3. More capabilities from new systems
For new installations, the industry is looking for integra-

ted solutions, instead of separate, higher cost dedica-
ted systems. A solution that integrates the metering
function into the control system architecture provides
the basic answer. An added benefit comes from the
cost effectiveness of such a solution, from installation,
simple configuration and support / upgradeability over
the long term.
A Step Change in Metering Management: - Fiscal metering of all types

Honeywell’s MeterSuite is the most advanced, - Integrated into the control system

MeterSuite uses the C200 as the flow computer.
Additional flow computing calculations can easily be
configured in the software, linking in new instrument
inputs to results.
• Fewer systems to maintain, requiring less
training – More functions inside the control system
itself means no external system and custom interface
to maintain. This eliminates a separate database,
configuration, and graphics building effort common
with dedicated metering systems.
• Better overall use of the system – A standard user
interface encourages users to observe its operation
more closely.
• Web access to metering information, across the
enterprise – Or between businesses, such as part-
ners in specific fields, with regulator and tax authori-
ties. Having more metering information available
makes it easy to access related information, and all
from authorized web-page users on your Intranet.
• Choice of I/O for metering – The C200 controller
supports a wide variety of I/O, from analog, remote
I/O to FOUNDATION Fieldbus and HART, allowing
metering to follow your chosen approach to I/O.
“Technology and Innovation are increasingly important to the future success of the UK Continental Shelf and we
encourage the use of new solutions like that proposed by Honeywell for Fiscal metering applications. Honeywell's
Experion PKS provides a rich feature-set for trending, reporting, archiving and auditability functions that are
invaluable for everyday process applications and may prove to be equally beneficial as part of a fully integrated
"fiscal" metering solution.”
Douglas Griffin, Head of Measurement, Upstream, Dept of Trade & Industry - UK
