response is received from the current server.

Use Alarms: Select what level of alarm to raise should an error occur.

Server Update Limit: Maximum amount of time since the last time-server adjustment.

- Fix for converting hourly mass flow-rate in lbs to daily flow-rate in imperial tons
LV5.911 is an updated version of LV5.910. In LV5.910 there is an error when converting
the hourly mass flow-rate in lbs to a daily flow-rate in imperial tons.

LV5.910 uses (an incorrect) conversion: hourly flow x 24 / 2400.0 = daily flow
LV5.911 uses the correct conversion: hourly flow x 24 / 2240.0 = daily flow
