Figure 1 Example ID Tree

This is referred to as the ID tree which, depending on its context, includes folders and several
parameters:

2.4.1Type of data
The rest of this chapter will explain the folders available, the type of selection within the folder
and any other corresponding data.
Preset Data
Essential to the configuration of the flow computer. Typical data would be keypad values, operating limits, equation selection, calibration data for Turbines and Densitometers and Orifice
plates.
This data would be present in a configuration report, and enables you to see what the flow computer is configured to do.
Used for validation and will form the Data Checksum (visible on the System Information Page).
E.g., if a data checksum changes, the setup of the flow computer has changed and potentially
calculating different results to what is expected.
Typically configured and left alone, only updated after validation e.g. every 6 month / 1 year.
Active Data
These values cover inputs to the flow computer. E.g. from GC, pressure & temperature transmitters, meters etc..
Also Values calculated in the flow computer. E.g. Flow rates, Z, Averages, Density etc..
Local Data
Data that an operator can change locally to perform maintenance tasks. E.g., turn individual
transmitters off without generating alarms. Setting Maintenance mode or Proving Mode.

Totals
Totals for the streams and station.
Contents of this folder are stored in the non-volatile RAM and are protected using the battery.
Custom
User defined variables.
Allows calculations, made in a LUA script, to be used in a configuration.
For details, see volume 3.

2.4.2Colour codes
With each parameter and option, there are corresponding coloured dots that represent the access and status of the particular selection.
General ID tree
Red Dot

Data is Read/Write and can be changed over Modbus.

Yellow Dot

Data is Read-Only and cannot be changed over Modbus

Please note that it might be possible to change the values via the screen
90% of the data will be Read Only, but items such as Serial Gas Compositions, Time/Date, MF
are commonly written over Modbus.
NOTE: Although the ID may be read/write, the security setting determines whether the ID indeed
can be written.
Alarm Tree
The alarm tree is built of all the registers that hold alarm data. Alarm registers are 32-bit integers, where each bit represents a different alarm.
Red Dot

Represents an accountable alarm visible on the alarm list.

Dark Blue Dot

Represents a non-accountable alarm visible on the alarm list.

Orange Dot

Represents a warning visible on the alarm list.

Light Blue Dot

Represents a status alarm, not visible on the alarm list.

Black/Grey Dot

Represents a hard- or software fault alarm visible on the alarm list.

An example of typical usage would be the General Alarm Register. This is a 32 bit register that
indicates up to 32 different alarms in the flow computer. This will contain Status Alarms, for example, 1 bit will indicate if there is a Pressure alarm or not. If the Pressure Status bit is set the
user will know that there is a problem with the Pressure.
This should be sufficient information, however if it is not satisfactory, the user can look at the
Pressure alarm, this contains 32 different alarms relating to the Pressure measurement, these
would be Red Dots as they each can create an entry in the alarm list. By reading this register
the user can view exactly what is wrong with the Pressure measurement.
The Light Blue Dots are generally an OR of several other dots. By reading the General register
you can quickly see if the unit is healthy, more information can be provided by reading several
more registers associated with that parameter.

2.4.3ID Lookup

When pressing the ID lookup button on top of the screen, a lookup table will be generated:

Figure 2 ID lookup

As there are very many IDs, it is possible to filter for a required ID.

2.5Specific Requirements for Meters and Volume Convertors

2.5.1Numbering formats
The number formats used internally in the unit are generally IEEE Double Precision floating
point numbers of 64 bit resolution.
It is accepted that such numbers will yield a resolution of better than 14 significant digits.
In the case of Totalisation of Gas, Volumes, Mass and Energy such numbers are always shown to
a resolution of 8 digits before the decimal point and 4 after, i.e. 12 significant digits.
Depending upon the required significance of the lowest digit, these values can be scaled by a
further multiplier.

2.5.2Alarms
Each of the various modules that comprise the total operating software, are continuously monitored for correct operation. Depending upon the configuration, the flow computer will complete its allotted tasks within the configured cycle time, 250mS, 500mS or 1 second. Failure to
complete the tasks within the time will force the module to complete, and where appropriate, a
substitute value issued together with an alarm indication.
For example, if a Calculation fails to complete correctly then a result of 1 or similar will be
returned, which allows the unit to continue functioning whilst an accountable alarm is raised,
indicating an internal problem.

GENERAL INFORMATION

SUMMIT 8800

2.5.2.1Accountable alarm
When the value of any measurement item or communication to an associated device that is providing measurement item to the SUMMIT 8800 goes out of range, the flow computer will issue
an Accountable Alarm.
When any calculation module or other item that in some way affects the ultimate calculation result goes outside its operating band, i.e. above Pressure Maximum or below Pressure minimum,
then the SUMMIT 8800 will issue an Accountable Alarm.
When the SUMMIT 8800 issues an Accountable alarm a number of consequences will occur as
follows:
Front panel accountable alarm will turn on and Flash.
Nature of accountable alarm will be shown on the top line of the alarm log.
Alarm log will wait for user acknowledgement of alarm.
During the period of the alarm, main totalisation will occur on the alarm counters.

2.5.3Optional consequences
Depending upon the configuration of the SUMMIT 8800 the following optional Consequences will
also occur:
An Entry will be made in the Audit Log, with Time and Date of occurrence.
The Used value of the Parameter in Alarm will be substituted by an alternative value, either
from an alternative measurement source that is in range, or from a pre-set value.
A digital Alarm output will indicate an Alarm condition.

4.DATE & TIME

The Summit has a battery backed real-time clock. The clock can be set in several ways:
- Initially a fixed value via the configuration software
- Initially the time of the computer downloading the configuration software..
- Automatically synchronized via an SNTP server
- Manually via the screen
The format of the time can be changed to fit international needs.
The Summit also knows a contract time as often a buyer and seller have different moment of a
day that they like to generate reports, e.g. at 00:00 hours and 06:00 hours. Only required if more
than one report time is needed.

4.1Initial setting of date and time

In the configuration software the initial settings for date and time can be set together with and

4.2SNTP Time Synchronisation

The SNTP or Simple Network Time Protocol is available to synchronise the internal clock with a
network time server. While the internal clocks accuracy is limited to about 3 ppm/C, these time
servers are based on atomic clocks to guarantee the best accuracy. This function also ensures
that all flow computers in a network are using the same time.
The flow computer works with time servers using version 3 or 4 of the SNTP protocol, either
Unicast or Broadcast:
Unicast is where the flow computer will request the time from a specified time server.
Broadcast is when the flow computer waits for a broadcast packet from a time server, and
then confirms the results by using a unicast request.
The SNTP can be setup in the hardware section under the Ethernet SNTP:

DATA LOGGING

05

5.DATA LOGGING
To store historical data is one of the major functions of a flow computer. The Summit 8800 is has
3 types of logs:
Alarm log

Storage of current and historical alarms.

Audit trail log

Storage of any change made to the unit that has metrological significance.

Data log

Storage of user defined data, either periodically or event diven.

The first two are system logs and cannot be changed, however an audit log can be extended with
user defined data.

5.1Alarm and audit log security

It is possible to define what to do with alarm acknowledgment and clearing alarm and audit logs
depending on the 4 hardware security switches on the back of the Summit. Two of them determine the security mode of the Summit:
Open

Any changes can be made (using user passwords) and applications can be loaded.

Partial

Changes can be made except calibration data. No new application can be loaded.

Full

No changes in parameters, values or any other data is not possible.

The different security mode also effects the alarm/ audit clearing and acknowledgment and can
be set under display, alarm/audit security configuration

Figure 12 Display security window

Clear Alarm Log

Determines if the alarm log may be cleared in open/ partial/ full mode.

Acknowledge Alarms

Determines if the alarms may be acknowledged in open/ partial/ full mode.

DATA LOGGING

SUMMIT 8800

5.2Alarm log
Every time an alarm or warning occurs, it will be stored in the alarm log. The log contains a
maximum of 200 entries consisting of time and date when the alarm occurred and vanished plus
a description of the alarm or warning.

Figure 13 Alarm log

As the alarm log is a system functions, it does not need any configuration, exept for the alarm
acknowledge and clear, which is depending on the security configuration (see previous chapter)
All alarm information stored in the Summits internal data flash memory. Each record contains
a CRC 32 check which is generated when the log record is created and checked for validity each
time data is read from the Unit.

5.3Audit trail log

Any change made in the Summit which influences the flow measurement in any way is stored in
an audit trail to be able to track back what went wrong and possibly recalculate the results.This
log contains a maximum of 200 kbyte of internal memory, typically good at least 2000 entries.
Each entry consists of time and date when the event occurred, the operator name, the description of the event and the value before and after change:

(see chapter Alarm and audit log security).

5.3.1Audit log extension

For diagnostic purposes, the user can extend the audit trail with alarms and with up to 10 additional data items per event. These data will be stored on an external SD card only. Configuration

DATA LOGGING

SUMMIT 8800

The Internal (DF) memory has a capacity of approximately 6 MB or approximately to 300,000

data records, with time and date for each.
The SD memory used, depends on the size of the card and the % of SD card to use set for this
log record, e.g. 200.000.000 for a 4 GB card.

5.4.1Access to data log

Log data are available for reporting and communication, but not for display. In many cases, data
logs are specifically used to allow re-print of data.
The logs have records with an index. The first index 1 is latest (youngest) record, the highest
index is the oldest.
Under the normal local variables there are two for log numbers:

The display screen capabilities of the SUMMIT 8800 represents a quantum leap for flow computers. Not only is it a colour display, but it is also fully graphics, presenting text, mimics, trends,
X-Y-Z charts etc. and it is also fully configurable.
When starting a new application, the configurator will automatically generate a default menu
depending on the type of streams/ prover chosen. Because the menu is created in the default
engineering units, it is very important to make sure that the correct engineering units are
chosen, otherwise the menu items have to be changed manually. So please check if they are set
correctly under settings of the configurator start menu:

Figure 26 Display, set the correct engineering units

Please note that the menu will not automatically be adjusted when adding a stream to prevent
damaging any changes made. If desired, it is possible to create a new application and import any
changes desired or just create new menu items using the appropriate templetes.
There are two type of display pages:

System pages

These pages are deemed essential and will always be available

User defined pages

All other pages are fully configurable

6.1System pages
The Summit has standard pages which cannot be changed and will always be available. They
handle the system functions, such as:

6.6Alarm/Audit Security Configuration

It is possible to define what to do with alarm acknowledgment and clearing alarm and audit logs
depending on the hardware security switches. For details, see chapter 6.1.

6.7Mimic Diagrams
The mimic screen of the flow computers sets the Summit 8800 apart from any other. Such pages
are fully graphical and can depict metering equipment, status, buttons, and any other picture.
This makes it a simple supervisory system, but please be aware that mimic diagrams are slower
than display pages,
When starting an new application the system automatically generates mimic diagrams, depending on the type of streams/ prover chosen. They are available as templates which can be used as
they are or can be changed to your liking. Because the templates are created in the default engineering units, it is very important to make sure that the correct engineering units are chosen,
otherwise the mimic items have to be changed manually.
Off course new mimic diagrams can also be made. The basic idea is that there is a coloured
canvas on which graphic items can be dragged. These items can then be configured for colour,
format, variable, alarms and warnings:

A 3D graph is an excellent way to present a lot of data in an X-Y chart or an X-Y-Z chart. The actual chart can be build up from sets of X-Y-Z values, but can also be X-Y-Z data from variables.
These variables may be dynamic or static.

For each line to be translated, the target language will be typed in on the right. This is fine, if for
a project some operator screens must be translated. In that case it is enough to only translate a
selected few lines, all the others will still use English.
However the full translation includes almost 40.000 lines, although not all line need translation.
Therefore more often, actual translation will be done outside the configurator, e.g. in Excel by
exporting and importing the language file.

REPORTING

SUMMIT 8800

The Summit has several ways to report metering information:

Serial reports
Ticket printing via a serial port to a black and white, non-graphical printer
Ethernet reports
FTP printing via Ethernet to a black and white or colour graphic printer
E-mailing via Ethernet to a mail server
XML electronic reporting via FTP to a computer disk
Download reports
ID reports via an Ethernet download from a web site or read by the configuration program
Ticket printing can only handle fixed-width or non-proportional characters and printers with RS
232/ 485 serial links. This is ideal for simple panel mounted dot matrix printers.
More modern printers are typically Ethernet based and can handle coloured and proportional
fonts. For this FTP printing is more appropriate.

7.1Serial ticket printing

A ticket printer can be connected to any of the serial ports, but some of the dot matrix printers
need a hardware handshake as is available on port 1 of the Ethernet boards:

7.2.1FTP protocol
FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host
to another over a TCP based network. In the Summit FTP is used to transfer reports from the
flow computer to a printer or to a file server.

For printers a username and password may not be needed, however they must be entered for
access to the users network servers.
Note: When using FTP to print data the printer or print server must (be set to) accept FTP connections. A majority of the more modern network enabled printers and print servers support
this protocol.

7.2.2SMTP E-mail protocol

The SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an standard for electronic mail (e-mail) transmission across IP networks. Two independent SMTP protocols can be used:

7.2.3Print jobs
Reports can use the HTML XML formatting:
HTML or HyperText Markup Language, allows for colour, formatting and charts.
XML or eXtended Markup Language is a standard that allows a wide variety of programs, such
as Excel and Word to read and format the information. XML not only provides the actual data
but also associated information like the names and formats of the data.
File reports will most often be in XML, printers and E-mails will most commonly use HTML.
Please note that for some E-mail programs the HTML format must be enabled.
The print Jobs page defines the configuration of the items to be printed and the circumstances:

7.2.5Configure XML Reports

7.2.5.1Background
XML or Extensible Markup Language is markup language based on a standard XML 1.0 specification. XML is focused on documents but is more generally used for structured data. The major
advantage is that it can be used to exchange data which can be used in a wide variety of programs, such as accounting systems, Excel and Word.
XML documents are designed to be read by both humans and machines. They are based on normal Unicode text and can be used in any language. A document is divided into markup, tags and
content. Markup has the format <xxxxxx> and surrounds content. Tags is markup that defines
the start and end of content:
Start tags, e.g. <volume>
End tags, e.g. </volume>
Empty-element tags, e.g. <line break />
Tags with their contents are called elements. Elements may be empty, may contain one start
tag/content/stop tag but may itself contain other elements. It should be noted that in order for
the report to be valid XML the entire report must be enclosed within one element:

All Data transmissions are verified by appropriate checksum methods. Where alternatives
are available, CRC 32 is used; however often the transmitter device determines the checking
method used and this can be alternatives such as CRC16 or LRC.

8.2Basic Communication setup

The flow computer uses serial communication to transfer information from and to the flow computer. Three serial hardware layers are available:
RS232

Used for short distances, point to point connections

RS485

Used for long distances, either point to point or multi-drop connections.

Ethernet

Ethernet is the preferred way to communicate over a local area network (LAN).

The Summit 8800 I/O boards each have one serial RS board. The communication boards consist
of 3 RS serial ports plus one Ethernet port on the single communication board and two Ethernet
ports on the dual communication board.
All of them require a basic setup which are described in the following chapters. In further chapters a detailed description will be given for the specific protocol.

8.2.1Port selection
Select the hardware board and port for the protocol desired:

8.2.2Basic RS 232/485 serial port settings

When selecting the serial ports, the user is presented from the drop down a list of options for
various types of communication:

Figure 167 Serial port type selection and a typical setting

For RS232/485 links the following settings are always required:

Baud rate

The speed of transmission in bits per second between 300 and 38400.

Parity

A check on correct transmission: none, odd, even, space or mark.

Stop bits

Gap between two transmitted words, 1 or 2 stop bits

Mode

RS232 or RS 485

Word size

Size of 1 word: 7 or 8 bits

It is essential to match these settings with the settings of the devices communicating with, otherwise garbled information will be transferred.

8.2.3Basic Ethernet settings

To establish communication to the SUMMIT 8800 over Ethernet, the basic settings under the
general section is always needed:

Enable Ethernet port

Tick the box if the Ethernet port will be used.

Enable UDP identification

Tick the box if UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is enabled: this allows
the Summit configuration software to automatically detect this
Summit on the Ethernet.
Please note that UDP may be blocked by company routers.

IP address

Set the IP address to be allocated to the flow computer

Netmask

Set a corresponding Netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0).

Gateway

A gateway is the network device that enables data to enter and exit a
LAN, such as a router to a Wide Area Network. Leave at default if no
gateway is needed.

DNS Server

A DNS (domain name system) server manages the names of websites

and other Internet domains, such that you can type in a name instead
of an IP number to find a computer Internet. Leave at default if no
DNS server is needed.

Configuration software:
Enable

Tick the box if the configuration software is allowed to access this

computer

Port

Provide the Ethernet port address to be used by the configuration

software. The default port is 3000, but on some networks another port
may be more appropriate.

8.3Modbus master
In the Summit the modbus master is used to get information from metering devices. Traditionally a serial port is used for devices and therefore each board has one or more serial ports.
Nowadays Modbus over TCP/IP becomes more popular, so the Summit also supports this on its
ethernet ports where for each Ethernet port 2 modbus masters are available.

In the Summit the modbus slave is used to allow other devices, such as SCADA systems, to get
information from the Summit. Traditionally a serial port is used for Modbus, but nowadays Modbus over TCP/IP becomes more popular, so the Summit also supports this on its ethernet ports
where each Ethrnet port has 4 modbus slave links available.

8.4.1.2Modbus timeout setting

In the settings, it is also possible to enable the modbus timeout to create an alarm when the
counter exceeds the number of seconds set under the general Modbus Timeout:

Figure 179 Modbus slave enable timeout

Check the box is the modbus timeout may be used. This setting refers to a general setting for
modbus timeout:

Figure 180 Modbus slave timeout settings

Modbus Communication is subject to 3 re-tries and a 1-second timeout on each re-try. If at the
end of this no reply or an invalid reply is received then an alarm appropriate to the failure is issued. The Modbus time-out function is designed to identify when any essential Modbus master
or slave communication is lost.
To disable the timer, set the timeout value to -1 otherwise enter the maximum time that the
SUMMIT 8800 is allowed to be without Modbus communications. An accountable alarm will be
raised on every stream that is using the time-out alarm if communication loss occurs longer
than the defined time allowed. All Modbus received gas or liquid data will be flagged as an error.

8.4.3Parameters
Modbus is not a well defined standard. It started as a very simple protocol, but has been modified to fit different applications. Such changes have never been included in the standard, resulting in a wide variety of conflicting versions. Therefore, to cover all applications, many parameters have been included in the Summit.

Figure 185 Modbus slave registers

Each line represents one register with the following parameters:

Address

Modbus address, any number between 0 to 65535 is valid. There is no standard for
addressing registers. Most often blocks of the same type are used, e.g. 10001-19999 for
read only bits, but check the capabilities or needs of the master device before defining
your addresses.

Variable

Name of the variable from the ID tree

Type

Defines the content of the variable used: available in different types: e.g. character,
short integer, long integer (32 bits integers), floating point (32 bit single precision IEEE
floating point), double (64 bit: double precision IEEE floating point), time and short string
(8 characters).
The original standard only defines bits (coils) and integers (inputs). Presently long and
floats are very common, while the flow computer stores most values as doubles to have
sufficient accuracy. Therefore, not all types may be supported by the master, e.g. older
PLCs often do not support doubles. So change the type to fit the Modbus master. The
SUMMIT 8800 will automatically scale it to the type selected.
Highest accuracy of numbers is achieved using double precision IEEE numbers to 64
bit resolution. All numbers can be cast as types other than their default type, this will
be indicated by brackets for the type, e.g., (float) - Indicating the number is not using its
default type setting.
NOTE:
Highest accuracy of numbers is achieved using double precision IEEE numbers to 64 bit
resolution.

Bytes

ID size in bytes. Information purposes only and cannot be changed.

Order

Byte order. Default is ascending 12345678. Different computer architectures use

their memory in different ways to store data. Example, when a transmitting computer
takes a 32-bit computer word composed of four 8 bit bytes and places it on a serial
communication line, the receiving computer needs to know how the bytes need to be
stored: does it start with the least significant byte first (Little-endian), or the most
significant byte first (Big-endian). Motorola and Intel microprocessors are generally
incompatible (cannot share the same memory) because of this byte order problem. In
most cases, it is impossible to predict how a given system will handle this problem.
For this reason the SUMMIT 8800 made this configuration possible, with the same
processor it will be able to display the same order, e.g., 1234, or any other combinations
needed, e.g., an order of 2143.
The byte order will normally be the same for all registers.

SUMMIT 8800

COMMUNICATION

08

Latch

Data can be latched (or frozen) until a new latch command is given. Normally all
variables will be updated every calculation cycle. However the variables might be
read slower than they are updated. In this case you can read data from two different
calculation cycles by latching them as one consistent set of data.
To do so, specify latched you will then be asked for a register address which is used
to latch the data. By specifying the same address to all data from the consistent set, all
data will be frozen, until a write to the latch address is performed. The contents of the
register can be any variable, e.g., time or none.

Access

Read only or read / write. Access default is read only. Read / write is only applicable to
items with write access capabilities and are indicated by a red ID colour, such as time.
Access control will be important to ensure the security of the SUMMIT 8800. Only give
read/ write access if absolutely required, specifically the Read Write to Data Flash.

Registers

In the different types of Modbus, there are two types of registers: fixed or variable sized
registers, relating to the number of bytes in a register.
In fixed sized registers the number of bytes is independent of the variable in the register.
This means that if the variable is bigger than the register size, multiple addresses must
be used. Often the size is 2 bytes, so to transfer a float (4 bytes) two adjacent addresses
will be used.
In variable sized registers a variable will always use one address. So address 100 may
contain an integer (2 bytes) or a double (8 bytes).
In the flow computer it is possible to define how many registers are used to retrieve
the data. Default is 1 meaning that variable size is assumed. If fixed sized registers are
needed, increase the number. Since the number of addresses for a register may change
an overlap of addresses might occur, the software will warn the user and ask to update
automatically.

For log data such as in Enron or Pemex modbus:

Indexing method
There are 3 indexing methods:
- Direct

The log number is specified in the parameter log number

- Indexed

The log number is specified by the number of records in the modbus request

- Event

The number of records parameter in the modbus request is ignored. The response
is the number of log events which have occurred since the Log was last read and
acknowledged. If no events have occurred then the response is no data. If many
events have occurred, and fill the available modbus response, the oldest events will
be transmitted. More recent events will be transmitted after the last request has
been acknowledged. To obtain the number of events waiting to be transmitted, this is
obtained by accessing the Modbus Log Event Index

Log number

In direct indexing method, the record number in the log. Zero is the most recent log
record.

To Acknowledge events, the Force single Coil command is issued to the event address.
Note:
Log items and non-log items can only share the same address when the indexing method for
the logged item(s) is set to direct. Where logged items share an address, they must all have the
same indexing method.

8.7Instromet Ultrasonic protocol

The Elster/Instromet Q-sonic ultrasonic gas meter can be set to two protocols:
Instromet protocol

The original protocol specifically designed by Instromet for the

Q-sonic

Modbus protocol

The most common protocol, developed later

The SUMMIT 8800 supports both protocols.

To use the Instromet protocol, go to hardware, select a serial port and choose Instromet ultrasonic:

The standard settings need to match the meter settings:

Stream

Select the stream where the encoder is connected to

Baud rate

The speed of transmission in bits per second between 300 and 38400.

Parity

A check on correct transmission: none, odd, even, space or mark.

Mode

RS232 or RS 485

Word size

Size of 1 word: 7 or 8 bits

Timeout

The maximum time to be waiting for a response, after which an alarm is given

8.8Encoder protocol
Normally meters have an index with totals, but send flow rates to flow computers in the form of
pulses. From these pulses, the flow computer calculates then calculates its own totals.
Clearly the problem is that the meter totals are normally different from the totals in the flow
computer. Differences occur because the initial meter totals are not copied to the flow computer,
not even after a flow computer is stopped.
An encoder solves that problem by including electronics into the meter index which sends the
exact the meter totals to the flow computer. Often a 2 wire NAMUR Interface is used to transmit
the data via a serial protocol. Via a converter to RS232, the encoder can be connected to the flow
computer.
The Summit will use the totals from the encoder to ensure that both totals are identical. However for flow rate the Summit still need the traditional connections, typically pulses.

8.10DSfG Protocol
The DSfG or Digitale Schnittstelle fr Gasmessgerte (Digital protocol for gas measurement
equipment) is a German protocol for Gas measurement. This elaborate, but dated protocol is
used to communicate between field devices and between a station and host computers. See
diagram below:

Figure 205 Figure 205 DSfG block diagram

The blue box is a special communication board developed by KROHNE to handle the protocol
and data registration. The board is installed in the Summit and internally connected to a modified dual Ethernet board via a modbus link with the Summit as a slave. It comes as a kit containing:

DSfG communication board

Dual Ethernet board with port 2 modified as an internal RS232
A serial cable for internal connection between the two boards
A software application with DSfG modbus and display configuration for DSfG
A configuration program for the DSfG board
A German DSfG manual describing the configuration

Import the modbus and display configuration to ensure proper communication between the
boards.

8.11SOAP protocol
SOAP or Simple object access protocol is a messaging protocol based on XML. The big advantage is that it does not need configuration in the Summit as the host can send a SOAP message
with a request for any variable in the Summit database, e.g., flow, temperature and pressure.
The Summit will return an XML-formatted document with the resulting data. Because XML is
a standardized machine-usable format, it can then be read directly into a SCADA system or an
accounting application.
In the SUMMIT 8800 SOAP is using the HTTP protocol, so on the Ethernet port Web access has to
be enabled:

Figure 206 Ethernet configuration page

The only further configuration is that for security purposes SOAP users must be defined:

Although most users happily confirm that the configurator, with all its flexibility, offers all functions needed for their application, some more advanced users like to define their own additional
functionality. The Summit is unique in that it offers a full fledged programming language interpreter LUA to those advanced users.
LUA-based programming is mostly used for a simple user defined calculation or procedure. Two
entry points are available:
The modbus master configuration, to change the master configuration
The calculation code to add a simple calculation.

9.8Factory acceptance test check

Liquid

Gas

Steam

To verify a configuration and to do a regular parameter check it is very useful and more accurate
to simulate the measurements by software instead of the need for hardware signal generators.
Furthermore to check the full range of the calculations, normally these simulated values must
regularly be manually. This is time-consuming and error prone.
The FAT check is designed to do all of this automatically. A list of settings and the time to change
them can be created and in maintenance mode this list can be processed automatically.
This means that all steps (e.g. a day worth of steps) for an FAT can be done without supervision
after which the generated reports can be compared with the expected results.
The configuration of the steps is as follows:
