  1. ROC800-Series Remote Operations Controller The Solution to Field Automation Problems

  2. Building on Our Reputation for Solving Problems • The ROC family of Remote Operations Controllers has established an industry benchmark for flexibility, robustness, ease of use and reliability. • The ROC800-Series builds upon this reputation with new features, benefits and technology that make it the preferred choice for your most demanding remote measurement and control applications.

  3. An RTU, EFM, and PLC in One • The ROC800-Series was designed to solve many of the problems that limit the performance, reliability, and flexibility of traditional RTUs, EFMs, and PLCs. • You have in a single device, the: • Ruggedness and low power consumption of an RTU • Audit trails and historical data of an Electronic Flow Computer • The scalability, speed and control of a PLC. • RTU • EFM • PLC

  4. Unparalleled Applications Flexibility • The ROC800-Series is ideal for field applications where the monitoring, measurement and control of processes and equipment are required. • Some of the more popular applications include: • Gas production • Fiscal metering • Compressor stations • Offshore platforms • Small gas processing operations • Water and wastewater facilities • Tank farms • Boilers and chillers.

  5. ROC809 The ROC809 Features 9 Expansion Slots • The ROC800-Series is comprised of the ROC809 and ROC827. • The ROC809 features a fixed backplane and offers nine slots for I/O and communication modules. • Additional I/O can be added by networking ROC809 units.

  6. Outstanding Functionality High performance CPU and real-time operating system IEC61131-3 compliant programming • Sophisticated PID loop control • Distributed architecture • Flexible logic and sequencing control Fast, accurate AGA flow calculations • Broad communications capability Fill-in-the-blanks configuration

  7. Field-Ready Hardware • Rugged I/O and communication modules feature fuseless protection • DIN rail mounting tabs make installation easy • Generous wiring raceways with covers keep wiring neat • Modular ABS housing resists corrosion • Field wiring terminals plug-in for easy module removal • Reliable operation over a wide temperature range • I/O and communication modules can be removed and replaced under power • Low power -- draws less than 70 ma at 12 VDC (base unit)

  8. Performance Problems Solved • Traditional RTUs lack the processing speed and capacity to handle control jobs requiring extremely fast response, like those performed by PLCs. • The ROC800-Series closes this performance gap by using the Motorola® PowerPC® (MPC862) 32-bit microprocessor as its engine. • Not only is the MPC862 fast, but it is designed for telecommunications and networking giving it a real edge over most PLCs.

  9. Application Integration Hardware Support Meter Runs Historical Database Events & Alarms MODBUS PID FST IEC-61131 ROC800 Protocol User C Environment IO Module Interface IO Execution Communications Pre-emptive, multi-tasking, message-based architecture Real-Time Operating System Performance Problems Solved • The ROC800-Series uses a real-time, multi-tasking operating system designed specifically for the kind of measurement and control tasks encountered in field applications. • This operating system has proven its robustness in industrial control, telecommunications and avionics applications.

  10. Performance Problems Solved • The high power consumption of PLCs often limits their use to factory applications. Low power consumption for remote operation was a key design goal of the ROC800-Series. • In addition to using low-power components, extensive use is made of the "sleep" modes provided by the CPU. • Sleep modes shut down operations when they are not needed, such as certain software tasks, and they control power to devices such as LEDs.

  11. I/O Problems Solved • Interfacing to end devices can be the weakest link in a measurement and control system. Problems related to grounding, wiring errors, electrical noise, and transients are commonplace. • The ROC800-Series solves many of these problems because we’ve designed its I/O and communications modules with accuracy, ruggedness and survivability in mind.

  12. I/O Problems Solved • Plug-in I/O modules make extensive use of optical (electrical) isolation, transient suppression, and current limiting to improve reliability and virtually eliminate failures related to power, grounding and wiring errors. • I/O modules are isolated from the backplane to minimize cross-card failures. The benefits of this protection are less downtime, fewer trips to the field for repairs, and reduced spares inventory.

  13. I/O Problems Solved • The HART interface module supports HART-compatible smart instrumentation, increasing the number of instruments that can be connected to the ROC800-Series. • In addition, It supports the transfer of diagnostic information from smart devices to the ROC800-Series.

  14. I/O Problems Solved • I/O modules can be plugged into the module slots in any order and combination of module types. • An extensive range of I/O types are supported by the ROC800-Series giving it great flexibility in handling a broad range of applications.

  15. Communication Problems Solved • Modern automation systems place increasingly greater demands on the communications capabilities of field equipment. • We designed the ROC800-Series to blend into almost any system environment by virtue of its wide range of communications and networking options.

  16. Communication Problems Solved • With the Ethernet capability of the ROC800-Series, you can effectively extend your company’s local area network (LAN) to the field. You get more data at a lower cost than with conventional communications methods. • When coupled with our DS800 Development Suite, Ethernet makes it possible to network ROC800s, giving you tremendous I/O and control capabilities for large applications.

  17. Communication Problems Solved • In addition to an Ethernet port, the ROC800-Series has two built-in EIA-232 (RS-232) ports, one typically used for communications to a PC-based local operator interface, and one for communication to other devices. • Three additional ports can be added using plug-in Communication Modules.

  18. Communication Problems Solved • An outstanding feature of the ROC800-Series is its Spontaneous Report-by-Exception (SRBX) Data Transmission capability. • A host computer can poll the ROC800-Series at a user-specified time interval, or the unit can initiate a transmission when certain alarm conditions occur. • SRBX can greatly reduce communication system loading and related costs.

  19. Application Problems Solved • The problem with many RTUs, PLCs and flow computers is their inability to meet a wide range of applications common to field installations. • The ROC800-Series addresses this problem with a comprehensive applications package that supports a wide range of metering and control needs. • The package builds upon the outstanding features proven in tens of thousands of ROC300 series installations worldwide. AGA calculations PID loop control Logic Control Sequencing Control

  20. Application Problems Solved • The power of the ROC800-Series is demonstrated by the number of processes that it can handle simultaneously with a small amount of I/O. • For example, 12 Meter Runs and 16 Control Loops can be managed by the ROC800-Series using only two multi-variable sensor ports and 16 analog outputs.

  21. Application Problems Solved • The ROC800-Series gas calculations meet these standards: • API Chapter 21 Section 1 • AGA 3 - orifice metering • AGA 7 (ISO 9951) - turbine metering • AGA 8 (ISO 12213-2,3) - compressibility • ISO 5167 - orifice metering (liquids) • API 12 - turbine metering (liquids). • Setting up meter runs is fast and easy with fill-in-the-blanks configuration that requires only minimal knowledge of flow calculations.

  22. Application Problems Solved • A new feature introduced by the ROC800-Series is the Meter Station, which makes it easy to configure and operate multiple meter runs with similar properties. • Meter Stations also reduce communications overhead and reduce data entry when configuring multiple meter runs. • The ROC800-Series can handle up to 12 meter runs, and runs can be grouped in up to 12 Meter Stations.

  23. Application Problems Solved • The ROC800-Series provides outstanding PID loop control capability that rivals that found in dedicated process controllers. The control firmware incorporates: • Pre-configured templates for basic PID loop control • Up to 16 PID control loops each with override support • Support for both analog and discrete control devices. • In addition, special loop control strategies can be implemented using the extensive programming capabilities of the ROC800-Series.

  24. Application Problems Solved • The ROC800-Series provides you with Function Sequence Table (FST) control. • You construct control strategies by choosing from logic, math, comparison, time-related, control-related, database and general command sets. • Current ROC300 users can run their FSTs on the ROC800-Series with only minor modifications.

  25. Programming Problems Solved • To fully exploit the capabilities of the ROC800-Series, you don’t need to be a programming expert. • We’ve assembled programming tools that make almost anyone look like an expert. And all tools are Microsoft® Windows®-based for ease of use.

  26. Programming Problems Solved • The optional DS800 Development Suite lets you create control strategies using any of 6 programming languages. • Five are IEC 61131-3 graphical languages: • sequential function chart • function block diagram • ladder diagram • structured text • instruction list. • A graphical flow chart language is also provided.

  27. Programming Problems Solved • DS800 provides a standard programming interface that lets people with different backgrounds and skills create different elements of a program. When completed, all elements will work together seamlessly. • For example, if you program PLCs, DS800 lets you create programs in ladder logic. And, if your background is process control, you can create programs using Function Block diagrams.

  28. Programming Problems Solved • User C/C++ Programming capability allows experienced programmers to implement control strategies in the ROC800-Series. • We provide a library of commands that allow you use off-the-shelf programming tools to interface to the ROC800’s database. • The User C/C++ support for the ROC800-Series was developed so programmers do not need an extensive knowledge of the firmware architecture.

  29. Configuration Problems Solved • The ROC800-Series uses our Microsoft® Windows®- based ROCLINK 800 software package to perform configuration and data retrieval functions. • These functions can be performed on-site, or remotely through virtually any communications link.
