Prosoft MVI56E-AFC Enhanced Liquid & Gas Flow Computer for ControlLogix®

ProSoft Technology’s MVI56E-AFC in-chassis flow computer solution allows you

to combine the power and scalability of a ControlLogix® automation system with

the functionality typically only seen in a stand-alone flow computers or dedicated

measurement RTU’s. This provides you with the industry standard calculations,

archiving, and reporting needed for custody transfer and allocation-based

measurement functions for Oil and Gas operations.

By combining automation and measurement functions into a single solution, this

helps to reduce overall support and integration costs for Oil and Gas

applications while also decreasing your overall capital spend. This simplified

solution allows you to optimize your resources.

In addition, because our flow computer sits in a ControlLogix system, you can

take advantage of Rockwell Automation’s distributed I/O capability, wide range

of communications protocols, and ProSoft’s wireless radios to greatly reduce

wiring to your transmitters and I/O devices.

Since the module operates as a co-processor for measurement related functions

to the ControlLogix system, and as measurement requirements of the site grow,

you can simply add an additional MVI56E-AFC module to increase your

measurement capabilities to an individual site. A truly scalable automation and

measurement solution.

Features

 Meter Runs: The module can calculate up to 16 meter runs simultaneously

with a maximum of 16 streams on a single meter run

(64 streams maximum per module shared among all 16-meter runs).

This flexibility provides a cost-effective, highly scalable solution for all your

measurement applications.

 Modbus® Capabilities: Remote configuration and diagnostics via Ethernet

(Modbus TCP/IP) or Serial (Modbus) interfaces.

Flexible serial port configurations allow for either two Modbus slave ports or

one Modbus slave and one Modbus Master port. All

data, including configuration, calculated results, and historical archives, are

available using either the Modbus TCP/IP server or Modbus slave serial ports.

 Customized Modbus Data Mapping: Remapping to a virtual slave enables

data concentration, reducing bandwidth load on the communication system.

 Auditability: Our configuration software provides the ability to download

and view archives and events. Audit Scan captures process inputs and

calculated results as "snapshots”, allowing verification of calculations.

The Log files record significant events and alarms. Hourly and daily archives

are configurable historical records of user-selected data. 

The data can be viewed online, printed, or saved to a file in .txt or .csv format.

Archive data can be exported to Flow-Cal .cfx format. Meter calibration and

verification are stored on the module.

 Meter Proving: Allows for meter proving with 3 configurable prover types.

 Security: Password protection schemes are available to control user access

and log meter calibration and verification activities.

A built-in web server allows local/remote configuration, monitoring, and wireless

network diagnostics.
