    “supercompressibility” is used for this deviation. It is small at very low pressure, but becomes substantial as the pressure increases. The EC350 automatically applies the supercompressibility factor and therefore the equation for total volume correction that the EC350 applies to metered volume, is expressed as: Where: Vb = gas volume (cu.

    EC350 accurately measures and maintains the total uncorrected volume passing through the meter on which it is installed. In addition to the uncorrected volume, EC350 also computes the corrected volume. The corrected volume is computed by multiplying a total correction factor by the uncorrected volume input from the meter.

  • Page 75: Uncorrected Volume

    EC350 supports gas volume measurement from directly mounted Rotary meters. Select the meter model from the list provided from item 432. In doing so, the EC350 will automatically set items 114 to its proper value based on item 439. Note that item 98 is not used in Direct mount rotary and is assumed to be value 1.0 CF or 1.0 m3 depending on Volume units.

If two switch sensors fail the EC350 will trigger a switch Alarm for the second ‘missing’ switch sensor and will then stop counting Volume input as it can no longer distinguish between back and forth partial rotations and full rotations.

  • Page 225 7.1 Use of RS232/RS485/UART Application EC350 is capable of communicating with a number of types of external devices, such as cellular or landline modems, and RTUs. EC350 supports the following protocols: MI Protocol, Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII. The description of those protocols is beyond the scope of this manual, although a basic discussion of Modbus operation is presented later in this chapter.
  • Page 226 7.1  Use of RS232/RS485/UART Configuration Parameters EC350 items in the ‘Communications’ group in MasterLink Software Application may need to be modified to accommodate a particular external device. Items 170 and 172 are primarily associated with the behavior of MI Protocol. These should normally left as default (shown here).
  • Page 227 7.2 Call in and call out Call in Call out 7.2.1 Call in EC350 has the capability to initiate a modem to modem telephone call. This is called call in and can happen under two circumstances. Alarm Call-In Scheduled Call-In.
  • Page 228 7.2.1.2 Scheduled Call In The EC350 can initiate a call at a preset time. The time may have been manually specified, but on an ongoing basis the host(s) is responsible for the schedule.  At the end of each call the host is must set item values that determine when the next call is to take place.
  • Page 229 Call In Sequence = BOTH: When a call is triggered, the EC350 will dial the first number first. Regardless of whether that call succeeds or fails, the second number will also be called. The BOTH algorithm ensures that both hosts will (eventually) receive notification.
  • Page 230 Not all call failures are resolved with ‘retries’. ‘Retries’ is defined as the termination of the current attempt and the scheduling of another attempt some minutes or hours hence. In some cases the EC350 may try to resolve the failure immediately. If, for instance, an initialization string is sent to the modem but no positive response is received within several seconds, it will simply send it again.
  • Page 231 (s) so it can accept calls from a host system during those times. The CNI2 consumes more power in server mode, regardless of whether communication occurs. EC350 can also be kept “awake” during the call out window(s) such that even the initial characters of a communication session are accepted. Otherwise, the initial characters “wake up” the EC350. The MI Protocol includes such wake up characters in its protocol so that this feature is not required for MI Protocol communication.
