-
Brief information
Scope: The Model 2000 web-enabled ow computer is designed for hydrocarbon
liquid and gas measurement and control applications. The advanced features sup-
port exible congurations for multi stream scal and custody transfer measurements
based on volume, mass and energy calculations using the latest applicable AGA, ISO
and API standards available.
Model 2000 can be congured for use either as stand-alone single or multiple stream
ow computer supporting turbine, rotary, ultrasonic, orice, density, venturi and co-
riolis ow meters or as a system component serving station controller, liquid prover /
grab sampler or valve & PID loop control functionalities.
The top of the range Model 2000 ow computers provide remote control capabilities
using web-based TCP/IP technologies for remote front panel operations, conguration
set-up and pass-through communication ports enabling remote meter and transmit-
ter diagnostics.
Model 2000 innovative digital technology: Elster-Instromets involvement with ow
computers started 30 years ago, but the last decade has shown a quantum leap
through the use of digital technology. The ow computers have evolved from pure
analogue stand-alone machines into the current state of the art digital web enabled
system components ready to meet the challenge and requirements of the 21st century
large scale liquid and gas metering.
Complete digital signal handling of SMART temperature, pressure and differential
pressure transmitters through proven 32-bit high-speed microprocessor technology
guarantees the full accuracy of the measurement is preserved. Ambient temperature
dependence of signals is eliminated and the system performance is solely limited to
the inherent accuracy of the transmitters. Digital communication is also used when
connecting to turbine, rotary and ultrasonic ow meters, gas chromatographs and
other energy measurement devices.
The Model 2000 digital ow computer features distributed processing and dual port
memory access techniques to accomplish maximum system performance. All I/O
cards have local processing capabilities to support on-board signal interfacing, con-
trol and alarming functionalities.

Model 2000: Web-enabled ow computer
Accuracy and reliability
Both energy conservation and efciency
improvement in oil and gas utilisation
call for more accurate metering. Open
access for third parties to transmission
lines or even distribution systems has
been introduced in many countries and
is gaining further support from regula-
tory bodies. Under such a regime where
a pipeline owner only receives a fee for
the transportation without the opportuni-
ty to prot from the gas sales, the nan-
cial risk of inaccuracies or malfunction of
metering equipment may be very high,
especially on short distance transmis-
sion. Reliability is at a premium for the
Model 2000, both where it affects ac-
curacy of metering and where it affects
operation.
Adaptability and exibility
Todays oil and gas metering calls for
adaptable solutions both in hard- and
software design. The Model 2000 ow
computer offers this exibility in provid-
ing a large range of modular I/O inter-
face boards supported by advanced
user programmable software features.
The menu (icon) driven Model 2000 Win-
dows interface is highly thought of by
many of our worldwide customers.
Metering compatibility
The Model 2000 ow computer is de-
signed to calculate the energy, mass
and volume totals and instantaneous
ow rates of gas and hydrocarbon liq-
uids. Calculations are carried out using
inputs from pulse generating turbine/ro-
tary meters, ultrasonic meters, coriolis
meters, venturi meters or from differen-
tial pressure measurements across ori-
ce plates together with line temperature
and line pressure transmitters. It uses
preset or active input values of relative
density, gas composition data and heat-
ing value. Active values can be received
directly from gas chromatographs or can
be written serially from supervisory sys-
tems.
Compressibility
The ow of gas is calculated using gas
compressibility equations (Z) selected
from a list of which includes AGA 8,
ISO 12213, AGA 3 NX19 as well as xed
factors or table factors for non natural
gases. Alternatively the ow of gas can
be calculated using a transducer for line
density. The ow of liquids is calculated
using xed or measured factors for den-
sity and relative density and correction
based upon measured temperature
and pressure of the liquid in accordance
with the API standards chapter 11.2.1M,
11.2.2M and chapter 12.
Sensor select and alarming
Facilities of both high and low alarming
on all active input signals are available.
The alarms can be selected to enable a
default value, a serial check value (from
supervisory systems), an average value
or a input value from an alternative sen-
sor to be used in the ow calculation for
the parameter in alarm. Indication is giv-
en of the time of occurrence and clear-
ance of the alarm state. Solid state alarm
output signals are also provided.
Digital process inputs
Digital communication (by HART proto-
col) is supported for differential pressure,
pressure, temperature and multi-vari-
able (dP,P,T) transmitters eliminating the
need for calibration of the Model 2000.
This feature also eliminates the errors in
ow measurement due to ambient tem-
perature effects on the Model 2000, only
the temperature coefcients of the trans-
mitters contribute to the overall error.
As an alternative the Model 2000 can be
operated from transmitters that supply
4-20mA current output and also direct
from a 100 ohm platinum resistance ther-
mometer for temperature measurement.
These types of input are measured using
analogue inputs and a high resolution
(24-Bits) A-D converter. All analogue in-
puts are calibrated using software.

Serial communication ports
Two high speed serial RS232/RS485
communication ports are provided as
standard on the MPU module for data
communication to a wide range of sys-
tem devices or printers. Two or more
extra serial ports can be used when
tting a COMMS module. All ports are
programmable for the hardware mode
of operation (RS232/ RS485), baudrate,
parity, start and stop bits and hand-
shaking protocols. A wide range of pro-
tocols and functions can be assigned to
each port e.g.:
Modbus ASCII or RTU
Password Modbus ASCII / RTU
E-I ultrasonic (uniform / RTU)
E-I ultrasonic (thru-port)
E-I ENCAL 3000

PID analogue output control
An analogue output function is availa-
ble that can be used to control process
variables like ow rate, temperature,
pressure, etc. via analogue output sig-
nals. The PID function uses the differ-
ence between a set point and a proc-
ess value as input for its calculation.
The analogue output value is control-
led to be the sum of a proportional,
integral and derivative action. It has
a forward / reverse parameter to use
the controller in the correct direction.
Gas chromatograph support
Since the Model 2000 can be used in a
variety of gas measurement applications
we have expanded our compatibility to a
wide range of leading manufacturers of
gas chromatographs e.g.:
E-I ENCAL 2000/3000 (EU/USA)
E-I ENSONIC
Daniels 2251, 2551, 2350
ABB 8000/8100
ABB 3100
Yamatake HGC303
Siemens Optichrome
Rosemount GCX
OSC-01-E (Gasunie NL)
Multiple density transducers
The density inputs for the Model 2000
are high frequency periodic inputs. Two
brands of density transducers are sup-
ported: Solartron and Sarasota. On
alarm the FC2000 calculations can be
programmed to continue with density
keypad values, or alternative density val-
ues can be calculated from AGA8. Hourly
and daily averages are available.
Optionally one density input can be con-
gured as relative density input. When
this type of input is selected this meas-
urement will take priority over any value
received for relative density from a gas
chromatograph.

Model 2000: Web-enabled ow computer
Model 2000 Ethernet access
Network 2 module
Networking module
The Model 2000 can be equipped with
one or more (independent) Network 2
modules. Each module provides a fast
10/100 MHz Ethernet port connection via
a standard 8-pin RJ45 connector. Initial
set-up and conguration of the Ethernet
ports is done via the front panel USB pro-
gramming port together with the Model
2000 Windows programming tool.
Correct connection to a network and
communication is ensured by LED status
indicators.
Model 2000 Ethernet features
The Ethernet port(s) allow full remote
conguration as well as data collection
of the Model 2000. Protocols like TCP/IP
and Modbus over TCP/IP are supported
as standard while others are under de-
velopment. Multiple (PC) servers are al-
lowed to access metering data from
multiple ow computers in a web-based
network system using standard avail-
able routers or switches. The Ethernet
package data transfer is far more ver-
satile than any other communication
protocol. It allows data communication
from any device to any other device (no
dedicated master/slave) using unique IP
address techniques and supports mod-
ern communication networks like GPRS,
ADSL, Fibre-Optics, etc..
Remote front panel access
A unique feature of the Model 2000
Ethernet 2 module is the support for re-
mote front panel operations. Access is
provided using a standard web browser
(Explorer) application selecting the IP-
address of the device. On connection a
JAVA applet will be started automatically
and a virtual Model 2000 front panel will
pop up. The PC mouse (or keyboard) is
than used to activate any of Model 2000
keyboard buttons. All local keyboard
and front panel functions are supported
remotely (including alarm-log access
and edit functions). The remote front
panel assists remote maintenance. Any
local operator can be guided through
the various menus from remote (and
vice-versa).
Network pass through
Network pass through capabilities of-
fer another unique aspect of the Model
2000 Ethernet functionalities. It allows
any remote PC or supervisory system to
access directly pressure or temperature
transmitters, meters and/or gas chro-
matographs connected to the Model
2000 ow computer using any specic
serial manufacturers protocol. Remote
serial diagnostics software can be used
since the serial RS232 port is emulated in
the PC or supervisory system.
Pass through communication is suit-
able for many applications. For example
to remotely read and congure HART
transmitters using software packages
provided by transmitter manufacturers
or third parties e.g.: AMS or PACTware.
Similarly uniform protocols can be used
to read or diagnose ultrasonic meters
remotely. Modbus packages over TCP/IP
can be used to retrieve online and stored
(logged) data from any Model 2000 ow
computers for storage in supervisory
systems.

Liquid prover application
ISS supervisory systems
Elster-Instromet is specialised in gas
measurement for more than 30 years.
During this time we have not only prov-
en to be a reliable manufacturer of the
highest quality, but also a exible solu-
tion provider of high accuracy measure-
ment systems. The turn-key solutions are
tailor made and range from small district
metering and reduction stations to cus-
tody transfer border stations. Complete
solutions include meters, skids, analyser
houses, ow computers, station control-
lers, control cabinets and supervisory
systems are widely used in many on
and offshore applications.
This expertise has led to one of the
most advanced custody transfer super-
visory systems available on the market
at present. The core of the system is the
Elster-Instromet Supervisory Suite (ISS)
software being more than a SCADA
package. ISS is developed specically for
gas and liquid applications where ac-
curate calculations, data processing and
reporting are of the utmost importance.
Such applications include gas & liquid
metering stations, calibration installa-
tions, telemetry, remote metering, billing
and pipeline monitoring systems.
As a system component this is where the
Model 2000 web-enabled ow compu-
ter / station controller ts best.
Data loggers
Model 2000 can be congured to log up
to 16 different tables of data. Each table
can be congured to log any parameter
either at a programmable time interval
(1 min. to 1 month) or at the occurrence
of an event. The number of logs for each
table can be set. The maximum number
of items is dened as the sum of all ac-
tive tables up to a maximum of 150,000
items for a Model 2000 with a large
memory MPU board tted.
Alarm logging
Alarm logging is provided at the occur-
rence and clearance of each alarm, fault
and warning. Up to 160 separate alarms
can be stored and indicated with date
and time of the occurrence.
Audit / event log
An audit / event log is available to record
up to 500 events with date and time of
occurrence. To and from values for data
changes are stored to support audit trail
facilities.
