The ILX69 PROFIBUS Slave module is an in-chassis PROFIBUS DPV1

Slave for CompactLogix, supporting cyclic PROFIBUS I/O data and

acyclic messaging. Explicit ladder logic CIP message blocks provide

slave status diagnostic data and the ability for acyclic messaging.

The ILX69 interface appears to the CompactLogix controller as a

standard I/O module allowing it to be configured via Studio/RSLogix™

5000.  The cyclic PROFIBUS I/O data can be configured in

Studio/RSLogix™ 5000. or configuration can be transferred from the

Master to the slave module. The Ethernet interface allows for remote

diagnostic and troubleshooting.  Complete program examples for simple

and quick start-up are available.

Features

 Rockwell Automation Encompass Approved

 PI Certified

 Remote diagnostics via Ethernet

 Supports DPV1 Acyclic Messaging

 Field-tested with multiple PROFIBUS Masters from multiple vendors

 AOP provided to allow for seamless integration to Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000

The ILX69-PBM PROFIBUS DPV1 Master module provides all the

advantages of in-chassis PROFIBUS communication, such as the

inclusion of an AOI and the Autoscan features which greatly reduce your

commissioning time, and ComDTM that provides remote Ethernet

connectivity with asset management software.

With these modules, CompactLogix™ processors can easily

communicate with slave devices supporting PROFIBUS DPV0 and DPV1

protocol. The module acts as an input/output module between the

PROFIBUS network and the processor supporting complete Master

specifications according to IEC 61158.

Features

 AOI: Module communication is integrated within Studio/RSLogix 5000

using a sample Add-On Instruction (AOI), or sample ladder logic file,

reducing commissioning time.

 Autoscan: The new Autoscan feature reduces start up times and simplifies

troubleshooting by scanning the PROFIBUS network and uploading slave device

addresses and configuration information. (Reads and maps nodes automatically

to the module.)

 ComDTM: Allows remote Ethernet connectivity with Asset Management

Software significantly lowering maintenance costs.

You can configure, commission, maintain and diagnose your fieldbus devices

throughout their entire lifecycle with this comprehensive, fully integrated engineering

and maintenance environment.

 SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing configuration files in the event 

of a disaster. It can also be used to update the firmware of the module without the

need of a 1769 CPU.

Configurable Options

♦ User-selectable units for totalizers and flow rates on a per channel basis.

♦ Roll-over value for resettable and non-resettable totalizers for every meter channel.

♦ Process analog input units and ranges (pressure, temperature, differential pressure, density) from analog input modules and pulse

inputs from pulse/frequency input modules in a CompactLogix chassis.

♦ Fluid selection provides a choice of several liquid groups or gas measurement, using AGA, API, and/or ISO calculations.

♦ Event log reports for all security-sensitive configuration data (for example, orifice diameter) are date- and time-stamped. This data

can be saved to disk for importing into any spreadsheet or printed as a hard copy.

Modbus Interface

♦ SCADA communication is provided by the Modbus TCP/IP server and Modbus slave serial ports.

♦ Modbus table may be re-mapped as a virtual Modbus slave for user-assigned contiguous register polling by a SCADA client/master

(up to 20.000 registers).

♦ Poll remote devices (such as a Gas Chromatograph) by utilizing the Modbus Master serial port.

♦ Alarm, event, and meter archive log files may be downloaded in Enron Modbus format.

System Requirements – EAFC Manager

This configuration software is designed for Microsoft Windows 7. Minimum hardware requirements for a Windows 7 system are as listed

below. More advanced operating systems have significantly higher minimum requirements regardless of EAFC Manager minimum

requirements.

♦ 1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

♦ 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

♦ 16 GB available hard drive space (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit)

♦ Assigned IP Address

Configuration

The EAFC Manager is a free Windows 7-based configuration, reporting, and monitoring tool provided with all MVIxxE-AFC modules.

Project configurations may be uploaded, downloaded, and saved to the PC under user-selectable file names.

General Specifications

♦ The module is recognized by the processor as an Input/Output module.

♦ The provided Add-On Instruction (AOI) files are used for data transfers between the module and processor, reducing configuration

time.

♦ Configuration is downloaded over Ethernet by way of the Modbus TCP/IP servers, or delivered by user-defined ladder.

Functional Specifications

The MVI69E-AFC operates as a powerful flow computer module, augmenting the operation of the CompactLogix® processor by

providing a dedicated and accurate set of flow calculations.

♦ Calculates flow rates, accumulated volumes, accumulated mass, and (for gas product) accumulated energy.

♦ Calculation results are transferred to processor memory and may also be transferred to a SCADA host using Modbus serial or

Modbus TCP/IP.

♦ User-configurable, allowing each of the meter runs to be individually set up to meet the specific requirements of an application.

Archiving

♦ Supports data archiving and event logging.

♦ Data archiving is available for each meter run, as two separately configurable files, one called “hourly” and the other called “daily”,

whose records are intended to implement the Quantity Transaction Records (QTRs) required by applicable measurement

standards. Under default configuration:

(a)  Records are written once each hour to the “hourly” file and once each day to the “daily” file, with additional records written to

both files upon occurrence of an event that could affect measurement results (such as the change in value of a significant

parameter).

(b)  Each record consists of 100 registers formatted with up to 50 data point values selected as being appropriate for the meter’s

configuration (type, product, etc.) and compliant with QTR requirements.

(c)  Each file is formatted for a few of the most recent records to be kept in higher-speed local storage plus 1440 more records in

larger-capacity, slower “extended” storage.

♦ Logging feature provides storage of up to 2.000 events and separately 2000 alarms.

Features

♦ Meter Runs: The module can calculate up to 12 meter runs simultaneously with a maximum of 16 streams on

a single meter run (64 streams maximum per module shared among all 12 meter runs).

This flexibility provides a cost-effective, highly scalable solution for all your measurement applications.

♦ Modbus® Capabilities: Remote configuration and diagnostics via Ethernet (Modbus TCP/IP) or Serial (Modbus)

interfaces. Flexible serial port configurations allow for either two Modbus slave ports or one Modbus slave and

one Modbus Master port. All data, including configuration, calculated results, and historical archives, are available

using either the Modbus TCP/IP server or Modbus slave serial ports.

♦ Customized Modbus Data Mapping: Remapping to a virtual slave enables data concentration, reducing bandwidth

load on the communication system.

♦ Auditability: Our configuration software provides the ability to download and view archives and events. Audit Scan captures

process inputs and calculated results as “snapshots”, allowing verification of calculations. The Log files record significant events

and alarms. Hourly and daily archives are configurable historical records of user-selected data. The data can be viewed online,

printed, or saved to a file in .txt or .csv format. Archive data can be exported to Flow-Cal .cfx format. Meter calibration and

verification are stored on the module.

♦ Meter Proving: Allows for meter proving with 3 configurable prover types.

♦ Security: Password protection schemes are available to control user access and log meter calibration and verification activities.

A built-in web server allows for remote network diagnostics and monitoring.

ProSoft Technology’s MVI69E-AFC in-chassis flow computer solution allows youto combine the power and

scalability of a CompactLogix® automation system with the functionality typically only seen in a stand-alone

flow computers or dedicated measurement RTU’s. This provides you with the industry standard calculations,

archiving, and reporting needed for custody transfer and allocation based measurement functions for Oil and

Gas operations.

By combining automation and measurement functions into a single solution, this helps to reduce overall

support and integration costs for Oil and Gas applications while also decreasing your overall capital spend.

This simplified solution allows you to optimize your resources.

In addition, because our flow computer sits in a CompactLogix system, you can take advantage of Rockwell

Automation’s distributed I/O capability, wide range of communications protocols, and ProSoft’s wireless radios

to greatly reduce wiring to your transmitters and I/O devices.

Since the module operates as a co-processor for measurement related functions to the CompactLogix system,

and as measurement requirements of the site grow, you can simply add an additional MVI69E-AFC module to

increase your measurement capabilities to an individual site. A truly scalable automation and measurement

solution.
