 Accurate
We hope that your experience with the EPLUS-TS Flow Computer will be a simple pleasant experience,
not intimidating in any way.
The EPLUS-TS Flow computer is using metering systems for wells and specific procedures to determine
the percentage of hydrocarbon and associated fluids to attribute to a well, when compared to the total
production from the entire affected reservoir, production system or gathering system.
One Rosemount multi-variable digital transducers is connected to each EPLUS-TS flow computer for
temperature, pressure (up to 3626 PSIG), and DP (up to 830 inches H 2O).
The EPLUS-TS flow Computer has a host of inputs and outputs beyond the built in Rosemount Multi
Variable transmitter.
Two turbine inputs. (Greater than 3 volts).
One analog output
One RS232/RS485
Optional additional RS232
One status inputs and two digital outputs can be configured.
Graphic screen: 128 x 64.
Additionally, each EPLUS-TS Flow Computer can store up to and 8 daily data and last Well test Chart or
192 hourly data. Optional expandable memory (Virtual Hard Drive) up to 132 Megs, combined with our
customized data storage allows almost any type data logging task to become possible.
Note: Flow equations used are continuously upgraded and new equations are added.

RS-485 Connection
The main serial port can be configured to RS-232 or RS-485. RS-232 is the default value.
For RS485/232 converter, Dynamic recommends B&B Electronics. We generally use Model
485D9TB which is a port power converter requiring only a 2-Wire connection. The
485D9TB has a terminal block which makes the wiring more convenient and provides the
option of external 12V power for low power serial ports. Model 485SD9R can also be used
but it has a DB9 terminal which requires additional cables. With Model 485SD9R the pins
that connect to the flow computer are pin 3 on the DB9 to TX on the flow computer and
pin 8 on the DB9 goes to RX on the flow computer.
For a USB to RS485 converter we recommend Model USTL4 which is also port powered
and supports half and full duplex networks
Note: RS-485 twisted shielded cable is required. The maximum distance when
18-gauge wire is used is 4000 feet.
WARNING: When the RS-485 terminal is used, external transient protection and optical
isolation is required, especially for long distance wiring.

Multi-Variable Transmitters (Model 205) –Temperature
RTD Calibration is a 2-step process. The first step is an one time procedure to
verify transducer linearity and is done at the time the meter is being setup. The
second step is the routine calibration sequence.
Step 1 – Linearity Verification
1. Use a Decade box with 0-150 °F settings.
2. Connect RTD cable to this resistive element for verification of linearity.
Verify low and high points. It must be within ½ degree.
3. Connect the actual RTD element and compare with a certified thermometer.
4. If not within ½ degree do a Full Calibration (See Full Calibration below). If
problem persists verify other elements such as RTD Probe, connections, shield,
conductivity of connectors, etc.
The purpose of the above procedure is to verify zero and span and make sure
that the two points fall within the expected tolerance.
Step 2 – Routine Calibration
Once Linearity has been verified through Step 1, the routine calibration procedure
is reduced to simply connecting the actual RTD and doing an offset point
calibration (see offset calibration below).
Calibration after that will be simple verification for the stability of the transmitter.
If it drifts abnormally then you need to verify the other parts involved.

Switch Output Assignment
Switch Output#1 is not available and is set be used as Water meter frequency
OUTPUT AND PULSE OUTPUT WIDTH
Pulse Output is used to activate a sampler or external totalizer. The number selected will be pulses per unit
volume or per unit mass. If 0.1 pulse is selected, the one pulse will be given every 10 unit volumes has
passed through the meter.
Pulse Output Width is the duration, in milliseconds, of one complete pulse cycle (where each cycle is the
pulse plus a wait period, in a 50/50 ratio). For example: if POW = 500 msec, the EPLUS Flow Computer
at most can produce one pulse each second regardless of the pulse per unit volume selected (500 msec
pulse + 500 msec wait). If POW = 10 msec the EPLUS Flow Computer can produce up to 50 pulses per
second.
The EPLUS Flow Computer’s maximum pulse output is 125 pulses/sec. The Pulse Output in combination
with the Pulse Output Width should be set appropriately.

ERROR CHECK
LRC MO DE
The LRC check is transmitted as two ASCII hexadecimal characters. First, the message has to be stripped
of the: LF, CR, and then converted the HEX ASCII to Binary. Add the Binary bits and then two's
complement the result.
CR C MO D E
The entire message is considered in the CRC mode. Most significant bit is transmitted first. The message is
pre-multiplied by 16. The integer quotient digits are ignored and the 16-bit remainder is appended to the
message as the two CRC check bytes. The resulting message including the CRC, when divided by the
same polynomial (X16+X15+X2+1) at the receiver, which will give zero remainder if no error, has
occurred.
EXCEPTION RESPONSE
Exception response comes from the slave if it finds errors in communication. The slave responds to the
master echoing the slave address, function code (with high bit set), exception code and error check. To
indicate that the response is notification of an error, the high order bit of the function code is set to 1.

Appendix A: Radio Board Manual
Introduction
Our Radio Interface board with battery charger was designed after careful listening to our customers in all
sectors of the oil and gas industry. It was built to address the different wireless connection needs for
refineries, chemical plants, gas processing plants, offshore platforms, pipeline and transmission, remote gas
wells, and storage caverns. The focus has been to bring the different needs and requirements of these
specialized industries into one hardware platform and therefore reducing the spare parts requirements, the
training process, calibration, and overall cost of ownership. We believe this interface board, with all its
multiple wireless modules has delivered and met the design intentions.
The product combines the following features:
 Simple and Reliable
 Flexible and able to use either 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz, GSM, CDMA and WiFi Modules
 Easy to understand and configure
 Rugged and designed to industrial specifications
 Economical to install and maintain
We hope that your experience with our products will be a simple pleasant experience, not intimidating in
any way.
The Radio interface board can handle three different socket modules.
 A 900 MHz radio module for long distance radio links.
 A 2.4 GHz radio module ideal for short range radio links.
 A socket modem that can be either GSM or CDMA. Ideal to access remote locations using
existing cellular network infrastructure. The modem can be also WiFi which can take advantage of
existing wireless networks.
In addition the board provides power to external devices which allow the user to connect other radios. It
also has a shutdown input to turn the radio On/Off to improve power management on top of the smart
battery charger included on the board to extend the life of the battery pack and take advantage of the power
coming from external supplies.

Wiring of Shutdown Input




If the shutdown pin is not wired the radio is always ON.
Because the Radio board and the flow computer share the same electrical ground
only one wire is needed. In the event each device uses different power supplies
then the ground of both devices must be tied together.
The picture below shows an EChart flow computer using Switch Output 1 for
shutdown but any switch output can be used.
Remember to configure the switch output to manage the power on the radio
board.

Wiring of RTS/CTS Input






The CTS pin allows us to optimize power consumption of the radio module using
the RS-232 RTS Hardware handshake line.
For optimal power saving use the Shutdown pin shown above, for power radio
power saving only use the CTS option.
If the CTS pin (Pin 6) is not wired the radio is always ON.
Because the Radio board and the flow computer share the same electrical ground
only one wire is needed. In the event each device uses different power supplies
then the ground of both devices must be tied together.
The picture below shows an EChart flow computer as an example but any model
can be used.
Remember to configure the RTS line output to manage the power on the radio
board.

Wiring of Voltage Output
 Remove power from the interface board
 In the event none of the three radio modules fits the application, the interface
board can still be used to power an external radio and turn it ON/OFF via the
shutdown pin.
 Wire terminal 10 to the positive terminal on the external device.
 Wire terminal 2 to the negative terminal on the external device.
 Configure the jumper for the desired voltage output:
Jumper
JP2 with Link on pins 1 & 2
JP2 with Link on pins 2 & 3
Output
Supply voltage (whatever is applied to terminals 1 & 2)
With Jumper JP1 OFF
3.3 VDC
With Jumper JP1 ON

Explosion Proof External Antenna Conection
Since the radio in enclosed by an explosion proof metal housing using an internal antenna would yield a
very short range thus an external antenna is required. In order to fit an external antenna to an internal radio
an approved explosion proof connection must be made and that is the purpose of the explosion proof
coaxial coupler.
