Smart Metering Control Systems
A process acquisition control system is an integrated system comprised of hardware and software components that are configured to monitor and regulate complex industrial processes.
The purpose of the system is to control and calculate product flows through a meter line as well as streamline access to critical data, enabling operators to monitor process conditions and send control commands to the field connected devices. For instance, a system designed for flow measurement must be able to rapidly detect measurement variability and provide intelligence regarding the process upset to help expedite resolution.
About Supervisory Control Systems
System Design
A control system designed for fiscal flow measurement generally includes a logic controller and flow computers.
Ideally, the system offers multiple meter monitoring capabilities, built-in redundancy, and the ability to integrate with existing DCS hosts, SCADA and other third party control systems.
