Volume conversion device with fl exible data logging function and confi gurable serial interface - Data logging for different applications - Monitoring of measurement values and station functions The EK220 is a battery-operated volume converter. The device records the low frequency operating volume pulses of a gas meter, measures the operating pressure and tempera-ture of the gas and calculates the compressibility K as well as the conversion factor C. The standard volumes, standard fl ow rates and operating fl ow rates can be calculated using The volume converter consists of a central unit with either an integrated or external pres- sure sensor and a temperature sensor. The sensors are permanently connected to the unit. The compressibility K can be programmed as a constant for all gases or calculated according to various methods of calculation.
The device is also available without a pressure sensor and can be used as a temperature conversion device. In this case the gas pressure for the volume conversion will be consid- ered with a fi xed value, which has to be confi gured during the commission of the device.
The EK220 can be used in many applications in the fi eld of natural gas measurement and station monitoring thanks to four digital outputs, a fl exible data logging function in con- junction with a freely confi gurable serial interface and different communication protocols.
• Optical interface for parameterisation Additional components for explosion-proof isolation of the interfaces and the intrinsically safe external voltage supply, and for data communication, extend the range of use of the • Integrated serial interface can be used • Second pressure sensor for monitoring In addition to volume conversion and data logging, the EK220 may be used for the fl ex- ible data recording of different measurements and, in conjunction with either a modem or RTU, for system monitoring.
Two additional digital inputs can be used for registering and monitoring the signal sen-sors such as the safety shut-off valves on regulators, the differential pressure switches in fi lters or for a simple door contact. The signals from such sensors can be saved in an archive as an event and can also be sent as a spontaneous message by text message or by e-mail via a connected modem.
The volume converter may optionally be fi tted with a second external pressure sensor, which allows to record the inlet or outlet pressure of the measuring system, or to monitor its limit values.
