Building on Our Reputation for Solving Problems


The ROC family of Remote
Operations Controllers has
established an industry
benchmark for flexibility,
robustness, ease of use
and reliability.
The ROC809 builds upon
this reputation with new
features, benefits and
technology that make it the
preferred choice for your
most demanding remote
measurement and control
application.

An RTU, Flow Computer, and PLC in One


The ROC809 was designed
to solve many of the
problems that limit the
performance, reliability, and
flexibility of traditional RTUs,
Flow Computers, and PLCs.
With the ROC809, you have
in a single device, the:
– Ruggedness and low power
consumption of an RTU
– Audit trails and historical data
of a Flow Computer
– The scalability, speed and
control of a PLC.

Performance Problems Solved



Traditional RTUs lack the
processing speed and capacity to
handle control jobs requiring
extremely fast response, like those
performed by PLCs.
The ROC809 closes this
performance gap by using the
Motorola® PowerPC® (MPC862)
32-bit microprocessor as its
engine.
Not only is the MPC862 fast, but it
is designed for telecommunications
and networking giving it a real
edge over most PLCs.

The ROC809 uses a realtime, multi-tasking
operating system
designed specifically for
the kind of measurement
and control tasks
encountered in field
applications.
This operating system
has proven its robustness
in industrial control,
telecommunications and
avionics applications.

Performance Problems Solved

The high power consumption of
PLCs often limits their use to
factory applications. Low power
consumption for remote operation
was a key design goal of the
ROC809.

In addition to using low-power
components, extensive use was
made of the "sleep" modes
provided by the CPU.

Sleep modes shut down
operations when they are not
needed, such as certain software
tasks, and they control power to
devices such as LEDs.

I/O Problems Solved


Interfacing to end devices
can be the weakest link in
a measurement and control
system. Problems related
to grounding, wiring errors,
electrical noise, and
transients are
commonplace.
The ROC809 solves many
of these problems because
we’ve designed its I/O and
communications modules
with accuracy, ruggedness
and survivability in mind.

I/O Problems Solved


Plug-in I/O modules make
extensive use of optical (electrical)
isolation, transient suppression,
and current limiting. This
dramatically improves reliability
and virtually eliminates failures
related to power, grounding and
wiring errors.
All I/O modules are isolated from
the backplane to minimize crosscard failures. The benefits of this
extensive protection are less
downtime, fewer trips to the field
for repairs, and reduced spares
inventory to name a few.

I/O Problems Solved


To facilitate expansion or
repair, I/O modules can be
removed and replaced under
power. To simplify
configuration, they are selfidentifying to the firmware.
An outstanding feature of the
analog input modules is their
high accuracy. For example,
the 12-bit module uses a 16bit analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter for greater
accuracy than most
competitive units.

I/O Problems Solved

Up to nine I/O modules can be
plugged into the module slots in
any order and combination of
module types.

The low point count density of
these modules lets you better
match I/O to your application
requirements.

You buy more of what you need,
and less of what you don’t need.
Should a module fail, the impact
on your application is minimized.


Modern automation
systems place increasingly
greater demands on the
communications
capabilities of field
equipment.
We designed the ROC809
to blend into almost any
system environment by
virtue of its wide range of
communications and
networking options.


With the Ethernet capability of
the ROC809, you can
effectively extend your
company’s local area network
(LAN) to the field. You get
more data at a lower cost
than with conventional
communications methods.
When coupled with our
DS800 Development Suite,
Ethernet makes it possible to
network ROC809s, giving you
tremendous I/O and control
capabilities for large
applications.


In addition to an Ethernet
port, the ROC809 has two
built-in EIA-232 (RS-232)
ports, one typically used for
communications to a PCbased local operator
interface, and one for
communication to other
devices.
Three additional ports can
be added using plug-in
Communication Modules.


An outstanding feature of
the ROC809 is its
Spontaneous Report-byException (SRBX) Data
Transmission capability.
A host computer can poll
the ROC809 at a userspecified time interval, or
the unit can initiate a
transmission when certain
alarm conditions occur.
SRBX can greatly reduce
communication system
loading and related costs.

Application Problems Solved


The problem with many RTUs, PLCs
and flow computers is their inability to
meet a wide range of applications
common to field installations.
The ROC809 addresses this problem
with a comprehensive applications
package that supports a wide range
of metering and control needs.
The package builds upon the
outstanding features proven in tens
of thousands of ROC300 series
installations worldwide.


The power of the
ROC809 is
demonstrated by the
number of processes
that it can handle
simultaneously with a
small amount of I/O.
For example, 12 Meter
Runs and 16 Control
Loops can be
managed by the
ROC809 using only
two multi-variable
sensor ports and 16
analog outputs.

The ROC809s gas calculations
comply with AGA and API
standards and incorporate;
– AGA 3 for orifice metering
– AGA 7/ ISO 9951 for turbine
metering
– AGA 8 / ISO 12213-2 for
compressibility
– API Chapter 21 Section 1.

Setting up meter runs is fast
and easy with our fill-in-theblanks configuration method.
There’s no learning curve, and
minimal knowledge of AGA
calculations is needed.

A new feature introduced by
the ROC809 is the Meter
Station, which makes it easy
to configure and operate
multiple meter runs with
similar properties.

Meter Stations also reduce
communications overhead
and reduce data entry when
configuring multiple meter
runs.

The ROC809 can handle up
to 12 meter runs, and runs
can be grouped in up to 12
Meter Stations.

The ROC809 provides
outstanding PID loop control
capability that rivals that found in
dedicated process controllers.
The control firmware incorporates:
– Pre-configured templates for basic
PID loop control
– Up to 16 PID control loops each
with override support
– Support for both analog and
discrete control devices.

In addition, special loop control
strategies can be implemented
using the extensive programming
capabilities of the ROC809.

The ROC809 also provides
you with Function Sequence
Table (FST) control.

You construct control
strategies by choosing from
a set of logic, math,
comparison, time-related,
control-related, database
and general command sets.

Current ROC300 users can
run their FSTs on the
ROC809 with only minor
modifications, such as
redefining input points.

DS800 provides a standard
programming interface that
lets people with different
backgrounds and skills
create different elements of
a program. When
completed, all elements will
work together seamlessly.

