Static precautions
Some parts of the instrument (such as circuit boards) may be damaged by static electricity.
Therefore, when carrying out any work which involves the risk of static damage to the instrument,
the instructions show the following notice:
At such times you must wear an earthed wrist-strap to protect the instrument.
Safety information
NOTE: This information applies only to those instruments which are mains-powered.
Electricity is dangerous and you risk injury or death if you do not disconnect the power supplies
before carrying out some of the procedures given in this manual. Whenever there is such a
hazard, the instructions show a notice similar to the following:
The PCB Number and Status Number associated with this enhancement are as follows:79510502L (Status L or later):
79510502G (Status G or later):
As a result of that memory increase, it is essential that the Lithium Cell used for the battery
backup is installed at all times (other than during replacement). 7951/7951 units will not
power-up correctly if this battery is missing. (7955 and 7952 models are not affected)
If it is necessary to run the units without batteries for Intrinsic Safety reasons, then the battery
should be replaced with a shorting disk inserted in the battery holder. Please consult Solartron
for further advice.
Replace the battery when the "Low Battery" system alarm is indicated. The procedure is
explained in this manual. (See Chapter 14)

2. Getting started
2.1 What this Chapter tells you
This chapter shows how to:
Connect different types of instrumentation to a 7951 that is fitted with the D-type rear panel.
Set the DIP switches in the 7951.
Select the appropriate software Wizard to configure the 7951.
Important Warnings!!
1. The 795X series is not intrinsically safe and, therefore, can only be used
in officially designated safe (non-hazardous) areas.
2. All examples of connections in this manual are designed to be attempted
in a non-hazardous area.
3. Hazardous area considerations are outside the scope of this manual.
Always refer to installation documentation supplied by the manufacturer
for their instrumentation.
Each worked example has a comprehensive set of instructions to establish a successful physical
connection. Instructions also show how to select the correct software Wizard.
Some types of connection require DIP switches to be set. These internal switches are located on
the processor board (mA/PRT analogue inputs) and the power supply board (8V/16V turbine).
Worked examples explain when to set a DIP switch. Newer models of the 7951 have DIP switch
access holes on top of the housing. Older models require the removal of the housing.
Note that:
DIP switches which are not shown in the diagrams have no effect on the field transmitter
shown.
Where a field transmitter can be connected to more than one analogue input, the DIP
switch setting depends on which input you have used.

Use the Health Check facility on the 7951 to monitor what is being input. Refer to Chapter 13 to
find out how to locate this facility using the 7951 menu system. Once located, select the particular
type of input and then select the instance of that input to see what is happening.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
There are complete pin designation lists at the end of this Chapter. Note that the
signal pins of analogue inputs 1 4 are labelled with the term PRT. These
particular pins have a dual role - PRT or mA. Setting a DIP switch (belonging to
an analogue input) will determine the function.
Care is needed when preparing to use any of the first four analogue inputs with a
loop powered (0-20mA or 4-20mA) field transmitters:
Ensure that the DIP switch on the processor board is set for mA (per analogue
input used)
Ensure that only the analogue power pins are used. The reason for this is that
PRT power is only applied when a measurement is required and, therefore, not
suitable for loop powered mA devices .
Example: 2 cells connected to analogue inputs 1 and 2. Cells are powered by 7951 (24V isolated
supply).
Follow these instructions to work through the example:
Turn off the power
2. Ensure that the DIP switch for analogue input 1 is set for mA.
3. Ensure that the DIP switch for analogue input 2 is set for mA.
4. Wire the first cell to analogue input 1.

For example, in the case of a 7951 single stream gas turbine flow computer, the software
configuration code is SW511210.
You can find the software version code in two ways:
It is printed on a label inside the instrument. You can find it by removing the terminal cover.

Installation procedure
Briefly, the procedure is:
Step 1: Draw up a wiring schedule
Step 2: Unpack the 7951
Step 3: Set the dip switches
Step 4: Fit the 7951
Step 5: Make all external connections
Step 6: Earth the installation
Step 7: Connect power supply
The steps in the procedure are explained in the following sections.

SW2 switches
The setting of each switch in the SW1 block must be the same as the corresponding pair of
switches in the SW2 block. The 7951 does not work correctly otherwise.
The 7951 is supplied with the dip switches in these default settings:
Turbine power:
Input 1
Inputs 2-4:
8 VOLTS
PRT
4-20mA
SW1
1
4-20mA
PRT
If you want to change the dip switch settings, you must also configure the inputs. This is
explained in Chapter 10. Later models of 7951 have a small hole in the top of the instrument to
allow access to the switches without removing the cover.
After the configuration has been completed (see Chapters 10 and 11), the 7951 should be
switched into the secure mode to prevent unauthorised or accidental tampering with the
instruments configuration.
Note: The 795x is always shipped from Solartron with the security lock on the front panel set to
the non-secure mode.

You must not fit the 7951 where it may be subjected to extreme conditions or be liable
to damage. For further information about the environmental conditions within which it
can operate, see Appendix C.
1. Firstly, referring to the diagram, cut out an aperture in the front panel for each instrument
which is to be mounted on it.

After assembly
You can mount the clamp so that it is fixed permanently or can be removed later, if required. If you
want the clamp to be fixed permanently, carry out Steps 3 - 8. If you want to be able to remove the
clamp, carry out Steps 9 - 12.
If the clamp is to be fixed permanently:
3. Make sure that the face of the front panel is in good condition and has no loose or flaking paint.
Use a suitable de-greasing agent to clean the face of the panel.
4. Insert the location moulding through the aperture in the front panel.
5. Peel the protective strip off the adhesive tape on the face of the mounting clamp. Then, working
from the back of the front panel, carefully position the clamp over the location moulding. The
clamp and panel bond on contact.
6. Press firmly on the area where the clamp is bonded to the front panel to ensure that they are
bonded firmly. Remove the Location Moulding and discard it.
7. Slide the instrument through the front panel. Tighten the two captive screws to secure it into the
clamp.
Note that, if you install more than one instrument, it helps to support them if you use a Mounting Strap
to link each clamp to the next one, as shown in the diagram:

Insert the location moulding through the aperture in the front panel.
10. Working from the back of the front panel, carefully position the clamp over the location
moulding. Remove the Location Moulding and discard it.
11. Slide the instrument through the front panel. Tighten the two captive screws to secure it
into the clamp.
Note that, if you install more than one instrument, it helps to support them if you use a Mounting
Strap to link each clamp to the next one, as shown in the diagram.

Incorrect earthing can cause many problems, so you must earth the chassis
and the electronics correctly. However, the way in which you do this
depends almost entirely on the type of installation you have and the
conditions under which it operates. Therefore, because these instructions
cannot cover every possible situation, the manufacturers recommend that
earthing procedures should only be carried out by personnel who are skilled
in such work.
The chassis of the 7951 must be earthed in all cases; both for safety reasons and to ensure that
the installation complies with EMC regulations. Do this by connecting an earth lead from the stud
on the rear panel to a local safety earth such as a cabinet earth or some other suitable metal
structure.

Note that, when the power is switched on, the alarms may light up. You can ignore these for the
moment - alarms are explained later in this manual. You can now proceed to configure your
7951 (see Chapters 10 and 11).
If the POST fails to complete, switch off the power supply and check all connections and the dip
switch settings. Then re-connect the power supply. If the POST still fails to complete, switch off
again and contact your supplier.

6.4.1 Keys
The shaded keys are keys which:
Lead you on to another menu, (such as keys a - d on the first page of the Main Menu)
Take you on to another page in a multi-page menu (these are always DOWN-ARROW keys,
such as the one next to the first page of the Main menu in the previous example).
Take you back to the previous page in a multi-page menu (these are always UP-ARROW
keys).
6.4.1 Displays
Each display is shown as it appears, except for variables which are shown as text in brackets. For
example:
(Value)
(Units)
(Live or set)
The display actually shows LIVE or SET, whichever applies to that item.

Word swap
Since Modicon did not define 32-bit transfers, the order of the words for a 32-bit value is also not
defined. The 795X provides the facility to choose whether the first or second word is the most
significant. This feature is individually selectable for each port.
795x Op. Man/EA
Page 7.1
Flow totalisers
Since a totalisers value builds continuously to a maximum and then is re-set to 0, this type of
data cannot be transferred in quite the same way as a conventional floating point. The reason is
because of the way in which a floating point number is stored.
A 32-bit floating point number can represent only 7 significant digits. Therefore as the value
grows, less and less digits are available for the fractional part. In addition, 7 digits are not
generally acceptable for a totaliser.
For these reasons, the 795X returns totalisers as 32-bit integers. The fractional part is also
available in a separate register if required.
Supported Commands
The 795X supports two commands:
1. Command 3 - Read multiple registers
2. Command 16 - Write multiple registers
All data stored within the 795X is represented by one or more 16-bit registers. There may be
registers which contain a collection of bits. In this case, a 16-bit register is still used rather than
provide individual bit (coil) access.
Register Addressing
The database in the 795X uses a unique index (i.e. location number) for each parameter.
Although a location number is not normally displayed, pressing the a soft-key when a database
th
variable is displayed, will cause the location number to appear on the 4 line.
MODBUS register numbers are always expressed as the database location number minus 1.
Therefore, a requesting device will ask for MODBUS register 16 in order to read the data in
database location 17.
Virtual slaves
The 795X can respond to more than one MODBUS address on a single port. The address set
for the MODBUS slave function is used for the 795x database. However, it is possible to
configure the 795X to make available the alarm logger, event logger and 2 high speed list
systems on consecutive MODBUS addresses beyond the base address.

Larger and more intricate MODBUS networks are possible. For example, a supervisory system

Introduction
There are three types of information that can be obtained from the 795x database - Data values,
data states and reply data size and type.
Examples are provided for each information type . They show the command (hexadecimal
values) that needs to be transmitted by the MODBUS master and the reply to expect from the
MODBUS slave. Abbreviated meanings are shown, under the transmission and reply lists, to
distinguish the important elements. An analysis of the response from the 795x is provided at the
end of the example.

Overview
Gas Flow Computer software can be set-up to regularly request raw gas composition
information, the calorific value and the specific gravity directly from a Gas Chromatograph.
Retrieved gas data is normalised (against the totalled fractions) and then be forwarded on to
7950/7951 Modbus Slaves for calculations or collection by a Supervisory system.
Requests are first made to the Chromatograph for several status flags (Modbus registers) so that
a brief series of checks can be performed.
Checks:
Has a new gas analysis been completed since the last time raw gas data was obtained?
Is data from that new analysis available for retrieval?
No errors reported by the Chromatograph?
The answer has to be yes to all questions before progressing with a request for new gas data.
Otherwise, the whole cycle re-starts with checking the flags again after a selected, fixed interval.
The following table is a list of raw gas components that can be obtained by a 795X Gas Flow

INTRODUCTION
PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS
Each 795x Slave device is allocated one of the two lists. This is a user-selection and is made when defining
slaves whilst setting up the 795x Master device.
Once lists are programmed, peer-to-peer operations are commenced on the 795x Master by a selecting an
Enable option (soft-command) through a menu data page. For each correctly listed parameter, a value is then
read from the database, incorporated into a MODBUS write command message and transmitted from the 795x
Master device to the database on designated 795x Slave devices.
All peer-to-peer lists, in use, are processed in full during a single machine cycle. This is repeated once every cycle
until peer-to-peer operations are stopped by a disable soft-command.
In a network of two 795x Flow Computers a Master device and a Slave device, the Master is able to detect all
failures to communicate with the slave and it raises a system alarm. With one slave, every MODBUS (write)
command message is explicitly addressed and that solicits a response from that slave. The absence of a response
3
after a period (of retries) is how the Master detects a failure .
In a network of multiple slaves, MODBUS write command messages use an all-slave broadcast address, which
does not solicit any response and, therefore, the Master does not detect a communication failure. In this case, the
system alarm is not raised.
When the system alarm can not be cleared without it re-appearing during the next machine cycle, there are
continuous communication failures. It is advisable to temporarily halt peer-to-peer operations, clear all related
alarms and investigate (and correct) the difficulty before resuming.

1. Ensure that 795x Flow Computers are already interconnected to form a MODBUS network

Guidance on the necessary RS-232 or RS-485 wiring connections is in Chapter 7. Several peer-to-peer
arrangements are shown on page 7a.5.
* On-screen version of a menu data page descriptor includes a digit to identify the directly associated serial port
** A 795x may perform warm restarts if it is configured to use RS-232 when connected to an RS-485 network
*** Abbreviations: P = Port, reg = register, addr = address, char = character, MODB = MODBUS
To avoid the risk of warm restarts, it is advisable to pre-set the signalling standard RS-232 or RS-485 for 795x serial ports
before establishing the physical connections.

This feature allows 795x slave devices to run releases other software versions and still get updates from
the Master device. Re-enabling the synchronising will immediately trigger the overwriting of all destination
IDs with the source IDs, losing the destination IDs forever.
Values go directly into the 795x database of a slave unless serial communications is prohibited. Security
parameters for serial communications are found within <Configure>/<Other parameters>/<Security>.

INTRODUCTION
7B.2
This feature is typically used when a MODBUS Master device must get parameter data from a 795x series
Flow Computer, where both are attached to the same MODBUS protocol network.
High-speed list communications facilitate the quick collection and transmission of data from up to 300 usernominated parameters. This is achieved by using just a small quantity of MODBUS protocol messages. It
would otherwise require an exchange of hundreds of messages.
The 795x Flow Computer also helps by collecting all the data of nominated (listed) parameters from its
database and keeping it local. This activity is completed during every machine cycle. Keeping parameter
data locally allows faster data access, allowing the 795x to service requests from a Master device as quickly
as possible. Hence, the term of high-speed lists.
There are two aspects to high-speed list communications:
the MODBUS protocol (network arrangements, communication parameters and message exchanges)
a list of parameters (i.e. 795x database locations) and
Read about each aspect in the sections that follow this overview and then look at the setting-up instructions
and the guided example.
USE OF THE MODBUS PROTOCOL
In MODBUS protocol terms, the MODBUS Master device is likely to be a supervisory system, such as
Solartrons MCS (Modular Computer System). The Master device is responsible for acquiring parameter
data through an exchange of MODBUS protocol messages with one ore more a MODBUS networked
slave devices. The 795x Flow Computer is the MODBUS slave device, supporting RS-485 and RS-232
signalling standards.
When an RS-232 point-to-point network is the vehicle for this feature
A Master device can request parameter data from one 795x slave device. The two MODBUS devices
can be wired together via any serial port supporting RS-232 Standard. (See Figure 1 on page 7b.5)
When an RS-485 multiple-drop network is the vehicle for this feature
A Master device can request parameter data from one or more 795x slaves. The 795x MODBUS slave
devices can be wired together via any serial port supporting the RS-485 Standard.
(See Figure 2 on page 7b.6)

The register map at each virtual slave is initially in a pre-set format but it can be individually re-organised to suit
applications on the Master device. There are several basic styles available for selection. Follow the links in
Table 1 to get a graphical overview of default register maps for each basic style. You will also get to see how the
blocks of a parameter list are linked to a register map.

Purpose
The menu data pages for programming entries in Block B and Block C are easily located within the
menu system under the <Block B> and <Block C> sub-menus.
It is good practice to start with Block A before progressing to Block B. Likewise, start with Block B
before progressing to Block C. It is not necessary to fully utilise a block before using another.
When programming in location identification numbers (IDs), it is very important to use the first available
(unused) entry and to not leave gaps. This will avoid inadvertently shortening the list. (See Figure 8)

New alarms are alarms which have been received but not yet accepted.
Live alarms are alarms which refer to conditions which are still active.
An example of a live alarm is when there is a fault in the system. This produces two alarms - one when the
fault first occurs (ON) and the second when it is put right (Off). If only the first alarm of the pair has been
received, the alarm is said to be live because the condition still exists.
Page 8.2
795x Op Man/DE
The number of live alarms tells you how many faults are still active. If you look at the Historical Alarm Log
this tells you more about these faults.

8.2 Events
8.2.1 Introduction to 795X events
The 795X keeps a record of important system changes in an Event Log. This is very similar, in concept, to
the alarm log, but the nature of the information kept is different.
Event details that can be viewed in the event log:
Event details that can be seen only in a printout of the event log:
This gives:
(1) a summary of the contents of the Historical Event Log
(2) an indication of the current status of the system.
This contains an individual entry for every event stored in the log.
There is enough room, in the historical event log, to store up to 150 event records. When a new event is
received, one of two things can happen:
If the event log is NOT full :
A new event record is simply added
If the event log is full :
The event configuration data, Event full action, has two options, Replace and Ignore, for determining
how to deal with a new event when the event log is full. (See Table 8.2.1)
Purpose of Option
Always overwrite the oldest event in the event log
Always discard a new event when the event log is full
795x Op Man/DE

Active events are events which have been received but not yet accepted.
Live events are events which refer to conditions which are still active.
The number of live events tells you how many of them are still active. If you look at the Historical Event Log
this tells you more about these events.

9. Additional facilities
9.1 Feature: Archiving
9.1.1 Introduction
The 795x series can perform data logging to generate historical records archives - of parameter data. The
archived data can be retrieved on-demand and displayed within the menu system. It can also be printed out as
a report and retrieved by MODBUS (protocol) networked devices.
Values from user-selected parameters can be statistically prepared (e.g. average, maximum, etc.) according to
user requirements. Statistical results are recorded at intervals that are defined by the type of data logging.
Each logging type has a separate archive with a 20-parameter capacity and the ability to keep statistics from the
past.
There are four types of data logging available:
1. Interval
Statistical results are automatically recorded in an Interval Log archive at a user-selected time-span.
An interval can be as short as a 795X machine cycle or as long as twelve hours.
A user-selected date and time marks the start of the very first interval.
2. Daily
Statistical results are automatically recorded in a Daily Log archive at the same time each day (i.e. 24hour intervals). A user-selected date and time marks the start of the very first 24-hour period.
3. Manual
Statistical results are recorded in a Manual Log archive only when triggered manually from the front panel
or over serial communications. The beginning of this variable time-span occurs on enabling this type of
data logging.
4. Alarm
Statistical results are recorded in an Alarm Snapshot Log archive whenever an alarm is raised or is
removed. (This is separate from the Alarm History log). The beginning of this variable time-span occurs on
enabling this type of data logging.
All the types can operate in parallel if required.
The size of an archive is finite but flexible enough to allow re-sizing by hand. Re-sizing actions cause all
previously recorded values to be lost forever and should be done prior to data logging commencing.
Archives can be selectively viewed on screen and printed out as a report. Printouts of reports can also occur
automatically after new statistical results have been archived. Associated parameters (database locations)
can be manipulated or retrieved by MODBUS networked device.
Important notice!
The two sections that follow should be read and understood before embarking on the
configuration task. It is also advisable to try out at least one of the worked examples.
795x Op Man/CB
Page 9.1
1.
Average
This calculates the average of a parameter value sampled every 795X machine cycle. The resulting
average is ready for whenever it is to be recorded to an archive.
2.
Difference
This calculates the difference between the latest sampled parameter value and the result that was last
copied to an archive. A result is ready for whenever it is to be recorded to an archive.
3.
Maximum
This results in the largest sampled parameter value (since that last archived statistic) being copied to an
archive.
4.
Minimum
This results in the smallest sampled parameter value (since that last archived statistic) being copied to
an archive.
5.
None
This results in the very latest sampled parameter value being copied to an archive.
Depth
Width
Width corresponds to the total number of bytes required to store a single value from
every nominated parameter. (See Table 9.1.1)
Available memory space for increasing the size of an archive can be viewed by pressing the PRINT MENU
key and then selecting the menu: <Archives>/<Re-size archives>/<Spare arch. memory>.

Data Type
A database location without a status attribute (i.e. Set or Free) where the
value (e.g. 1.25) is automatically generated by a measurement task. This

It is very important to carefully plan the set-up of all archive space before data logging to archives
commence. Otherwise, be prepared for inevitable data loss when making changes or setting up other
archives at a later stage.
Archive space can be changed as follows:
Action
Associated archive
Associated archive
Depth increases.

(b) The width value of a parameter is dependent on the type of data location. It is not displayed.
(c) Depth is affected by the total width of parameters. Depth will therefore vary from the example shown

Interval Archiving Notes:
A The interval type of data logging operates independently of the other types.
B Intervals are always synchronised to the 795x calendar clock. For example, a 10-second interval will first
occur on the minute rollover and then re-occur every multiple of 10 seconds. An interval start time that is
not divisible by the interval will effectively be delayed to the next multiple of the interval.
C Some or all values could be lost if a power failure occurs while they are being logged. The data logging
will re-synchronise to the calendar clock after the re-start.
The location identification of a parameter can be seen on-screen by navigating the menu data page and then pressing the a-key.

Important notices!
1. Adding a parameter to a data logging list causes all recorded statistics to be immediately
lost from the associated target archive. Other archives are not affected by this.
2. Removing a parameter from a data logging list causes all recorded data to be immediately
lost from the associated target archive. Other archives are not affected by this.
3. Increasing or decreasing space will result in all recorded data being lost from all archives.
Re-size Instructions:
The following are re-size menus:(1) Alarm log Alarm Trigger Archive re-sizing
(2) Manual log Manual Trigger Archive re-sizing
(3) Daily log Daily Archive resizing
(4) Interval log Interval Archive resizing
Each re-size menu features two menu data pages. One menu data page is for requesting an
increase or decrease to the depth i.e. the maximum number of values per parameter that can be
presently stored in the associated archive. The other menu data page shows the maximum number
allowed at present.
To request more space for an archive
(4a) Set a new value in the appropriate request parameter
(4b) Confirm this request for more space by selecting the "Reformat soft-command (option
descriptor) through data page under the <Re-format archives> menu.
Warning!
795x Op Man/CB
Increasing or decreasing space will cause all recorded values to be lost from all archives.
Use the max snaphot menu data page to check on the result of a request.

Viewing Archives
Recorded values can be viewed on the 795x display. No configuration is required for this feature. Follow the
self-contained instructions that are provided below.
3. There are menu data pages (database locations) for displaying a previously recorded value for every
listed (nominated) parameter. For example, the value of the first nominated parameter is found in the
Intvl snap value 1 menu data location.
By default, the most recently recorded values from the last interval can be seen. The Select snapshot
menu option is for selecting another elapsed interval. For example, snapshot 1 is for showing the
oldest interval of recorded values. Selecting a snapshot that does not yet exist will always cause all
the most recent recorded values to be selected and then displayed.
4. The date and time, of when the presently displayed statistics were recorded, can be seen by selecting
View snapshot time menu.
3. There are menu data pages (database locations) for displaying a previously recorded value for every
listed (nominated) parameter. For example, the value of the first nominated parameter is found in the
Daily snap value 1 menu data page.
By default, only the most recently recorded values from the previous 24-hour period can be seen. Use
the Select snapshot menu option to select another 24 hour period. For example, snapshot 1 is for
showing the very first 24-hour period of recorded values. Selecting a snapshot (i.e. 24-hour period) that
does not yet exist will always cause all the most recent recorded values to be selected and then
displayed.
4. The date and time, of when the presently displayed statistics were recorded, can be seen by selecting
View snapshot time option.
3. There are menu areas for viewing previously recorded values for each listed parameter. Look for the
numerous Snap item value sub-menus. By default, only the most recently recorded values from the
last trigger can be seen. Use the Select snapshot menu option to select and display recorded values
from previous triggers. For example, edit a value of 1 to retrieve the oldest snapshot. Selecting a
snapshot that does not yet exist will cause all of the most recent recorded statistics to be re-displayed.

Limits
You can set limits for some parameters so that an alarm is generated if the limits are exceeded.
There are several types of limit:
High limit
The highest value which the parameter can have before an alarm is generated.
Low limit
The lowest value which the parameter can have before an alarm is generated.
Step limit
The greatest allowable step between successive values before an alarm is generated.
Comparison limit
The greatest allowable difference between values from separate measurement channels before an alarm
is generated.
The parameters, and the types of limit which you can set for them, are:
Page 9.20
9.5
None
The system uses whatever value is available for the parameter regardless
of whether or not the live input has failed.
The system uses, for the parameter, the last value prior to failure.
Fixed value
The system uses whatever fixed value you have specified for the fallback.

795X Op Man/DB
A summary of core measurements to be set-up (e.g. flow rates, flow totals, density, etc .)
(It may be useful to look in Chapter 3 and browse through this Chapter ).
2. Read the information on conventions used in this Chapter. (See page 11. 6)
3. Browse through the rest of this Chapter and see how the reference pages are organised.
(End of preparation stage)
795X Op Man/DB
The display contrast may be quite dim when first powering on the 795X with new software. Look
within the <Configure>/<Other parameters> menu for the appropriate menu and then change the
setting to suit the environment.
Page 11.3
Display Formats
Display formats are important when decimal places of results are critical. They are categorised
under general headings (e.g. temperature, pressure, etc.).
Look in the <Configure>/< Other parameters> menu for the appropriate menu and then change
the settings if the defaults are not appropriate. Units of measurement can be changed also.
The necessary amount of machine cycle time required is dependent on how much work the 795X is
performing. Examine the idle cycle time indicator to see if the Set cycle time needs to be
increased or decreased.
DO NOT CHANGE ANY SETTINGS UNDER THE CALIBRATION MENUS. SETTINGS ARE
MADE BY SPECIALIST CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT AT THE FACTORY.
Use the DOWN-ARROW (V) key to page down until Operating mode (or similar) is seen.

Sometimes, it is convenient to use the MAIN-MENU key (especially if lost). However, use of the
BACK-ARROW key is a much more common method of returning back a menu level.

ANALOGUE INPUTS
Features:
What to do:
Use this page to configure the live input menu data for the analogue channels that are being used by analogue
field transmitters. After the menu data is configured, check that a live reading is displayed by the value menu
data.
Later reference pages, for configuring measurement tasks such as temperature, pressure, etc., will expect
transmitters to be already connected and the corresponding live input menu data to be already configured.
Configuring a measurement task will involve providing range (scaling) information and choosing the analogue
channel by selecting an option (value) for a specific source. This value is a short description that has to be
selected from a fixed list. For example, the description mA input 1 corresponds to analogue input 1.

DIGITAL INPUTS
Features:
What To Do:
This reference page will assist when configuring basic data (see list below) for all the Status Input channels that
are being used.
Status Inputs do not have a default function. However, they can be allocated a function when requiring any of
the following:
Flow Direction
Indicate flow direction for ultrasonic flow metering. Turn to the Ultrasonic Flow
Metering reference pages (11.30 - 11.32) for the menu data to be used for
selecting an input.
Flow Stop
Force the 795X into a flow stopped state. Selection of the input is made using
menu data: <Flowstop status i/p>
Remote Print
Transmit a current report through a serial port that is configured for connection to a
printer. Selection of the input is made using menu data: < Print req sts i/p>

What To Do:
Use this page to configure the basic live input information (listed menu data) for the pulse input channel that is
being used by a supported volumetric flowmeter. Later reference pages, for configuring further flow details, will
expect the instrumentation to be already wired to the 795X and expect a pulse frequency value.
After a channel is configured, check on the pulse frequency that is being indicated by the frequency menu data.
Also, use the Health Check menu to view other diagnostic information such as the missing pulse counter.

(1) Mixing of HART networked transmitters and mA-type field transmitters (for DP measurements) is not
supported.
(2) All mA-type transmitters providing DP must be wired to Analogue Inputs in series.
For example, if DP Cell #1 is wired up to the first Analogue Input then DP Cell #2 must then be wired to
the second Analogue Input.
(3) All HART networked transmitters providing DP must use HART Input menu data in series.
The following table shows all the cell configurations that are supported.
Configuration Code
Application
H=DP:1
H=DP:12
H=DP:1 L=DP:2
H=DP:12 L=DP:3
**
LO Switch: A low marker in terms of a percentage of the presently selected pressure range. This value is
used as the boundary at which the prime DP Cell switches down to another DP Cell with a range
that is more accurate.
HI Switch: A high marker in terms of a percentage of the presently selected pressure range. This value is
used as the boundary at which the prime DP Cell will switch up to a another DP Cell with a range
that is more accurate.
<Diff press cal error> is the alarm limit for the maximum difference in differential pressure measurements
between a selected (prime) DP Cell and the next suitable (prime) DP Cell. An alarm is raised if the limit is
exceeded for longer than a period as Set by < Diff press cal time>. (Not enabled when limit is Set to 0).
Deviation refers to difference in differential pressure measurements between Master (or Pay) DP Cell and
any Check DP Cells.
Automatic selection of a higher range DP Cell can cause a mA input failure alarm to be raised even though
the transmitter has not actually failed. The cause of this alarm is the mA signal from a lower range cell
exceeding 111% of the 20mA analogue input range as the cell continues to measure beyond its effective
range. This alarm condition remains until the lower range cell is re-selected.
<DP inputs alarm> gives the option of suppressing the alarm under this particular situation. By default, there
is no suppression.
Identifies the range of the selected (prime) DP Cell. ( Read-only data value).
The Reynolds Number calculation is iterative and requires a previous value for the Mass Rate . This is why
the Mass Rate is shown by an Orifice calculation block. ( See listed equations on pages 11. 18 to 11.22)
The <Flow mode> page, within the INFORMATION key menu, shows if the Flow Computer considers there
to be either normal flow or zero flow in the meter-run pipe.
Flow stop (zero flow) thresholds, such as < DP flow stop limit>, are used to force live flow rates to 0 and
therefore halt flow totals even when there is negligible flow. < Flow mode> will show Flow stopped.
However, negligible flow rate values may still be displayed if enabled by the < Rate flowstop actions>
menu data.
**
In the case of an Orifice System, the D.P. value must be greater than the setting of < DP flow stop limit>
for there to be normal flow. <Flow mode> will then show Flowing.
Page 11.16
795X Op Man/DB
Support for the use of other Primary DP devices, such as a Dall Tube, is made possible with the ability to Set
values for the Expansibility factor, the Velocity of approach and the Discharge coefficient.
In the case of a Dall Tube, a Reynolds Number Correction value must be combined with one of those Set
values if it is not 1.00.
For this software feature, these particular values can only be Set by configuring with the Flow Meter Wizard.
By default, they are all calculated that can not be changed from within the 795X menu system.

Keep both HI and LO values Set to 0 if this alarm limit checking is not required.
Freq vs K factor option: (See Frequency Versus K-factor Referral description on this page)
This requires a fixed K-factor value and an error percentage value that is linearised from a programmed
flow versus error curve.
Flow vs % error option: (See Flow Versus Error Percentage Referral on page 11.29)
This requires a fixed error percentage value and a K-factor that is linearised from a programmed
frequency versus k-factor curve.
The <Flow mode> page, within the INFORMATION key menu, shows if the Flow Computer considers there
to be normal flow or zero flow in the meter-run pipe.
Flow stop (zero flow) thresholds, such as < Meter flow stop>, are used to force live flow rates to 0 and
therefore halt flow totals even when there is negligible flow. < Flow mode> will show Flow stopped.
However, negligible flow rate values may still be displayed if enabled by the < Rate flowstop actions>
menu data.
In the case of an Turbine Flow Meter, the frequency value must be greater than the setting of
<Meter flow stop> for there to be normal flow. <Flow mode> will show Flowing.
Optional. Keep Set to 0 if this alarm limit check is not required.

Scaled <Linear value> value is copied over to a live <Indicated vol rate> once every machine cycle.
Optional. Keep both high and low limits Set to 0 if these alarm limit checks are not required.
This can be either be a Set value or a Live value that is linearised (each cycle) from a programmed
flow versus error curve. Curve profile values are normally obtained from the calibration certificate of the
flowmeter.
The <Flow mode> page, within the INFORMATION (i key) menu, shows if the Flow Computer considers
there to be normal flow or zero flow in the meter-run pipe.
Flow stop (zero flow) thresholds, such as < Linear flow stop>, are used to force live flow rates to 0 and

Missing (error) pulses are detectable when using a dual pulse train configuration.
Alarm condition totalling operates independently of all other totalling. A flow total can be frozen under alarm
conditions when enabled by the corresponding inhibit menu data.
An increment value is calculated by integrating a parameter value, e.g. flow rate, over time. The result is
added to a corresponding total once during every machine cycle.
(a) Orifice or Linear Flow
The time element of the increment calculation is the actual cycle time. This value is the elapsed time
between a flow measurement. It is available for viewing from within the < Time> menu.
(b) Ultrasonic or Turbine Flow
The time element of the increment calculation is the pulse sample time. It is the period of time that pulses
were accumulated for use in calculating the present value of the Indicated Volume flow rate. This time
value is not available for viewing within the menu system.
Editing an increment value has no effect.
By default, roll-over (to zero) limits are Set to a large number. However, it is advisable to check that the limit
is sufficient for the metering application.

Prime Base Density Re-Selection Procedure
In the event of a base density input channel (e.g. Base Density A) failing or returning to a live state, the 795X will
perform a re-selection procedure for obtaining a live Prime Base Density value. This procedure involves evaluating
a user-selected logic decision table to determine where to get the prime value.
The logic table below is shown in full for the Automatic A configuration option. (Base Density A is preferred)

Selects a logic table for the prime specific gravity (channel) selection. (See Re-selection Procedure below)
A frequency measurement glitch is an anomalous reading that is unusually different to previous readings.
Anomalous readings can be filtered out by the 795X before use in calculations. A user-defined tolerance for a
frequency change is used to distinguish between good and anomalous readings. A frequency change that is
above the tolerance limit means that the frequency is anomalous. Following an anomalous reading, there
must be three consecutive good readings within the tolerance limit before the frequency is acceptable. An
alarm is raised whenever there are five consecutive anomalous readings.

Feature:
What to do:
Use this reference page to find out how to configure each analogue output channel that is to transmit values to
external devices once every machine cycle.
After configuring the necessary menu data for a channel and for the parameter, check that a satisfactory live
reading is displayed by the corresponding <mA output value> menu data.
By default, no parameters are pre-allocated to Analogue Outputs.

PULSE OUTPUTS
Features:
What To Do:
Use this page to configure data for the pulse output channels that are to transmit a rate of flow in the form of a
pulse train. Each pulse has a significance that equates to a certain mass or volume in the units of
measurement already selected for the rate.
For an example, consider a selected flow total increasing at a rate of 1 gallon every second and a pulse
significance that is edited with a value of 6 (to represent 6 gallons). There would be a pulse transmitted every
6 seconds. The corresponding total is then represented as a pulse train.

General Notes:
A
The pulse frequency will vary as the flow rate varies. If the pulse rate exceeds 10 Hz then a pulse reservoir
is used to keep count of the excess. Always set a large enough pulse significance to avoid this occurring.
If an excess does occur, increase the significance and wait for things to calm down again. Alternatively,
reservoirs can be cleared immediately by selecting the appropriate clear command through the
<Clear pulse outputs> menu data.

Important Notice
This Chapter is only relevant to 7951s with the HART add-on board
installed. Contact Solartron for up-to-date details of 7951 upgrade options.
A special add-on board is required to be installed inside the 7951 before this facility is enabled.
This board provides all the necessary hardware and firmware support for the 7951 to
communicate as a Current Input Device (Primary Master) on two separate networks (two-wire 420mA loops) of SMART field transmitters (Slaves).
Warning!! Each network loop must have no more than five SMART field transmitters
connected at any one time. Exceeding this number will damage add-on
boards.
The following safe area only diagram shows two HART network loops with the maximum
number of SMART field transmitters connected. In practice, far fewer transmitters are used.
Take note of the warnings - above and below. Section 16.3 has details of external wiring
involving the 7951.

Warning!! Connecting up SMART transducers has to be done with great care. Powering-up
more than one point-to-point configured transmitter on a HART network loop can
produce an electrical current (20mA per transmitter) that can damage the 7951.
A SMART transmitter is said to be intelligent because it contains a micro-processor that provides extra functionality. This may
take various forms, such as on-board calculations, handling multiple sensors, combining types of measurement. measurement
integrity indicators, and so on. SMART is also used for the ability to re-use existing field wiring.

**
The communications standard for each network loop is the HART Protocol . A full technical
discussion of this standard is outside the scope of this operating manual. There is a detailed
discussion of the HART protocol in the Rosemount booklet entitled HART Field
Communications Protocol - A Technical Description. However, particularly important aspects
involving the 7951 are covered in later section as they are needed.
Gas Application Software is able to request data from dynamic variables that are kept and
maintained by a SMART transmitter. These dynamic variables can be thought of as being very
much like 7951 type data locations. Four dynamic variables per SMART field transmitter can
be requested. A total of eight dynamic variables can be input to the 7951. Configuration details
concentrate on setting up the 7951 to obtain up to eight (the maximum) measurement values.

Frequency-shift keying
The HART protocol uses the American Bell 202 standard frequency-shift keying (F.S.K.)
method to mask a digital signal on to analogue wiring.
Important Notice
The HART add-on board can be used with the Extra I/O add-on board at the
same time. This combination provides 2 off Analogue inputs 5 and 6.
However, the F.S.K. signal produces random errors on the analogue signal
which affect the normal accuracy (See Appendix C).
Solartron strongly recommend that analogue inputs, being used for HART loop
inputs, should only be used for HART communications.

Table notes:
1. Cable length calculations take into account the 350 resistance from a 7951 with the
HART Board.
2. It is assumed that a 150 I.S. Barrier has a maximum end to end resistance of 185
3. It is assumed that a 300 I.S. Barrier has a maximum end to end resistance of 340
A discussion of cable choices can be found in the Rosemount booklet entitled HART
Field Communications Protocol - A Technical Description.
Important Notice:
Field transmitters in hazardous areas
Always follow wiring instructions provided by manufacturers of the field
transmitters.

There are two selectable commands:
(1) On line - puts the field transmitter on-line
(2) Off line - takes the field transmitter off-line
This shows an interpretation of the response, from a field
transmitter, following a HART command selection.
Responses are as follows:
(1) Configure
- field transmitter is now on-line
(2) Un-configure - field transmitter is now off-line
(3) SMART error - connection problem
(4) SPI error
- HART board comms. problem
(4) None
- no response or no HART board
Choose between mean and SMR.

C.6 Earthing
In addition to earthing the chassis, (described in Chapter 5), you may have to make extra earth
connections in some cases, depending on the installation requirements.
The types of connection can be split into three groups, each of which has different earthing requirements.
The groups are:
Status inputs
Analogue inputs
Frequency inputs
Analogue outputs
The diagrams on the next two pages shows you how to earth the external connections.

Product compressibility
The definition of compressibility used to develop the table in Section 1 of the IP Petroleum
measurement Manual is the isothermal secant compressibility, defined by the equation:

Page E.5
where

= volumes at pressures

P1 and P2 , respectively
1 V1
V0 P1 T
= C 10 6 bar 1
where:
= oil temperature in C
The new equation (from the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter
11.2.1M) gives (after converting to units of kg/m and bar):
= 10 e

where:

This equation is valid for the density range of 638 kg/m to 1074 kg/m . For a density range of

Ideal values for Specific Gravity can be taken from table F.1#2 (on page F.3). In
practice, the live Specific Gravity measurements may be more appropriate.
For a measured pure gas, a value for 0 can be taken from table F.1#2 (on page F.3).
For a measured composition of gas, a value for 0 can be taken from table F.1#2 (on
page F.3) but needs to modified in proportion to the volumetric fraction (percentage) of
each gas component.
