Say Goodbye to Chart Reco rders...

Manually gathering and

integrating charts is timeconsuming, labor intensive, and

costly.

Low accuracy, off-chart

readings, inking problems, andmalfunctions mean more lost

and unaccounted gas.

Chart recorders provide few

capabilities beyond pressureand temperature measurement.

And to Comp licated EFM Instal lat ions...

Typical EFM installations

are a maze of solar panels,battery boxes, radios,

antennas, and wiring

making installation difficult

and costly.

Engineering these

installations can be time

consuming, and the end

result may not meet

performance expectations.

And Hel lo to the FloBoss 103

The FloBoss 103 provides fast,

convenient, and inexpensiveelectronic retrieval of gas flow

data locally or remotely.

The FloBoss 103 delivers higher

accuracy and eliminates chartproblems. The result, less lost

and unaccounted gas.

The FloBoss 103 integrates

batteries, communication cards,and sensor into a single, easy-

to-install unit.

The FloBoss 103 Miss ion

To fulfill the need for a high-performance,

compact single-run flow computer that is theideal replacement for the traditional paper chart

recorders used in natural gas flow

measurement.

To provide API Chapter 21.1 compliant flowmeasurement in a unit that is self contained --

i.e., batteries and communications are built-in.

All you need to add is an RTD and a 2- or 5-

Watt solar panel for full functionality.

Func t ional Overview

The FloBoss 103 provides these outstandingfunctional features:

AGA Flow Calculations

Historical Databases

Event and Alarm Logs

Data Security

Embedded Communications

Spontaneous Report-by-Exception (SRBX)Host Communication

Pass-Through Communication

Closed-loop PID Control Logic and Sequencing Control

ROCLINK 800Configuration Interface

AGA Flow Calculat ions

Gas flow is calculated for

both volume and energy inaccordance with the 1992

AGA Report No. 3.

AGA 8 compressibility

calculations use Detail,Gross I, or Gross II

methods.

Meter setup is made quick

and easy using fill-in-the-blanks data entry.

Histo rical Databases

The FloBoss 103 maintainsAPI Chapter 21.1 complianthistorical archives formeasured and calculatedvalues, and events/alarms.

Up to 35 standard historypoints can be archived on anhourly and daily basis for upto 35 days.

An extended history databasesupports data logging atintervals from 1 to 60minutes, giving operators theflexibility to meet the needs ofadvanced applications.

Event and A larm Logs

The Event Log records

the last 240 parameterchanges and power

on/off cycles.

The Alarm Log records

the last 240 occurrences

of alarms (set or clear).

The logs can be viewed,

saved to a disk file, or

printed by using

ROCLINK 800software.


10/29

Data Secu rity

A maximum of 16 log-onidentifiers (IDs) for operators

can be stored. The log-on ID entered into

ROCLINK 800must match oneof the stored IDs for the unit tocommunicate.

Both the operator interface andhost can have the samesecurity. Security levels maybe determined by user andaccess level.

Embedded Communicat ions

The FloBoss 103 offers abuilt-in EIA-485 port and anoptional EIA-232 port or dial-up modem port for hostcommunications.

An optional spread-spectrum

radio interface supports eitherFreeWave M-Series orMaxStream 9X Streamspread-spectrum radios thatfit entirely within the FloBoss

103 enclosure.


12/29

SRBX Commun icat ion

Spontaneous Report-By

-Exception (SRBX)communication allows

the FloBoss 103 to

automatically report any

alarm to a host

computer.

SRBX can be performed

over dial-up modem or

serial line to a host that

is set up for receiving

field-initiated calls.


13/29


ESC to Exit

Pass-Through Commun icat ions

Pass-through gives the

FloBoss 103 the capability topass information between a

host and devices connected

to the FloBoss 103 that use

ROC or Modbus protocol.

Pass-through reduces the

cost of communication when

several devices are

geographically grouped.

Pass-through is available foruse with RS485, RS232, or

dial-up modem connections.

PID Loop Contro l

PID (Proportional,

Integral, and Derivative)closed-loop control

provides stable

operation of a feedback

control loop that

employs a regulating

device, such as a control

valve.

The PID loop has its

own user-defined input,

output, and override

capability.


15/29


ESC to Exit

Logic and Sequencing Contro l

Analog and discrete

sequencing control isimplemented through a

Function Sequence

Table (FST).

The FST defines the

actions to be performed

by the FloBoss 103

through a series of

Functions.

The FST is developedusing ROCLINK 800

software.

ROCLINK 800 Con figu rat ion In terface

ROCLINK 800is the easy-

to-use software forconfiguration and

downloading data.

Compatible with most other

FloBoss and ROC productsfor convenience in mixed-

product installations.

On-line Help screens get

first-time users up andrunning quickly.

Local Operato r Disp lay (Optional)

Flow information is scrolled

on a two-line liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) when

activated by the user.

Top line displays values

(8 numerals) and bottomline displays descriptions

(5 alpha-numeric

characters).

Information displayed isconfigured by the user

according to their needs.
