  1. Metro Gas Real Time Measurement Solution Presented by RockPoint Automation Inc. and Comgas-Consultores Bringing Automated Measurement Systems to the World

  2. The following presentation is a high level outline of the Metrogas project executables, technical data and proposed system architectural layout. Installing Controlwave Micro RTU’s at each distribution station. The proposed RTU's have an optional 10/100 Mb Ethernet I/P port and have the ability to Calculate flow rates, hourly and daily volumes and it can easily handle all other associate computation tasks required to provide RTM measurement data transfer. Control Wave Designer programming software supports all five IEC 61131-3 programming languages and is enhanced with a powerful library of ACCOL III process control function blocks allowing the use of a single controller for logic, process control functions, measurement, calculations and data storage. Engineers can also develop their own reusable function blocks, further reducing engineering time and cost. These capabilities are further enhanced with time stamped alarming and historical archive storage within the PLC/RTU itself to provide maximum data integrity. The following presentation flow diagrams demonstrate the architectural proposed layout and System functionality.

  3. The Control Wave Micro offers exceptional flexible communication capability with up to Eleven Programmable serial ports. Optional built-in spread spectrum radios and worldwide dial-line modems offer convenient integration and communication choice flexibility. The solution presented for communication would be to use CDMA cellular wireless service in the area if it is available and a TCP/IP connection instead of a typical serial connection to utilize maximum data transfer speeds. Collected Station Information Data Transfer Archiving The data collected by the Harvester Utility is stored in files at the PC workstation. These files can be converted to a variety of formats using the Open BSI Data File Conversion Utility, making them accessible to other programs. This information can then be utilized throughout the organization in the required program format required for the areas of operation. Comma Separated Variable format (CSV) - for use in Microsoft® Excel ODBC - for use in Microsoft® Access Open Enterprise database Coastal Flow Measurement's Flow-Cal™ package

  4. System Protocol and Data Collection The protocol from Field to Office will be Bristol BSAP. This enables easy data transfer of Lists, Arrays, Archives and Audit trails that can be archived, printed and used by both daily pipeline operations for system surveillance and nomination purposes and data accounting personnel for custody transfer billing. Operations field technicians will also be able to use the same software (Netview and Dataview) to communicate locally to the RTU’s for on-site troubleshooting and archiving of station volumes alarms etc. Data Retrieval Field device to Control Center or Office The data would be polled from a central location using Bristol’s Data Harvester Utility located on a designated desktop computer. The data would then be Converted to SAP usable data by using Bristol’s Conversion Utility. This utility can be used to format data into CSV (Excel) or ODBC (Access). This utility would also be installed on the designated desktop computer. Extra Ports in Control wave for “REMOTE ACCESS” could also be programmed to allow remote access for trouble shooting if the communication system will allow for it.

  5. Data Collection Data can be collected at scheduled intervals (e.g. hourly) or at a specified set of up to ten times during the day, or based on a pre-defined collection scheme which takes into account various factors affecting communications such as time scan length. The ten specified times are an exception to the RTM hourly data register poll using Data Harvester

  9. Software Requirements and Deliverables The Following Software will be required for the system to be fully integrated and have the capability to be polled or scanned station by station at a pre-configured time schedule. This software will also be required to change the data information stream transfer programmable language into a SAP friendly program to reduce the need for manual data entry that will reduce the human risk data entry error. This standard industry software will be customized to fit the current Metrogas system requirements as well as allow for future upgrades and developments.

  10. OpenBSI Utility Packages Three basic OpenBSI Utilities packages are available to offer the optimum functionality to technicians, engineers and operators: BSI Config - Designed for technician set-up and configuration of all Bristol RTU,PLC, Flow Computer, controller and 3808 transmitter products. It provides local connection to the device to be configured and supports: Localview/Netview for local connection to Bristol products Set-up and configuration of ControlWave, 33XX, 3530 TeleProducts and 3808 MVT transmitters TeleProducts web pages & ActiveX controls Firmware flash-download of all flash-based products Hardware diagnostics Supports BSAP and IP networks Software Utilities Definitions

  11. OpenBSI Local Edition - Designed for technicians and engineers. Includes all of the set-up features of BSI Config and provides additional functionality for a higher level interface. Additional utilities include: DataViewer for access to real-time and historical access Communication Statistics ACCOL and ControlWave Designer file downloaders TeleProduct web pages ActiveX Controls for custom web pages OpenBSI Network Edition - Designed for engineers and operators. Includes all Of the capabilities of the Local Edition but allows global, network-wide access to all products. Additional utilities include: NetView for global, network-wide access to real-time & historical data, programming and operator HMI Network tuning wizard BSAP to IP redirector Backup communication lines Alarm Router Support for Harvester, OPC Server and Object Server

  12. This window pane can display either a list of the active nodes (controllers for which collections are occurring right now) or a list of nodes which are in Maintenance Mode, or a list of nodes which are experiencing communication problems, or any current Harvester debugging messages. You can select which items are displayed either from icons in the tool bar or from the menu bar selection. Data Harvester Main Screen

  16. The proposed Metrogas measurement system upgrade, is a system that all components have been used and proven in the context that they have been presented during this presentation. The time frame required for full completion of this proposed upgrade including the following action items. Procurement of all equipment not including any electrical or civil works that must be done at the stations or Control Center to allow for the installation of new equipment. Installation, commissioning ( We propose FAT and SAT testing would be completed at the same time onsite to reduce man hours required to perform the same testing sequences and would include vendor personnel) Working with the Client Representatives a complete roles and responsibility flow chart will be constructed including a complete scope of work document before the actual work commences. This would include all company related HS&E and O&M policies and procedures to ensure a safe and productive work environment. Working with the Client Representatives a priority list of stations would be generated and used as the working guide. Working with the Client Representatives a training program will be centered around Metrogas technical personnel onsite assisting with installation, programming commissioning and testing. (This will be a intergraded hands on training program) A completed Client approved training program will be completed after the system is online and fully operational. The extended Training program will be considered part of the project scope and be included in the actual project costs and be delivered by qualified personnel.
