Collecting Liquid Periodic Data

The Emerson FloBoss 107 supports the retrieval of periodic history on field devices running standard firmware v1.30 and above as well as Industry Canada (IC/MC) firmware v1.00.

To Collect Liquid Periodic Data

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. Click the Data Group page then poll the "ROC Config" (RtuConfig) data group. In the RtuConfig device editor data view, confirm that liquid point types (22, 23, 25, and 26) are available on the field device.
4. If you want to pull liquid configuration and value data into the CygNet SCADA system, perform these basic steps:
   1. Instantiate the applicable data group types. Depending on your needs, the following data group types might apply:
      • DensityIF – "Density Interface Parameters"
      • LiqMeter – "Liquid Meter Parameters"
      • LiqPref – "Liquid Preference Parameters"
      • LiqProd – "Liquid Product Parameters"
   2. Map UDCs to the applicable data group elements in the data groups.
   3. Create and configure points in the Point Service (PNT) that correspond to the mapped UDCs.
   4. Map the points to an associated application, like CygNet Studio.
   5. If applicable, create commands in applicable services like the DDS, and create polling tasks in the Master Scheduling Service (MSS).
5. If you want to retrieve historical liquid data that reflects the field device historical database, perform these steps:
   1. Configure the field device historical database.
   2. Instantiate a history data group type for each applicable history point. Depending on your needs, the following data group types might apply:
      • Hist60 – "Sixty Minute Point History"
      • PerHst – "Periodic History"
   3. Map UDCs to the applicable data group elements in the data groups.
   4. Create and configure points in the PNT that correspond to the mapped UDCs.
   5. Map the points to an associated application, like CygNet Studio.
   6. If applicable, create commands in applicable services like the DDS, and create polling tasks in the MSS.
6. If you want to use CygNet Measurement (FMS) to retrieve historical liquid data that reflects the field device historical database, perform these steps:
   1. Instantiate the following data group types, making sure to carefully associate them with the applicable liquid meter:
      • FmsConfig – "FMS Configuration"
      • FmsHistHGm – "FMS Hourly PM History"
      • FmsHistHGq – "FMS Hourly PQ History"
      • FmsProduct – "FMS Liquid Product"
      • Optional: FmsAlarm – "FMS Alarms"
      • Optional: FmsEvent – "FMS Events"
7. Perform advanced steps to further retrieve and distribute liquid meter data.
