Innovative Options for
Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters
New Series 100
Plus Board uses HART® communications to deliver real time
diagnostics
Product overview and
capabilities
Emerson Process Management has
introduced new HART®
communication functionality with the introduction of
the Series 100 Plus Board. This new Option Board expands the existing Mark
III™ Electronics platform. It enables the Daniel Ultrasonic Flow Meter to
perform as an integral custody transfer flow computer. With this
functionality, corrected volume energy, mass flow rate, and AGA10 speed of sound can be calculated.
The HART communications deliver
real-time diagnostics from the ultrasonic meter to Emerson's PlantWeb®
digital plant architecture including host systems and flow computers.
The new functionality enables users to improve operational excellence by
leveraging meter diagnostics through PlantWeb, improve uptime by using
advanced monitoring and alarming capability to address maintenance
alarms before they lead to failure, and save staff time by using meter
diagnostics to quickly troubleshoot meter problems.

The Series 100 Plus
Board
The Series 100 Plus Board expands
the functionality of the Daniel Ultrasonic Flow Meter when equipped with
Mark III Electronics. This expansion board is easily installed on the
Mark III CPU board in the field and provides:
- Two 16-bit fully isolated, 4-20
mA analog inputs for live pressure and temperature measurement
- One conventional 16-bit 4-20 mA fully isolated
analog output for corrected volume and energy flow rate
- Second 16 bit 4-20 mA analog
HART output
- One serial port to obtain live
gas composition from the GC or for general purpose use
- Real-time profile correction for
the Daniel JuniorSonic™ Gas Flow Meter

Live Gas Composition
from a Gas Chromatograph (GC)
Daniel has established an industry
first by integrating flow computer functionality in the
SeniorSonic and
JuniorSonic Flow Meters
with live natural gas composition information in the meter. This option
can significantly reduce overall project costs by eliminating the need
for a second, back-up flow computer. When used as a redundant flow
computer, the meter can provide a valuable service if if the primary
flow computer were to fail.
When used as a redundant flow computer,
costs can be further reduced by utilizing the primary pressure and
temperature transmitters. This is achieved by transparently looping the
primary transmitters through the Series 100 Options Board. This is
possible with the Options Board full differential analog inputs. The
Series 100 Options Board can also power 4-20 mA pressure and temperature
transmitters for stand-alone measurement systems.

AGA10 Speed of Sound
Calculations
Daniel Ultrasonic Flow Meters can save
valuable time with real-time AGA10 SOS calculations. The Mark III
Electronics, using live gas composition, pressure and temperature,
calculates the speed of sound every 5 seconds. The AGA10-calculated and
meter-measured SOS values are then averaged over an hour with the
results reported in an hourly data log. This comparison can help
identify possible process upsets and can validate the integrity of the
flow meter, gas analysis and analog measurements.
The Daniel Customer Ultrasonic
Interface (CUI) software automatically includes the AGA10-calculated
SOS in the inspection reports. This valuable feature prevents manual gas
composition data entry errors.

Archive Data Logs
The financial value of natural gas
measured by flow meters makes historical measurement information very
valuable. Verifying meter integrity has never been more important.
Daniel Archive Data Logs are easy to use and help validate measurement
integrity by providing:
- 100 days of hourly measurement
data
- 365 days of daily measurement
data
- 3,000 audit log records
- 3,000 alarm log records
- Automated download of data to
Microsoft Excel® using Daniel CUI Deluxe software
When a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter is
built, metrology information is stored in the meter. Each meter’s
metrology information includes information on path length, diameter,
meter calibration factors, and many other parameters that can directly
affect measurement integrity. If the meter configuration is changed,
accuracy of the meter can be affected. The Daniel Archive Audit Log
records configuration parameter changes with time-stamping.
Additionally, the Archive Audit Log accurately records the meter’s power
fail and power restore times, providing confidence of the actual meter
operating time.
The Daniel Archive Alarm Log records
time-stamped alarm information. This information includes alarm
description, status (set/cleared), type (high/low) and limit and alarm
values. This feature permits accurate and timely corrections to billing.

Ethernet Connectivity
Securely accessing data quickly and
easily via the Internet from anywhere in the world saves time and money.
Another valuable Ethernet benefit is providing meter access by multiple,
simultaneous users for data collection and routine maintenance.
For applications where remote access is
not available, Ethernet remains the preferred method of locally
connecting directly to the flow meter. At a speed of 10 Megabits (one
million bits) per second, Ethernet is more than 100 times faster than
serial connectivity. This dramatically reduces data collection time
while providing transparent meter access to multiple users
simultaneously.
Mark III Electronics is Internet1
enabled. This makes the Daniel Ultrasonic Flow Meter accessible from
corporate area intranet and Internet installations, including existing
and industry-standard firewalls and access rules.
1 Note that an external
firewall is required for secure access.
