Now wireless connectivity is available with the new Ethernet Industrial Hotspot, all with ProSoft's complete communications expertise and support.
Integration of the MVI56 Flow Computer into the ControlLogix rack provides a cost-effective communication solution for overall production efficiency through its seamless process control and flow computations.
The MVI56-AFC module supports 16 meter runs, greatly facilitating custody transfer of products between two parties and line balance for pipeline leak detection.
The three built-in Modbus ports provide on-line meter configuration access, allowing the user complete access to the defined meter data table.
One Modbus port can be configured as a Master providing a Modbus interface to gas chromatographs for gas analysis or any other Modbus Slave devices.
Other features include:.
* Strict adherence to AGA 3, 7, 8 and API 2540 industry standards.
* On-line, detailed check of active flow measurement calculations for a selected meter run.
* Event Log reporting for all security sensitive configuration data (e.g Orifice Diameter) are date and time stamped and mapped to the local Modbus memory.
The AFC Manager is a user-friendly, Windows-based software which easily configures the MVI56-AFC module to meet individual needs.
Operator data is displayed in user-selected engineering units and is designed to cope with exceptionally demanding regimes.
The MVI-AFC Hydrocarbon Flow Computer is also available for the SLC (MVI46-AFC), CompactLogix (MVI69-AFC), and PLC (MVI71-AFC) platforms.
