Section 1OVERVIEW OF THE ULTRA 3000

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The Daniel Ultra 3000 Electronic Flow Meter (EFM) consists of a series of hardware andsoftware configurations that meet the flow measurement requirements for a wide range ofapplications. The hardware requirements will vary, depending on the application, but generallythe Ultra 3000 may be used with any Personal Computer (PC) that uses Microsoft’s DiskOperating System (MS-DOS). The versatile nature of this product allows you to implement theUltra 3000 system in a variety of settings and to network the various devices required by thesystem.

The Ultra 3000 hardware is designed for outdoor use. The hardware’s lightweight and versatilemounting scheme facilitates one-man operation for simple installation, configuration, calibration,data collection, and maintenance. The Ultra 3000 Central Processing Unit includes two 9600Baud serial communication ports, one LPT1 (printer) parallel port, 1 MB Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM - expandable to 2 MB), 0.5 MB Random Access Memory (RAM -expandable to 8.5 MB), and an internal clock.

The software of the Ultra 3000 is based on the Electronic Flow Meter Operating System(EFMOS). EFMOS provides a consistent user and programmer environment across Ultra 3000hardware models and successive generations of Ultra 3000s. EFMOS has been designed as astandard, not only for future Daniel Electronic Flow Meter products, but also for the industry.

The central goal of EFMOS is to integrate those functions that are essential to any EFMapplication. EFMOS implements these functions in a consistent, universally accepted manner,while allowing user configurability to maintain flexibility in most aspects of the operating systemand the applications derived for the Ultra 3000.

EFM-Access (EFMACCS) is the PC-based software program provided with the Ultra 3000. Allgroups of users, including Field Technicians and Flow Engineers, can use EFM Access for manyoperations. EFMACCS is interactive and menu-driven for ease of use and minimal training.

The Ultra 3000 becomes operational when instructions are fed to it through a PC. This PC isusually a laptop computer because of the ease with which a laptop can be carried.

An EFM Access program disk is loaded directly into the laptop. This disk, which is supplied byDaniel Industries, prepares the laptop for accepting information and creating programs related tothe Ultra 3000 operation. Start-up consists of Definition download and initial Configuration.

SECTION 1 1-1

________________________________Ultra 3000 Field Technician’s ManualSEP 1997

Various types of data can be collected from the Ultra 3000 and then viewed or printed from thelaptop. These include:

- Current Definition and configuration for "cloning" other systems

- Field data logs for diagnosing any problems with the site

- Audit trail and audit data logs for accounting

Most field maintenance of the electronics consists of enhancing the site by adding additionalhardware or isolating a nonfunctional card and replacing it.

SYSTEM DESIGN

The primary information needed to prepare the Ultra 3000 for operation comes from theDefinition and Configuration portions of the EFM Access program.

The Definition program, supplied either by Daniel Industries or a Flow Engineer with theuser’s company, defines the specific application to be used. This includes the number ofmeter runs, number of tubes, type of metering elements, calculation methods, and so on.

Configuration

The Configuration program allows the Field Technician to set many different parameters.These include communications parameters, calibration inputs, pipe/orifice sizes, datacollection, configuration changes, and so on. These parameters can be changed by followinga series of prompts incorporated into each program. The Ultra 3000 can also be configuredby remote telecommunications.

Tool generation programs

When necessary, a software engineer will be asked to create a new tool or protocol driver.

The entire system, through the Definition level, is "open." Run-time licenses, documentation, andsupport are available, for reasonable fees, to assist third parties, OEMs, or customers, indeveloping their own Definitions, configurations, or tools and protocol drivers based on EFMOS.

1-2 OVERVIEW OF THE ULTRA 3000

STANDARD FEATURES

INTERACTIVE FRONT PANEL

Figure 1-1 shows the front panel of the Ultra 3000.

Figure 1-1



LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) PANEL

The display panel is set to turn off its display if no buttons are pushed for a user-defined numberof consecutive seconds (usually 60). The LCD may be configured to go blank and save poweror to stay on and scroll through all available screens when the user-defined amount of timeelapses. Although the LCDcannotbe damaged by operation in temperatures as low as -30°C,the display stops updating at approximately -10°C.

DISPLAY BUTTON

The Display Button is identical in function to the Up arrow button and may not be present onsome display panels.

UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS

The UP and DOWN scrolling arrow keys are designed to take you screen by screen through thedisplay panel of the Ultra 3000. To use these keys, press and release to advance one screen. Ifyou press and hold these buttons for longer than one second at a time the contrast of the LCDpanel will begin to change until you release the button. If the user-defined time period haselapsed, pressing one of these buttons will bring the panel back.

DISPLAY SCREENS

Data Points Screens

Pressing the Down button will cause the first Data Point Screen to appear. This screen containsdata for four data points. Two lines are allocated to each point. The first line contains the datapoint’s name, the second line contains the data point’s Engineering Units and most recentlydownloaded value. If the user advances to an incomplete display screen, the remaining lines willbe filled in as their data becomes available. If the user advances to an empty display screen, pressthe Up button to return to the previous screen, or press the Down button until it "wraps around"to the first page again.

Each page can be viewed individually by pressing the Up and Down buttons. Each time a buttonis pressed, a timer is reset which will cause the display to erase after it expires. Typically thetimer value is set to 60 seconds. Its value can be modified using the EFM Access program. Ascroll feature is available which will cause the display to automatically scroll through the displaypages at specified time intervals when the user-defined time period has elapsed. The durationof the time interval can be set using the EFM Access program.

SECTION 1 1-5


System Screens

The System Screens consist of diagnostic information. The diagnostic screens follow immediatelyafter the last Data Point page. These screens are scrolled and viewed as explained previously inDATA POINTS SCREENS. The diagnostic screens defined below, in general, are designed toassist the software engineer in system troubleshooting. They are described using specific technicalterminology and, therefore, may not be of interest to the Field Technician.

Diagnostic Display No.1

mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss:00Diagnostic Counters

cksm 0 akto 0upls 0 nak 0clcs 0 ack 0rxto 0 0avgs 0 0

Cksm A counter of checksum failures reported by the display unit.

Upls This counter is incremented each time a set of sample data is uploaded andprocessed by the 186.

Clcs A counter of calculation ladder overrun errors. This counter will increment if thecalculation ladder’s processing time exceeds the time of the data gatheringinterval.

Rxto Counter of FIFO receive timeouts. This counter is incremented if a period of 1.7seconds elapses during which the 186 receives no communication from the TrafficCop.

Ack This counter is incremented each time a line is output to the display unit, whenthe display unit passes its acknowledgement back to the 186 via the Traffic Cop.

Nak This is a counter of NAK’s received by the 186 in response to downloaded textpackets. Each time the traffic Cop processor fails to find the display unit’sacknowledgement within a specified interval, it sends the 186 a NAK instead ofan ACK. Normally, the NAK occurs when the display unit is using the interfaceto communicate with the display hardware.

AckTO Each time the 186 outputs a line and fails to receive either an ACK or a NAKwithin four seconds, it increments this ACK time-out counter.



Diagnostic Display No. 2

Time_Now xxxxxxRdSth 0 StUpl 0WarmS 0 Math 0FrmEr 0 BadTm 0FifEr 0 IoTm 0Blker 0 AgaT 0DspU 0 CalT 0

Time_Now A counter of the number of seconds elapsed since 1/1/70.

RdSth A count of the number of READ_STATHAM commands sent to the Traffic Copby the 186 ( normally zero ).

WarmS A counter of the total number of warm starts which have occurred since the lastcold start.

FrmEr This counter is driven by the 186 software. It is incremented each time a newmessage is found in the FIFO imbedded in the midst of the preceding message.It indicates that a byte has gotten lost in a FIFO input message.

FifEr A count of invalid messages received from the Traffic Cop.

BlkEr This counter is driven by the 186 software. It is incremented each time anuploaded data block is received without being preceded by a"start-of-block-upload" message. This counter indicates some sort of FIFOmistake.

DspU This counter is driven by a failure flag which is uploaded by the Traffic Cop witheach one-second data sample. The flag indicates that the display unit failed torespond when the Traffic Cop tried to access it. This occurs under normaloperation when the Display Unit uses its I2C interface to communicate with thedisplay driver chips.

StUpl A count of the number of Statham uploads initiated by the Traffic Cop. Thiscounter increments by 2 for each initiated upload.

Math A count of math errors detected by the floating point math package.

BadTm A count of the number of invalid date/times received from the Traffic Cop. If thiscounter increments, it indicates that the TC’s hardware clock is performingerratically.

SECTION 1 1-7


IoTm This value shows the period of time required for the most recent execution of theI/O ladder calculations. This counter is in units of 1/100ths of a second.

AgaT This value shows the period of time required for the execution of the AGA8calculations on the last execution of the calculation ladder. This counter is in unitsof 1/100ths of a second.

CalT This value shows the period of time required for the most recent execution of thecalculation ladder. This counter is in units of 1/100ths of a second.

Diagnostic Display No. 3

The warm start locations show the values of the code segment, instruction pointer, and flag wordat the instant of the last power fail interrupt. These values will only be of use to a softwareengineer.



Graphic Displays

If there are any graphic displays that are specific to the Definition, they will be displayedimmediately after the last diagnostic display. A graphic display cannot be viewed until the periodof that display’s log interval has passed. If the user toggles down to a graphic that does not yetexist in the Display Unit, the Display Unit will automatically pass on to the next existing graphicor it will wrap around to the first page which shows the Daniel logo and startup information.

Each graph may contain as many as three data points. In such a case, the graph will consist ofa series of four separate pictures. Each of the first three pictures will contain the graph of asingle point shown by itself, the fourth picture in the series will contain the combined graphs forthe three data points.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

The Central Processing Unit, CPU, includes the following:

- Two serial communications ports, capable of 9600 BAUD

SECTION 2 2-1

________________________________Ultra 3000 Field Technician’s ManualJAN 1997

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Software installation on the PC is a prompt-driven procedure. Before following this procedure,be sure you know the drive on which the application is to be installed. Follow these steps:

1. Insert the EFM Access installation diskette into the diskette drive.

2. At theC:> prompt, type the drive directory designation andinstall:

Example a:installor b:install

3. PressEnter.

The automatic installation process begins, providing you with a series of prompts.

NOTE: Be sure that you do not have anything on your hard drive that is ina directory called "EFM". If you do, upon installation, thisinformation will be replaced.

CAUTION: The following items may cause the EFM Accesssoftware to operate unreliably or not at all:

- MS-DOS version 6.0 (versions 5.0 or 6.2 are recommended,instead)

- some Terminate and Stay Resident programs (TSRs)

- MS-DOS "smartdrv"

- MS-DOS "dblspace" or other disk expansion utilities

2-2 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND INTRODUCTION


4. Supply the following, as you are prompted:

- Target installation drive (default is C)

- Target installation path (default is EFM)

- Whether you not you are installing the Definition program (default is N)

- PC users’ security level (256 levels, 0 - 255)

- Coldstart security level (256 levels, 0 - 255)

- Calibration security level (256 levels, 0 - 255)

The automatic installation procedure begins. When it is complete, a completion messageis displayed.

CAUTION: Do not reboot your PC while plugged into anULTRA 3000 unit!

CAUTION: Never power-down (OFF) the Ultra 3000 orphysically disconnect it from the PC (by unplugging thecommunications cable) while the EFMACCS software is runningin "Access" mode. If you have established communications withan Ultra 3000 unit, always use the software to first disconnect, byreturning to the Main Menu screen. Then you may turn the unit’spower OFF or disconnect the communications cable. Failure toobserve this procedure can result in corruption of the EFMACCSdatabase records. (See "Disconnecting" in section 4.)

SECTION 2 2-3


CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT MODIFICATIONS

The automatic installation process of EFM Access does not modify your computer’s boot files,CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Therefore, you should inspect these two files and makenecessary modifications. Ensure that the following conditions are met when you boot, or start,your computer to run EFM Access:

CONFIG.SYS

- files = at least30 (mandatory)

- buffers = at least20 (mandatory)

- shell = c:\dos\command.com /e:1536 /p (optional; add only if you have received theDOS error message "Out of environmentspace" while running EFM Access)

- device = c:\dos\smartdrv.sys (disable; incompatible with EFM Accessprogram)

- device = c:\dos\dblspace.sys (do not add this command, or, if it alreadyexists, no not disable this command;however, "dblspace" is incompatible withEFM Access)

AUTOEXEC.BAT

- A command to start any TSR program (optionally disable; some TSRs areincompatible with EFM Access)

- call \efm\bin\efmini (optional; add after "Path" statement ifdesired; see next section, this manual,"INITIALIZING THE PROGRAM")



INITIALIZING THE PROGRAM

Before logging on to EFM Access, you must first initialize the program. You may do thisautomatically, by adding an AUTOEXEC.BAT instruction, or manually, from the DOS commandline. Following are the directions for both procedures, assuming that you have put EFM Accessin the EFM directory as the installation process suggests.

ADDING AN AUTOEXEC.BAT INSTRUCTION

To add an instruction that automatically initializes the EFM Access program:

1. Locate the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

2. Add the following instruction after the PATH setup:

call \efm\bin\efmini

3. Reboot your computer to invoke your new AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

In the future, you can log on without manually initializing the EFM Access program from theMS-DOS prompt.

Calibration of the sensors should be performed during start-up, but can also be performed assystem requirements change. Two to eleven calibration points plus offset values are supported.

In addition to calibration points, you can enter one offset value per input. An offset value is alinear shift in a calibration value to accommodate the difference between calibration conditionsand actual operating conditions. In a natural gas application, for example, an offset is also knownas "low bias." The Ultra 3000 supports an offset value for any input. You may enter calibrationpoints, offset values, or both.

A list of analog inputs that may be calibrated is programmed into your Definition. The systemprompts you for the calibration data in the order required by the Definition. You will need thecalibration instruments for this procedure.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

NOTE: Before the calibration procedure can begin, it is necessary to putthe Ultra into "Fixed" or "Maintenance Mode". This will cause allpoints designated by the Flow Engineer to fix on their currentvalues while you are calibrating the Ultra 3000. The followinginstructions will take you through this procedure.

1. Be sure you have accessed the Configuration Submenu and that a Definition andconfiguration have been downloaded to the Ultra 3000.

NOTE: After the initial calibration has been performed, you donot have tocold-start the unit again or download a new Definition andconfiguration.

2. SelectEdit .

The Edit Submenu will appear.

3. SelectMenus from the Edit Submenu.

A list of menus made available to you by the Flow Engineer is shown.

SECTION 4 4-17


4. The menu type to be selected here will be Definition-specific as specified by the FlowEngineer. Consult with the Flow Engineer or refer to the Definition specification as towhich menu type contains the Maintenance Mode function. Choose that menu type.

The menu type specified by the Flow Engineer will appear.

5. To edit an item, at this point, you can either pressF2 to see a complete list of items andthe values attached to each item, or you can pressEnter to see the specific item whichis highlighted and its associated value.

6. If you have pressedF2 to see the complete list of items, you must now pressF2 againto select Edit mode so that you can change the values.

7. Change theMaintenance Mode, or similarly named input, to1 or True. This fixes thecurrent values in the Ultra 3000. PressEscapeuntil the Edit Submenu reappears.

8. SelectSend Changesfrom the Edit Submenu.

This will send the change in the Maintenance Mode to the Ultra.

You will see a series of messages while the changes are being sent and then the EditSubmenu will reappear. You are now ready to calibrate.

9. SelectCalibrate from the Edit Submenu.

The Calibration Points submenu is displayed, showing you a list of possible points to becalibrated.

10. Choose the Calibration Point to be calibrated by highlighting that point and pressing theEnter key.

The Calibration Options screen will appear, giving you a choice of "Set Offset" or "SetPoint Values". Highlight the option you wish to choose and pressEnter.



11. The"Set Point Values" Option:

The Calibration Values screen will appear. In this screen, you are given the current RawCounts and the Engineering Units (E.U.) Value. You are then prompted to enter thecorrected value for a given calibration point. You must define at least two and no morethan eleven calibration points.

NOTE: Different IOUs will have different hardware configurations. Thefollowing is an example of a two-point calibration for an RTD witha temperature range of 0 - 150°F.

At this point, you must set the calibration hardware to the desired calibration point. Youmust first obtain the necessary reference resistors for 0 and 150°F. These resistors areavailable from Daniel Industries. The following steps will take you through the hardwareconfigurations necessary to calibrate thefirst point in a typical RTD calibration:

a. Disconnect the RTD from the J5 connector on the IOU by unplugging it.b. Plug the 0°F resistor into the J5 connector on the IOU board.c. Allow 2 minutes for the reading to stabilize. This isnecessaryfor an accurate

calibration.

Return to the Calibration Values screen and follow the steps below for softwarecalibration:

d. PressEnter to freeze the current value.e. Enter the new calibration value (0.0°F)f. PressEnter to include this calibration point

The following steps will take you through the hardware configurations necessary tocalibrate thesecondpoint in a typical RTD calibration:

Escape Cancels and Exits the calibration without saving.

13. The"Set Offset" Option:

This option is generally used after a calibration has been performed with the"Set PointValues" Option. This option allows you to normalize any "drift" which may haveoccurred in the values. To choose the"Set Offset" Option, pressEnter and theCalibration Offset screen will appear. This screen shows you the current value andprompts you to type in an offset value. Follow the steps below:

a. PressEnter to freeze the current value.b. Enter an offset value as you are prompted.

14. At this point, you may exit by pressing one of the following:

F10 Accepts the new offset and exits calibrationEscape Cancels and Exits the calibration without saving

15. After the calibration process is complete, it is necessary to change theMaintenanceMode back to0 or False to allow the Ultra to operate in real time. Follow Steps 2 - 8as detailed above, putting the Maintenance Mode value back to0 or False in place ofStep 7.Be sure to Send Changesbefore exiting the Configuration screen.

16. After the unit has been satisfactorily calibrated, be sure to collect, or save, the calibrationparameters from theCollect menu option.

17. Verify your calibration using the directions in the following segment.



VERIFYING THE CALIBRATION OR OFFSET VALUES

Because of the importance of accurate calibrations, you should verify the calibration values using"live" values. You can do this by checking the Analog Inputs, or similarly named menu. EachDefinition will uniquely determine where these values are located and how you access them.

1. Access the Analog Inputs.

2. What you do depends on whether the values are accurate.

- If they are accurate, you are finished with the calibration process.

- If they arenot accurate or donot stabilize, go to Section 7.

3. When you have satisfactorily verified the calibration values, be sure to collect, or save,the calibration parameters from theCollect menu option.

Section 7TROUBLESHOOTING

EFM ACCESS

We recommend that you donot run the EFM Access program while there is any other TSR(Terminate Stay Resident) program in your computer’s memory.

If while you are trying to run the EFM Access program, you are experiencing difficulties, forexample:

- Program crashes to DOS

- C-scape error

Try removing all TSR (Terminate Stay Resident) programs from your computer’s memory andthen run the EFM Access program.

CALIBRATION

If the values you have entered for calibration are rejected, arenot accurate, or donot stabilize,follow these steps:

1. Perform the calibration or offset entry procedure again to ensure that the entries weremade correctly. (Previously entered information is deleted in this procedure.)

2. If the problem still occurs, ensure that the high/low scale values match the high/lowrequirements for the sensor in the Configuration. Depending on your Definition, you maybe able to correct this problem through the Configuration Submenu System (i.e. EditSubmenu, Menus option):

- If there is a menu for "Scales," use it to check the values.

- If there isnot a menu for "Scales," check with the Flow Engineer to determine ifthis problem can be corrected through the Configuration Submenu System. If itcan, refer to the appropriate option description in Section 5.

3. If the problem still occurs, ensure that the analog input hardware is installed correctly.There may be a wiring or grounding problem.

4. If the problem still occurs, contact Daniel Customer Service.
