PROSOFT MT-11 AFC modules

PROSOFT MT-11 AFC modules

ProSoft Flow Computers

ProSoft AFC modules are in-rack Oil & Gas Flow Computers for Allen-Bradley’s  ControlLogix, SLC 500, and PLC-5 processors and Schneider Electric’s Quantum  processor. These modules support 8 or 16 meter runs for the measurement  of hydrocarbon gases using the AGA 3, 7 and 8 measurement standards. For  hydrocarbon liquid flow measurement, this solution uses API 2540 standard.

To obtain process inputs for the calculations, the module uses the process data  collected by processor’s analog I/O modules.

ProSoft’s AFC module calculates flow rates, accumulated volumes and accumulated  mass. The results of the calculations are transferred back to the processor for  use in the application ladder logic, or for transfer to a SCADA host.

Using Field Instrumentation

Why HART?

For many years the fi eld communication standard for process automation  equipment has been a milliamp (mA) analog current signal with a signal  range of 4-20mA. The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer)  protocol extends this 4-20mA standard to enhance communication with  smart fi eld instruments. HART allows two-way digital communications to  occur without disturbing the integrity of the 4-20mA signal. HART signals  are carried over the same wiring that is typically used for 4-20mA analog  instruments. Instrumentation products equipped with the HART protocol are  used in a wide range of applications and industries, providing cost saving  benefi ts and improved performance worldwide. It has been estimated that  nearly 2 million HART installations are in existence today and include:  Rosemount, Endress & Hauser, Honeywell, and Yokagawa Transmitters.

HART Interface Modules

ProSoft Technology has a variety of HART interface modules offering  connectivity solutions for smart fi eld instrumentation that supports HART  multi-drop networks. The HART modules provide access to temperature,  pressure, and multi-variable units, as well as, full access to digital  confi guration, diagnostics, and maintenance information in each connected  transmitter.

Modbus RTU Processor

ProSoft’s RTU 5/03 is a remote SCADA  processor acting as a Modbus slave.  Designed as a single-slot solution for  Allen-Bradley’s SLC 500, the RTU 5/03 is  targeted at SCADA applications primarily  in the Oil and Gas industry.
