Performance Problems Solved l l l Traditional RTUs lack the processing speed and capacity to handle control jobs requiring extremely fast response, like those performed by PLCs. The ROC 809 closes this performance gap by using the Motorola® Power. PC® (MPC 862) 32 -bit microprocessor as its engine. Not only is the MPC 862 fast, but it is designed for telecommunications and networking giving it a real edge over most PLCs. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 7 of 33

This operating system has proven its robustness in industrial control, telecommunications and avionics applications. ROC 809 8 of 33

Performance Problems Solved l l l The high power consumption of PLCs often limits their use to factory applications. Low power consumption for remote operation was a key design goal of the ROC 809. In addition to using low-power components, extensive use was made of the "sleep" modes provided by the CPU. Sleep modes shut down operations when they are not needed, such as certain software tasks, and they control power to devices such as LEDs. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 9 of 33

I/O Problems Solved l l Interfacing to end devices can be the weakest link in a measurement and control system. Problems related to grounding, wiring errors, electrical noise, and transients are commonplace. The ROC 809 solves many of these problems because we’ve designed its I/O and communications modules with accuracy, ruggedness and survivability in mind.

I/O Problems Solved l l Plug-in I/O modules make extensive use of optical (electrical) isolation, transient suppression, and current limiting. This dramatically improves reliability and virtually eliminates failures related to power, grounding and wiring errors. All I/O modules are isolated from the backplane to minimize crosscard failures. The benefits of this extensive protection are less downtime, fewer trips to the field for repairs, and reduced spares inventory to name a few. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 11 of 33

I/O Problems Solved l l To facilitate expansion or repair, I/O modules can be removed and replaced under power. To simplify configuration, they are selfidentifying to the firmware. An outstanding feature of the analog input modules is their high accuracy. For example, the 12 -bit module uses a 16 bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for greater accuracy than most competitive units. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 12 of 33

I/O Problems Solved l l Up to nine I/O modules can be plugged into the module slots in any order and combination of module types. The low point count density of these modules lets you better match I/O to your application requirements. You buy more of what you need, and less of what you don’t need. Should a module fail, the impact on your application is minimized. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 13 of 33

Communication Problems Solved l l Modern automation systems place increasingly greater demands on the communications capabilities of field equipment. We designed the ROC 809 to blend into almost any system environment by virtue of its wide range of communications and networking options. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 14 of 33

Communication Problems Solved l l With the Ethernet capability of the ROC 809, you can effectively extend your company’s local area network (LAN) to the field. You get more data at a lower cost than with conventional communications methods. When coupled with our DS 800 Development Suite, Ethernet makes it possible to network ROC 809 s, giving you tremendous I/O and control capabilities for large applications. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 15 of 33

Communication Problems Solved l l In addition to an Ethernet port, the ROC 809 has two built-in EIA-232 (RS-232) ports, one typically used for communications to a PCbased local operator interface, and one for communication to other devices. Three additional ports can be added using plug-in Communication Modules. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 16 of 33

Communication Problems Solved l l l An outstanding feature of the ROC 809 is its Spontaneous Report-by. Exception (SRBX) Data Transmission capability. A host computer can poll the ROC 809 at a userspecified time interval, or the unit can initiate a transmission when certain alarm conditions occur. SRBX can greatly reduce communication system loading and related costs. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 17 of 33

Application Problems Solved l l l The problem with many RTUs, PLCs and flow computers is their inability to meet a wide range of applications common to field installations. The ROC 809 addresses this problem with a comprehensive applications package that supports a wide range of metering and control needs. The package builds upon the outstanding features proven in tens of thousands of ROC 300 series installations worldwide. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 18 of 33

Application Problems Solved l l The power of the ROC 809 is demonstrated by the number of processes that it can handle simultaneously with a small amount of I/O. For example, 12 Meter Runs and 16 Control Loops can be managed by the ROC 809 using only two multi-variable sensor ports and 16 analog outputs. ESC to Exit Flow Computer Division ROC 809 19 of 33

Application Problems Solved l The ROC 809 s gas calculations comply with AGA and API standards and incorporate; – AGA 3 for orifice metering – AGA 7/ ISO 9951 for turbine metering – AGA 8 / ISO 12213 -2 for compressibility – API Chapter 21 Section 1. l Setting up meter runs is fast and easy with our fill-in-theblanks configuration method.
