MacBAT 5

PLUM ELECTRONICS
gas volume and energy
corrector

gas volume and energy corrector
with built-in modem
for 4G LTE Cat.1

Electronic Volume Corrector is a complete measurement unit designed for installation in
Ex Zone 0.

MacBAT 5 can be used in wide applications extending typical volume conversion thanks to variety of measurement and diagnostic inputs available in standard hardware variant.

Additional dedicated interfaces, modules and sensors are extending MacBAT 5 to be a significant part of gas station
accuracy and monitoring device instead of only being standard electronic volume conversion device.

key
benefits

  • LF/HF/Encoder inputs available in standard variant without additional modules
  • real time gas composition acquisition from chromatograph
  • remote two-way 4G communication module compatible with various data acquisition platforms
  • internal modem presence does not affect Ex feature of the complete unit
  • NAMUR inputs for proximity sensors working on battery
    possibility to add any sensor communicating in Modbus protocol
  • quick gas meter load diagnostics by using dynamically generated bar graphs

functionalities of
the MacBAT 5 corrector

designed to work with turbine, rotary or ultrasonic
gas meters via direct connection: LF, HF, Encode

support of digital transmission with all the gas meters working
on NAMUR communication standard with a built-in
encoder in battery operation

MID-certified volume measurement of gas mixtures
containing up to 30% hydrogen H2

MID-certified gas meter characteristic correction function

advanced solutions to prevent measurement discrepancies
between the gas meter and the corrector,
detection of gas meter reverse flow

measurement of volume every second from
the HF input - also possible during battery backup operation

3 independent serial transmission ports
(2xRS485, Optical Interface 62056-21)

interface-free configuration using NFC standard
through Android phones

optional built-in modem for 4G LTE Cat.1 and 2G networks

up to 16 intrinsically safe configurable binary inputs;
8 built-in, including 2 NAMUR inputs for proximity sensors,
functional when battery powered;
8 inputs available when EM-2 / EM-2Ex module is used

binary and frequency outputs in intrinsically safe design

optional additional internal or external pressure transducers

built-in function for analysing the load profile
of the gas meter with presentation in the form of a bar graph
on display or statistics in data

support for biogas measurement

cooperation with BMS via Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP
or pulse outputs (controlled by Vb and Vm counters)

possibility of reading/controlling in Modbus MASTER mode up
to 16 external devices in Modbus RTU protocol via RS485
(e.g. digital pressure transmitters, EM series extensions modules)

pulse and current control of the odorizer possible
(using a frequency/ current converter or EM-1 extension module)

direct cooperation with the chromatograph without the PLC intermediary

the application of the MacBAT
volume and energy corrector

pressure
measurement
using MacBAT 5
operating with a turbine
gas meter

System recommended for high-pressure gas meter operation.

connecting MacBAT 5
with a rotary gas meter

Connection via 2 x LF ensures precise synchronization between the gas meter and the corrector, taking into account volume reverse flow on the gas meter.

direct data transmission to the system

Data reading through the built-in 4G LTE modem with battery power supply.

remote
data reading

Connection via the INT-S3 communication interface and the built-in 4G LTE modem.
