4 .1 Applications
The SUMMIT 8800 is a multi-medium hydrocarbon flow computer which can handle 5 streams
plus prover for liquid, gas, and steam applications simultaneously. It has been designed to ac-
commodate multi-stream utilising various different types of flowmeter technology, and can be
completely customised as per the user’s requirements. This includes the operational units to be
US Customary (USC) or Metric units, but also includes batching, sampling, valve switching etc..
Many other configurations features including data changing screen- and print layout but also
graphical illustrations can be configured and will be described in detail in volume 3 of this
manual set.
Application summary
The SUMMIT can be configured for the following metering types:
• Gas Master Meter
• Liquid Prover
• Gas Turbine/ Positive Displacement (PD)
• Gas Ultrasonic
• Gas Differential Pressure (DP)
• Gas Coriolis
• Liquid Turbine
• Liquid Ultrasonic
• Liquid Differential Pressure (DP)
• Liquid Coriolis
• Steam Ultrasonic
4 .2 Measurement devices and signals
The SUMMIT 8800 is capable of receiving various signals from different technologies, and com-
municating with various field instruments including smart meters, and multi variable transmit-
ters.
A simple summary of the types of commonly available signals from various meters, transmitters
and transducers that can be used in conjunction with the SUMMIT 8800:
• HART, 1 or 2 masters or burst mode, up to 3 transmitters, 4 variables
• PRT/RTD/PT-100, 3 or 4 wire.
• 0-20mA/ 4-20mA
• Serial communication, several protocols
• Digital inputs
• Pulse inputs
• Status inputs
The following signals can also be used by the SUMMIT 8800 to communicate and send signals to
various types of PLC, DCS, HMi, SCADA and other systems, including writing to field instrument
registers
• 4-20mA output
• Serial communication, several protocols
• Digital outputs
• Pulse outputs
