SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION Inspec Sampler Controller
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
The Jiskoot InSpec Sampler system and user definable displays for quick access to frequently used
parameters. All interactions are perf level access can monitor the sampling process parameters throughout the batch via
the front panel. operator level access can monitor the sampling process parameters throughout the batch via the front
panel.
The InSpec uses a real-time, multi-tasking operating system and can form part of a distributed control system in
an Ethernet or serial network. If fully enabled, the InSpec can be networked protocol in either slave or master mode. The
InSpec Sampler is able to automatically print configurable batch reports and batch logs during a batch to a serial and/or
Ethernet printer. All archived batch reports, batch files and some system data can also be printed via the front display
menu.
An SD flash card is available to store all batch data, system log files and configuration changes. SD flash cards
up to 32 GB are supported.
The InSpec sampler also supports SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Batch reports and log files can be
automatically emailed to a designated recipient during a batch or via selection from the front display menu. Alarm
notification emails can also be configured for each individual email. System files can also be emailed via the front panel.
This is useful for customer support.
The internet-based Network Time Protocol (NTP) can also be configured to run on the InSpec. This protocol is
used to ensure the system time is synchronised via an external clock source on the internet. This feature can also be
configured with a GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) offset to assist accurate updates in different time zones. The InSpec also
supports Telnet for remote connection to the command line. This is an invaluable tool for remote customer support.
Many configuration and operational features are common across the range of InSpec controller applications
(Samplers and Blenders). To aid clarity and prevent repetition, this sampler application manual will simply point the reader
to the common manual where common menu items occur within the application menu tree.
1.1 MAIN FEATURES

• User friendly, simple to use.
• Details for batches can be prompted at the start of each batch.
• User-defined displays for quick access to commonly used parameters.
• LED and on-display alarm condition indicators.
• Time proportional or flow proportional operating modes.
• Alarms flash on alarm pages until acknowledged, shown until condition clears.
• Designed for easy control via a DCS or SCADA system.
• Flow can be measured, or a fixed manual flow value can be entered from the front panel.
• Analogue or pulse flow meter inputs.
• Analogue can weigh facility.
• A can selection system, automatic can change and manual can change if necessary.
• A fully configurable can architecture. Select specific start can, cans in system, cans per cycle, cans can be
in sequential order.
• An “Emergency Stop” when all cans have filled to prevent spillage.
• Grab sensor option for sample probe with set/reset failure detection.
• Up to 2 grabs per second (subject to mechanical and process constraints).
• Ability to take pre grabs and post displace grabs to accommodate bespoke systems.
• Provides start/stop control signals suitable for a powered pipeline mixer and fast loop pumps.

Inspec Sampler Controller SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
• Product temperature live, flow-weighted average and min./ max. levels.

• Live density monitoring.
• UCL – user configurable logic. Enables bespoke internal calculations for monitoring and output purposes.
• Automatic end of batch report generation and ability to print the last report.
• Printing to RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet ports Allowing printing of reports, user-definable log, UCL
file (if present) and registers.
• SMTP email support. Individual Alarm notification emails for each configurable alarm, automatic emailing of
batch report and log file at the end of a batch. Menu browser enables browsing, selection and emailing of
report/log files from historical batches.
• Modicon Modbus Protocol support (Master/Slave) for RS232, RS422, RS485 and Ethernet.
• NTP network time synchronisation. Automatic network time updates can be provided via the internet to reset
the system clock automatically. A configurable GMT offset is provided to accommodate different time zones.
The automatic update feature is protected during a batch. Time updates can only occur in waiting to prevent
corruption of calculated time during a batch.
• Telnet support – remote terminal access to the InSpec command line is available when the InSpec is
connected to the internet. Allows some remote diagnostics and support.
• Log files stored on the SD flash card record all significant data changes during the lifetime of the instrument.
This facility is invaluable for auditing purposes.
• Flash based application and bootloader software allows easy software upgrades.
• Menu driven user commands provide the ability to perform a number of simple calculations on registers
values.
• Web page with graphical schematic of a 2 can system.

A description of each menu item will now be given. In order to cover all topics, the options available under the
‘Engineer’ menu will now be explained.
3.4 CONTROL
Both the Operator and the Engineer user access levels provide the same available functions under the InSpec
Sampler’s control menu. The Control menu contains the primary controls for initiating the sampler and manually controlling
the parameters of the batch. These functions will be accessed frequently by the user of the InSpec and have therefore
been placed at the start of the menu.
3.4.1 START
Note, when you are not in the menu the button labelled ‘Start’ on the front panel has the same functionality as
this item in the control menu. For day-to-day use a user with operator level access is far more likely to stick to the
three front panel control buttons (Start, Stop and Reset) rather than enter the menu tree to initiate a batch.
15
3.4.2 STOP
The Stop command is used to stop a running batch. On selecting this option, a confirmation
prompt will appear before the stop command is executed or cancelled. Again, the front panel ‘Stop’ button also
performs this operation.
3.4.3 RESET
The Reset command is used to reset the batch and return the InSpec to the waiting phase. A batch will
normally be stopped and then reset, although it is possible to select reset whilst the sampler is running. In either
case a prompt will appear asking you to confirm your decision to reset the sampler. The front panel ‘reset’ button
also performs this operation.
3.4.4 PAUSE
In the pause mode the volume for the batch is no longer accumulated. A report is created when the sampler
goes into the pause mode.
3.4.5 EM.STOP
This is an additional and quick method of stopping the sampler by putting it immediately into emergency
stopped mode.
3.4.6 VIEW BATCH

This option results in a series of information pages being displayed to show the current or the last batch
parameters that were used. These values consist of a Batch, Flow, Density, Batch Sample Size, Linefill Volume
and Linefill sample Size. In time proportional sampling mode, the volume and flow values are replaced with the
Batch Duration value which is specified in days, hours and minutes E.g., 3:12:30 would indicate that the batch
duration is three days, twelve hours and thirty minutes.
3.4.7 NEXT BATCH CONF

The next batch conf menu offers two menu items as follows:
3.4.8 SETUP NEXT BATCH

This option mimics the sequence of prompts that are presented to the user when they select ‘Start’ from
the control menu or via the front panel quick start button. The entered values are used for the next batch that is
started.
3.4.9 VIEW NEXT BATCH

This option results in the same information pages as described in the View Batch section above, except
the values displayed will be those used during the next batch.
3.5 MANUAL
The Manual sub-menu of the control menu contains items which users can change during an active batch.
3.5.1 FLOW
If the flow is configured for an analogue or pulse input and the user attempts to manually adjust the flow,
a message box will appear stating that the application is ‘not configured for manual flow’.
3.5.2 BATCH DENSITY

This allows a user with operator level access to adjust a manually entered batch density. This density
will then be used from then on. Calculations before will still use the prior density value for the batch.
16
3.5.3 PIDBLOCK SP
This allows a user with operator level access to manually adjust the set-point of any user configured PID
control blocks.
3.5.4 NEW CAN

Forces an immediate can change. A warning message will appear if there is no can to change to.
3.5.5 NEXT CYCLIC

This option is active under cyclic batch mode. It allows the user to force the sampler into the next cyclic
batch. Cyclic batch is a mode of operation and is configured via the operation→sampling mode menu.
Note: If you are operating in time proportional mode then you will be prompted for the time of the next
batch change during this process and asked to enter the change hour, change minutes and the change number of
days between the desired changes. Note that if you are using a SCADA system and wish to amend this change
time remotely, then the following registers must be written to across the DCS link.
If you wish to change the change time for the next batch, then you will need to set the following two registers
with your chosen hour and minutes next settings:
C_HOUR_NXT
C_MINS_NXT
These values are then used to reconstruct the internal S_BA_CHANGE_TIME_NXT string register with
the new hour and min values. The new string will not be constructed until a one is also written to the following
register.
C_REMOTE_TIME_CHANGE
This forces the new string to be built. This register value is then automatically reset to zero.
The I_CHANGE_BA_DAYS_NXT register can be amended to indicate how many days there are between
batch changes.
3.6 ALARMS
See common manual for a full description of the alarms.
3.6.1 DISPLAY ALARMS

This item displays the list of alarms which are currently active or unacknowledged. This can be accessed
more directly from the front panel using the down key.
3.6.2 CONFIG ALARMS

This allows a user with engineer level access to configure each of the user configurable alarms.
Configurable alarms allow engineer to create alarms based on the InSpec’s internal registers and system phases.
A user with engineer level access steps through the process of setting the alarm text, picking the source
register, this contains the value to alarm on, selecting a register for when the alarm is active, and whether this
should be inverted (inverted means active when 0). Then you select the source register minimum and maximum
values outside which the alarm is triggered. These values can also be inverted so that the alarm is triggered when
it is between, not outside of, these min / max values. The hysteresis can then provide some tolerance for these
values so that the alarms do not rapidly toggle on and off. All the phases where the alarm is active must then be
selected. A delay can then be added to the alarm so that the alarm must be true for X seconds before it is triggered.
The engineer must then select if this alarm will be sent to the external alarm output, they must state the type of the
alarm and whether or not the alarm should have email notification.
3.6.3 DELETE ALARMS

Allows a user with engineer level access to delete any of the configurable alarms.
17
3.6.4 SCROLL SETUP

This item allows you to configure whether or not you want the auto scroll feature on in the alarms menu
and what the time out period is between each displayed item.
3.6.5 ALARM OUTPUT

The register C_ACTIVE_ALARM is used to send a general output signal to indicate when there is an
active alarm. The Alarm Setup menu (see above) allows for individual alarms to be excluded or included. The output
signal itself can be held steady or it can toggle between being on/off. This menu allows you to choose whether you
want the output signal to be steady or toggling.
3.6.6 SAMPLER SPECIFIC ALARMS
WGT ALARM 1
The two weight alarms are triggered if the scaled ADC input value is less than or greater than
the configurable ADC min and max values. Note that these weigh alarms are the default alarms for ADC
input 1 and 2. However the display text for the alarm title can be changed if the ADC inputs are used for
an alternative input to weigh.
WGT ALARM 2
See above
FLOW INPUT ALARM
The flow input alarm is triggered if the scaled ADC input value is less than or greater than the
configurable ADC min and max value. Note that an analogue flow input on ADC 3 is required for this alarm
to be valid. I.e., If the flow type is changed from ADC to manual or pulse then the text for this associated
alarm title becomes redundant and should be changed to reflect whatever ADC3 is setup to read as an
input.
NO CANS
This alarm is triggered when a new can (Sampler Receiver) is required but there are no more
available to change to, if the controller is sampling it will then go into the emergency stopped status which
halts sampling.
GRABBING TOO FAST
If the minimum grab time (I_GRAB_ON_TIME+ I_GRAB_OFF_TIME) is greater than the time
interval required between grabs, then the controller is grabbing too fast and this alarm will be triggered.
TOTAL MISSED GRABS
This alarm is triggered when the number of grabs missed exceeds the configurable alarm
threshold. I.E., The number of grabs counted differs from the number of grabs expected.
CONSEC MISSED GRABS
This alarm is triggered when the number of grabs missed exceeds the configurable grabs
missed max value (C_CON_GRAB_MAX).
BAD BATCH PF
This alarm is triggered when the calculated batch pf is less than or greater than the configurable
threshold registers F_BATCH_PF_MAX and F_BATCH_PF_MIN.
BAD GRAB PF
This alarm is triggered when the calculated can pf is less than or greater than the configurable
threshold registers F_GRAB_PF_MAX and F_GRAB_PF_MIN.
BAD CAN PF
This alarm is triggered when the calculated can pf is less than or greater than the configurable
threshold registers F_CAN_PF_MAX and F_CAN_PF_MIN.
18
BAD SHORT PF
This alarm is triggered when the calculated batch pf is less than or greater than the configurable
threshold registers F_SHORT_TERM_PF_MAX and F_SHORT_TERM_PF_MIN.
PROBE SERVICE REQ'D

This alarm is triggered when the accumulated grab total exceeds the configurable threshold
value L_SERVICE_GRABS_MAX.
LOOP FAULT
This alarm is triggered by a digital in signal. This informs the controller of a loop fault.
UNSAM GRAB MAX

This alarm is triggered when the number of unsampled grabs (F_UNSAM_GRABS) is less than
or greater than the configurable threshold registers F_UNSAM_GRABS_MAX and
F_UNSAM_GRABS_MIN.
BAD TARE 1
The tare alarms are triggered when the respective can condition registers
(C_CAN_CONDITION1 & C_CAN_CONDITION2) indicate that the can is either above or below the
accepted tare weight.
BAD TARE 2
See Above. Note: Whilst the InSpec has a 16 can configurable architecture, 2 can systems are
still by far the most common. For this reason, these two alarms have been left in as default. If required,
you can configure additional bad tare alarms for any additional cans in your system.
POWER FAILURE
This alarm is triggered when the InSpec has previously encountered a power cycle during an
active phase. The alarm is not triggered when a power cycle occurs in the ‘Waiting’ phase.
SD MEMORY MIN
This alarm is triggered when the memory on the SD card is getting to a user specified minimum
value. The low threshold is stored within the C_SD_CARD_MIN register.
SD MEMORY LOW
This alarm is triggered when the memory on the SD card is getting to a user specified low value.
The low threshold is stored within the C_SD_CARD_LOW register.
REPORT NUM.MAX
This indicates when the maximum number of reports (per batch folder) have been generated.
The maximum value for this alarm is 30 reports. The counter for the reports is held and incremented in
I_REPORT_NUMBER.
IO COMMS FAILURE
If any remote IO InSpec devices connected to this, the master Sampler InSpec, lose connection
for any reason then this alarm will be triggered to warn you that the communications have failed. By
default, this is an emergency stop alarm, so if in a non-waiting phase, the InSpec will go into emergency
stop. For further information, go to the IO Setup & Test→ Remote Setup page. Here you will be able to
see which of your devices is not responding.
IO INCOMPATIBLE
The software for the sampler and the software for the IO device are released together as a
compatible pair. E.g., Sampler version 4.00 software will have an associated IO version 4.00 software
that was compiled for the Sampler application. Internal data registers communicate between the devices
in order to ascertain whether the correct compatible pair have been installed. If there is a mismatch
between either the version number of the two installed software versions or the application type that the
IO was compiled for, then the alarm will be triggered.
19
CAN ERROR
In the waiting phase, the sampler software continually checks the requested can architecture
versus the available can architecture. If there is a mismatch between the two then the can error alarm is
triggered. The operator needs to understand the can architecture and the principles of operation well in
order to understand what might be wrong when the alarm is triggered. If this alarm is triggered,
essentially it means that one or more of the required cans proposed are not available. Here are some
example scenarios:
1. You have 8 cans in your system, you require 4 per cycle and have selected the start can
as can 2. Can 2 however is out of tare. The alarm will be triggered. If you now change the
start can to ‘any can’, the alarm will deactivate.
2. You have 3 cans in your system, you require 2 per cycle, you have selected ‘can 1’ to start
on and have stated that the cans are in order. Can 2 is out of tare. The alarm will be
triggered because there are not two available cans in order. If you change the start can to
can 3, the alarm will deactivate because it will now use Cans 3 and 1 and fulfil both the
required cans per cycle --- 2 and the need to be in order.
3. You have 6 cans in your system, you require 4 cans to start, 4 per cycle, you have selected
any can to start and the cans do not have to be in order. Can 3 is above tare, cans 5 and
6 are below tare. Therefore, 3 of your 6 cans are unavailable. There are 3 cans remaining,
but you require both 4 to start and 4 per cycle. The alarm is active. Bring can 3 back into
tare and the alarm will be deactivated.
4. Alternatively to the above active alarm scenario. Reduce the start cans to 3 and select
infinite cans. This will also deactivate the alarm. When infinite cans option is selected, there
is no ‘per cycle’ requirement to be met. This simplifies the rules that enable a valid can
architecture.
3.6.7 LEDs
Sampler LEDs
There now follows a short description of the LEDs as shown in the above diagram.
3.6.8 STATUS
The status LED is used to indicate what the current status (operating condition) of the controller is. The
given colour is dependent on the status as follows:
• RESETTING: ALL OFF
• WAITING: ALL OFF
• STARTING: BLUE STEADY
• LF_SAMPLE: BLUE STEADY
• LF_FINISH: BLUE STEADY
• LINEFILL: BLUE STEADY
• SAMPLING: GREEN STEADY
• STOPPING: RED STEADY
• STOPPED: RED STEADY
• EM_STOPPING: RED FLASHING
• EM_STOPPED: RED FLASHING
20
3.6.9 ALARM
The Alarm LED shows the current highest level of alarm ranging from no alarms to controlled stop or
emergency stop alarms (acknowledged or unacknowledged). If the LED is off it indicates no alarms, blue indicates
a warning alarm and red indicates a controlled stop or emergency stop alarm. Blue (warning alarms) and red
(controlled or emergency stop alarms) flash if the given alarm is unacknowledged. The following indicates the
alarm led condition in accordance with what alarm types are currently active and whether they are acknowledged
or unacknowledged.
ALARM TYPE STATE LED
NO ALARMS N/A OFF
WARNING ALARM UNACKNOWLEDGED BLUE FLASHING
WARNING ALARM ACKNOWLEDGED BLUE STEADY
CONTROLLED STOP ALARM UNACKNOWLEDGED RED FLASHING
CONTROLLED STOP ALARM ACKNOWLEDGED RED STEADY
EMERGENCY STOP ALARM UNACKNOWLEDGED RED FLASHING
EMERGENCY STOP ALARM ACKNOWLEDGED RED STEADY
3.6.10 ACKNOWLEDGING UNACKNOWLEDGED ALARMS

Alarms can be acknowledged in a two-step process using the front panel down key (labelled ‘ACK’ beneath
the key). Pressing this down key once when you are not in the menu takes you straight into the alarm page. All
alarms will be listed, and you can step through them in a list to see which alarms are currently active (acknowledged
or unacknowledged). Pressing this key again will acknowledge all the alarms.
This is a quick method of quickly accessing the alarms. Alternatively, you can of course browse the menu
structure ‘Control → Alarms→ Display Alarms’. Again, pressing the down ack cursor button in this display will
acknowledge all alarms.
3.6.11 RECEIVER 1
The receiver LEDs indicate the current condition of the sampler’s can receivers as follows:
• In tare. Ready for filling: LED OFF.
• Can ok and filling: GREEN STEADY.
• Below or Above Tare: RED. Note if a can is not present then it is effectively below tare
and the receiver LED will also appear RED.
3.6.12 RECEIVER 2
As for receiver 1 but for receiver 2.
Note: There are no indicators for receivers above 2 to 16.
3.7 REGISTER ACCESS

3.8 DISPLAY
3.8.1 BASIC SCREEN LAYOUT
The InSpec display consists of a 20x2 LCD display. The display operates within several modes. A full
description of the controller interface is covered in the InSpec common manual. The most common screen that a
user will see during day-to-day use is the front display screen. This is a typical default screen shown during
operation.
21
Note that the three-letter status indicator display is application specific. The following three letter abbreviations
are used to denote the following Sampler status conditions:
• RST = RESETTING.
• WGT = WAITING.
• STA = STARTING.
• LFS = LINEFILL SAMPLE.
• LFF = LINEFILL FINISHING.
• LFP = LINEFILL PASSING.
• SAM = SAMPLING.
• STG=STOPPING:
• STD = STOPPED.
• ESG = EM STOPPING.
• ESD = EM_STOPPED.
The display menu item allows specific commonly required values to be selected for display. This section is
covered in the common manual. The specific Sampler related display items that are available are now described. Selecting
any of the given display items will result in a prompt appearing to ask you which one of the twelve display slots you wish
to assign the item to. Most of these items are self-explanatory by their title alone. There are various options under each

selection and setup of a can flow meter. This is similar to how you configure a mainline flow meter and
offers settings for the type of can flow input used (Pulse, ADC etc), the Qty to Flow, Frequency and pulse
source (for pulse input), meter factor, flow cutoff and flow damping. These settings will be familiar to the
engineer who configured the flow meter for the Sampler and should only be set by a qualified engineer
when the system is in the waiting phase of operation.

3.10 OPERATION
3.10.1 QTY TO FLOW
This is used to define the ratio of quantity to flow. If the flow is measured in “volume per time”, this value
is “time” if it was measured in seconds, i.e. 1 hour is 3600 seconds and thus we would use 3600 seconds. Typical
values are provided but should these not suffice then an alternate value can be entered.
3.10.2 SET FLOW TYPE

The InSpec sampler has three flow modes: Manual, ADC, Pulse and Modbus. This menu item is used to
select and configure which one of these flow types you wish to use during your batch. The option is shown below:
You will then be asked to select a specific flow type from the subset, manual, adc or pulse.
3.10.3 SAMPLING MODE

The InSpec sampler has two modes of operation: Flow proportional sampling and time proportional
sampling.
This menu item allows you to select your mode of operation. A choice dialog with the two options appears.
Flow proportional sampling

In flow proportional sampling the required sample volume/grab rate is acquired and calculated in relation
to the required volume. Every set period of volume a grab is taken. The register F_BA_VOL_B_GRABS holds
this value. The inter grab volume is only calculated once at the start of a batch. Linefill can be used in flow
proportional sampling.
Time proportional sampling

In time proportional sampling the sample volume/grab rate is acquired and calculated in relation to the
time/duration of the batch. Every set period of time a grab is taken. Linefill is not available in time proportional
sampling.
After selecting the sampler mode, you will be asked whether you wish to use cyclic batching?
If you selected flow proportional sampling mode and wish to use cyclic batching, you will then be asked
whether you wish the cyclic batches to change on time or on volume.
28
If you are using cyclic batching, you will have to confirm whether you are using infinite cans or not. If not,
simply enter the number of required cans.
3.10.4 GRAB
The grab function is integral to the accuracy of any batch sample. This section allows the software
components of grab to be configured. The user is prompted for the grab size in cubic centimetres and then the
number of grabs before service to the grab probe is required. You are then asked if you wish to reset this service
grab counter. Typically, this is done after service. The next question asks whether a grab sensor is connected.
You must now enter the grab on time in milliseconds. This is the time taken to initiate a sample grab.
Secondly the grab off time is configured, which is the minimum time to reset the probe for the next grab cycle. By
default, these values are both set to 250mS. This means that together the shortest allowable time for a single
grab to be taken is 500mS.
There is also the ability to enter Pre-Fill Grabs and Post Displace Grabs. This can be used to overcome
scenarios in which the sample lines to the receivers are unusually long. The pre-fill grabs are configured so that
enough grabs are taken to fill the entire line up to and prior to the can being sampled into. At the end of a batch
the post displace grabs are then taken as fast as possible to empty the line into the can. Ideally the pre and post
grab settings would be the same but in reality, they will probably need to be fine-tuned to suit the system. With
this system a manual purge of the line would need to be performed between batches to prevent cross
contamination.
AUX CONTROL
This configures auxiliary control. I.E., Motor control for jet mix pumps, fast loop pumps, etc.
First, we are asked to select what condition drives the auxiliary control – the status or the flow. In status
mode, the motor signal is turned on in all status conditions except for in Waiting (WTG), Resetting (RST), Stopped
(STD) and Emergency stopped (ESD). The current status value is held in the I_PHASE register and is also
displayed on the bottom left of the front display. Each status has a three-letter abbreviation. In flow mode, the
motor signal is on if there is any flow at all and we are not in either the emergency stopped or waiting status
conditions.
You are then asked to select a value for the aux off delay. This is the number of seconds that will count
down before the off signal turns the motor off. The default is 5 seconds. This off delay prevents frequent tripping
of the motor around a set point. This can be very damaging for sensitive pumps.
Then you are asked to enter a value for the signal fleet time. This value stores the duration in seconds
for holding the fleet output signals. The default is 2 seconds.
Finally, you are asked to enter a value for aux start delay qty, this prevents the starting of the auxiliary
control until the specified amount of volume has elapsed. The default is 0.
3.10.5 LINEFILL CONFIG

Confirm if you wish to use linefill. If so, specify the linefill volume, whether you wish to sample this volume
and if so, what linefill sample volume is required. You are then asked if a grab sensor will be used to sense the
grabs during the linefill period. Note: on completion of linefill the controller automatically changes cans.
3.10.6 P. FACTORS
There are four performance factors (PF) in the InSpec as follows:
“Batch” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for the total batch processed so far
verses the actual sample for the batch according to the can weigh. This value is calculated by dividing the live
total sample volume by the expected sample volume. In an ideal system they will be identical with a performance
factor of 1.
Batch PF = Measured batch sample volume/Expected batch sample volume.
“Grab” performance factor is based upon the calculated sample based on number of grabs taken verses
the actual sample for the batch according to the can weigh. This value is calculated by dividing the live total
sample volume by the calculated sample volume. In an ideal system they will be identical with a performance
factor of 1.
Grab PF = Measured batch sample volume/Calculated batch sample volume taken.
29
“Can” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for the current can verses the actual
sample for this can according to can weigh.
Can PF = Measured can sample volume/Expected can sample volume.
“Short term” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for a user configurable grab count
verses actual sample according to the can weigh for that grab count. The short-term PF uses a sliding average
of the data over the number of short term PF grabs.
Short term PF = Measured volume sliding average/Expected volume sliding average.
Batch PF and grab PF might at first look to be the same however this is incorrect, Grab PF will not show
a problem when the system is unable to keep up with the required grab rate, when Batch PF will. Grab PF can
be used to prove the grab probe is taking the correct amount of sample, while Batch PF should be used to validate
the actual batch.
3.10.7 DENSITY UNITS

Here you select or enter a custom density scaling unit. You can select from API, SG, KG/M3, KG/L or
enter your own.
3.10.8 ADC SETUP

This menu item allows the ADC inputs to be scaled. You will be prompted for the min and a max scaling
value and the min and max alarm threshold values for the selected ADC, 1 to 3.
3.10.9 CANS
NUMBER OF CANS
This is the number of cans that are in the system, this can be either infinite or up to 16 cans maximum.
ARCHITECTURE
Here you enter the parameters for the can architecture of the system. You will be prompted to enter the
number of cans in the system (limited to 16 maximum), the number of available cans that need to be available for
the sampler to start, which specific can to start on (enter can number or select any) and finally whether the cans
are to be used in sequential orders.
SET TARES
Enter the max and the min tare for the specified can in the architecture, from 1 to a maximum of 16.
VOLUMES
Sets the volume for the required sample and also sets the larger can change volume where the can is
considered full and must be changed.
CHANGE WEIGHT
This is the weight at which the can will change. The sampler also has a change volume. Both this and
the change weight are checked during a batch. If either are exceeded, then a can change event will occur.
CAN LIVE INPUT

In this section you get to configure the can input system. You select whether it is based on weight or
volume and what the input type is – analogue, Modbus or simulated.
CAN SIMULATOR
Here you can turn on a can simulator that simulates different tare and leak conditions up to 16 can
architecture. This is purely used for test and demonstration purposes and should never be used in a live system.
3.10.10 USER FWA BLOCK

See common manual
30
3.10.11 PID BLOCKS

The InSpec has 10 configurable PID blocks. These are configured via this menu item which contains 2
sub - menus. The PID blocks items consists of three sub menus:
PID Config: here you will be prompted to turn the specific PID block on (1-10), to enter the source
register (PID input), the active phases, whether the PID should jump to a specific value when it goes into a non-
active phase and if so, what this value should be; what the start value should be and finally the minimum and
maximum value for the PID output.
3.10.12 SOURCE / PROMPTS

At the start of each batch you will be prompted for whatever auto prompts are turned on. The required
prompts can be toggled on and off in this menu section. The available menu prompts are:
BATCH TITLES
Enter a name or title of the batch.
BATCH ID
Enter a numerical ID for the batch.
LINEFILL
This is used for using and configuring Linefill.
VOLUME / TIME
This is used to enter either the time or volume of a batch depending on operating mode.
BATCH DENSITY
Enter the density of the batch.
BATCH FLOW
Enter the flow of the batch.
BATCH START
Confirmation of the start of a batch.
SAMPLE VOLUME
For entering the required sample volume size.
PID BLOCKS
For entering the required set point for any configured PID blocks. There is a prompt for each PID Block.
CUSTOM PROMPTS
For configuring user prompts at the start of a batch. This is particularly useful for UCL programs where
input is required.

SECTION 5: SAMPLER OPERATION Inspec Sampler Controller
SECTION 5: SAMPLER OPERATION

5.1 BATCHES
5.1.1 TITLES
If the user batch titles option is used, then the user is prompted to enter the title for each of the batches.
The entered value is stored in the S_BATCH_TITLE register and appears in the batch report under the heading
“BATCH NAME:”
5.1.2 PROMPTED, NEXT BATCH, CYCLIC BATCHING

InSpec sampler batches can be initiated and/or repeated in several ways. By default, the sampler
operates in single batching flow proportional mode.
Single batching flow proportional mode – a user will manually start the batch. The batch will always
have to be reset manually. The requested sample size will be achieved over the specified required volume, but
the principle is that whilst there is flow, the sampler will continue to operate, and the system will take grabs until
the last can is filled. If the last can is filled and there are no more cans to change to then the sampler will go into
emergency stop.
Single batching time proportional mode – a user will manually start the batch. The requested sample
size will be achieved over the specified time duration. If the last can is filled and there are no more cans to change
to then the sampler will go into emergency stop. If the system does not have infinite can architecture, the no cans
left emergency stop alarm will be triggered when there are no more cans to change to.
Cyclic batching flow proportional mode – a user will manually start the first batch. The requested
sample size will be achieved over the specified required volume and the sampler will stop and reset automatically
and continue with the next batch parameters. If the system is setup with infinite can architecture, then this will
continue indefinitely until the user manually stops and resets the system. If the system does not have infinite can
architecture, the no cans left emergency stop alarm will be triggered when there are no more cans to change to.
Note: When you start a cyclic batch, you will still have to enter the initial start parameters in accordance
with what auto prompts are currently configured. Once the cyclic batching process is underway you can change
the parameters for the next batch via the ‘Next Batch Conf’ menu.
Cyclic batching time proportional mode – a user will manually start the batch. The requested sample
size will be achieved over the specified time duration and the sampler will stop and reset automatically and
continue with the next batch parameters. If the system is setup with infinite can architecture, then this will continue
indefinitely until the user stops and resets the system. If the system does not have infinite can architecture, the
no cans left emergency stop alarm will be triggered when there are no more cans to change to.
Note: Linefill is NOT available in time proportional mode. When you start a cyclic batch, you will still have
to enter the initial start parameters in accordance with what auto prompts are currently configured. Once the cyclic
batching process is underway you can change the parameters for the next batch via the ‘Next Batch Conf’ menu.
Automatic batch changes can be triggered/can occur in four different ways.
Manual (from the menu), each batch will continue to run until a batch change is requested using the
start button, (touch bottom left), or via an external contact connected to a digital input.
On Volume (in cyclic batching), once the set batch volume has been reached the system will
automatically change to the next batch. A manual batch change can still be initiated as in the manual mode above.
Change Time (in cyclic batching), this is where the user is prompted to enter a time in the 24-clock
format at which time the batch will be changed.
Elapsed Time (in Time proportional mode), this is the amount of time to let the batch run for. On
reaching this limit the batch will be changed.
5.1.3 STARTING A BATCH

To start sampling either select the soft ‘Start’ key button on the front display or enter the control menu
and select the option start using the cursor and enter keys respectively.
36
Inspec Sampler Controller SECTION 5: SAMPLER OPERATION
The batch details and any required line-fill configuration have to be entered in accordance with which
auto prompts have been enabled before it is possible to start. It is feasible to have all auto prompts turned off and
if the sampler is started via the menu it will immediately start. For safety cautions you will always be asked to
confirm the use of the front panel soft key ‘Start’ button. Before sampling commences a check is made to ensure
that there is at least one valid can available, the exact number required depends on the option selected in
Configuration/Cans/Starting. A valid can has a weight between the minimum and maximum tare limits. If a can
weigh system is not present, then it is always assumed that there is a can available. If a can is not available, then
the sampling system will not start.
5.1.4 STOPPING A BATCH

To stop sampling use the control screen brought up by touching the bottom left screen area and touching
the STOP button. Alternatively use the external digital stop contact. While this stops the sampler sampling, it does
not terminate the batch. This means that if flow is still occurring it will be totalled but no samples will be taken,
thus reducing the performance factor, and eventually causing alarms. To terminate the batch, the batch must be
stopped, and then reset.
5.1.5 RESUMING A BATCH

A batch can be resumed if the unit is in the Stopped or Emergency Stopped phase. If the unit performed
an emergency stop this was because a new can was required but none were available or the maximum number
of cans have been used. To continue sampling, place an empty can on the system and / or increase the number
of cans in the Configuration menu, or use the external digital start contact and START.
5.1.6 RESETTING A BATCH

When the InSpec is in the Stopped or Emergency Stopped phase, the batch can be reset to change the
phase to Waiting ready for the next batch.
To reset, bring up the control pad by touching the bottom left screen area and touch the RESET button.
Alternatively use the external digital reset contact.
The reset command tells the InSpec that the currently loaded batch has completed and causes a batch
report to be generated and stored. If enabled, a number of copies of the batch report will be automatically printed.
If multiple batches are used, the reset command will also reset the batch counter so that the next batch to start
will be batch one.
5.1.7 MANUAL INTERVENTION

During a batch some of the parameters can be manually altered. A manual flow can be entered, the
InSpec can be switched to auto or manual flow, and a request to sample in to a fresh receiver done at any time.
Batch volume and batch density can only be modified whilst the InSpec is in the Stopped or Emergency Stopped
states. This change only affects the currently loaded batch, when the batch is re-run from Waiting or after a batch
change, the values entered during batch set up will be loaded. If a batch is manually changed a warning message
to that effect will be printed on the end of the batch report.
5.2 LINEFILL
The volume may be sampled, and if so then the sample will be held in a separate receiver to that of
the main batch, so it is important to ensure that enough cans are available for use. may be sampled, and if so
then the sample will be held in a separate receiver to that of the main batch, so it is important to ensure that
enough cans are available for use.
A user with engineer access can configure linefill so that the auto prompt appears whenever a batch is
started. At start up this prompts for whether linefill is to be performed, the linefill volume operator access to
confirm and activate linefill at the start of a batch. A user with engineer level access can also configure the default
values for linefill via the operations menu. The parameters are the same as at batch start up, with the exception
that a user with engineer level access is also asked to confirm whether a grab sensor is used during the linefill
period. level access is also asked to confirm whether a grab sensor is used during the linefill period.
Due to the relatively small volume of linefill, if sampling is required it is possible to drive the grab probe
too fast, generating alarms. To prevent this, grab sensing can be inhibited during linefill sampling. This option is
selected whilst setting up linefill.
37
SECTION 5: SAMPLER OPERATION Inspec Sampler Controller
5.3 AUX CONTROL

Aux control in the InSpec Sampler can be activated/de-activated by either flow or by status condition.
The C_AUX_MODE register determines what the activation mode is. Setting this register to 1 puts aux control
into flow control mode.
5.4 THE PERFORMANCE FACTORS

There are four performance factors within the InSpec Sampler. These are as follows:
“Batch” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for the total batch processed so far
verses actual sample for the batch. This performance factor corresponds to the ANSI/ASTM D4177 standard.
“Grab” performance factor is based upon the calculated sample for the number of grabs taken verses
actual sample for the batch. This performance factor corresponds to the ANSI/ASTM D4177 standard.
“Can” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for the current can verses actual sample
for this can.
“Short term” performance factor is based upon the expected sample for a user configurable grab count
verses actual sample for that grab count.
5.4.1 BATCH PERFORMANCE FACTOR CALCULATIONS

The batch performance factor is an overall system check that compares the accumulated batch sample
volume to the expected one.
AccumulatedBatchSampleVolume
BatchPF=
ExpectedBatchSampleVolume
The accumulated batch sample volume is the actual volume collected so far, where:
AccumulatedBatchSampleWeight
AccumulatedBatchSampleVolume =
MeanDensityinput
The expected batch sample volume is the theoretical sample volume that should have been collected so
far for the elapsed batch size, where:
MeasuredBatchVolume
ExpectedBatchSampleVolume = * RequiredSampleVolume
RequiredBatchVolume
5.4.2 GRAB PERFORMANCE FACTOR CALCULATIONS

The grab performance factor is a grab volume check that compares the accumulated batch sample
volume to the calculated one.
AccumulatedBatchSampleVolume
GrabPF =
CalculatedBatchSampleVolume
The accumulated batch sample volume is the actual volume collected so far, where:
AccumulatedBatchSampleWeight
AccumulatedBatchSampleVolume =
MeanDensityinput
The calculated batch sample volume is the actual sample so far for the number of grabs, where:
CalculatedBatchSampleVolume = Numberofgrabstaken * GrabVolume
5.4.3 CAN PERFORMANCE FACTOR CALCULATIONS

The can performance factor is a system check that compares the accumulated can sample volume for
the current can to the expected one.
38
Inspec Sampler Controller SECTION 5: SAMPLER OPERATION
AccumulatedCanSampleVolume
CanPF =
ExpectedCanSampleVolume
The accumulated can sample volume is the actual volume collected for the can so far, where,
AccumulatedCanSampleWeight
AccumulatedCanSampleVolume =
MeanCanDensity input
The expected can sample volume is the theoretical sample volume collected so far for the volume passed
for this can, where:
BatchVolumeThisCan
ExpectedCanSampleVolume = * RequiredSampleVolume
RequiredBatchVolume
5.4.4 SHORT TERM PERFORMANCE FACTOR CALCULATIONS

The short-term performance factor is a sliding system check based on the grabs that have been taken.
It compares the accumulated can sample volume over a number of grabs for the current can to the calculated
sample volume over the same number of short term grabs. The short-term grab count is configurable. This forms
the sliding average width for the calculation. Where n = grab number,
ShortTermPF(n) =
AccumulatedCanSampleVolume n − AccumulatedCanSampleVolume n -ShortTermGrabCount
Grab Volume * ShortTermGrabCount

SECTION 6: REMOTE IO MODULE Inspec Sampler Controller
SECTION 6: REMOTE IO MODULE

6.1 INTRODUCTION
The Master InSpec Controller can expand the capabilities of its core process application via expansion
of the available Field IO. There is an additional InSpec application called the Remote IO (RIO) There are four
Remote IO variants with a maximum slot expandability of up to 14 RIO Modules.
Using the web interface connected to the Master InSpec Controller access to the RIO is made via the IP
address of the RIO unit. The RIO device can literally be remote in the field and connected to via the Master InSpec
controller’s web interface.
6.2 TYPE OF RIOS

There are 4 types of RIO available. The IO points and maximum number of RIO combinations are:
Type Number of points Max Modules Static IP Default
DIO 8 input/outputs 6 192.168.92.100
Pulse 8 inputs 2 192.168.92.110
ADC 8 inputs 4 192.168.92.120
DAC 8 outputs 2 192.168.92.130
The remote capability of this IO can be used by the Master unit to enhance control or provide control for
existing features. I.E., The Grab Output signal can reside on a remote digital.
6.3 INITIAL CONFIGURATION

Unlike the InSpec master base units (InSpec Sampler or InSpec Blender), there is very little to configure
on the RIO device. The configuration and calibration of the actual RIO is done via the master unit’s web interface.
It is very helpful to conceptualise the InSpec RIO device as an add-on to the base unit.
6.4 RIO WEB INTERFACE

Each RIO device has a web page which can be accessed via the internet address of the device. Visually this
web page looks very similar to the web page for the Master Inspec unit. It is a cut down version of this web page
with a set of similar menus which can be accessed via clicking the left-hand side menu select buttons. This
provides configurable security user, a configurable status display screen for the RIO displaying up to 24 custom
register values, configurable internal Modbus table and the ability to set up and view Modbus master queries
(ethernet / serial), view, set and search internal registers, configure serial ports and default the RIO device.
6.5 ETHERNET
This is the most important configuration option for the InSpec RIO device. All the RIO field inputs coming
into the device are communicated back to the Master unit. This is only possible if the Ethernet is configured on
the same immediate network or another accessible network. The IO data is then communicated across the
network link between the remote device and the base unit using Modbus Master TCP/IP. The parameters for this
internal Modbus Master connection cannot be reconfigured by the user.
Once determined, the IP address of the RIO device needs to be entered into the master unit in one of
the designated remote URL registers. When any of these registers contain data, it forces the master unit to
attempt a connection. If successful, the IO data from the remote unit is then continually communicated to the
base unit.
