 Overview
Introduction
This document provides installer requirements pertaining to ProSoft Technology’s
MVI56E-AFC Flow Computer MID certification.

General Installation Requirements

The installation requirements shall be as specified in EN1776. The conversion device and the
transducers shall be installed in a manner appropriate to the conditions necessary for their
effective use. The installation and the presence of the conversion device shall not affect the
measurement conditions by the gas meter with which it is associated.
The compatibility of the output of the gas meter and the input of the conversion device shall be
verified. In addition, it shall be verified that the display (converted and unconverted readings)
shall have a sufficient number of numerals to ensure that the volume passed during 8000 hours
at the meter’s flow rate of Qmax (and at the maximum likely conversion factor) does not return
all of the numerals to their original position.
The installation in hazardous or potentially hazardous areas shall be done in conformity with EN
60079-0, EN 60079-1, EN 60079-2, EN 60079-5, EN 60079-6, EN 60079-7, EN 600709-11, and
EN 60079-25.

The connections of transducers shall be done in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements.

Modbus Transducer Requirements

All associated transducers that are connected via Modbus must have a part or evaluation
certificate for the application legislation, R117 for Liquid, EN12405 for R140 for gas applications.

 Mounting Requirements
Mount the chassis with bolts or welded studs. If mounting brackets to a chassis do not lay flat
before nuts are tightened, use additional washers as shims to prevent the chassis from bending
when the nuts are tightened.

Note: Do not bend the chassis. Bending the chassis may damage the backplane resulting in poor connections.

The following diagrams illustrate:

 Stud-mounting a ground bus or chassis to the back panel of an enclosure
 Stud-mounting a back panel to an enclosure
 Bolt-mounting a ground bus or chassis to the back panel of an enclosure

 Grounding Requirements
 Complete grounding instructions are included in the Rockwell Automation 1770-4.1
Application Data – Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines (p6).
 Shielded cable instructions are included in the Rockwell Automation 1770-4.1
Application Data – Industrial Writing and Grounding Guidelines (P9).

Ground Bus Connections

ProSoft Technology, Inc.

August 15, 2018 Page 9 of 27
 Enclosure Wall Ground Connections

 Use a steel enclosure to guard against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). If the

enclosure door has a viewing window, it should be a laminated screen or a conductive
optical substrate to block EMI.

 Do not rely on hinges for electrical contact between the enclosure and the enclosure
door. Install a bonding wire.

 Connect an equipment grounding conductor directly from each chassis to an individual

bolt on the ground bus.

 If the chassis does not have a ground stud, use a mounting bolt as shown above.

For chassis with a ground stud, use the ground stud for this connection as shown in the
following diagram.

ProSoft Technology, Inc.

August 15, 2018 Page 10 of 27
 For a power supply without a ground-able power supply chassis (such as a power supply
module or mini processor with an integral power supply) with a chassis that is not internally
connected to its GND terminal, use a 14 AWG copper wire to connect its GND terminal to the
ground stud or mounting bolt connected to the ground bus. This helps to ensure adequate
ground for noise immunity.

Typical Grounding Configuration

 Cabling
Analog Input Wiring – 1756-IF16
Use Belden 8761 cables for each analog input channel. Connect the terminal of ground wire of
the 8761 cable to the chassis mounting tab using the Sems screw and Kep nut. The complete
grounding instructions for grounding of the 1756-IF16 is included in the Rockwell Automation
ControlLogix Analog I/O Modules User Manual, 1756-UM009D-EN-P.

Ferrite Beads are to be double wound and used on each analog input signal cable as specified
in the Rockwell Automation 1770-4.1 Application Data – Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines.

Ferrite beads can provide additional suppression of transient EMI. Fair-Rite Products
Corporation manufactures a ferrite bead (part number 2643626502) which can be slipped over
category-2 and -3 conductors. You can secure them with heat-shrink tubing or tie-wraps. With a
ferrite bead located near the end of a cable (or cable segment in the case of a daisy-chain or
dropline configuration) transient EMI induced onto the cable can be suppressed by the bead
before it enters the equipment connected to the end of the cable.

ProSoft Technology, Inc.

August 15, 2018 Page 13 of 27
 Differential Mode
Used for applications that can have separate signal ports or a common ground is not available.
This method is recommended for environments where improved noise immunity is required.

Note: Use the table when wiring your module in differential mode.

 All terminals marked RTN are connected internally.

 A 249Ω current loop resistor is located between IN-x and I RTN-x terminals.
 If multiple (+) or multiple (-) terminals are tied together, connect the tie point to a RTN
terminal to maintain the module’s accuracy.
 Place additional loop devices (strip chart records, etc.) at the A location in the current
loop.
 Do not connect more than two wires to any single terminal.

Note: When operating in four channel, high-speed mode, only use channels 0, 2, 4, and 6.

 Pulse Fidelity Wiring (ST103)
The ST103 will require two counters: one for the main pulse (Pulse A) and the other one for the
redundant pulse (Pulse B). Good and bad pulse counts as well as counter status is determined
via Modbus communication.

 Connect the serial cable that contains an RJ-45 connector to the middle port of the MVI56E-
AFC module located in Rack 3 (the liquid meter rack). Connect the DB-9 end to the ProSoft
1454-9F adapter. Wire the adapter to the ST-103 as follows:

ProSoft 1454-9F pin ST-103 pin

1 TB 2-11
8 TB 2-12
5 TB 2-6

Shielded Cables
Shielded cables help reduce the effect of electrical noise coupling. Ground each shield at one
end only. Shields grounded at both ends forms a ground loop which can cause a processor to
fault. Each shield must be connected directly to a chassis ground.

Never connect a shield to the common side of a logic circuit.

Avoid breaking shields at junction boxes. Many types of connectors for shielded conductors for
shielded conductors are available from various manufacturers. If you break a shield at a junction
box, do the following:
 Connect only Category-2 conductors in the junction box
 Do not strip the shield back any further than necessary to make a connection
 Connect the shields of the two cable segments to ensure continuity along the entire
length of the cable.

Module Wiring Options

Analog interface modules (AIFMs) - Mounts on DIN rails to provide the output terminal blocks
for the I/O module. Use the AIFMs with the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the
interface module.
Feed-through and Fusible AIFMs - Allows you to customize the wiring system to your
application. The fused AIFMs have 24V DC blown fuse indicators to locate and replace blown
fuses.
Pre-wired cables - Have a pre-wired RTB on one end to connect to the front of an analog
module and a D-shell connector on the other end to plug into a D-shell terminal.
The D-shell connectors, which are either 15 or 25 pins have a slide-locking mechanism for a
secure connection.

Refer to Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM009D-EN-P – March 2015 for a complete

listing of available cables.

 Sealing
The installer must seal process input and communications cables entry to the MVI56E-AFC.
This includes the communication cable between the MVI56E-AFC and the indicator device
(which views the MVI56E-AFC web page via a web browser). The type of seal used and
location is determined by the installer. However, all seals must meet the requirements set forth
in this document.
General Sealing Requirements
 Sealing is preferably carried out by means of lead seals. However, other types of sealing
are permitted on fragile instruments or when these seals provide sufficient integrity
(electronic seals for instance).
 Seals shall, in all cases, be easily accessible.
 Sealing devices shall be provided on all parts of the measuring systems that cannot
materially be protected otherwise against action likely to influence the measuring
accuracy.
 Sealing devices should prevent the parameters (among others, correction and
conversion parameters) used for determining the measurement results from being
altered when these parameters are not managed according to documented provisions or
a quality assurance system providing traceability of modifications.
 A stamping plate, the purpose of which is to receive the control marks, shall be sealed or
shall be permanently fixed on the measuring system. This stamping plate may be
combined with the identification plate of the measuring system.
 The seals shall be visibly fixed and easily accessible.
 Access shall only be allowed to authorize operators and secured in a manner sufficient
for the National Authority pertinent to the installation location.
 All connections between the MVI56E-AFC and transducers should be protected by
separate seals to avoid the breaking of the main metrological seal in case of component
replacement.
 Access to the interior of the enclosure is sealed via the padlock hasp with a lead and
wire seal and the metal guard blocks above and below the hinge.
