Hello,
I have an INSTROMET Q.Sonic-3 Ultrasonic Flow Meter that was commissioned in 2001 with shared outputs to the Gas supplier and my site, the end user.
The outputs at the gas yard are scaled in 0-20ma for their use. I receive a PULSE that is equivalent to .50 MCF/hr. This PULSE signal has been connected to a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix PLC by way of a High Speed Counter (HSC) card since 2004. This PLC is no longer being utilized.
The site has Mark V Controls that were very recently "migrated" to a Mark VIe. The I/O is still Mark V based.
I am wondering if it is possible to integrate the PULSE given by the INSTROMET Q.Sonic-3 into the newly "migrated" controls? This signal would then be used to create daily and monthly fuel flow totals.
I see that speed pulses are available on QTBA and TBQB as defined in Toolbox. I am unfamiliar with reconciling the differences in the default Toolbox scaling to that of the Pulse utilized by the Q.Sonic Flow Meter.
Thanks in advance for any information that can be shared.
