    The Spectra100 Flow Computer System is a

    microprocessor-based, battery-operated, low power Electronic Flow Meter that forms a part

    of an Electronic Metering System, as defined by

    the Manual of Petroleum, Measurement Standards, Chapter 21.

    The unit calculates the corrected gas flow by using data from primary and secondary

    measurement devices.

    Daniel manufacturers two versions of the Spectra100, a single run orifice meter version

    and a single run turbine meter (coil or contact

    closure) version. Each meter uses different measuring devices. See the figures on the

    following page for a back and front view of a

    Spectra100 with a single run orifice meter.

    The microprocessor-based electronics are

    mounted on a single printed circuit board (PCB) that is housed, along with the integrated

    devices listed above, inside a compact

    aluminum enclosure.

    The enclosure has accouterments for bracket-

    mounting, a single field-wiring port, and a front-panel door with a liquid crystal display

    (LCD) that automatically scrolls displayed

    data. Also on the front panel (door) are touch controls for pausing the scrolled data display

    and adjusting the LCD contrast.

    On the bottom of the enclosure is a water tight

    RS232 serial connector for connecting the

    Spectra100 to a portable (laptop) or desktop PC.

    There are three types of software associated

    with the Spectra100 that are potentially

    important: the Spectra100 embedded software, the local interface software SpectraCom

    (included with the Spectra100), and host

    software.

    Embedded Software. This software works

    behind the scenes. Its commands are

    embedded into the memory circuits and EPROMS that are integral to the Spectra100

    computer system. This software does the real

    work of a flow computer, which includes (but is not limited to) performing calculations,

    systematically storing data into logs or Modbus

    registers, and reacting to parameters changes and alarm conditions.

    Local Interface Software. SpectraCom is the

    local interface software that can be purchased to communicate with Spectra100 unit(s).

    SpectraCom will run on a portable or desktop

    PC with a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system (e.g., Windows 95 or Windows NT). It

    creates Windows-standard displays and

    enables you to interact with the Spectra100 embedded software, so you can perform

    common flow computer-associated tasks. These

    include (but are not limited to) accessing and

    logging onto the Spectra100, retrieving data and logs, adjusting calculation parameters,

    responding to alarms, and performing

    transducer calibrations.

    Host Software. Host software can, from a

    remote location, collect and organize the data

    or data logs being produced by the Spectra100

    it can be developed by the customer to meet specific needs.

    This manual provides instructions on how to use the local interface software, SpectraCom,

    The Spectra100 is powered by a 4 to 15-volt DC

    connection. The input voltage on pins 1 and 3 of Connector J2 should not exceed 15 volts to

    avoid conduction by the input clamping diodes

    (D4 and D28). The battery voltage as measured between pins 1 (positive) and 2 (negative) on

    Connector J2 is available as a data point which

    can be read as a Modbus register and generate an alarm if less than the programmable alarm

    value.

    various jumper connections on the treatment of

    Significant updates were made to the

    Spectra100 firmware, creating a more powerful and reliable product. However, these revisions

    cause some incompatibilities between the 1.x

    firmware and the SpectraCom software, version 2.1 (or later).

    For example, because the calibration tables changed from the 1.x firmware to the 2.0 (or

    later) firmware, SpectraCom 2.1 (or later) will

    not be able to calibrate units running 1.x firmware. Thus, it is necessary to upgrade all

    flow computers with the 2.0 (or later) firmware

    so that one version of SpectraCom can support

    all units. SpectraCom 2.1 (or later) will allow you to collect logs and configuration data from

    the 1.x firmware unit before upgrading. The

    collected configuration can then be converted for use with the new firmware.

    Future releases of firmware will not have these incompatibilities.

    Once SpectraCom has connected to the flow computer, proceed to the next step.

    If SpectraCom does not connect to the flow

    computer, verify the cable connections and

    the port settings for the flow computers local port. Go back to Step 2 and repeat the

    process.

    6. Collect log data for each flow computer and

    save to disk.

    (a) Click the Upload menu on the main window.

    SpectraCom creates the default

    filenames by appending the Location ID

    and Meter ID to the type of log being collected. The example dialog box above

    shows the default filenames for a flow

    computer that has a Location ID of 0 and a Meter ID of 1.

    If more than one flow computer have

    identical Location IDs and Meter IDs,

    then you must either:

    Change at least one of the IDs.

    Change the filenames to a unique

    name via this dialog box. SpectraCom

    the configuration so that it can be converted

    and downloaded, thus preserving all configuration and calibration data.

    If the unit is not configured or calibrated,

    then skip this step. The unit will then start

    up with the factory defaults for the firmware version being installed.

    The Spectra100 board contains a configuration

    switch, S1, which affects how the flow

    computer restarts (see Section A.3.1 for the switch specifications). S1-P1 (switch S1, dip

    position 1) controls whether the unit cold or

    warm starts. The default position is off, which results in a warm start.

    The implications of a cold or a warm start depend upon the organization of the

    Spectra100 memory. The Spectra100 uses two

    types of memory:

    RAM, where data is lost when power is

    removed

    FLASH, where data is not lost when power is removed

    Each memory type, RAM or FLASH, maintains two functions:

    $ #

    (

    (

  • "#:+! ,$ ,"$ $ +* 10'&' #( ) program memory, which stores the sequences of operations to be performed

    configuration memory, which stores the

    information specifying the data to be

    operated on and the tables of information to be displayed

    A section of the RAM backed-up by the on-board lithium battery stores all archived data.

    When the flow computer is restarted in any mode, the program memory is copied from

    FLASH to RAM and subsequent operation uses

    the RAM. This enables recovery from any corruption of the program memory.

    During a warm start, the configuration memory is not affected. The unit will continue

    operation, using the data stored in the

    configuration memory just before the restart occurred. Any current accumulated values and

    online changes that have not been saved into a

    SpectraCom file will be preserved. This is the normal method for seamlessly resuming

    operation. Note that a warm start is required

    when an online data change, such as a change in baud rate, affects an operational parameter;

    a warm start must be performed in order for

    that change to take effect.

    During a cold start, the configuration files are

    copied from FLASH and replace any currently

    accumulated totals as well as any online changes made to the configuration files since

    the last SpectraCom configuration download.

    Therefore, a cold start is used to recover from extreme situations, such as a faulty online

    change or a corrupted database.

    Occasionally, you will want to clear all internal data such as the accumulated values, active

    alarms, alarm logs, contract logs, and event

    logs. This is desirable when moving a unit from one location to another or when changing the

    log configuration (otherwise, a log could contain

    mixed data formats). S1-P2, when placed in the on position, will clear this internal data.
