Collecting FMS Liquid Ticket Data

The Emerson ROC800L (809L and 827L) field devices support the creation of liquid ticket devices. Perform the following to configure an FMS Liquid Ticket Device.

To Create and Configure a Liquid Ticket Device

1. Using CygNet Explorer, go to the applicable Device Definition Service (DDS) and create a new remote device or open an existing one.
2. If applicable, configure the remote device for basic use, including assigning a communication device and applicable facilities.
3. Add a linked facility for the FMS meter using the Facilities page of the remote device editor.
4. Click the Data Group page and poll the "ROC Config" (RtuConfig) data group. In the ROC Config data view, confirm that liquid point types (200, 201, 202, 203, 204, and 205) are available on the field device.
5. Instantiate the following data groups, making sure to carefully associate them with the applicable transaction set for each transaction set you want to poll from the host system, and making sure that each collection of the following data groups shares the same ordinal:
• TxHist – "Transactional History" - poll the data group.
• TxHisPtCfg – "Transactional History Point Cfg" - poll the data group.
• FmsTicket – "FMS Liquid Ticket" - set the Facility ID to the liquid meter, associate the data group with the applicable FMS ordinal and transaction set number, and map the Transactional history point to the correct Ticket item for each ticket item you want to pull into FMS. Set a correct unit for each mapped item. For the "Ticket Device Type" ticket item, the options for ROC800L devices are: 1=Meter, 2=Tank, 3=Scale.
• Poll the "FMS Liquid Ticket" (FmsTicket) data group. The data should match the start time and end time of the data polled from the "Transactional History" (TxHist) data group.

Note: Be very careful to map the correct item for the "Ticket Device Type" (tkt026) ticket item as this will determine what the FMS Ticket report displays. The type of meter determines how the report works. An incorrect mapping means incorrect data in FMS, the Ticket report will contain no data, and you won’t be able to successfully export data to Flow-Cal.

6. Create the FMS node using the FMS Page of the remote device editor.

1. Select meter and click Add.
2. On the FMS Node Type dialog box, select Liquid device and click OK.
3. In the New Liquid Device window, add Device name and Description and click Next.
4. In the Properties field, select Device install date (Device Time).
5. In the Supported data field, select Ticket history and click Next.

6. Enter the Contract offset (the hours from midnight when the contract day begins), select the Time zone, and click Finish.

7. Open FMS Explorer and click Retrieve Nodes.
8. Right-click the new node, select Execute FMS command > <Quick Command>. The Run FMS Command Definition window opens.
9. From the Command type drop-down menu, select Request New Data and click Run command. The data should be pulled into FMS without error.
10. You should now be able to execute a Reports: Ticket command to build a Ticket report.
