Part No.: 4418309_Rev09 Fusion4 MSC-L
Honeywell Installation & Operation Manual 3 - 13
The MSC-Ls solution approach facilitates the ratification of both the MID
compliance steps mentioned previously, ‘bringing on the market’ and
‘putting into use’, by pre-configuring all components in accordance with
the MID requirements, and checking conformity through pre-installation
testing before delivery, as a complete system. This method not only
reduces the risk of non-compliance, but also speeds up the MID
qualification process for the system owner.
For the owner, ‘putting into use’ qualification not only includes the
accuracy and security of the physical operation of the blend process,
but also the reconciliation and reproduction of the measurement data.
This is applicable, whether the information is to be stored locally on the
device, distributed and stored on peripheral devices, or reconciled as a
Bill of Lading print-out. For the system to be fully compliant, any of these
functions must also operate in the MID criteria.
As such, the MSC-L offers a number of options to ensure compliance.
Firstly it implements a large transaction storage memory of 10,000
transactions, which allows a device to operate for over three months
without losing a single transaction, in standard operating conditions.
Alternatively, the MSC-L can have its transaction data securely
downloaded through the Fusion4 LAD (Local Access Device). This
allows the MSC-L to have its memory cleared in preparation for the
storage of another 10,000 transactions. The transactions subsequently
transferred to the LAD can then be manually transferred to any
peripheral system for storage or printing through the SD card.
Finally the preferred method is to link the MSC-L through Comms to the
Fusion4 Portal software package. When connected, all the transaction
data are scanned and collected by Portal from each device. The
transaction record is stored and can be printed directly or distributed
through OPC to third party systems for separate reconciliation.
The Fusion4 Portal BoL Print facility is fully MID compliant, and
therefore can facilitate a stand-alone blending infrastructure that meets
all the MID requirements. Along with the MID print functionality and the
OPC capability, built-in modules for the Portal software suite also
include remote configuration, remote event monitoring and alarm
handling and advanced LAD interaction tools.
3.3 System Architecture
The MSC-L is installed as per the Honeywell Enraf’s proprietary
FlexConn architecture. The MSC-L is a member of Fusion4 portfolio of
Loading Automation and Control products.
The MSC-L system is built up of interchangeable hardware modules.
These modules consist of uniform Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), each
of them representing a different and a unique functionality. See section
3.6.1 - PCB Details, for more information.
