Flow Computer Timing 1200 Baud FCU TIMING 4 seconds FCU LISTEN CYCLE = 4 SECONDS 400 m secs. 2 seconds FCU LISTEN CYCLE = 2 SECONDS 400 m secs. 1 second FCU LISTEN CYCLE = 1 SECOND 400 m secs.
Flow Computer Listen Cycle -VS- Baud Rate 225 m SEC. 4 SECOND LISTEN TIME AT 2400 BAUD 138 m SEC. 4 SECOND LISTEN TIME AT 4800 BAUD 94 m SEC. 4 SECOND LISTEN TIME AT 9600 BAUD
Standard Protocol FCU AND CCU TIMING 4 Seconds FCU Listen Cycle = 4 Seconds 400 msec. 4-5 Seconds CCU Transmission Time
Packet Protocol • Allows packetizing of data, so remote and host communications can be more efficient in dealing with bad portions of a data transmission especially using radios • Similar to other file transfer protocols
Packet Protocol Overview • FCU transmit packet can be 1,2 or 4 Kbytes determined by WinCCU • FCU internal data blocks can be 128,256,512 or 1024 bytes determined by host software Data Block within packet Transmit Packet
Example of Packet Protocol Transmission Host sends request frame (Can ask for multiple records in one request) Remote reads the request from host Remote builds response packet(s) and sends first one Host will either ACK the transmission, NACK and request entire packet be sent again or NACK and specify bad data blocks within packet Remote will either send next packet, re-transmit bad packets from previoustransmission or if complete, return tonormal processing
Modbus Protocol • Master/Slave protocol, using AAI’s implementation of Gould’s Modbus • RTU (binary) or ASCII available • Register map grouping based on data type (example) • 110-172 = User configurable register group • 1001-1047 = Boolean register group
Modbus Continued • 7001-7154 = Floating point register group • 11001-11970 = Log period register group • 12001-12200 = Event Records • 10001-10050 = Daily record register group • Starting group addresses can bechanged by the user • All FCU data is accessible
Communication Systems Typical VHF, UHF or MAS System Modem Communication Base or Repeater Tower Cellular Remote Sites Some systems require a mix of remote devices
Examples Using Multiple Protocols in a System Using Modbus to retrieve historical, alarms and status information Com.# 1 Radio Com Port #1 Com.# 2 One Com. Port using Totalflow Protocol and second using Totalflow Modbus Com Port #2 Hardwire into Plant for operational information Advantage: Allows two different host packages to retrieve information from remote device
