1 INTRODUCTION
For many years, SCADA system integrators have struggled to eliminate the totalization errors
that resulted from using pulse-output flow meters.
With pulse-technology, the most common problem is the inevitable discrepancies between the
meter readings displayed within the SCADA system and the readings displayed on the physical
meters themselves.
Today, SCADAmetrics has eliminated these errors with the introduction of the EtherMeter™ – the
telemetry appliance that can ensure absolute agreement between the SCADA system and its
connected meters… also known as revenue-grade accuracy.
The effectiveness of the EtherMeter is based upon an embrace of the latest AMR (Automatic
Meter Reading) technology. Driven by the powerful SCADAmeter™ protocol conversion engine,
it works by translating totalization and flow rate signals from modern, encoder-based flow meters
into industrial protocols that SCADA systems can understand, such as MODBUS, Allen Bradley
DF1, and EtherNet/IP.
And for flow-metering applications where encoder technology is not readily available (e.g.
chemical, natural gas, petroleum, steam, etc.), the EtherMeter can process most 2-wire pulse
signals, as well.
The purpose of this manual is to provide the system integrator with the know-how to set up,
install, and maintain the EtherMeter – the new vital component built for today’s modern SCADA
systems.
