MODEL 2234 DIGITAL FLOW COMPUTER ___________________________

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

The Model 2234 Flowmaster Digital Flow Computer is a microprocessor based

instrument which is used with differential head meters to measure and display flow

rate and compensated total flow.

This manual covers software revisions for Daniel Model 2234 flow computers. The

Model 2234 is a mass flow computer for use with orifice meters. Additionally, the

density of vapor phase ethylene is computed per API-2565.

The Software revisions include:

· Delete flow calculations and all operator access (read codes, command codes,

error codes) associated with 1969 revision of standard AGA-3.

· Add flow calculations for mass flow computations in accordance with the

1991 revision of MPMS Chapter 14.3 (ANSI/API 2530, AGA-3). This

includes all read codes, command codes, and error codes.

· Add computation of viscosity for ethylene.

__________________________ MODEL 2234 DIGITAL FLOW COMPUTER

1.1.1 CHANGES

It is intended that Model 2230 Series functionality be maintained. Intermediate

calculations will have read code assignments and default to the "VAR" mode. If

operators desire to override a particular calculation, the read code is put into the

"FXD" mode.

The startup prompting is modified to add entry information required for compliance

with the new measurement standard. For example, there will no longer be a

selection for "TAPTYPE". There will be entries for thermal expansion coefficients

for both the orifice plate and meter tube.

The 800 and 900 series Read Codes will be unchanged in functionality regarding

display of Mass Rates and Mass Totals both for individual lines and Station Totals.

An operator selection for TAPLOC is included. If downstream taps are selected

the Model 2234 will compute upstream pressure based upon differential pressure.

Only the upstream expansion factor will be computed.

A keyboard entry for isentropic exponent is included.

The Model 2234 operator interface consists of a 24-key control keyboard for

entering data and functions and an eight character alpha-numeric display. The

operator interface permits the operator to enter, inspect, and change measurement

parameters; the operator may enter deviation/alarm limits related to critical

transducer values, flow rates and totals. Optionally, totalized volume also may be

displayed on a six-digit electro-mechanical counter on the instrument front panel.

MODEL 2234 DIGITAL FLOW COMPUTER ___________________________

1.1.2 HARDWARE

The computer is contained in a standard Daniel Industries, Inc. industrial housing

which is 4-inches wide by 8-1/16 inches high by 21-5/16 inches long. These

dimensions include an externally mounted 24 VDC or 115/230 VAC power supply

at the rear of the unit.

It is intended and anticipated that the software described herein will be installed in

a large number of existing computers in the field. To minimize field difficulty, no

hardware changes are to be required for existing computers originally built as

Model 2234-XX3. That is, there will be 4k of RAM on board #1 and the software

will reside in the 2716 EPROM. Existing computers originally built as Model

2234-XX1 will require an upgrade of board #1 to include full RAM capability and

board #2 will of necessity be replaced.

All hardware I/O assignments are to remain unchanged from the current program

"FULLETH" P/N 8-2230-008, Rev.L. This requirement is also to minimize impact

on instruments in service.
