Liquid and Gas Flow

Computer for CompactLogix®
MVI69-AFC

The Liquid & Gas Flow Computer Module is designed as an Integrated component
®
for CompactLogix systems to measure hydrocarbon gasses or liquids with accuracy
and precision.
The flow computer calculates flow rates and accumulated totals of volume, mass,
and energy (heating value) for specified liquids and gases. Selected calculated
results are transferred to processor memory for use in the application ladder
programs. A SCADA host may retrieve the same values through any of three front-
panel Modbus serial ports.

Features Benefits
8 Meter runs ♦ The module can calculate up to 8 meter runs with four streams per runs simultaneously,
making it cost effective, since more meters can be connected to a single flow computer.
♦ Monitor gas and liquid meters for (flow rates, accumulator values and other calculation
results). All alarm data is displayed on the AFC Manager screen
♦ The AFC Manager software provides ability to download and view the archives and events
Three Configurable Modbus ♦ Change Configuration Online with no downtime
Ports ♦ All Data including configuration, calculated results, and historical records available using
Modbus through any of the three ports.
♦ All ports can operate as Modbus slaves and one port can be configured as a Modbus Master
Customized Modbus Data ♦ Remapping to a virtual slave enables data concentration
Mapping ♦ Data concentration reduces bandwidth load on the communication system
Auditability ♦ Audit Scan captures process inputs and calculated results as "snapshots", allowing
verification of calculations.
♦ Event Log records significant events and alarms.
♦ Hourly and daily archives are configurable historical records of user-selected data.
♦ Using Modbus, Audit Scan, Event Log, and Archives, can be viewed online, printed, or
saved to a file in .txt or .csv format.
Security ♦ Data download is secure with no data loss.
♦ Password protection schemes are available to control user access.

Configuration
The AFC Manager is a Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7-based configuration, reporting, and monitoring tool provided with all
AFC modules. Project configurations may be uploaded, downloaded and saved to the PC under user-selectable file names.

♦ Supports data archiving and event logging
♦ Data archiving is available for each meter run, hourly for two days (48 records) and
daily for one month (35 records) under default configuration, with optional extended
archives up to 1,440 hourly (60 days) and 1,440 daily. The actual number of Liquid and Gas Flow
archives is dependent upon the size set by the user for each archive type.
♦ Event logging feature provides storage of up to 1,999 station events.

♦ All three Modbus slave ports allow for SCADA communication and can be
configured for RTU or ASCII mode.
♦ Modbus table may be re-mapped as a virtual Modbus slave for user-assigned
contiguous register polling by a SCADA master (up to 20,000 registers).
♦ One of the three ports can be configured as a Modbus Master port to poll data from
remote devices.
