This manual contains information on the installation, setup, and operation of the DanLoad 6000.
The DanLoad 6000 is a versatile microcomputer based batch delivery controller and liquid flow
computer. This type of instrument is commonly referred to as a Preset in the tanker vehicle loading
industry. The DanLoad 6000 is easy to setup on-site for utilization in virtually any application that
requires precise flow measurement and control of liquid batch deliveries. Batch delivery operations
are easily conducted in a logical manner. A batch delivery can be setup and started with several
intuitive commands. The instrument provides a graphic display of the progress of the batch delivery.
Notes
This manual covers the DanLoad 6000 software version 5.74 released in July, 2001. The
DanLoad 6000 software version number is displayed during the startup sequence after power is
applied to the instrument and in the diagnostics menu. This software version is compatible
with both the original CPU board and the new version 2 CPU (CPU v2) board.
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by operators, shift supervisors,
instrument technicians, process engineers, and terminal / plant managers. To the extent that is

Introduction ____________________________________________________________ 1 - 3
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
Overview
The DanLoad 6000 can be operated in an independent stand-alone mode with batch delivery
operations monitored and controlled from the operator control panel located on front of the DanLoad
6000. The DanLoad 6000 can also function as a slave unit in a terminal automation system network.
The information contained in this manual covers local operation of the DanLoad 6000 in the Stand-
alone Mode. The DanLoad 6000 accepts process input signals from and provides process control
signals to the common instruments and devices used in liquid batch delivery systems. These
instruments / devices include: liquid flow meters (turbine and positive displacement type), solenoid
controlled digital flow control valves, additive injectors, security devices for verifying electrical
ground connections and compartment overfills, electric motor driven pumps, and motor operated
block valves. The DanLoad 6000 can be easily setup (configured) to deliver single component
liquids or to blend up to four liquid components in precise ratios, with or without additive injection.
The various possible delivery and blending functions of the DanLoad 6000 are controlled by operator
selectable recipes (predefined delivery control procedures). Additive injection is controlled by
manual selection, recipe selection, or automatic selection from a terminal automation system. These
features allow one DanLoad 6000 and the associated liquid delivery equipment to deliver many
different combinations of liquid products, based on requirements of the client or receiver of the
delivered product.
One common application for a DanLoad 6000 is as an on-site controller for delivering refined
hydrocarbon liquid products from loading terminal storage tanks to mobile tanks, such as tanker
trucks, rail tank cars, and tank barges. Some other applications include liquid component blending
and / or additive injection in refinery or chemical plant processes. In addition, liquid components
can be blended with or without additive injection into flowing pipelines or into storage tanks. A
typical load rack installation with a DanLoad 6000 and associated equipment is shown in Figure 1 -
1.

Introduction ____________________________________________________________ 1 - 5
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The functional characteristics and capabilities of the DanLoad 6000 are presented in this section.
These functional characteristics and capabilities are closely related to the hardware configuration of
the instrument. Section 1.2 - Hardware Configuration, contains general information on the
hardware configuration of the DanLoad 6000. The DanLoad 6000 is delivered from the factory with
several basic electronic modules and other optional modules to accommodate process input / output
signals. The required process input / output signal boards are determined by the loading system
configuration and should be specified when the DanLoad 6000 is purchased. The mix of process
input / output signal boards and communications modules is field reconfigurable. The hardware
configuration determines the input / output process signal handling capacity and the data logging /
data communications capability of the instrument. The flow measurement and logical functions
listed below are available in all hardware configurations of the DanLoad 6000. However, each
unique installation requires a specific complement of process input / output signal boards, based on
the actual devices that are monitored and controlled in the system.
The DanLoad 6000 can monitor and control operation of up to four flow meters, up to four flow
control valves, delivery of up to four products, and up to six additive injectors and additive meters
simultaneously. The minimum configuration consists of one flow meter measuring one component
(liquid product). Two high resolution pulse per unit volume outputs are provided for use by external
equipment, such as meter prover counters. Product deliveries and component blending deliveries
are selected by up to thirty configurable recipes (batch delivery / blending control procedures) and
automatic or manual selection of additive injection. Any additive(s) can be associated with any
recipe(s). The actual implementation of the various possible process operations are covered in detail
in other sections of this manual.
# Batch Delivery
The DanLoad 6000 can automatically measure and control quantity-based preset batch delivery of
one product or a blend of two to four liquid components. During blending operations, one to four
flow meter streams are controlled independently from the other flow meter streams. Any
combination of pulse output type flow meters of different sizes and flow handling capacities can be
monitored and controlled by one DanLoad 6000. Each flow meter stream can have unique
characteristics for the liquid component. For accounting and tracking purposes a batch delivery or
group of consecutive batch deliveries can be combined to form one transaction.
In addition, the DanLoad 6000 can control batch loading of up to four independent loading arms,
if only one loading arm is in use at any one time.
# Blending
The DanLoad 6000 can automatically measure and control gross or standard quantity based blending
of several liquid components. Component blending can be performed by one of the following
selectable methods.
# In-line, proportional
# In-line, non-proportional
Sequential blending is the mixing of two, three, or four components or transfers, one component
at a time to the receiving tank by using block valves, either automatically or manually controlled.
Components are delivered in a time sequence through one flow meter / flow control valve stream.
In-line blending is the mixing of two, three, or four components simultaneously measured by
individual flow meters / flow control valves, into one composite delivery stream. The blend ratio
is precisely maintained during in-line proportional blending. The blend ratio is roughly maintained
during in-line non-proportional blending. However, the blend ratio of a completed batch load is
precise after the batch has been completely loaded.
"Side" stream blending is similar to in-line blending except one product component is delivered
upstream to another product component. "Side" stream blending is typically used to inject ethanol
into gasoline. Ethanol is injected into the gasoline stream and the blend is measured by the custody
transfer meter.
The DanLoad 6000, Version 6.0 provides the ability of ethanol blending with gasoline. To
accomplish this, an ethanol meter can be added and ethanol will be injected upstream into the
gasoline product stream. When ethanol is injected into the gasoline stream the gasoline meter now
will measure the blended product and cannot account for just the gasoline component. Also when
ethanol is blended with gasoline, the gross volume of the blend changes due to the expansion of the
mix. To accurately measure the gasoline-ethanol blend it is important to measure the blended
product. This configuration provides the ability of ethanol blending with gasoline. This type of
mixing is termed as "Side" Stream Blending.
Introduction ____________________________________________________________ 1 - 7
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# Additive Injection
The DanLoad 6000's additive control functionality is designed with the following objectives:
# Allows different injection methods (additive injector types) for each logical additive
so that old and new additive injection equipment can be mixed on a single loading
arm, e.g. mix other units and additive panels on the same loading arm.
# Provides multiple injection rates (concentrations) per additive via the "Multi Rate"
additive selection method.
# Provides recipe gross and standard running totalizers and additive running totalizers
to facilitate product and additive inventory management.
Additive volume is measured via a K-factor per additive which is used for both authorized and
unauthorized additive flow. The “Multi Rate” additive selection method allows multiple additive
ratios (concentrations of additive) to be configured per additive by configuring an additive ratio per
recipe. The DanLoad 6000 runs a cutoff (end of day processing) every 24 hours based on the
configured cutoff hour. The totalizer and throughput data logs can be reprinted using the “Reprint
cutoff” option in the program mode menu. Recipe and additive running totalizers allow product and
additive throughput for a particular customer to be monitored. The configuration summary data log
can be printed from the diagnostics menu in the manual operating mode.
# Meter Proving
The DanLoad 6000 can be used to perform manual flow meter proofs. Tank provers, master meters,
or mechanical displacement meter proves can be used for flow meter proving.
Various data accumulated during each batch delivery and groups of batch deliveries (transaction)
can be selected for storage in non-volatile memory. This data can be acquired by a terminal
automation system and / or printed on user defined pre-printed transaction tickets. Ticket formats
can be designed to meet the user's requirements.
LPG (liquid petroleum gas) can be measured (temperature and pressure corrected) and the flow
control valve can be automatically controlled to maintain the minimum back pressure. Other
features include Mercaptan vessel fill and display of external faults. Appendix C provides a LPG
Loading Configuration Checklist.
# Calibration Monitoring
Preliminary support of calibration monitoring is provided in the form of a “Calibration failure” alarm
per meter and a “CALMON status” screen in the program mode. Section 3.9.3 Additive Meter
Calibration and CALMON provides a brief summary of the CALMON program codes.
The DanLoad 6000 contains electronic modules in the form of plug-in printed circuit boards. The
basic hardware configuration of the instrument is required for normal operation. In many cases, the
instrument in the basic hardware configuration has the capacity to monitor and control the batch
delivery installation. In other cases, additional process input / output signal expansion printed
circuit boards and / or data communications modules may be required. Flow calculations and logical
control capabilities of the DanLoad 6000 in the basic hardware configuration and the fully expanded
configuration are identical. Hardware expansion of the instrument only increases the process signal
handling capacity and / or provides data signal handling capability. Information on hardware
configuration is contained in Section 2 - Installation. The basic configuration of a DanLoad 6000
is described below.
# Integral text / graphics display and operator keypad mounted in a rugged weatherproof case,
designed for outside installation in NEC Class 1, Group D, Division 1 hazardous
atmosphere environments.
# One DC Voltage power supply with factory selectable power input of 115 Vac or 230 Vac,
47 to 63 Hertz.
# One main processor (CPU version 1) board with two micro-controllers, shared memory,
non-volatile memory, and other related logic and process signal circuitry. Two swing arm
status inputs. And optionally (requires addition of a module to the version 1 main processor
board):
# One RS-485 port and one RS-232 port OR two RS-485 ports.
# One flow meter pulse input board, able to process two flow meter pulse inputs (two flow
meters or IP-252 pulse integrity from one flow meter) and provide two discrete DC Voltage
control outputs.
# One discrete AC input / output board, able to process two status inputs and eight control
outputs (90 to 230 Vac).

The terminology used throughout this manual is defined in the table below. Section 6 - Program
Code Definitions contains additional information which helps clarify these terms. Some of the
definitions are based on information contained in American Petroleum Institute (API) standards and
industry accepted use. Other national standards use similar terminology.
Term Definition
additive A liquid that is injected into a primary liquid component in relatively small
quantities, usually less than four percent of the delivered volume total.
Additives are injected into the primary liquid component by an injector
mechanism which places a known, fixed volume of the additive into the
primary liquid component stream for each injector pulse received from the
DanLoad 6000.
arm (also: swing arm, loading arm) A movable pipe / hose assembly used at a
tanker truck loading island. The arm can be designed for either top loading
or bottom loading to the tanker compartments. A swing arm can be
positioned to load at either side of the loading island or the parked state.
blend stream Blend stream is the blended product stream and is a mix of both gasoline and
ethanol.
blending The process of mixing two or more liquid components to form a composite
delivered stream. The DanLoad 6000 can control blending based on a
predetermined recipe by the sequential (automatic or manual) or the in-line
(proportional or non-proportional) methods. The quantity of each component
in a blend is typically greater than two to four percent of the blended product.
Injection of very small quantities of liquids, less than four percent of the
blended product, is usually controlled by the additive injection process.
component Any liquid metered and controlled by the DanLoad 6000. Liquid
hydrocarbons refined from crude oil and LPG’s (such as propane) are usually
referred to as products. Components are base products or tank products
stored at a distribution terminal. The component is measured before being
blended with other components. Additives may be injected before (upstream
of) or after (downstream of) the component meter.

Term Definition
gross quantity The indicated quantity times the meter factor derived from a meter proving
of the flow meter at a specific flow rate.
Calculation: gross quantity = indicated quantity times meter factor
indicated quantity The change in the flow meter reading that occurs during a product flow
measurement operation. (Not displayed by the DanLoad 6000)
Calculation: indicated quantity = end reading minus start reading
IP-252 Institute of Petroleum standard 252. A British standard for pulse fidelity and
security for pulse output type flow meters. Program codes 233 and 234
define the operation of this function. (Note: Equivalent standard is API

Section 5 - Fidelity and Security of Flow Measurement Pulsed-Data
Transmission Systems.)
loading island (also loading rack) An installation of one or more loading arms or risers
used to deliver liquid components to a tanker vehicle located on one or both
sides of the island, depending on the design of the island.
loading riser The related instruments and devices, located in a meter stream, that provide
the liquid component loading capability to a mobile tanker vehicle. (Note:
The flow meter piping can also be installed horizontally, if desired.)

Term Definition
load spot (also bay, lane) One side of a loading island, a position where a tanker
vehicle parks for a loading operation. One load spot can have one or more
loading arms.
meter factor A number obtained by dividing the actual volume of liquid passed through
a flow meter during a meter proving operation by the volume registered by
the flow meter. The meter factor is used in flow calculations to correct the
indicated volume (end flow meter registration minus start flow meter
registration) to the observed gross volume (actual flow meter throughput at
operating conditions)
meter proving A procedure used to determine the meter factor for a flow meter. The K-
factor (exact number of pulses per a volume unit that are generated by a flow
meter) is determined at the factory. The K-factor is used to derive a
mathematical factor, known as meter factor, that is used to adjust results of
the internal flow calculations performed by the DanLoad 6000. (Note: The
flow meter is not re-calibrated; determination of the meter factor allows the
operator to manually re-calibrate the DanLoad 6000 so that the non-
adjustable calibration characteristic [pulses per volume unit (K-factor)]
of the flow meter is incorporated into the flow calculations.)
permissive A discrete signal from a device that is input to a discrete input in the
DanLoad 6000. The signal is used by the DanLoad 6000 to allow a product
delivery to be initiated or allow a product delivery to continue. Permissive
contacts are CLOSED in the normal or safe state and OPEN in the abnormal
or unsafe state.
preset A generic term that describes the functional instrument group of the DanLoad
6000. The term originated from mechanical and electrical preset counters.
The DanLoad 6000 provides much more versatility and capability compared
to a simple mechanical or electrical preset counter.

Term Definition
program code One of approximately 1000 parameters that define the operation of the
DanLoad 6000. All program codes are defined in Section 6.
side stream Side stream is the controlled stream and is a term referred to the ethanol
product. The ethanol product is metered and can be controlled and measured.
side stream meter A meter measuring the side component (ethanol) is called a side stream
meter.
standard quantity
The gross quantity corrected to standard temperature and/or pressure. This
is a quantity measurement.
Calculation: standard quantity = gross quantity times CTLM (correction
factor for the effect of temperature on the liquid in the meter)
times CPLM (correction factor for the effect of pressure on the
liquid in the meter)
transaction Group of one or more consecutive batch deliveries for accounting purposes.
The batches that comprise a transaction always use one recipe, one additive
selection, and one loading side. An example of a transaction is the delivery
of multiple batches to different compartments in a single tanker vehicle.

Installation planning is very important due to the physical and functional reconfigurable capabilities
of the instrument. Several worksheets are provided in Appendix A to aid in installation planning and
system design. These worksheets are used in conjunction with the Setup Procedure described in
Section 3. Installation planning consists of the following three major tasks.
# Assure that the DanLoad 6000 contains the required number and type of process input /
output signal boards for monitoring and controlling the other devices in the product delivery
system.
# Determine the functions to be performed by the DanLoad 6000. These functions are
selectively enabled during the setup procedure (logical configuration) of the instrument.
# Design the mechanical / electrical installation considering the safety and ease of use by the
operator. Also consider the safety and ease of access to instruments and devices for
maintenance technicians.
The DanLoad 6000 is constructed in a modular electronic and functional form. An electronic card
cage is located inside the cast enclosure. The layout of the card cage is shown in Figure 2-5. The
card cage contains a passive backplane with sockets for installation of a main processor board, a
DC power supply board, and one to seven process input / output signal boards. The function of each
board is described in Section 2.2.2.

The main processor board has two CPU's (central processing units). One CPU processes the
control panel and communications functions and the other CPU performs flow measurement
and process input / output signal handling. Dual port RAM (random access memory) is
used by both CPU's to transfer data. Data is maintained in a non-volatile state for ten years
by an on-board battery. The CPU board also contains one 3-terminal connector which is
dedicated to one or two dry contact closure inputs used for sensing the position of a swing-
arm switch. Communications is via a plug-in DUART board that mounts on top of CPU
version 1. See “DUART”.
Jumper Function
The DanLoad 6000 can be configured without an analog inputs board or with a 2-channel
analog inputs or an 8-channel analog inputs board. Jumpers are provided for configuration
of analog ground and digital ground. These jumpers should be set as follows.

Recommended card cage locations are slots J5 and / or J6, component side faces left
(toward the power supply). The recommended location for a single meter pulse board is slot
J5.
The two-channel meter pulse board provides 8 to 15 Vdc or 24 Vdc power for two meter
pulse preamplifiers and accepts meter pulse inputs from two meter preamplifiers or dual
inputs from one meter. The 2-Ch Meter Pulse Board can be used with 1 single pulse meter,
1 dual pulse meter or 2 single pulse meters. The meter preamps or pulsers can be powered
with any one of three options. Options 1 and 2 are implemented by installing a plug-on
piggyback power supply module. These modules are adjustable 8-15 VDC power supplies
with either 15 ma (Daniel P/N 3-6000-002) or 100 mA (Daniel P/N 3-6000-022) outputs.
Option 3 uses 24 VDC supplied from the power-supply board. The DC power source for
each meter preamplifier is jumper selectable. Two optically isolated raw meter pulse outputs
(prover outputs) are provided. These outputs are for meter proving and are duplicates of the
raw meter pulse stream. Two DC Voltage control outputs are provided. These control
outputs are assignable to various functions. One common use for these outputs is to drive
external pulse per unit quantity totalizers.
Should power failure shut the system down, power to the pulsers and preamps will
be sustained long enough to accumulate pulses until the flow control valve closes.
This is available with the 15 mA P/S option only (P/N 3-6000-002).
Dual pulse security is available per the IP252 Level-B standard. This is
accomplished by monitoring two meter pulse inputs that are electrically 90 degrees
out of phase. Reference program codes 233 and 234 in Section 6.13 of this manual.
Note
The 2-Ch Meter Pulse Board has been replaced by the 4-Ch Meter Pulse Board and is
no longer manufactured. The 4-Ch Meter Pulse Board is a direct replacement for the
2-Ch board. Depending on your configuration, wiring changes may be necessary.
Please review the 2-Ch and 4-Ch wiring diagrams carefully.

The 4-Channel meter pulse board provides 5, 15 or 24 volts, which may be jumper selected
(JP17, 18, 19,20) for flow meter pulse preamplifiers. The meter pulse board is able to supply
power at 24 volts at 200 mA when used with Daniel’s enhanced line-powered switcher
power supply. When using Daniel’s standard power supply, the load capacity is lower. The
4-Ch meter pulse board accepts inputs from up to two physical meters. Each physical meter
can have pulse security independently of any others. Pulse security identification is IP 252
level “B” using dual pulse stream, electrically out of phase. Two DC voltage control outputs
are provided. These are assignable to various functions. One common use for these outputs
is to drive an electrical pulse-per-unit quantity totalizer.

Recommended locations are slots J1 and / or J2, component side faces left (toward the
power supply). The recommended location for a single AC I/O board is slot J1.
[Note: There are two different versions of the AC I/O board (Ver. 1 & Ver. 2). Terminal
connections are the same on each version of the board. However, the on-board jumper
configuration is different for each version of the board. Note drawing CE-12695 in
Appendix E and information in Figures 2-14 and 2-15.]
The AC I/O board accepts two discrete (ON/OFF) status inputs and provides eight discrete
(ON/OFF) control outputs. Note Figures 2-14 and 2-15 for jumper settings to set the
discrete input voltage level selection options (24 Vdc, 24 Vac, 90-240 Vac or Vdc). Internal
series resistors in each input circuit should be jumpered (bypassed) if 24 Vac or 24 Vdc
signals are used. Control output circuits are 24 to 230 Vac only. Each output circuit is rated
to switch an inductive load of 2 Amps ac maximum, such as a relay or solenoid coil.
All functions are the same as the Version 1 AC I/O Board except that each voltage
range has a jumper selection (24 VAC, 24 VDC, 120 VAC and 240 VAC), and the
inputs will function with either contact closures or solid-state relays.
Note: Version 2 board will not work with 120/240 VDC.
Note
Ganging Triac Outputs: Due to the leakage current inherent to the triac, ganging of AC
triac outputs to one common point is not recommended. If output ganging is required,
the use of interposing relays is recommended in order to provide proper isolation.

In planning the physical installation of the DanLoad 6000, consider ease of use of the instrument
with the operator in a safe and comfortable position. Consideration must also be given to
performance of maintenance tasks without disrupting ongoing product delivery operations in close
proximity. It may be helpful to draw rough diagrams of the normal actions of the operator during
the different possible batch delivery related tasks. Be especially mindful of the location of the
operator in relation to the location of one or two tanker vehicles and their related loading arm /
bottom loading hose connections. Some location / position restrictions may be present when a
DanLoad 6000 is used as a retrofit or upgrade in an existing installation. However, mechanical
installation planning should still be performed. It may be possible to correct an inconvenient
controller mounting location that exists in a current loading rack installation when a DanLoad 6000
is retrofit at the installation.
Consider the points listed below during installation planning for a DanLoad 6000.
# Maintenance access:
The operator panel is hinged at the bottom side and opens down for ease of maintenance
access. All conduit routing should be to the rear, sides, or down. No object should be
located under the DanLoad 6000 and in front of the conduit connections for a distance of
approximately 15-inches (380 mm) below the instrument.
Installation ______________________________________________________________ 2 - 35
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# Mounting height:
# Mounting position:
North / south / east / west orientation of the operator control panel is somewhat
predetermined by the loading facility design. Consider the location of the user / operator in
relation to one or two tanker vehicles present and connected at the loading island.
# Mounting fixtures:
Mounting fixtures must be fabricated for the DanLoad 6000. Four M10-1.5 metric thread
bolts for mounting are provided with each DanLoad 6000. The instrument can be bottom
mounted or rear mounted. Bottom mounting is preferable due to the weight of the device.
The mounting attachment should be a 1/8-inch (3 mm) (minimum) thick mild steel member
with four 7/16-inch (11.5 mm) diameter holes that match the bolting pattern being used.
The steel member may be sheet, angle, channel, or other shape.
The forward pair of mounting screw holes in bottom mount fixtures must be centered no
more than 3/4-inch (19 mm) from the edge. The case has a 2-degree taper to the rear. The
standard case may need a shim as much as 0.170-inch (4.3 mm) thick at the rear pair of
screws to level the instrument. Leveling the case will allow for best conduit alignment.
Fixtures for rear mounting may need additional bracing to ensure rigidity.
The DanLoad 6000 is designed for installation in an outdoor environment. The instrument
is weather proof and explosion proof per applicable standards. Some of the following
installation suggestions concerning environmental protection describe accepted engineering
practices and should not be considered to be limitations on the utility of the instrument.
# If the loading rack / island area is covered, the DanLoad 6000 should be located so
that the user / operator is protected or partially protected from direct rainfall.
2 - 36 ______________________________________________________________ Installation
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
# Tropical climates: It is advisable to place sunshades above the DanLoad 6000 and
other electronic instruments, such as process transmitters. Sunshades should be
located to prevent direct sunlight on the instruments during the hottest part of the day
(10:00 to 15:00). Sunshades can be constructed of metal, fiberglass, or other
suitable materials. They should be rear sloping to direct rain to the rear of the
instrument, away from the user / operator. Avoid sharp edges or corners on
sunshades to prevent injuries.

wiring from all other signals).
# A threaded 2-inch female NPT (or M50 x 1.5 mm) connection for DC cabling and low
voltage level signals in the center.
Note
All cable entries must be sealed within 18-inches (450 mm) of the enclosure with suitable
sealing / potting compound.
# Record cable / wire routing and interconnection information so that as-built documentation
for the system can be generated later.
# Provide remote circuit breakers and optional disconnect switches for all AC and DC power

# Use only stranded copper wire, equal to or larger gauges as indicated on the basic wiring
diagrams located at the rear of this section, do not cut or weaken wire strands during
insulation removal.
# All wire ends should be clearly marked with slip-on wire tags or similar devices, the wire
tags should preferably be color coded to indicate the voltage level and marked with the
specific signal name.
# Power and signal wires should be cut with an additional length of approximately 2-inches
for service loops to allow terminal board / connector removal.
# All wiring should be positioned within the unit to avoid unnecessary crimping and
overcrowding, and to insure proper clearance for the instrument door and hinges.
# After completion, thoroughly check the wiring to insure that input AC power and all field
input / output signals are correctly connected at the DanLoad 6000 terminations and at the
terminations located on the corresponding field device.
All wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code, local state or other jurisdiction, and
company standards and practices. Recommendations for 115 / 230 Vac power wiring:
# Use multi-strand copper conductor wire and cable for connecting the DanLoad 6000 to the
power source and the field devices.
# All wire and cable must be in new condition, and must adhere to the manufacturer's quality
standards with the size, type of insulation, voltage rating.
# Recommended wire types and sizes for AC power input to the DanLoad 6000:
# Power feed should be 115 or 230 Vac, 47 to 63 Hertz, single phase, three wire. A
15 Amp circuit breaker and optionally a power disconnect switch must be located in
a safe area.
# Wire size AWG 14 for power feed for distances up to 250 feet.
# Wire size AWG 12 for power feed for distances of 250 to 500 feet.
# Wire size AWG 10 for power feed for distances of 500 to 1000 feet.
# Contact Daniel Industries, Inc., Customer Service - Electronics Division, for power
feed distances greater than 1000 feet.

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# Shielded wires and cables for meter pulse signals must have shield-drain wires. The shield-
drain wires must not be more than two AWG sizes smaller than the conductors for the cable.
The shield-drain wire must be connected to ground at only one end of the run.
# RS-485 serial data signals should be connected via two twisted pairs with overall shield,
AWG 28 to AWG 22. Ideally, the capacitance should not be greater than 16 pF per foot
(Belden 9842 for example). The use of a signal common (ground) conductor connected to
each device is a recommended option. Capacitance greater than 16 pF per foot may be used
at reduced baud rates and/or with shorter data communication cable runs. See typical
communications connection drawings in Appendix E.
# RS-232 single ended serial data signals should be AWG 28 to AWG 18 for cable lengths to
15 meters (50 feet). Consult factory for cable lengths greater than 15 meters.
# Insulated wire and cable must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation. Maximum wire tension, maximum insulation pressure and minimum
bending radius must not be exceeded.
# Use suitable lubrication during wire pulls in conduit to prevent wire stress.
# All cables and individual wires must have cable or wire markers at each termination. Markers
must contain the specific wire or cable codes designated for that particular circuit. The wire
and cable markers must be legible and permanent.
# Check all wiring connected to the DanLoad 6000 for continuity, proper size, and proper
classification. Verify the source or destination of each circuit before connection to the
DanLoad 6000 and related devices.

In these instances, the individual conductors must be interconnected with suitable terminal
blocks.
# A clamp type ground lug (color green) is located on the inside bottom front of the case.
Chassis ground conductors (color code green) inside the DanLoad 6000 enclosure should
be stranded, insulated, copper wire. These device chassis ground conductors should all be
connected to the clamp type ground lug.
# A clamp type ground lug is located on the outside of the case at the rear of the lower right

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The primary display/keypad is connected to P2 on the CPU board. The secondary display/keypad
is connected to P3 on the CPU board.
The jumper (W1) on the secondary keypad board is installed to recognize the key codes from the
secondary keypad. The jumper (W1) on the primary keypad board should not be installed.
The weights and measures key (top left of the keyboard) will only function on the primary keypad.
The DanLoad 6000 auto-configures any connected display/keypad modules at power-up/reset of the
CPU board. The yellow (top) and red (bottom) LED's (located to the right of the display) should
"blink" on/off (once) just before text appears on the display. The displays/keypad modules should
not be powered on/off independently of the CPU board; they should be powered-up prior to or at the
same time as the CPU board.
The primary and secondary keypad/display modules have independently controlled automatic
backlighting and contrast adjustment. The primary LCD type (program code 355) and secondary
LCD type (program code 358) should be configured appropriately for each.
The primary and secondary displays present the same information simultaneously. However, only
one keypad (primary or secondary) is active at a time. The active keypad is controlled by the swing-
arm switches (SW2 and SW1) on the CPU board and the configured side detect method (program
code 312). A version of the remote display interface also incorporates a remote Start/Stop feature
(assm. 3-6000-149). A second version of the board has only the Start/Stop feature (assm. 3-6000-
147). The field wiring for both boards is shown in Appendix E.

Note
Appendix A contains several tables with data on the physical and functional configuration of
the DanLoad 6000. These tables can be photocopied and unique configuration data can be
manually entered to provide a record of specific DanLoad 6000 installations.
This section contains information on the initial setup and configuration of the DanLoad 6000 Preset.
Any combination of up to four flow meters, up to four components, and up to six additives can be
defined and controlled. A minimum of one flow meter and one component must be defined. The
user performs the initial setup of the DanLoad 6000 via the operator control panel by following an
automatic sequence of displayed-prompts and key-press-responses.
The initial setup routine is a general procedure that combines the basic configuration of the
instrument with a tutorial function that familiarizes the user with the methods of changing values of
program codes. The initial setup procedure does not cover all the different types of program codes.
For instance, the basic setup does not cover product blending, additive injection, or transaction
storage definitions.
Section 3.6 contains details on the setup and program codes associated with Product Blending.
Section 3.7 contains details on the setup and program codes associated with Temperature and
Pressure Compensation.
Section 3.8 contains information about Mass Loading Using a Volumetric Flow Meter.
Section 3.9 contains details on the setup and program codes associated with Additive Injection.
Section 3.10 contains details on Transaction Storage Definition which is applicable if user defined
transaction tickets are printed or the DanLoad 6000 communicates with a terminal automation
system.
The DanLoad 6000 only requires AC power to execute the setup procedure. Therefore, it is possible
to preconfigure the instrument in a shop or office before on-site installation. The DanLoad 6000
retains the setup configuration in non-volatile memory when power is disconnected from the unit.
The DanLoad 6000 should have the correct type and number of process signal input / output boards
installed before initial setup procedure is begun.
# Before or during installation of a new DanLoad 6000 that has not been setup previously.
# If a new main processor board, that has not been setup, is installed (Note: Spare main
processor boards can be setup for your application in advance. The setup parameters are
retained in non-volatile battery-backed RAM (random access memory).
Note: A configured battery backed RAM module can be moved from one main processor
board to another main processor board without loss of configuration or totalizer data.)
Note: When changing the CPU board, make sure the replacement board has the same
firmware version as the original CPU board. Follow the instructions that come with spare
or replacement boards and be sure to handle the CPU Board carefully so that the components
do not touch the back of the board.
# If the integrated RAM / battery module on the main processor board is replaced.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 1
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
After the initial setup procedure has been completed, the DanLoad 6000 can be easily reconfigured
to add or change operational features such as product blending, additive injection, new delivery
control recipes, data logging, and communication with a terminal automation system.
# Accepts various types and combinations of process input signals, such as flow from pulse
output type flow meters, temperatures (RTD), pressures and / or density (4 to 20 mA dc
analog), and discrete contact closures indicating various status and permissive conditions.
# Generates discrete relay / solenoid control output signals based on the results of the
mathematical and logical calculations performed.
The DanLoad 6000 can be set up to perform many different tasks based on the requirements of
various load rack applications. Setup is accomplished by physical configuration (installing circuit
boards) and then executing the setup routine. The setup routine or logical configuration is
accomplished by user interaction with the operator control panel which consists of a multi-line /
graphical LCD display panel and a numeric / function keypad.
Information on installation planning, design, and physical configuration of the DanLoad 6000 is
covered in Section 2 - Installation. Therefore, it is assumed at this time that the instrument
contains the process input / output signal boards which provide the physical signal handling capacity
for the intended load rack application. The physical configuration, locations and types of process
input / output boards, can be sensed by the DanLoad 6000 and displayed for verification at the start
of the setup routine.
Program Codes
Program codes are all configurable parameters of the DanLoad 6000. Each Program Code consists
of the following four parts. A three-digit identification number, a name, a selection or value (note:
some values are selected from a predefined pick-list, other values are free form entry), and one to
four program code attributes. The selection or value of a program code affects the general or
specific operation of the DanLoad 6000. Each three-digit identification number / name combination
identifies the specific selection or value. Identical names are repeated when the associated function
is required at several places in a series of similar functions. Therefore, the name is the general
identifier of the program code and the three-digit identification number is the specific identifier of
the program code.
Item Description
Low flow restart volume The name of the program code can be unique or can be
repeated for similar program codes in a series of program
codes. In this example: program code 085 / 091 / 097 / 103
Low flow restart volume where each three-digit identification
number corresponds to one component: 1, 2, 3, or 4.
<attribute> (not shown) Program codes may have one or more of the following four
attributes set active: Read only, Weights and measures,
Data logging, Value changed. See Section 6.1 for additional
information on program code attributes.
Program codes are divided into twenty-five functional groups. Each functional group is divided into
one or more display pages which can be shown on the display panel. Program codes are accessible
for monitoring or changing when the DanLoad 6000 is operating in the Program Mode. A diagram
of the Program Mode menu tree is shown in Figure 3 - 1. All program codes are accessible via the
Setup selection of the Program Mode Menu. Functional groups of program codes are listed in
Figure 3 - 2. The value part of a program code can be changed by keypad entries.

Operating Modes
The method of user interaction with the DanLoad 6000 is defined by the functional state of the
instrument. Communications and interaction with a terminal automation system is defined by the
state of the Operating Mode.
# Loading Mode Normal operation with the instrument controlling batch product
deliveries to a tanker vehicle.
# Program Mode Permits initial setup and modification of the operation of the
instrument. Access to this mode is passcode restricted and can only
be entered while the DanLoad 6000 is not controlling a batch delivery
operation and a delivery transaction is not open.
Operating mode (set by state of program code 025 Operating mode and by the state of program
code 343 auto/manual changeover INPUT):
Pulse per unit outputs 128 to 134 quantity pulses to external equipment

Transaction data storage 834 to 902 allocate memory for transaction data storage
Analog inputs 983 to 991 v2 CPU board calibration for 4-20 mA RTD
# The user issues a command via a single key press / release action or by simultaneously
pressing / releasing two keys. While operating in the Loading Mode, all operator entries are
single-key press actions. While operating in the Program Mode, some user entries require
simultaneous two-key actuations.
# The DanLoad 6000 responds by either executing the command immediately or by prompting
the user, via the display panel, for additional data entry.
# If the command is executed immediately, the displayed information will change in some
manner to indicate response to the command.
# If the command cannot be completed without additional information from the user, one of
various types of data input prompt displays will be shown. Now the user has the option to
enter the data in response to the displayed prompt or to return the DanLoad 6000 to the
previous state without modifying any internal or external state or configuration.
While operating in the Program Mode, data from the DanLoad 6000 is presented to the user on an
8-line by 40-column LCD display panel. Miscellaneous messages and data are displayed in the

Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 15
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The initial setup procedure guides the user through a sequence of displayed-prompts and key- press-
responses. The user accomplishes the following three tasks while executing the initial setup
procedure.
# Accept or modify several default program code values / selections that inform the DanLoad
6000 about the physical characteristics of the batch loading system. Section 3.5 contains
information on process input / output channel assignment.
# Accept or modify several default program code values / selections that inform the DanLoad
6000 about the type of flow calculations and logical operations to be performed.
# Guide the user through interactive verification and / or program code value changes. This
tutorial function familiarizes the user with the display format and the operator interface,
using the keypad.
Read all of this section and review Section 6 - Program Code Definitions prior to performing the
initial setup procedure. In most cases, desired responses to the prompts encountered during the
initial setup procedure can be determined during execution of the setup procedure. However, if the
correct response cannot be determined during the setup procedure, it is permissible to accept any
or all of the default values / selections for the program codes. Any default value or selection that is
accepted or modified can be changed easily at any time in the future.
The initial setup procedure automatically enters default values / selections for some program codes
that are not covered by the procedure. In some cases, these default values / selections require
modification for the intended application. Review the additional information contained in Sections
3.6 to 3.12 after the initial setup procedure is completed. This additional information should be
reviewed to assure that the DanLoad 6000 is properly configured for your installation.
Several key press responses are required during execution of the initial setup procedure. The
responses are a press / release of ENTER or 9 to continue, numeric data entries with the 0 thru 9
numeric keys, option selection scrolling with the SELECT key, or alpha-numeric data entry. The
value or option displayed is accepted and entered by pressing the ENTER key or either the 9 or 8
arrow key. Methods for data entry are described below.
3 - 16 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
Place the box cursor over the selected program code with the 9 or 8 arrow keys. Enter the
desired number with the numeric keys 0 through 9. Numeric entries are toggled between
negative and positive values by entering the numeric value in the field and then pressing and
holding the Alt key while pressing the 1 digit key. If an entry error is made, press the
CLEAR key to clear the field and start again, or toggle the +/- sign to the opposite state.
Selection options are contained in short lists permanently stored in the DanLoad 6000. Place
the box cursor over the selected program code with the 9 or 8 arrow keys. If necessary, use
the SELECT key or the BACKSPACE KEY (ALT+SELECT) to scroll the list forward
or backward until the desired option is displayed.
If alpha-numeric data entry is permitted in a field, the message line will display the
following prompt: 0=Space, 1=A, 2=a, 3=0, 4=#, 5="
This prompt indicates to the user that an alpha-numeric string of characters can be entered.
The numbers 1 through 5 point to a specific location in a continuous string of characters. For
example, the number 1 points to the letter A, a string of upper case letters continue to Z,
the next character is a, a string of lower case letters continue to z, the next character is 0,
a string of numbers continues to 9. In other words, each group of characters is in one
continuous string of all possible characters. The apparent groups of characters do not wrap
around to the start of that group.

# ALT+SELECT to reconfigure
Configuration during the initial setup procedure is automatic and no
response to this prompt is required. If an input / output signal board
is added in slots J1 to J7 in the future, the DanLoad 6000 senses the
presence of the new board and always displays the current
configuration in the Slot # <board type> display. However, the
input / output channels are not renumbered until the manual
command (ALT+SELECT) to reconfigure is issued.
Notes
The two swing arm switch inputs on the Main Processor Board and the two / four meter
pulse inputs and two high resolution meter pulse outputs on the Meter Pulse Board are
dedicated functions and are not shown in the Configuration Summary Display.
The v2 CPU (introduced in 1997) has a built-in DUART, but does not have dedicated swing-
arm inputs. AC or DC discrete inputs on I/O boards are used instead.
Version 5.50 software can be used with v1 CPU boards per the following:
1. The communications address must be configured via program code 662 since
the DUART board’s address switch is ignored.
2. Either the dedicated swing-arm discrete or inputs are used for side detection
depending on program codes 312, 37 and 377. See note at the beginning of
5.12 in the software specification.
3. 4-20 mA input 01 and RTD input 01 on the CPU board are inaccessible.

All input / output signal board slots (J1 to J7) are electrically identical. However, for electrical
isolation of AC and DC signals, only AC I/O or Enhanced I/O boards should be installed in slots
J1, J2 or J3. It is strongly suggested that board placement follow the recommended layout indicated
in the descriptions of each board in Section 2. The recommended board layout provides electrical
isolation of AC Voltage control and status signals (AC I/O and / or Enhanced I/O boards) by the
vertical metal partition that can be located between slots J2 and J3 or J3 and J4. In addition, if an
analog input signal board is installed, this board is electrically and physically isolated in the
rightward slot J7. A DanLoad 6000 basic configuration contains the following boards.

For a v2 CPU installation, the “base” DanLoad 6000 has one 2- or 4-Channel Meter Pulse board and
one AC I/O board. The v2 CPU board (1997) has one 4-20 mA input and one RTD input built-in.
Up to two 2- or 4-Channel Analog Inputs boards can be added for measuring temperatures, pressures
and densities. Note that the DanLoad 6000 cannot correct densities at measured temperatures to
densities at standard temperatures. Up to two meter pulse boards (of the same kind or mixed) can
be used.

# Serial communications require an RS-485 / RS-232 DUART module. For v1 CPU boards,
a DUART module is required for data logging to a printer or data logging device. The
DUART is integral to the v2 CPU board.
# The meter pulse input board can be either 2-channel or 4-channel types. One or two boards
can be installed. If two boards are installed, they can be any combination of 2-channel and
4-channel boards. However, there can be a total of only four flow meters. If two 4-channel
boards are installed, four meters with two pulse signals from each meter can be implemented
for IP-252 level 'B' pulse security. For pulse security verification, pulse input Channel A
is used for flow measurement and pulse input Channel B is used for verification of Channel
A integrity).
# The swing arm input on v1 CPU boards is normally from either a single switch or dual
switch swing arm. This input is used for swing arm side detect and keypad side enable and
to indicate the active load rack side to a terminal automation system.
The DanLoad 6000 automatically assigns physical input and output channel numbers during initial
setup or when manually commanded to do so. The channel assignment is performed as follows. The
instrument scans the input / output signal boards located in slots J1 (leftward) through J7
(rightward) in that order. Each board is identified and the physical channels on the board, indicated
in Appendix A, are assigned a sequential channel number corresponding to the same type channel.
These physical I/O channel assignments can be viewed by pressing the ALT+0 key while operating
in the Program Mode. While viewing the channel assignments, the prompt message ALT+SELECT
to reconfigure is displayed on the message line. Issuing this command causes the DanLoad 6000
to re-number the physical input / output channels if the board complement has been altered in any
manner since the last configuration. There are five different types of input / output signals that can
be handled by the DanLoad 6000. These channel types are listed below.
Meter inputs Dedicated meter pulse input numbers 01 and 02 if one meter pulse board is
installed. Dedicated meter pulse input numbers 01, 02, 03, 04 if two meter
pulse boards are installed. (Four channel meter pulse boards implement
channels 1A / 1B and 2A / 2B OR 3A / 3B and 4A / 4B depending on board
jumper configuration.)
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 25
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
Discrete inputs Assigned discrete input numbers from 01 to the maximum number of discrete
status inputs present, in the order that the inputs are encountered by the
configuration scan.
Discrete outputs Assigned discrete output numbers from 01 to the maximum number of
discrete control outputs present, in the order that the inputs are encountered
by the configuration scan.
The physical channel assignments are indicated under each channel type header in the following
format.
where:
cc = Logical (software assigned) input / output number (for this type of point)
assigned to this point. This number is assigned automatically. Discrete Vdc
and Vac status inputs are numbered sequentially in the same series. Each
channel number is dependent on the I/O board location and the physical board
channel. Vdc and Vac control outputs are numbered sequentially in the same
series, dependent on the I/O board location and the physical board channel.
Chan n = Sequential channel number 0 to n that identifies the physical channel on the
I/O board. The maximum range for this number is 0 to 7. (Note: Maximum
of 8 output channels on an AC I/O board.)
<board type>= Board name: 2-Ch. Meter, 4-Ch. Meter, AC I/O, DC I/O, Enhanced I/O,
2-Ch. Analog, 8-Ch. Analog
3 - 26 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
The logical input / output number assignments are solely dependent on I/O board locations. This
assignment informs the DanLoad 6000 of the physical input / output signal configuration and assigns
non-duplicated logical channel numbers (leftward column) for identifying each point. The physical
channel assignments cannot be changed. The assignments are determined by the process I/O board
complement and type of boards.
The operating state of a discrete output is OPEN or deenergized when the controlled device is in a
OFF, CLOSED, NORMAL, or SAFE state. Discrete outputs that control flow control valves, block
valves, or pumps are energized or CLOSED to OPEN the valve or RUN the pump motor so that an
open wire, open coil, or power failure to the DanLoad 6000 will cause the affected valve(s) to
move to their CLOSED positions and pump motors to stop running. This method of handling control
outputs assures that operation of the loading system is inherently fail-safe.
Safety circuits (permissive status inputs) are normally closed switch or relay contacts that indicate
a normal or safe condition from the corresponding device. Common permissive devices are vehicle
ground connection detectors, tank overspill detectors, and fire warning systems. The DanLoad
6000 has the capability of detecting up to eight general purpose safety circuit inputs, six recipe
selection inputs, and four block valve status inputs. Several normally closed contacts for different
safety circuits can be field wired in series. This implementation reduces the number of physical
discrete inputs required, but also generalizes the common safety input. The DanLoad 6000, or
terminal automation system, cannot determine the specific device that has generated the safety
circuit open alarm when several permissive signals are wired in series.
Inverted discrete inputs. In order to provide greater flexibility with field signals, most discrete input
functions (e.g. safety circuit inputs, see the list below) can be configured to be "open" when power
is applied, "closed" otherwise, by simply adding 50 to the actual discrete input number, i.e.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 27
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
Discrete inputs numbers 51 and above are called inverted discrete inputs. The DanLoad 6000
validates inverted discrete inputs based on the actual number of discrete inputs, e.g. if there are 10
discrete inputs (two AC I/O boards and a DC I/O board), discrete inputs 0 thru 10 and 51 through
60 can be configured.
The configuration summary display ("ALT"+"0" in program mode) and the I/O diagnostic use only
real discrete inputs, not inverted state discrete inputs.
The DanLoad 6000 implements logical signal handling techniques at the process signal interface
level by allowing any process input or output signal to be connected to any physical input or output
channel of the same type, such as RTD, status input, or control output. This is accomplished by
assigning each physical input and output channel to an internal logical channel (function) during
the setup procedure via the program codes. This design provides flexibility for the user by allowing
one common physical configuration of the DanLoad 6000 to be adaptable to most applications. In
addition, the spare parts stocking requirements are greatly reduced so that only a minimal number
of different types of electronic signal input / output boards are required.

are performed automatically during the initial setup of the DanLoad 6000. These assignments can
be manually changed later if required. The current physical channel to logical channel assignments
can be viewed at any time. All physical input / output channel to logical channel assignments are
defined in the following program code groups. Appendix A contains worksheets that identify each
point.
The channel assignments defined by these program codes are viewable while operating in Program
Mode. The rightward column of the program code display line contains a one or two digit number.
This number is the currently assigned logical channel number in the series of channel numbers
corresponding to the type of channel.
Discrete status inputs and outputs are assigned to default logical channels during setup. During
initial setup, carefully verify that all input and output point assignments match the actual wiring of
your installation. See Appendix A for default channel assignments.

The display example above shows program codes related to component number 1 only. The
DanLoad 6000 maintains the fixed relationship between each defined component and each flow
meter so that high flow measurement accuracy can be maintained when multiple components are
delivered through one flow meter.
Note
The values of program code 171 / 182 / 193 / 204 Nominal K-factor have great affect on
control of the quantity of product delivered and flow measurement accuracy. These program
code values must be set properly before any loading operation is performed.
Default value 23.0. This value indicates the K-factor (system factor) for the flow meter. [NOTE:
The initial K-factor should be the pulses per quantity unit obtained from the flow meter identification
plate or from the manufacturer. This number should be mathematically rounded to one decimal
place (nn.n), if necessary].
Default value 1.0000. This value is the base meter factor value used for comparison with all system
meter factor entries. Program code [175 / 177 / 179 / 181] [186 / 188 / 190 / 192] [197 / 199 / 201

deviate more than +/- the percentage value of program code 215 Master MF %. In this example,
assuming that program code 215 Master MF % is the default value of 2.00, acceptable meter factors
must be within the range of 0.9800 to 1.0200 (NOTE: The master meter factor is calculated by the
171 Nominal K-factor divided by the actual K-factor and mathematically rounded to four decimal
places.)
Default value is 120. This program code defines the flow rate at which a component is delivered
during the component’s configured low flow stop quantity at the end of an in-line batch. The overall
flow rate of the blend at the end of a batch is the sum of the stop rates of any flowing components.

Default value 200. This value is the calibration flow rate for meter factor 1 and is also the low flow
start and stop flow rate for sequential unit type. The flow rate is in quantity units per minute (such
as gallons per minute). The engineering units are dependent on the value of program code 171

Default value 2.0. This value is the quantity units allowed to be delivered which exceed the preset
quantity. The alarm can only occur after the DanLoad 6000 has attempted to stop the delivery in the
normal manner. The alarm priority selection is permanently set to Primary. If the Overrun limit
quantity alarm becomes active, the delivery operation in progress will be suspended. (NOTE: It
may be necessary to temporarily set this value to a significantly larger value while the first several
batches are delivered at a new installation. This is required so that the DanLoad 6000 can calculate
the final trip or closing quantity delivered. The DanLoad 6000 does not calculate the final trip
quantity if the delivery is terminated by an alarm action.)
Warning
Use several small quantity batch deliveries to load a vessel after initial setup. This procedure
permits verification of proper flow control valve operation and prevents overfilling the vessel.
Default selection Off. This selection indicates the action taken if the delivered quantity is less than
the value of program code 229 Underflow limit quantity. The Off selection disables the underflow
alarm.

Default value 5.0. This value is the number of quantity units allowed for the delivered quantity to
be less than the preset quantity at the end of a batch delivery operation.
Default selection Primary. This selection indicates that if the No flow alarm becomes active, the
current delivery operation will be suspended.
Default value 5.0. This value is elapsed time allowed for not receiving any pulses from the flow
meter when the system is in a component flowing configuration.
Example: The pump is running, the block valve is OPEN, and the flow control valve is OPEN
and no pulses are detected.
Default value 10.0. The quantity of unauthorized flow at which an unauthorized flow alarm occurs.
The DanLoad 6000 measures pulses continuously, not just when a batch is in progress. Zero disables
the unauthorized flow alarm. If the unauthorized flow quantity is set to "something point 1", e.g. 0.1,
1.1 or 2.1, then a meter's unauthorized flow counter (the internal one that causes the alarm to be
raised, not the running totalizer seen in the dynamic data display or by the automation system) is
cleared whenever the meter is authorized for a batch; this prevents the "unauthorized flow alarm will
eventually happen" problem. The default value is 10.0.

The display example above shows program codes related to the method of processing pulse security
error conditions. These program codes are only applicable in installations that used IP-252 pulse
security methods and only during batch deliveries. Reference program codes 233 and 234 in Section
6.13 of this manual and item below.
Note
Pulse security implementation is hardware and software dependent. The value of program
code 233 Error limit (pulses) must be set to 0, to prevent triggering this alarm if the physical
flow meter installation does not provide the required dual pulse train to the DanLoad 6000.
Default value 0. This value is the allowable accumulated error count due to comparison differences
between dual pulse train inputs from one flow meter. The priority selection is internally set to
Primary. If an Error limit alarm becomes active, the current batch delivery operation will be
stopped.
Default value 10000. This value is used reset the accumulated pulse comparison error count from
dual pulse train comparison to be reset to zero after 10000 errors have been accumulated during the
current delivery operation.
Example: If program code 233 Error limit (pulses) is set to 10 and program code 234 Reset
count (pulses) is set to 1000, the DanLoad 6000 allows no more than 10 pulses errors
for each accumulated 1000 input pulses.

From two to four products can be blended into a composite stream and delivered. The Delivery -
Blending table located in Appendix A contains an overview of all physical input and output signals
and internal control program codes that are related to product delivery / blending equipment and
procedures.
The basic configuration of the type of blending to be performed is controlled by the entry in program
code 026 Unit type. The configurable blender types are described below.
Sequential blending is the loading of one product at one time through one flow meter and one flow
control valve. The blend ratio is correct only after all components of the blend have been loaded.
A DanLoad 6000 that controls loading of one product is configured as a sequential blender, although
no component blending action is performed. Block valve control for each component can be
controlled either automatically or manually as described below.
# Seq.(auto)
The DanLoad 6000 controls the opening and closing of the component block valves
automatically.
# Seq.(manual)
The DanLoad 6000 prompts the operator to open and close the component block valves at
the start and end of each batch loading.
Prompt: Open block valve - press ENTER after a batch delivery has been configured
and the START key is pressed
Prompt: Close block valve - pres ENTER after delivery of the batch and after the
flow control valve has been closed
The response to either prompt is to press the ENTER key to execute the open or close block
valve operation.

# Preset the batch quantity (the total quantity of the components to be loaded) and press the
START key.
# Open the flow control valve to increase the flow rate of the first component to the low flow
rate value and maintain the low flow rate for the specified low flow start quantity (program
code 84 for component 1 and other components as required).
# Open the flow control valve to increase the flow rate of the component to the high (normal)
flow rate value and maintain the flow rate during the component delivery.
# Close the flow control valve to decrease the flow rate of the component to the low flow rate
value and deliver the specified quantity at the low flow shutdown rate.
# After the low flow rate quantity has been delivered, shut the flow control valve.
# If only one component was specified in the recipe, the batch delivery is complete at this
time, if another component was specified in the recipe, this component is loaded in the
same manner as specified by the steps listed above. The total batch quantity preset in step
1 remains the same. The sequence of component loading is repeated for each component
specified by the recipe and in the sequence to load specified by the recipe. The sequence to
load is program code 486 for recipe number 1.
In-line blending is the simultaneous blending and loading of two to four products. Each product has
a dedicated flow meter and flow control valve. In-line blending can be either non-proportional or
proportional as described below.
# In-line non-proportional
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 71
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# In-line proportional
(Note: In-line proportional blending can only be implemented in cases where proportion of
each component in the blend is great enough to permit the component flow meter to operate
above the minimum specified flow rate of the meter during the entire batch loading cycle.)
In-line proportional blending is accomplished by controlling the ratio between all
components at all times during the delivery by controlling the individual flow rate of each
component. The ratio of the delivered blend is correct at all times during the delivery.
Therefore, the delivery can be stopped at any time and the delivered blend will be within
tolerance.
"Side" stream blending is similar to in-line blending except one product component is
delivered upstream to another product component. "Side" Stream blending is typically used
to inject ethanol into gasoline. Ethanol is injected into the gasoline stream and the blend is
measured by the custody transfer meter. The basic control/operation of side Stream Blending
is described below:
• Program code 023 – “Side” Stream Blending, allows to enable side stream blending.
• Setting program code 024 - Sequential proportional, to “Yes” allows proportional
blending of side stream component (ethanol) with primary component (gasoline).
( Note: This program code is applicable only when DanLoad 6000 is configured for
sequential blending.)
• Set up the Side Stream Meter Program codes 053/056/059/062. These program
codes specify the meter number used as a Side Stream Meter. For example, assume
that meter 1 is the primary premium blend stream meter used for loading Premium
and measures the blend of Premium and Ethanol. Meter 2 is the primary regular
blend stream meter used for loading Regular and measures the blend of Regular and
Ethanol. Meter 3 is the side stream meter for measuring the Ethanol component
volume.
Program code 053, 056, 059, and 062 correspond respectively to preset meters 1, 2,
3, and 4 set in PC 051, 054, 057, and 060 . In the above example meter 1 (PC 051)
measures the combined blend volume of both the Premium component and the
Ethanol component, and meter 2 (PC 054) measures the combined blend volume of
both the Regular component and the Ethanol component, Meter 3 (PC 057) measures
only the Ethanol volume.
As an example, the user sets program code 053 = 3, 056 = 3, and 059=0. This
configuration indicates that the Ethanol measured by Meter 3 is passing through the
Premium meter 1 (053) and through the Regular meter 2 (056). Meter 3 (059) is not
being used to measure a final delivered flow, however the volume being measured
by meter 3 flows though meter 1 or meter 2.

• Set up the Midgrade Primary blend Stream meter (if applicable) Program Code
063.This program code defines the meter number where the side stream (Ethanol
stream) passes through in case of more than two product blending.
(Note: This program code is applicable only when DanLoad 6000 is configured for
inline blending.
For example, meter 1 is for Premium, meter 2 is for Regular and meter 3 is for
Ethanol. Set program code value to 1 if the Premium meter (meter 1) is used to pass
the Ethanol for Midgrade product (Blending of Premium, Regular and Ethanol).
• The Block valve operation of “Side” stream sequential blending is not changed.
• The block valve operation of “Side” stream in-line blending is changed as follows:
Assign an output (Program Code 400/402/404/406) to open a block valve to allow
the side stream component (e.g. Ethanol) to blend with the wild stream component
(e.g. Gasoline). For two component blending (One component must be the side
stream component) the block valve output will be "Closed" when the corresponding
wild stream component is used.
(Note: Do not assign any output for the side stream component.)
• Assign an input (Program code: 401/403/405/407) to monitor the status switch for
the block valve defined in program code 400/402/404/406.

PSD - 088 / 094 / 100 / 106 Pump stop delay (s)
Startup:
The line pack delay and block valve delay are relative to the opening of the flow control valve at the
start of a loading operation. The diagram indicates the line pack delay time is shorter than block
valve delay time. Both of these delays are independent and only related to the opening of the flow
control valve. Therefore, the delays may be set to open the block valve and start the pump
simultaneously or to start the pump before opening the block valve. If 0 seconds delay is entered for
the line pack delay and the block valve delay, the pump starts, the block valve opens, and the flow
control valve opens simultaneously. The logic does not allow configuration for starting the pump
or opening the block valve after the flow control valve is commanded OPEN.
Shutdown:
The flow control valve is shut to stop the flow. The block valve is automatically closed when no
flow is detected. For a normally terminated delivery, the pump stop delay is from the time that no
flow is detected until the pump output is de-energized.
Program code 248 Block valve time (s) in the Alarms group sets the time period to allow after
sending a block valve CLOSE command (discrete output OPEN) before activating an Unable to
close block valve # alarm, if the block valve fails to respond to the CLOSE command. A zero
indicates “redirect to recipe selection inputs” for recipes 1 through 6 and “not used” for recipes 7 and
above.

This group of program codes define the characteristics for operation of digital flow control valves
(throttling valves) only. Fixed set point stem switch valves do not use these program codes.
However, two-stage valves with one or two stem switches do use the Solenoid 1 and Solenoid 2
control outputs to control the valve actuator. The control logic for digital flow control valves is
shown in Figure 3 - 10. And the control and status logic for two-stage valves is shown in Figure
3 - 11 and Figure 3 - 12.
Valve State
The incremental open / close state of a digital flow control valve, such as a Daniel model 1815 or
Dan-Flo valve, is controlled by two variable duration pulsed control outputs (Solenoid 1 and
Solenoid 2). A digital flow control valve has a sealed variable capacity chamber downstream of the
movable plug. The upstream surface area and cavity surface area of the plug plus pressure exerted
by a closing spring, closes the plug against the seat and stops all flow through the valve when the
upstream process liquid is allowed to enter the cavity (through normally open Solenoid 1). This is
the normal state of the valve with neither solenoid powered.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 75
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The valve is opened to the low flow set point by closing the upstream (cavity fill) pilot and opening
the downstream (cavity drain) pilot. The DanLoad 6000 senses the flow rate from the meter pulse
input and stops the valve from opening when the desired flow rate is attained. The valve open / close
action is stopped at any position by closing the downstream (cavity drain) pilot and closing the
upstream (cavity fill) pilot. Flow rate through the flow meter is adjusted dynamically. The valve
is closed by closing the downstream (cavity drain) pilot and opening the upstream (cavity fill)
pilot.
Warning
The Daniel model 1815 flow control valve has an needle valve located in the upstream pilot
circuit that can be used to restrict the flow in this circuit and slow the valve opening speed. A
corresponding needle valve located in the downstream pilot circuit can be used to restrict flow
in that circuit and slow the valve closing speed. These two needle valves are normally set fully
open so that the DanLoad 6000 has maximum possible control of the valve. These needle
valves should only be adjusted by persons familiar with the operation of these valves. Use
caution when delivering a product after one or both of these needle valves have been adjusted.
Mis-adjustment of the needle valves can cause tank overfill and spillage or under delivery.

The Solenoid 1 and Solenoid 2 control outputs are used to control the open / close position of a flow
control valve without stem switches. A flow control valve without stem switches does not control
the flow rate based on rate of flow feedback from the flow meter. The flow rate at low flow start
high flow (normal flow) and low flow stop is controlled by an external flow rate regulator. Control
output Solenoid 1 is closed to open the valve. The valve opens to the low flow start position and
the low flow start quantity is delivered at that rate. After the low flow start quantity has been
delivered, control output Solenoid 2 is closed to open the flow control valve to the high (normal
flow rate) position. When the remaining quantity equals the low flow stop quantity, control output
Solenoid 2 is opened to position the valve at the low flow stop flow rate. After the low flow stop
rate is delivered, control output Solenoid 1 is opened and the flow control valve is fully shut. All
flow through the valve ceases.

The normally closed stem switch (stem switch 1) is monitored during initial opening so that the

Temperature compensation and pressure compensation of the liquid quantity to the quantity at
standard conditions can be used together or independently. One of several standards can be selected
for temperature compensation. One of several standards can be selected for pressure compensation.
Each standard is applicable to a specific density range of hydrocarbon liquids. Each standard is
applicable to a specific temperature or pressure range. Temperature compensation is commonly used
when loading refined hydrocarbon liquids and crude oil, though in some cases it may be performed
by a terminal automation system. Both temperature and pressure compensation are normally used
when loading liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Tables 3 - 1, 3- 2, and 3 - 3 contain information on
the applicability of the various standards.

4 Program code 445 F-factor X 1000000000 is the component’s compressibility factor * 109
in quantity units per pressure unit. This entry is only used if program code 444 Pressure
option is set to Const, since the other CPL options calculate the F-factor based on the
temperature and density.
5 Values of density and gravity are scaled dependent on the setting of program code 046. Set
this carefully since it is also used for mass computation. The density/gravity scale follows.

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
In program mode/setup, if any component's CTL option (program codes 432, 435, etc.) is modified
to one that has a standard reference temperature then the reference temperature (program code 430),
which is used for all components, is automatically modified to the standard reference temperature
for that CTL option (per the table above). If any component's CTL option is modified to one that does
not have a standard reference temperature then the reference temperature is not modified. Thus, if
temperature correction to a non-standard reference temperature using a CTL option that has a standard
reference temperature is required, it is necessary to configure each component's CTL option prior to
configuring the reference temperature (program code 430). (Note: The temperature units (program
code 427) must still be configured manually to the appropriate value for the configured CTL options.)
When a CTL factor is computed for a CTL option that has a standard reference temperature, the
DanLoad 6000 tests whether the configured reference temperature is equal to the standard reference
temperature. If it is equal, the CTL factor is computed in the usual way, i.e. as the CTL for the
component's batch average temperature, otherwise the CTL factor is computed as the ratio of the CTL
for the component's batch average temperature to the CTL for the configured reference temperature
which requires two calls to the CTL option's implementation.
It should be noted that the reference temperature (program code 430) can be modified indirectly, i.e.
by modifying a component's CTL option, and can affect CTL options. Program code 430 is weights
and measures protected by default.

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
When the mass of product is required (for display, data logging or delivery control) there are two
options; 1) use a mass meter, e.g. a Coriolis effect flow meter, which reports "pulses per unit mass"
to the DanLoad 6000, or 2) use a volumetric flow meter, e.g. a turbine meter, which reports "pulses
per unit gross volume" to the DanLoad 6000 and have the DanLoad 6000 compute the mass from
the gross volume. Both options are possible with the DanLoad 6000. This section describes the first
option.
The mass flow meter should be interfaced to the DanLoad 6000 via a transmitter (available from the
mass flow meter's vendor) that converts the raw Coriolis frequency to a scaled pulse stream. The
scaling is usually widely adjustable. The particular type of transmitter used determines the electrical
signal interface; the DanLoad 6000's meter pulse board must be strapped appropriately. Refer to
Section 2.2.2 Input/Output Board Description and jumper settings or contact Daniel Customer
Service for proper strapping configuration. The transmitter reports pulses per unit mass to the
DanLoad 6000, i.e. you can think of the mass meter as having a K-factor defined as the number of
pulses per unit of mass flow, e.g. 10 pulses per kilogram. (Some mass flow transmitters can report
pulses per unit of volume, in which case it can be treated, by the DanLoad 6000, as a volumetric flow
meter which is not discussed here.)
The K-factor (number of pulses per unit of mass flow, program code 171, 182, etc. per component)
should be configured on the DanLoad 6000. If the meter's calibration adjustment is via the mass
flow transmitter, all the meter factors on the DanLoad 6000 should typically be set to 1.0000. If the
meter's calibration adjustment is via the DanLoad 6000, the meter factors on the DanLoad 6000
should be adjusted based on the observed error during proving runs until the required accuracy is
achieved. (It is important to understand that the accuracy achieved depends on the mass flow meter's
repeatability.)
The configured K-factor and meter factor at each flow rate are applied to the input pulse stream in
the same way as for gross volume:
Mass = (Ei=1#factors (# pulses at rate i * meter factor for rate i)) / K-factor
Thus, the various gross and standard quantities displayed, printed and reported to an automation
system are, in fact, mass. All batch, meter and component quantities on the DanLoad 6000,
including flow rates, should be interpreted as being in units of mass as determined by the K-factor.
Configure the gross and standard product units mnemonics appropriately (program codes 217 and
218 respectively). When an operator enters a preset quantity and presses "START" the DanLoad
6000 delivers the requested number of mass units of product. The DanLoad 6000 cannot convert
from mass to volume. No temperature options (program code 432, etc. per component) or pressure
options (program code 444, etc. per component) should be configured since the Ctl and Cpl factors
cannot be meaningfully applied to mass. However, it is possible for
3 - 86 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
the DanLoad 6000 to sample (and calculate mass throughput weighted average values for)
temperature (RTD), pressure (4-20 mA) and density (4-20 mA) inputs throughout a batch for display,
printing and reporting to an automation system, by configuring the appropriate inputs (per meter),
the sample quantity (program code 431) and the density option (program code 456, etc. per
component). The DanLoad 6000 does not correct the input density to standard conditions. Density
correction to standard conditions must be done externally, e.g. by a densitometer or the mass flow
transmitter which can send the "live" value to the DanLoad 6000 via a 4-20 mA output.
When the mass of product is required (for display, data logging or delivery control) there are two
options; 1) use a mass meter, e.g. a Coriolis effect flow meter, which reports "pulses per unit mass"
to the DanLoad 6000, or 2) use a volumetric flow meter, e.g. a turbine meter or PD meter, which
reports "pulses per unit gross volume" to the DanLoad 6000 and have the DanLoad 6000 compute
the mass from the gross volume. Both options are possible with the DanLoad 6000. This section
describes the second option.
In order to have the DanLoad 6000 compute product mass, the DanLoad 6000 should first be
configured to compute the standard volume (net volume) in the usual way, i.e. specify temperature
units, temperature correction option per component, pressure correction option per component,
temperature input (RTD) per meter or backup temperature per component, density input (4-20 mA)
per meter or backup density per component, etc. See Section 3.7, Temperature and Pressure
Compensation. The temperature and pressure correction options are likely to dictate the density units
used by the DanLoad 6000. If a "live" density input is used, the input density should be corrected
to standard conditions external to the DanLoad 6000.
Mass computation is enabled by entering a mass computation adjustment factor per component,
which causes the standard volume to be recomputed as mass, i.e. for "standard quantity" read "mass".
Thus, batch mass, meter mass totalizers, component mass totalizers, etc. can be displayed in the
dynamic data display, printed on data logs and requested by an automation system. The meter
standard quantities to 2 decimal places (data codes 147, etc.) are not recomputed as mass, and still
show the standard volume even when mass computation is enabled. This allows meters to be proved
volumetrically, if required. If meters are proved by mass, i.e. by comparison with a weighscale, the
following should be considered:
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 87
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The mass computation adjustment factor provides the flexibility to compute mass in almost any units
(pounds, kilograms, etc.) from volume and density in almost any units. However, it should be noted
that the DanLoad 6000 displays mass only in (rounded to nearest) whole units, e.g. ±0.5 tons if the
mass computation adjustment factor computes tons. See program code 68 for more information and
examples. An adjustment for buoyancy in air can be included in the mass computation. See program
code 426 for more information.
It is also possible to preset by mass, e.g. to preset and load a batch of 10,000 kilograms, by enabling
mass computation (as described above) and then setting the preset/delivery type to "Std" (standard
quantity). See program code 80 in Section 6 for more information.
Care should be exercised when enabling mass computation and, more importantly, when presetting
by mass since the number of mass units can be very different from the number of volume units.
Small batches should be loading in order to verify the configuration and calculations.
From one to six additives, or no additives, can be injected into the loaded product stream. Program
code numbers are indicated in the text in the following manner. One three-digit number indicates
that the parameter applies globally to all additive injection. Six three-digit numbers separated by
slashes (/) indicate that a separate parameter applies to each of the six additives injected. The six
three-digit program code numbers are in additive numerical order (additive 1 through 6).
The primary features of the additive injection control system are listed below.
# Allows direct control of additive injection (for up to 6 physical additives) via an "additive
panel" (additive meter and on/off valve), thus making so-called "smart" additive injector
systems obsolete. This also makes the DanLoad 6000 a more attractive economical solution
for load rack automation when additive injection is required.
# Allows different injection methods (additive injector types) for each logical additive so that
old and new additive injection equipment can be mixed on a single loading arm, e.g. mix
additive panels on the same loading arm.
# Provides multiple injection rates (concentrations) per additive via the "Multi Rate" additive
selection method.
# Provides recipe gross and standard running totalizers and additive running totalizers to
facilitate product and additive inventory management.
3 - 88 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
# Provides (functional) backward compatibility with previous DanLoad 6000 versions, though
actual program codes may be different.
# Provides reporting (data logging) capabilities to facilitate product and additive inventory
management and configuration.
# Provides an additive meter calibration screen with a step-by-step procedure for computing
an additive meter’s K-factor.
Typically, "smart" additive injector systems control the flow of additive into product via an on/off
valve and an additive meter. The "smart" additive injector must be interfaced to an electronic preset
(batch controller), PLC or other automation system via hard-wired signals (flow permissive, pulse
per gallon, feedback and alarm) or communications (RS-232 or RS-485).
The DanLoad 6000 electronic preset controls and meters additive flow directly, and thus combines
the functionality of an advanced electronic preset and multiple "smart" additive injector systems.
This has the following advantages:
# Overall electronic preset/additive injector system cost is reduced. The saving on "smart"
additive injectors may even cover the cost of the electronic preset!
# System installation is simplified due to reduced interfacing requirements. All that is needed
is an output to each additive control valve and an input from each additive meter.
# System operation is simplified. The DanLoad 6000 directly controls the flow of product and
additives. Configuration, calibration, alarm processing, diagnostics, etc. all take place at the
DanLoad 6000. Some possible causes of alarms (due to interfacing) are eliminated.
# Additive clean line start processing is improved. Unlike existing "smart" additive injector
systems, the DanLoad 6000 knows the preset volume, which allows injection cycles to be
spread over most of the batch and prevents "spurious" over-injection alarms on small
batches.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 89
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
The DanLoad 6000 can control up to six physical additives. One additive ratio output (typically a
discrete output on an AC I/O or enhanced I/O board) and one additive meter input (typically a "low
speed" or "high speed" discrete input (depending on the pulse width) on a DC I/O board or enhanced
I/O board) is required per additive. The additive meter and on/off valve are usually mounted on an
"additive panel" which provides additional piping for additive meter calibration. The DanLoad
6000's additive ratio output is wired to the on/off valve. The additive meter is wired to the DanLoad
6000's additive meter (additive feedback) input. The end user must ensure the additive meter output
does not exceed the DanLoad high speed input frequency and minimum pulse width specification.
Additive volume is measured via a K-factor per additive which is used for both authorized and
unauthorized additive flow. "Selected" additives become "authorized" when a batch is started,
remain authorized while the batch is stopped become "unauthorized" when the batch ends, which
allows an authorized additive to be injected manually when a batch stops due to under-injection.
The "Multi Rate" additive selection method allows multiple additive ratios (concentrations of
additive) to be configured per additive by configuring an additive ratio per recipe, and can be used
with any injection method or combination of injection methods. However, since the program code
for a recipe's component 4 percentage is used to configure the recipe's "override" additive ratio
volume, the DanLoad 6000 is limited to a maximum of three components in this configuration.
Recipe and additive running totalizers allow product and additive thruput for a particular customer
to be monitored. (The workability of this scheme depends somewhat on there being no more than
one additive per recipe.) The recipe gross and standard running totalizers (data codes 151 through
218) and the additive running totalizers (data codes 96 through 101) can be displayed in the dynamic
data display, printed on the data logging printer (via the totalizers data log) or requested via
automation system communications (command code 22h).
The configuration summary data log (a report showing all program code values) can be printed from
the diagnostics menu in the manual operating mode. The format is similar to the pages in Setup.
For each setup group, the unit address, current date and time and the setup group name is printed.
(Within the DanLoad 6000, each setup group is generated as a separate data log so that it is possible
to form feed after each setup group is printed.) For each page in each setup group, the page heading
is printed. For each program code in each page in each setup group, the program code, program code
description and program code value are printed (forty columns wide, just like in Setup).
The DanLoad 6000 application program can verify that the volume of additive measured is within
configured limits throughout a batch, and raise an alarm, Additive X failure, where X is the additive
number 1 to 6, and stop the batch loading if the volume of additive measured is not within
configured limits. This provides a low-cost alternative to smart injector systems.
3 - 90 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
Additive is typically injected in bursts or doses, so that the actual product to additive ratio varies
widely during a batch, particularly near the start of a batch. This is illustrated in the table on the
following page, which contains data for an injector that injects 100 cm3 (0.0264 gallons) of additive
for every 40 gallons of product delivered.
The DanLoad 6000 is aware of the varying product to additive ratio during loading and does not
trigger erroneous additive injection alarms unless actual ratio errors exist. Additionally, the
following two clean line volume parameters affect the rate of additive injection.
# Program code 138 Clean line qty sets the quantity of product to deliver at the end of the
batch loading without additive injection. For sequential blending, the value set by program
code 138 Clean line qty applies to each component in the blend. This function prevents
additive contamination in subsequent product deliveries.
# Program code 714 Clean line qty sets the quantity of pure primary component, set by
program code 111 Primary component, to deliver at the end of the delivery. This function
prevents product contamination in subsequent product deliveries. If, for a particular batch,
the preset quantity is less than or equal to the clean line quantity, the batch is delivered as if
there were no clean line quantity configured.

"044 Additive units". This identifies the units and format in which additive volumes are displayed
and printed, i.e. the external additive units, and provides a mnemonic for additive units on data logs.
The internal additive units depend on the additive injection method (program codes 141, 146, etc.)
per additive and, for the "Meter" and "Control" injection methods, the product units (program code
29). Select one of the following:
# "cc". Additive volumes are displayed and printed in cubic centimeters formatted as
9999999.99.
# "in3". Additive volumes are displayed and printed in cubic inches formatted as
9999999.99.
# "L". Additive volumes are displayed and printed in liters formatted as 99999.9999.
"136 Selection method". The method by which additives are selected in the manual operating mode.
(In the automatic operating mode the additive selection method is determined by the automation
system. Refer to the Authorize Transaction (06h) command in the DanLoad 6000 Communications
Spec.) Select one of the following:
# "External". All configured ("Number of additives") additive ratio outputs are cycled.
An additive can be selected by an external contact, e.g. an automation system relay
or a key-switch.
# "Inputs". Configured ("Number of additives") additive ratio outputs are cycled only
if their corresponding additive selection inputs are closed during a batch. (Similar
to external, except the DanLoad 6000 knows which additives are being injected.)
# "Recipe". The additives specified by the last two characters of the recipe name,
entered as the 2-digit decimal equivalent of an additive "bit map" (see below), are
selected automatically. Multiple additives can be selected per recipe.
3 - 92 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
# "Multi Rate". The additives specified by the last two characters of the recipe name,
entered as the 2-digit decimal equivalent of an additive "bit map" (see below), are
selected automatically, and the recipe's component 4 percentage (truncated from
hundredths to whole units) is interpreted as the additive ratio volume. (This limits
the DanLoad 6000 to a maximum of three components.) Multiple additives can be
selected per recipe.
The default value is "External". The decimal equivalent of the additive "bit map" for the "Recipe"
and "Multi Rate" selection methods is computed by adding together the appropriate values from the
right-hand column of the following table:
Additive # Value
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
For example, in order to select additives 3 and 5 to be injected into the midgrade recipe enter
"Midgrade______20" for the recipe name. (4 + 16 = 20, the underscore character represents a
space.)
The additive "ratio volume" (per additive) is now in whole units of product. However, if the "Multi
Rate" additive selection method is used, the recipe's component 4 percentage (truncated from
hundredths to whole units) is used for the additive ratio volume. (The ratio volume in the additive
delivery parameters setup group must still be configured if verification using the volume of additive
per 1000 of product is to be performed.)
"140 Ratio volume" (1 to 9999). The volume (possibly a combination of gross and/or standard
quantities through multiple component meters) in product units (program code 29) which controls
one additive injection cycle. The default value is 40.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 93
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
"141 Injection method". The first two injection methods ("Mech" and "Handshake") totalize additive
based on a quantity per pulse, and their internal additive units are cm3. The other two injection
methods ("Meter" and "Control") totalize additive using an additive meter K-factor, and their internal
additive units, i.e. for interpreting the K-factor, are the configured product units (program code 29).
For all four injection methods, the DanLoad 6000 converts additive volumes from internal units to
external units (program code 44) for display and printing. Since the injection method is configured
per additive (program codes 141, 146, etc.), one additive can be injected via a simple mechanical
injector ("Mech") while another can be injected and measured via an additive panel ("Control").
Select one of the following:
# "Mech". Additive injection via a mechanical injector (fixed dose per ratio cycle)
with feedback. The DanLoad 6000 controls the ratio output (if configured) and
totalizes additive using the quantity per pulse on input (if a feedback input is
configured) or on output (if not). Additive verification is based on the configured
required number of feedback pulses per ratio cycle (program code 247), the
configured additive error limit (program code 246) and the volume of additive per
1000 of product (if configured).
# "Meter". Additive injection via a mechanical injector (fixed dose per ratio cycle)
with additive meter. The DanLoad 6000 controls the ratio output (if configured) and
totalizes additive using the additive K-factor on input (if a feedback input is
configured). Additive verification is based on the volume of additive per 1000 of
product (if configured).
# "Control". Additive control via an on/off valve (variable dose per ratio cycle) with
additive meter. The DanLoad 6000 controls (by manipulating the on/off valve) the
volume of additive per ratio cycle (unlike the other injection methods) and totalizes
additive using the additive K-factor on input (if a feedback input is configured).
Additive verification is based on the volume of additive per 1000 of product (if
configured). The volume of additive per 1000 of product must be configured for the
"Control" injection method.
Note: The "global" totalizing method (program code 137), e.g. "Out", "Out/Sgl", etc., which
combined the totalizing method and the feedback method in previous software versions is
no longer used.
3 - 94 _________________________________________________________________ Setup
_________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
The ratio cycle "inject %" (program code 137, 0 to 100, default 50) allows the percentage of the
adjusted-for-additive-clean-line-start ratio cycle at which injection begins, i.e. the ratio output is
switched on, to be configured. For the "Mech", "Handshake" and "Meter" injection methods,
injection ends, i.e. the ratio output is switched off, after 50% of the adjusted-for-clean-line-start ratio
volume has been delivered. For the "Control" injection method, injection ends, i.e. the ratio output
is switched off, when the appropriate volume of additive for the ratio cycle has been metered. Note:
Setting the inject percent (program code 137) to 50 and the injection method (program code 141,
etc.) to "Handshake" implements the "inject after ratio volume" control required for mercaptan
injection (per Mapco).
"142 Volume/pulse or K-factor" (0.00 to 9999.99). This is used for totalizing additive (both
authorized and unauthorized additive flow). This is in "internal additive units". For the "Mech" and
"Handshake" injection methods it is the volume per pulse in cm3. For the "Meter" and "Control"
injection methods it is the additive meter's K-factor, i.e. pulses per product unit (product units per
program code 29). Internal additive units can be converted to external additive units via the
configured additive units (program code 44). The default value is 0.00.
"143 Additive per 1000" (0.0000 to 99999.9999). The required volume of additive in external
additive units (program code 44) per 1000 units of product. (If the external additive units are "cc",
the additive per 1000 is truncated to two decimal places internally, e.g. 50.3456 is truncated to
50.34.) When a non-zero value is configured, the DanLoad 6000 verifies that the volume of additive
is within limits (program codes 272, 273 and 278) during a batch and calculates the actual percentage
of the required additive per 1000 continuously throughout a batch (data code 239 for additive 1, etc.).
Thus, "additive volume verification" can be enabled (somewhat) independently of the additive
injection method (program codes 141, 146, etc.). An additive failure alarm is raised if the measured
volume of additive is not within limits during a batch. The default value is 0.0000, i.e. verification
disabled.
"246 Additive error limit" (1 to 99). For the "Mech" and "Handshake" injection methods this is the
maximum number of pulses by which the actual feedback pulse count can differ from the ideal
feedback pulse count before an additive failure alarm is raised. The ideal feedback pulse count is
based on the additive feedback count (program code 247) or is 1 (internal default, independent of
configuration) for the "Handshake" injection method. The default value is 3.
"247 Additive feedback count" (0 to 9999). The expected number of feedback pulses per additive
ratio cycle for the "Mech" additive injection method, e.g. 1 for Titan PAC-3 "confirmation pulse",
2 for Hyrolec injector. The number of seconds within which the additive feedback input must go
on and off again after the additive ratio output has been energized for the "Handshake" additive
injection method, e.g. 5. The default value is 0.
"271 Unauth additive flow vol (0.0000 to 99999.9999)". The volume (units determined by additive
K-factor) of unauthorized additive flow at which an additive X failure alarm is raised for the "Meter"
and "Control" injection methods (program codes 141, 146, etc.). Unauthorized additive flow is
detected as a feedback error for the "Mech" and "Handshake" injection methods. Zero disables the
alarm. The default value is 0.0000, i.e. disabled.
Setup _________________________________________________________________ 3 - 95
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
“278 Additive per 1000 error limit" (1 to 99). For the "Meter" and "Control" injection methods this
is the number of ratio volumes worth of additive by which the actual volume of additive can differ
from the ideal volume of additive at any point in a batch before an additive failure alarm is raised.
The default value is 1.
The last two characters of a recipe's name (program code 481, 487, etc.) specify the additives to be
selected for the "Recipe" and "Multi Rate" additive selection method; the last two character's of the
recipe's name are not displayed in the recipe selection screen when either one of these additive
selection methods is selected. Two digits must be entered in order to select any additives.
"710 Cutoff hour" (0 to 23). The hour (24-hour clock/military time) at which a cutoff (end of day)
processing is run by the DanLoad 6000. Cutoff processing is "postponed" until any batch in progress
is ended. Cutoff processing includes storing and printing meter, component, recipe and additive
totalizers. The default value is 0, i.e. cutoff at midnight.
Once a second, the DanLoad 6000 compares the current hour with configured cutoff hour, the current
day with the last cutoff day and the current hour with the last cutoff hour as follows:
if (CurrentHour IS EQUAL TO ConfiguredCutoffHour)
BEGIN
if ( (CurrentDay IS NOT EQUAL TO LastCutoffDay)
OR (CurrentHour IS GREATER THAN LastCutoffHour))
BEGIN
RunCutoff()

Processing
The processing performed for an additive configured for the "Control" (additive panel) injection
method is described below.
# Computes the volume of additive per 1000 of product based on the configured "additive per
1000" (for the "External", "Prompt", "Inputs" and "Recipe" selection methods) or the
configured "ratio volume", "additive per 1000" and "Comp 4 % or ratio volume" (for the
"Multi Rate" selection method).
# Compute the adjusted (for clean line start, etc.) additive ratio volume.
When, during delivery of the batch, the additive control volume, i.e. the volume of product through
the configured additive control meters, reaches "inject %" of the adjusted additive ratio volume, the
DanLoad 6000...
# Computes the number of pulses required to close the additive valve on the previous ratio
cycle. (Only one additive valve closure number of pulses is used.)
# Computes the number of pulses required during the current ratio cycle to maintain the ideal
additive batch volume.
# Energizes the additive ratio output, allowing additive to flow, and counts pulses from the
additive meter.
When the number of pulses from the additive meter equals the number of pulses required during the
current ratio cycle minus the number of pulses required to close the additive valve on the previous
ratio cycle, the DanLoad 6000 deenergizes the additive ratio output and continues to count pulse
from the additive meter.
Additive volume computation and "additive per 1000 verification" (as for all injection methods) is
synchronized with the "per meter" volume computations.

The DanLoad 6000's additive meter calibration screen provides a simple, step-by-step procedure for
computing an additive meter's K-factor using a beaker graduated in cubic centimeters (cm3 or cc).
Milliliters (ml) are equivalent units. Typically, product line pressure, i.e. downstream of the additive
meter, should be simulated using a back pressure valve as required per additive panel manufacturer
specifications (typically 35 psi) in order to establish an accurate K-factor for normal loading
conditions.
Prior to using the additive meter calibration screen, the following parameters should be configured:
# Product units (program code 029) to allow the DanLoad 6000 to compute the metered
additive volume in cm3 from the additive meter K-factor
# additive meter K-factor, e.g. the value printed on the additive meter
The additive meter calibration screen is accessed by selecting "Additive calibration" from the
program mode menu. (A supervisor-privileged passcode is required.)

The DanLoad 6000 prompts for an additive number. The operator should enter a valid additive
number, i.e. greater than or equal to 1, less than or equal to the configured number of additives
(program code 135) and with injection method "Meter" or "Control". If an invalid additive number
is entered the DanLoad 6000 displays "Invalid entry".
When a valid additive number has been entered, the DanLoad 6000 displays the current additive
meter K-factor (from Setup), zeros the metered additive volume ("Vol (meter)"), disables the
additive's usual counters (which disables the additive unauthorized flow alarm), energizes the
additive's pump and block valve outputs (if configured) and prompts "Press START to inject or
STOP to finish", e.g.

Vol (prover) cc
If the operator presses the "START" key, the DanLoad 6000 displays “Please Wait” (blinking once
every second) for the configured additive calibration delay (program code 720) which allows the
operator to move from the preset to the additive injector, if necessary. During this delay time, the
“STOP” key can be pressed to abort the delay and cancel the additive injection. Once the delay time
has elapsed, the DanLoad displays “Injecting - press stop to cancel”, performs the configured number
of additive injection cycles (program code 661) as described below, and updates the metered additive
volume at the end of each additive injection cycle. The metered additive volume is always computed
as cm3 based on the additive meter's K-factor and the configured product units (program code 29).
The processing of an injection cycle depends on the additive's injection method. If the additive's
injection method is "Meter", the DanLoad 6000 performs an additive injection cycle as follows:
# waits for the additive meter pulse frequency to fall to zero, i.e. no pulses in one second, or
5 seconds to pass.
# deenergizes the additive's ratio output and waits for the additive meter pulse frequency to fall
to zero (some fixed volume injectors inject on both strokes) or 5 seconds to pass.
If the additives's injection method is "Control", the DanLoad 6000 performs an additive injection
cycle as follows:
# computes the required number of pulses for one injection cycle based on the additive's ratio
volume, K-factor and additive per 1000.
# waits until the required number of pulses for one injection cycle have been counted.
When sufficient injection cycles have been the completed (the total volume of additive required
usually depends on Weights and Measures and/or company operating procedures), the operator
should press the "STOP" key. The DanLoad 6000 prompts for the prover additive volume, i.e. the
volume of additive measured in the graduated beaker, in cm3.

If the operator enters a non-zero prover additive volume, the DanLoad 6000 computes, stores in
Setup and displays the new additive meter K-factor:
The new K-factor computation can be bypassed by entering zero (or simply presses the "ENTER"
key) when prompted for the prover additive volume.
The DanLoad 6000 deenergizes the additive's pump and block valve outputs (if configured), and
prompts for an additive number so that the additive meter calibration process can be repeated for the
same or another additive. The information from the last run are displayed until a further additive
number is entered.
This paper describes the multi stream additive injection mode of the DanLoad 6000 Preset and
addresses the following points :
# Theory of Operation
# Accuracy
# Advantages
# Theory of Operation
# General - The DanLoad 6000 Electronic Preset & Batch Controller can provide
direct control of up to 6 additive streams plus a clean line flush stream via a multi
stream additive panel. This functionality is available in firmware version 5.11 or
above. It eliminates the need for “smart” microprocessor based additive injectors,
thus providing the end user with an economical solution for load rack automation
requiring additive injection of 1 or multiple additives.
There are 2 basic designs of a multi stream injection panel. Both designs use just
one additive meter. The difference in design is :
# Type 1 - one has 1 additive on/off control valve with a block valve for each
additive stream and the flush stream
# Type 2 - the other design has 1 additive on/off control valve for each additive
stream and the flush stream and no block valves.
The main characteristic of a multi stream additive panel is the use of just one additive
meter for two or more additive streams. In addition to being able to control, measure,
and verify the additive process, the DanLoad 6000 Preset is able to properly account
for each specific additive stream as well as the flush stream through the one additive
meter. All of this is accomplished with the simple addition of 1 or 2 discrete I/O
cards to the multi slot card cage of the DanLoad 6000.
# Required I/O - The Multi Stream Injection Mode requires 1 high speed DC discrete
input for the additive meter input, 1 to 7 additive ratio outputs (typically AC discrete
output) to operate the additive on/off control valves, 1 to 6 AC discrete outputs for
each additive block valve , and 1 AC discrete output for the clean line flush block
valve if required. In addition to these I/O, the DanLoad must also have the necessary
I/O required for product loading (ie..control valve outputs, product pump output,
additive pump outputs, meter input, RTD temperature input). The DanLoad has a
discrete I/O capacity of 24 inputs and 28 outputs.
When the DanLoad sees two or more additive meters (PC # 381..396) configured as
the same input, it automatically assumes the multi stream injection mode of
operation and properly accounts for each additive according to the additive selected.
Therefore, the multi stream injection mode must have 2 or more additives configured.
Also, use of the multi stream injection mode precludes the use of the other injection
modes available with the DanLoad.
# Flush Pump Output - A flush pump might be required to insure enough pressure for
the clean line flush to inject into the main product stream. There are two options for
operating a pump dedicated to the flushing operation. Option 1 is to wire the flush
pump in parallel with the Additive Clean Line Output (PC # 398). This runs the
pump during the flush mode only. Option 2 is to wire the flush pump to Trip Output
#3 (PC # 317) which runs the pump for the entire batch.
# Operation - When the START button is pressed to begin a batch, the DanLoad will
check to see if an additive is selected. Only one additive can be selected at a time for
the multi stream injection mode of operation. If more than one additive is selected,
the DanLoad displays “additive failure” for each selected additive and does not allow
the batch to start. Depending on the type of design of the injection panel, the control
is as follows :
# Type 1 (Panel w/ block valves and 1 additive on/off control valve) - The DanLoad
will control the additive injection by first energizing the appropriate additive block
valve output and pulsing the additive on/off control valve solenoid. As the end of the
batch is reached and if clean line flush is configured, the DanLoad concludes the
additive injection (reference clean line volume PC #138) and deenergizes the additive
block valve and the additive on/off control valve solenoids (ie..closes the valves).
Then the flush block valve output (PC # 398 - Additive Clean Line Output) will be
energized along with the flush output (PC # 399 - which is wired to the additive
on/off control valve) to allow the flushing operation. If configured, the DanLoad will
check the clean line pulses (PC # 425) at the end of the batch to verify the clean line
flushing operation took place and alarm if necessary.
# Type 2 (Panel w/ 2 or more additive on/off control valves and no block valves) -
The DanLoad will control the additive injection by pulsing the appropriate additive
on/off control valve solenoid. As the end of the batch is reached and if clean line
flush is configured, the DanLoad concludes additive injection (reference clean line
volume PC #138) by deenergizing the additive on/off control valve. Then the flush
block valve output (PC # 398 - Additive Clean Line Output) will be energized along
with the flush output (PC # 399 - which is wired to the additive on/off control valve)
to allow the flushing operation. If configured, the DanLoad will check the clean line
pulses (PC # 425) at the end of the batch to verify the clean line flushing operation
took place and alarm if necessary.
# Flush Pulses Alarm - At the end of a batch, if the DanLoad records fewer clean line
flush pulses than the configured clean line flush pulses (PC # 425), the DanLoad will
raise an internal alarm and display the message that has been configured for safety
circuit #3 (PC # 254). To disable the Flush Pulses alarm, set the minimum pulses
to 0. The DanLoad will record the actual number of clean line pulses at the end of
each batch but will reset this register at the start of each batch. The flush pulses
counter can be displayed on the Dynamic Data Display via data code # 223 on
firmware versions 5.11 or above.
# Accuracy
The DanLoad 6000 is able to measure the injected additive with tremendous accuracy via a high
resolution additive meter. At each step of the process the DanLoad constantly reads measured
additive and adjusts the control cycle accordingly.
# Example : Based on an additive meter with a K-factor of 2600 PPG and a ratio of
0.4 gallons of additive per 1000 US gallons of product (400 ppm), there will be 25
injections of additive. Each injection will be 0.016 gallons (41.6 pulses per injection)
for a total of 1040 pulses for the batch. At the completion of the batch, the DanLoad
will typically be within ±1 pulse of the additive batch volume. This one pulse is
equal to 0.000385 gallons.
# Advantages of Using DL6000 with Multi Stream Injection Mode vs. DL6000 with
“Smart” Injectors
In addition to cost savings, below are several advantages for using the DanLoad 6000 to directly
control a multi stream additive injector panel.
# System installation is simplified and installation costs reduced due to less hardwiring
requirements. An example is the elimination of the communication cable between
the automation system and injector.
# System operation is simplified. The DanLoad 6000 directly controls the flow of
product and additives and corrects for over or under injection. Configuration,
calibration, alarm processing, diagnostics, etc. all take place at the DanLoad 6000.
Some possible causes of alarms due to interfacing automation systems and/or presets
to “smart” injectors are eliminated.
# Provides gross and net running product totalizers and additive running totalizers
allowing for product and additive inventory management.
# Provides multiple injection rates per additive stream via the DanLoad’s “Multi Rate”
additive selection method (ie..five rates for each of six additive streams).
# Overall electronic preset and additive injector cost is reduced because of savings
from not buying a “smart” injector.
The DanLoad 6000, using multiple recipies, has the capability of controlling multiple injection rates
through a single additive injector. Typically, multiple additive injectors are required when different
rates are needed when using the same additive. The DanLoad allows the user the capability of
purchasing a minimum of 1 additive injector for a bay when the same additive with multiple rates
are used in multiple recipies. Naturally, the DanLoad will support multiple injectors that require
different rates when multiple additives are required.
5. If another additive ratio is required, then use the calculation in steps 2 and 3 and enter the
value into PC 491 (Component 4 % or ratio quantity for recipe 2).
5. If another additive ratio is required, then use the calculation in steps 2 and 3 and enter the
value into PC 491 (Component 4 % or ratio quantity for recipe 2).
In both examples above the DanLoad 6000 also computes the volume/pulse which is also known as
1 additive unit. This additive unit is used in additive error checking. If the delivered additive falls
outside of PC 278 (Additive/1000 error limit) and has also exceeded the parameters of PC 272 and
PC 273 (low and high % of the ideal quantity at any point in a batch) the DanLoad 6000 will
terminate loading and display an “Additive x failure” message, where x is the additive injector that
failed.
Data for multiple transactions composed of one or more batch deliveries is stored in non-volatile
memory. Storage of transaction and batch delivery data is configured and enabled by program codes
834 through 837 and 840 through 901. Transaction storage MUST BE enabled and defined if either
one or both of the following two cases exist.
# Case 1 A user defined Transaction Ticket will be printed on a pre-printed form. The print
coordinates of selected variables are defined by program codes 920 through 981.
# Case 2 A host computer (Terminal Automation System) gathers data from the DanLoad
6000 and it is desired to provide backup storage of transaction data in case the host
computer or host computer communications link fails.
*** OR ***
A host computer (Terminal Automation System) polls the DanLoad 6000
at long time intervals, such as once per day. For this type of operation, the
host computer can upload all transaction data from the DanLoad 6000 once
per day and then the transaction storage memory can be cleared or left intact.
If the transaction storage memory is cleared, the DanLoad 6000 reads the
data for the next day beginning at transaction record 0000. If the transaction
storage memory is left intact, the DanLoad 6000 reads the data for the next
day beginning at the last read transaction record + 1.
It is not necessary to define the transaction / batch storage program codes 840 through 901 for any
other case.
Text in this section uses standard programming and database terminology. You do not need to
understand programming or database concepts to configure transaction storage. Examples are
provided that relate the unique terminology to how data is placed and viewed on a printed page. If
additional explanation is required, contact Daniel Automation Field Service Department or any
person with computer programming experience.
Section 3.10.1 gives an example of transaction data storage definition and formatting a user defined
transaction ticket. This example provides an overview of the required actions. Detailed information
on the transaction data storage program codes and the user defined transaction ticket program codes
is provided after the example. The procedures for implementing transaction storage and defining
the format of a user defined transaction ticket are described below.
Section 3.10.2 discusses the default ticket formats available with the DanLoad 6000.
Refer to Section 3.10.2 for the available preconfigured Standard Ticket Formats.
For the example, assume that the DanLoad 6000 controls gasoline octane blending (midgrade),
high octane only, and low octane only gasoline loading to tanker vehicles. The example refers to
the Transaction Ticket (Typical), Figure 3 - 13, the Transaction Storage Code Worksheet
(Example), Figure 3 - 14, and the Batch Storage Code Worksheet (Example), Figure 3 - 15.
The Transaction Ticket (Typical) was generated with a word processor program. The bold type
indicates the pre-printed text in the ticket. The regular type indicates data that is obtained from the
transaction storage file and the batch storage file in the DanLoad 6000. The transaction storage file
can only contain data selected from the Transaction Storage Codes (TSC), Table 3 - 4 on page 3-
129, and the batch storage file can only contain data selected from the Batch Storage Codes (BSC),
Table 3 - 5 on page 3-131. If transaction data storage is defined and a user defined transaction ticket
is not required, the print coordinates defined by program codes 920 through 955 and 960 through
982 can be ignored.
Steps performed:
1 Design the ticket format using available data defined by transaction storage codes and batch
storage codes. Design the pre-printed text as desired.
2 Use a scale to measure and then mark the approximate row numbers and column numbers
on the rough draft of the transaction ticket. The printed output from the DanLoad 6000 is
normally 10 characters per inch on each line and 6 rows per inch vertically. The print font
(character style and size) is dependent on the data printer or other external device, such as
a personal computer driving a printer.
3 Circle each printed variable generated by the DanLoad 6000. Near each circled variable,
write the following code to describe the variable.
Type number, row, column, number of bytes stored in transaction or batch record, item
multiplier
# Type number T for TSC, B for BSC and TSC or BSC number
# m [multiplier] The number of flow meters defined (for TSC 23, 24,
25, 26) or the number of components defined (for BSC 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15). The multiplier is 1 for all other TSC's and BSC's.
4 Enter the TSC number, ticket row / column coordinates, and number of memory storage
bytes required for the variable in the Transaction Record / Ticket Worksheet.
5 Start with the top TSC entry and calculate record offsets in the following manner.
(bytes times multiplier) plus offset equals the offset for the following line TSC.
In the example, [# bytes for T11 equals 4 times 1 (assumed multiplier)] plus 1 (offset for
first entry) equals 5 which is entered as the offset for the next line TSC 12.
6 In the Record Length column, manually perform the bytes * m multiplication and write the
product in the column. Sum all of the values or products in this column. The example sum
is 120 bytes storage required in the transaction data storage record. Round this number to
150 bytes to allow for minor re-definition of data later. Enter the value 150 in program code
834 Transaction record length.
7 Enter the BSC number, ticket row / column coordinates, and number of memory storage
bytes required for the variable in the Batch Record / Ticket Worksheet.
8 Start with the top BSC entry and calculate record offsets in the following manner.
(bytes times multiplier) plus offset equals the offset for the following line BSC.
In the example, [# bytes for B2 equals 2 times 1 (assumed multiplier)] plus 1 (offset for
first entry) equals 3 which is entered as the offset for the next line BSC 7.
9 In the Record Length column, manually perform the bytes * M multiplication and write the
product in the column. Sum all of the values or products in this column. The example sum
is 18 bytes storage required in the batch data storage record. Round this number to 30 bytes
to allow for minor re-definition of data later. Enter the value 150 in program code 836 Batch
record length.
Note
Ten memory pages (each page stores 8192 bytes) are allocated to store transaction records
and batch records. Transaction storage pages are allocated by program code 835 Start page
and # pages and batch storage pages are allocated by program code 837 Start page and #
pages. If transaction storage is enabled, at least one page must be assigned for transaction
storage records and at least one page must be assigned for batch storage records. The complete
block of ten pages is identified by numbers 600 through 1510, where the last two digits (00
through 10) identify the number of pages allocated and the 6 through 15 part of the
assignment indicates the start page. (Note: Memory pages 00 through 05 are used internally
by the DanLoad 6000.)
Let's assume that at this tanker vehicle loading facility it is common to load three or four
batch deliveries grouped into individual transactions.
# Let's assume that most transactions are composed of 4 batches. In this case, at each
transaction close, 150 bytes are stored in the transaction file as the transaction record
for the completed transaction nnnn. And 120 bytes are stored in the batch file as
FOUR batch records that make up the completed transaction nnnn.
# Compare the value of the transaction record length and the sum of all batch records
stored for each normal transaction.
1 Divide the smaller value by the larger value. In this example, divide 120 by
150. The result is 0.8.
2 Multiply the result (0.8) by 5. (Note: 5 is the median page count of the 10
pages used to store batch and transaction files.) The result of 0.8 times 5 is
4. If the result is a fraction, round the value up to a whole number. The
value, 4, is the number of pages in either the transaction file or the batch
file. The file is determined by the smaller value (numerator of the division)
that was determined in step 1 above. In this example, 120 (the numerator)
is the sum of the bytes in 4 batches (one transaction) so the number of pages
calculated in this step (4) is assigned to the batch file.
3 Set program code 837 Start page and # pages to 1204 (for batch storage).
This indicates that the start page is 12 and 4 pages (12, 13, 14, 15) are
assigned to the batch file.
4 The remaining 6 pages in the transaction storage group are allocated for
transaction data as follows. Set program code 835 Start page and # pages to
606 (for transaction storage). This indicates that the start page is 6 and 6
pages (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) are allocated to the transaction file.
5 Use the data entered in the Transaction Record / Ticket Worksheet and enter
the transaction data record offsets, beginning at 1, in program codes 840
through 875, as defined.
6 Use the data entered in the Batch Record / Ticket Worksheet and enter the
batch data record offsets, beginning at 1, in program codes 880 through 901,
as defined.
7 [Optional, only if user defined transaction ticket is defined] Use the data
entered in the Transaction Record / Ticket Worksheet and enter the
transaction data print coordinates in program codes 920 through 955, as
defined.
8 [Optional, only if user defined transaction ticket is defined] Use the data
entered in the Batch Record / Ticket Worksheet and enter the batch data
record print coordinates in program codes 960 through 981, as defined.
The data contained in the Transaction Ticket (Typical), Figure 3 - 13, is described below.
Note: The upper area of the ticket contains data obtained from transaction storage codes and
therefore, each defined line is a transaction storage line.
SHIPPER This number (up to eight-digits) is obtained from TSC-11 (Data item 1). This is
the operator entry in response to Prompt #1 (program code 031). Assume that this
prompt has been set to read "Enter shipper I.D. number".
CLIENT This number (up to eight-digits) is obtained from TSC-12 (Data item 2). This is
the operator entry in response to Prompt #2 (program code 032). Assume that this
prompt has been set to read "Enter client I.D. number".
Note: The example Delivery Ticket shows a slash (/) that visually separates the
recipe number and recipe name. This (/) slash is part of the pre-printed text.
In the example, we will assume that any tanker vehicle can only have a maximum of six
compartments and that program code 047 Batches/transaction has been set to 6 to limit each
transaction to no more than six batches. Therefore, we have designed to pre-printed Delivery Ticket
with enough space to print up to six batch records (lines) in this area. If the number of batches per
transaction is not limited by setup (program code 047) or by strict operating procedures, the
number of batch records printed could over-print the lower area of the pre-printed Delivery Ticket.
SEQ # The batch sequence number is obtained from BSC-2 (Batch sequence number). All batches
that are part of one transaction will have sequential numbers in the range of 0 to 9999. The
batch sequence number is readable by program code 043 Batch number.
PRESET The batch preset quantity obtained from BSC-7. This quantity was entered by the
local operator when the batch delivery operation was setup.
Note: The data obtained from batch storage codes ends here. The remaining lower area of the
Transaction Ticket contains only data obtained from transaction storage codes and therefore
each defined line is a transaction storage line.
ALARMS Report space is allocated for up to two primary alarms that occur during the
transaction. The alarm messages are obtained from TSC-28 (Primary alarm during
transaction) and TSC-29 (Primary alarm during transaction). The alarm messages
that can be printed are defined by various program codes in the alarms group program
codes 220 to 275. Only Primary alarms are printed by TSC-28 and TSC-29. Two
transaction storage codes are accessible to provide printing capability of up to two
primary alarms that occur during a transaction.
BitMap The alarm bitmap is obtained from TSC-27 [Primary alarms during transaction
(bitmap)]. Note: Most organizations will probably not print the bitmap field on a
pre-printed report. However, the alarm bitmap does provide an historical record
of primary alarms that occur during transaction processing. The alarms bitmap
usually has limited utility in a stand alone system because 1) occurrence of primary
alarms indicates a hardware or operational problem that should be corrected
immediately, and 2) interpretation of an alarms bitmap requires an understanding
of the binary and hexadecimal numbering schemes. Section 3.10.6 contains
information on interpreting the alarm bitmap.

Three default ticket formats are preconfigured in the DanLoad. Refer to program code 838 for a
complete description of the Transaction Ticket Format. The basic formats are:
See Figure 3-16 on the following page for an example of these formats.
Note: The first line under each format heading (numbers 1-8) and the very next line are used to
indicate the column number (1-80) of the preconfigured ticket format. Transaction storage
codes are in plain type. Batch storage codes are underlined. Field widths are indicated by
dots to the right of the storage codes, even though the values may be right-justified within
the fields.

The remaining sub-sections in the 3.10.x series contain detailed information on transaction data
storage and user defined transaction tickets.
Transaction / batch data storage parameters are defined by program codes 834 to 838, 840 to 875,
and 880 to 901. The function of these codes is independent from transaction ticket printing related
program codes. However, if user defined transaction / batch tickets are printed, an interrelation
between the different groups of program codes MUST BE established. Part of this interrelation
between program codes is performed manually at setup time and part is established automatically
internally by the DanLoad 6000. Program codes 920 to 981 specify the format of the printed tickets.
In addition, program codes 706, 707, and 709 control the actual printing and sequence numbering
of transaction tickets.
All other program codes implemented in the DanLoad 6000, except those listed in the previous
paragraph, are related to process monitor / control and manner of operation of the DanLoad 6000.
However, the transaction / batch storage codes and ticket printer control codes implement
programming / database methods.
Definitions
Byte The term byte refers to a small space (8 binary bits) in computer memory used to
store one alpha (letter, number, or special) character used as text only or two
numeric (number) characters.
Database All of the static (unchanging) and dynamic (changing) data stored in the DanLoad
6000.
File In this case, the transaction file and the batch file are database tables. Each file is
a block of non-volatile (battery backed) memory that stores batch and transaction
data in logical groups. The file (table) contains groups of similar type data that
make up part of the database. The groups of data in the file are divided into columns
and rows similar to data entered on paper. The columns are called fields and the
rows are called records. The batch and transaction files are separate random access
(any data variable can be located with a pointer to (address of) the variable) files.
See Record definition below.
Field A vertical column that contains similar type data. Each field contains one or more
alpha-numeric characters. The Transaction and Batch File Organization table below
indicates the field and record organization of both transaction and batch files. The
field contents of a transaction record are defined by program codes 840 to 875. And
the field contents of a batch record are defined by program codes 880 to 901. The
transaction storage setup process allows the user to define multiple data items that
are grouped as sub-fields in the User Defined field of the Batch Record and the
Transaction Record.
Record A row (horizontal string of alpha-numeric characters) that contains various types of
data, divided into fields. Each of the up to ten-thousand batch records and up to ten-
thousand transaction records contains information on one completed batch loading
(in the batch file) or one completed transaction (in the transaction file). The length
of each record in the transaction file is set to a fixed number of bytes by program
code 834 Transaction record length. The length of each record in the batch file is
set to a fixed number of bytes by program code 836 Batch record length. Note: The
process of defining the contents of the user defined field of a batch record or
transaction record define a template of the record contents. The actual alpha-numeric
contents of each record is written into each record during or after a batch loading or
transaction operation.
Record Header
[Note: In the table below, all fields (columns) except the User Defined field
(column) are part of the record header.] Record header fields in each record contain
information that is maintained and used internally by the DanLoad 6000. This
information enables the DanLoad 6000 to know where to find each record and what
data is contained in each record. The records are located by index numbers which are
similar to page numbers in the index of a book. The record header fields for both
transaction records and batch records are shown in the following table Transaction
and Batch File Organization. The record header fields are maintained internally by
the DanLoad 6000.
The table below shows the relationship between the data stored each transaction
record (and file) and the separate data stored in each batch record (and file). Note
that the transaction and batch records are stored in separate batch and transaction
files. The table shows one transaction record (top) and one batch record (bottom)
together for field comparison only.
Notes:
# The transaction and batch file keys are not stored in their respective records. The DanLoad
6000 maintains these index numbers internally.
# <yes> indicates that this field is stored in the corresponding record type.
<blank> indicates that the field is not applicable to the corresponding record type.
The Batch Sequence Number is a sequential number between 0000 and 9999 that is
maintained internally by the batch record counter in the DanLoad 6000. This number is not
stored in any record field. However, because all batch deliveries and therefore batch
numbers are sequential, the DanLoad 6000 can locate any batch record by setting the batch
record counter.
The Transaction Sequence Number is a sequential number between 0000 and 9999 that is
maintained internally by the transaction record counter in the DanLoad 6000. This number
is not stored in transaction records. However, the current Transaction Sequence Number is
stored in the record header of each batch record. Because all transactions and therefore
transaction numbers are sequential, the DanLoad 6000 can locate any transaction record by
setting the transaction record counter. The Transaction Record Number stored in the batch
record header is used to group multiple batches into one transaction.
The Start Batch Number is a number between 0000 and 9999 that is saved in a transaction
record when the first batch delivery of the transaction is started. This number is stored in the
transaction record header. This number, in conjunction with the Number of batches in
Transaction number is used to group one or more batch deliveries into one transaction.
The Number of Batches in Transaction is a number between 0001 and 9999 that is saved in
a transaction record after the transaction is terminated. This number is stored in the
transaction record. This number, in conjunction with the Start Batch Number is used to
group one or more batch deliveries into one transaction.
The Operating mode is a number obtained from the state of program code 025 Operating
mode at the start of the current transaction. The possible Operating Modes are listed below.
0 Auto
1 Manual
2 Stand-alone
The Status is a number that identifies the current state of each record. The possible states are
listed below.
[Note: The User Defined field contains multiple data items (sub-fields) that are defined at
setup time.] The complete User Defined field can be from 0 to 250 bytes in length. The
length of this field is set to a fixed value (record length) for all transaction records by
program code 834 Transaction record length and is independently set to a fixed value
(record length) for all batch records by program code 836 Batch record length. Selected
data is placed in sub-fields of this field at setup time by program codes 840 through 875 for
transaction records and program codes 880 through 901 for batch records. Data is selected
by Transaction Storage Codes (TSC) for transaction records (file) and Batch Storage
Codes (BSC) for batch records (file). The two tables Transaction Storage Codes and Batch
Storage Codes contain information on the selectable data definitions.
During setup of transaction storage codes, the following two rules must be observed or the
data will not be stored.
# Each data variable cannot overlay another data variable in storage. Data variables
must be placed end to end with no overlap.
# Any data variable cannot extend past the last byte of the record as defined by
program code 834 for transaction records or program code 836 for batch records.
The following example of the User Defined portion of a batch record illustrates application
of these rules. Assume that program code 836 is set to 50 (batch record length is fixed at
50 bytes).
1 2 3 4 5
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 < OFFSET
aabbttTTPPPPcccccccccccccccc < good record
PPPP < bad record
The OFFSET is the position in the 50-byte record length set by program code 836. If
program code 836 where set to 0, no memory space is allotted and no data is stored. Data
storage is enabled by setting program code 836 to any value between 1 and 250. Very small
values in this variable are not meaningful because of the limitation of data variable storage.
Example of good record shows the following assigned data storage.
A transaction consists of one or more batch deliveries of a single recipe and additive selection
combination. Process data for transactions is stored by the DanLoad 6000 and can be accessible,
depending on the configuration of several program codes.
The following tables contain information on Transaction Storage Codes (TSC) and Batch Storage
Codes (BSC). A description of the data in the tables follows the tables.
11 Data item 1 850 930 start trns 4/nnnnnnnn entry for PC 031
12 Data item 2 851 931 start trns 4/nnnnnnnn entry for PC 032

This column contains the identification number and text displayed when the Record Offset
Program Code is addressed.
This column contains the program code that defines the byte offset (1 to 250) within the
user defined area of each transaction or batch record.
This column contains the program code that defines the row and column coordinates to print
the data on a user defined transaction ticket. This function is described below in the User
Defined Transaction Ticket section.
This column contains the time, in the transaction time sequence, when the data variable is
saved.
6 End batch Preset quantity has been delivered [return to step 3 if multiple batch loads are
[end batch] grouped in this transaction]
OR
Press STOP/PRINT push-button [restart batch load (go to step 4) if allowed or
return to step 3 if multiple batch loads are grouped in this transaction]
Sequence Steps 3 through 6 are repeated for multiple batch loads that are grouped into one
transaction.
# bytes/format
This column contains the number of bytes required to store the data variable in the
transaction or batch record and the format of the data printed on a User Defined Transaction
Ticket. Note that alpha-numeric data, such as the Recipe name and Prompt # is stored in a
standard ASCII string without NULL terminator (00 byte). Numeric data is stored in packed
binary (two decimal digits per byte). Fixed format characters, such as decimal points and
date/time field separators, are not stored but are maintained internally by the DanLoad 6000.
Several data values are stored and can be printed in groups that are dependent on the number
of flow meters or number of components defined by the system setup. Examples are:
Four bytes in printable format nnnnnnnn times the number of flow meters defined. Each
field is printed on one line with one space between each field.
Four bytes, each in printable format nnnnnn, times the number of components defined.
Each field is printed on one line with one space between each field.
Reference
This column contains an addressable program code (PC nnn), data code (DC nnn), or other
readable point, such as DUART address from address selection switches on DUART, for
reading the variable. This reference is not the source of the data variable. But, the reference
refers to an addressable point where the variable can be read.
Three batch storage codes and transaction storage codes reference identical data as indicated in the
following table.
A storage variable can only be defined one time in a batch storage record or a transaction storage
record. In addition, any one variable can only be assigned one set of print coordinates for a user
defined Transaction Ticket. Therefore, all batch and transaction variables, with the exception of
the three variables listed above, can only appear once on a Transaction Ticket.
Batch storage codes are related to other batch storage codes in the following manner.
4 Temp Average of BSC 12 Comp temp for all defined com ponents in the
batch.
5 Pres Average of BSC 14 Comp pres for all defined com ponents in the
batch.
6 Dens Average of BSC 13 Comp den for all defined com ponents in the
batch.
8 Gross Sum of BSC 10 Comp gross for all defined com ponents in the batch.
9 Std Sum of BSC 11 Comp std for all defined com ponents in the batch.
3.11.5 Relation Between Transaction Storage Codes / Batch Storage Codes / Program
Codes
Transaction storage codes are related to other transaction storage codes and batch storage codes in
the following manner.
6 Prompt 1 Program code 031 <prompt #1> text for which the operator entered
response is 11 Data item 1 during transaction setup.
6 Prompt 2 Program code 032 <prompt #2> text for which the operator entered
response is 12 Data item 2 during transaction setup.
7 Prompt 3 Program code 033 <prompt #3> text for which the operator entered
response is 13 Data item 3 during transaction setup.
8 Prompt 4 Program code 034 <prompt #4> text for which the operator entered
response is 14 Data item 4 during transaction setup.
9 Prompt 5 Program code 035 <prom pt #5> text for which the operator entered
response is 15 Data item 5 during transaction setup.
18 Gross Sum of 25 End gross m inus 23 Start gross for each defined flow
m eter. (Sum of BSC 8 Gross for all batches in the transaction.)
19 Std Sum of 26 End std m inus 24 Start std for each defined flow m eter.
(Sum of BSC 9 Std for all batches in the transaction.)
The following table describes the relationship between the quantity total accounting for batches and
transactions.
BSC 8 Gross is the sum of all defined BSC 10 Comp gross quantities in the batch.
BSC 9 Std is the sum of all defined BSC 11 Comp standard quantities in the batch.
TSC 18 Gross is the sum of all defined TSC 25 End gross m inus TSC 23 Start gross m eter
quantities in the transaction. This value is equal to the sum of all BSC 8 Gross quantity
accum ulations for the transaction.
TSC 19 Std is the sum of all defined TSC 26 End std m inus TSC 24 Start std m eter quantities
in the transaction. This value is equal to the sum of all BSC 9 Standard quantity accum ulations
for the transaction.
Batch and transaction quantity accumulations are for deliveries of one recipe which is: single
component quantity without additives, single component quantity with additives, blend quantity
without additives, or blend quantity with additives.
Components are permanently assigned to flow meters by program codes 067, 070, 073, and 076.
The component assignment in the table above is an example only. The example shows that any
component can be assigned to any flow meter. The table shows that batch quantities are accumulated
per component and the sum of all component quantity accumulations is added to obtain the total
batch quantity accumulations (BSC 8 Gross and BSC 9 Std). The table also shows that transaction
quantities are accumulated per flow meter and the sum of all flow meter accumulations is added to
obtain the total transaction quantity accumulations (TSC 18 Gross and TSC 19 Std). The method
of quantity accumulation allows access to both component quantities, for batches, and flow meter
quantities, for transactions, for user defined Transaction Tickets and terminal automation systems.
It is obvious that the only quantity accounting device in any tanker vehicle loading installation is the
flow meter. The quantity accounting per component is performed by the DanLoad 6000 control
program.
As explained later in the Transaction Ticket Configuration section, the component to flow meter
assignments determine the print format for multiple components [batch data (BSC 10 / 11 / 12 /
13 / 14 / 15)] and flow meters [transaction data (TSC 23 / 24 / 25 / 26)]. Therefore, if the listing
order of multiple batch quantity totals must match the listing order of transaction totals, overall
system design and setup can be important for user defined Transaction Tickets.
Selected transaction / batch data can be printed on a pre-printed form. The form can be used as a
loading ticket or transaction report. This section contains information on configuration of a user
defined transaction ticket. An example transaction ticket, Figure 3 - 13, is used to illustrate the
example. The bold text signifies the pre-printed part of the form. The regular text signifies the data
variables obtained from transaction storage codes or batch storage codes.
User configurable transaction tickets can be printed on personal computer style data printers. Or the
tickets can be transmitted to, and archived in, a personal computer or similar processing device.
User configurable transaction tickets are completely independent from the standard format Batch
Summaries and Transaction Summaries. Therefore, user definable transaction tickets can be printed
regardless of the print status of Batch Summaries and Transaction Summaries. Data Logging
Section 4.4.1 contains information on Batch Summaries and Transaction Summaries.
The reason for the user defined transaction tickets capability is to permit batch and transaction
loading data to be printed on a pre-printed loading ticket (transaction Bill of Lading). The process
of defining the format of the printed transaction ticket is easy. However, some planning is required
to insure that the ticket layout is as desired and that the ticket contains the required data.
Although printing user defined data on an existing pre-printed ticket form is certainly possible, it
is usually easier to plan the layout of the required printed data from the DanLoad 6000 and then
design the pre-printed form to fit the printed data format. The data from the DanLoad 6000 is
obtained from transaction storage codes (TSC) that have been defined for the transaction storage
record and batch storage codes (BSC) that have been defined for the batch storage record. A word
processor program for a personal computer can generate an example form similar to the example
Transaction Ticket, Figure 3 - 13. Otherwise, the form can be designed with paper and pencil.
Remember that multiple batch data in one transaction prints on consecutive lines. Quantity data
from transaction storage codes 23 / 24 / 25 / 26 prints variable length lines dependent on the number
of flow meters defined. And data from batch storage codes 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 prints variable
length lines dependent on the number of components defined.
The DanLoad 6000 outputs standard ASCII characters to the printer. The printer determines the
appearance (font) of the printed data. Virtually all personal computer style printers default to
Courier 10 font. These characters are printed 10 cpi (characters per inch) and 6 lines per inch.
Most printers allow manual selection of Courier 12 font which prints characters at 12 cpi and 8 lines
per inch. Fonts smaller than Courier 12 are usually not suitable for this type of report.
After the required data for the Transaction Ticket has been selected from the transaction storage file
and the batch storage file, the print coordinates should be defined and a test printout generated on
blank paper. Review the test printout. Check for space for the pre-printed areas of the form. Check
for a clear area of approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) along the left margin to allow for holes and
storage in a ring binder. Adjust the print coordinates of data items as required so that the data and
spacing appears correct on the paper. After adjustments have been made, manually enter the data
to be pre-printed with a color pen. You may need to consult with a print shop at this time to
determine if the space allotted for the pre-printed area of the form is sufficient for the desired pre-
printed text.
The format of a Transaction Ticket is very flexible. However, the following rules are applicable to
format design.
# Any transaction line (row) of the Transaction Ticket can only contain transaction data. In
other words, if a line of the Transaction Ticket contains a variable assigned by transaction
storage codes 840 through 875, then any other variable displayed on that line must also be
assigned by transaction storage codes 840 through 875.
# Any batch line (row) of the Transaction Ticket can only contain batch data. In other words,
if a line of the Transaction Ticket contains a variable assigned by batch storage codes 880
through 901, then any other variable displayed on that line must also be assigned by batch
storage codes 880 through 901.
# Transaction storage codes 23 / 24 / 25 / 26 assign quantity data storage space in memory for
flow meter quantities in the following format.
The quantity values for each configured flow meter are stored in sequence and will be printed
in this sequence if any of these four transaction storage codes is assigned print coordinates
on the Transaction Ticket. The values are right justified with leading zeros suppressed. A
minimum of one horizontal space is open between each accumulator value, dependent on
the number of digits in the value.
The values for each configured component and variable type are stored in sequence and will
be printed in this sequence if any of these four transaction storage codes is assigned print
coordinates on the Transaction Ticket. The values are right justified with leading zeros
suppressed. A minimum of one horizontal space is open between each accumulator value,
dependent on the number of digits in the value.
During planning of the Transaction Ticket, we need to know a few things about the configuration
of the DanLoad 6000 in order to design a Transaction Ticket properly. The following program codes
have either direct or indirect effect on the data can be printed on the Transaction Ticket.
The alarm bitmap is normally not printed on transaction tickets. However, comparison of alarm
activity for several loading operations can be a useful diagnostic tool.
For the following description we presuppose that the reader does not have programming experience
but does have some knowledge of number base systems. The common base 10 number system uses
digits 0 through 9 to indicate the value of each digit position. The position decimal weight increases
by 1 power of 10 for each position change in the leftward direction from the decimal point. The
DanLoad 6000, like all digital computers, uses the base 2 number system which uses digits 0 and
1 to indicate the value of each position. The position binary weight increases by 1 power of 2 for
each position change in the leftward direction from the binary point. A third number base system,
the base 16 (hexadecimal) number system is used solely to make the binary (base 2) number
system more readable and manageable for people. The hexadecimal number system uses digits 0
to 9, a, b, c, d, e, f. The a through f digits are symbols that are place holders for decimal digits
10 through 15. The symbols serve only as single character place holders to represent possible
numbers in the number system. The bitmap as the name implies is binary based. Each bit stands for
one unique alarm. Each bit can be 0 (no alarm occurred) or 1 (alarm occurred). The bitmap is
transmitted and read as hexadecimal for ease of use by people. The relation between internal storage
of the bitmap and representation is presented below.
Note: The bit is set TRUE if the corresponding alarm occurs during the transaction. The
combination of TRUE alarms determines the character printed.
The alarm bitmap is described on the following pages. The Alarm BitMap for Position:
000000000000000000000 table indicates the character position and the bit weight within each
character that is set TRUE when the alarm was active during the transaction. The alarm bitmap is
stored, by assignment of TSC 27, as 10 bytes with two-digits in each byte. Each character position
contains indicators (bits) for 4 alarms. Since each alarm is independent from other alarms, the
occurrence of no alarm or any combination of from 1 to 4 alarms assigned to each character position
will determine what character is printed in each position of the bitmap. The characters that can be
printed in each character position are 0 through 9, a, b, c, d, e, f. This is the hexadecimal
numbering system. The bitmap is read from right to left for both character position and bit position.
Example: 2 1
Read the printed bitmap with the aid of the following tables.
# The leftward 4 character positions (17 through 20) are always zeros because alarms are not
assigned to these positions.
# Any non-zero character printed indicates that an alarm occurred during the transaction.
Determine the character position, the rightward character is 1 the leftward character is 20.
# Find the corresponding Character Position in the Alarm BitMap for Positions:
00000000000000000000 table below.
# Use the BitMap Character / Bit Weight Translation table to determine which bits were set
TRUE.
# If the printed character is f, then all four of the alarms assigned to that character
position were set TRUE.

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
In the manual operating mode, the authorized [batch] quantity can be determined automatically based
on the state of up to four discrete inputs, each one corresponding to a possible tank or compartment
size, known as "compartment size inputs". With compartment size inputs configured (program code
341), it is often only necessary for the operator to select the compartment size via a multi-way
selector switch and press the "ENTER" and "START" keys, or even just the "START" key (see "start
method", program code 342). The same functionality can be achieved quite easily in the automatic
operating mode via automation system programming, and is simplified by the fact that the states of
the safety circuit inputs are included in the response to the Request Status (12h) command. Refer
to the DanLoad 6000 Comm Spec.
In order to authorize a batch, one compartment size input, indicating the actual compartment size,
should be closed prior to entering a preset quantity or simply pressing the "ENTER" key. If the
"ENTER" key is pressed without having keyed-in a preset quantity, the authorized quantity entered
is the compartment size. If a preset quantity is keyed-in prior to pressing the "ENTER" key, the
authorized quantity entered is the minimum of the compartment size and the keyed-in preset
quantity, i.e:
Authorized qty = min(Compartment size per closed inputs or User-entered preset qty (if any))
Note the "if any" condition on the user-entered preset quantity; if a preset quantity is not keyed-in,
the compartment size corresponding to the lowest-numbered compartment size input that is closed
is used. For this reason, compartment sizes should be configured (see recipe 28, program codes 644
to 647) from smallest to largest in ascending order. If none of the compartment size inputs is closed,
it is not possible to authorize a batch even if a preset quantity is keyed-in, i.e. it is necessary to select
the compartment size even if a preset quantity is to be keyed-in.
The number of compartment size inputs (program code 341) can be configured (0 to 4). Zero means
that compartment size inputs are not being used. Safety circuits 4 thru 8 inputs serve double as
compartment size inputs. If one or more of them is used as a compartment size input, the
corresponding safety circuit cannot be used and its alarm action (program codes 257, 259, 261, 263)
should be set to "Off". The compartment sizes are configured via recipe 28's component
percentages. Program codes 349/350/351/352 are used to define the physical discrete compartment
size input and program codes 644/645/646/647 are used to define the physical compartment size in
product units for the associated input. The actual compartment size value is calculated by the
DanLoad as the value, entered in program codes 644/645/646/647, times 100. The maximum preset
quantity (program code 078) should not be smaller than the largest configured compartment size.
If compartment size inputs are used, the number of recipes (program code 480) must not exceed 26.
If compartment size inputs are used, additional pre-authorization verification of the compartment
size/preset quantity (in the manual operating mode) and verification of the loaded quantity while a
batch is in progress (in any operating mode) can be enabled via the level input (program code 374)
and the hatch input (program code 375). The processing associated with the level input was
developed for a specific user, and as such may not provide as much flexibility as you would normally
expect from the DanLoad 6000; care should be taken to understand the processing fully before
deciding to use this capability. Refer to the relevant program codes (374, 375 and 650 thru 653) for
more information.
The DanLoad 6000 runs a cutoff (end of day processing) every 24 hours based on the configured
cutoff hour (program code 710). When the time (hour) is equal to the configured cutoff hour, the
DanLoad 6000...
# Waits for any batch is progress to end. (Note: A DanLoad 6000 transaction may span two
cutoff periods.)
# Saves the previous cutoff data, i.e. cutoff date and time, previous cutoff date and time, meter,
component and recipe gross and standard running totalizers and additive running totalizers.
# Prints the totalizer data log if it is enabled (program code 705) and the DanLoad 6000 is in
the manual operating mode (program code 25).
# Prints the thruput data log if it is enabled (program code 708) and the DanLoad 6000 is in
the manual operating mode (program code 25).
The totalizer and thruput data logs can be reprinted (if they are enabled and the DanLoad 6000 is in
the manual operating mode) using the "Reprint cutoff" option in the program mode menu. Both data
logs show the date and time at which they were printed as well as the date and time of the cutoff.
The DanLoad 6000 can reprint the totalizer and thruput data logs only for the most recently
completed cutoff, i.e. it does not "archive" cutoff data.
Access to the Set Contrast / Backlighting display is via the Set contrast/backlighting selection of the
Program Mode Menu, Figure 3 - 1. This display provides the method to change the current contrast
and backlighting settings for either the local or remote LCD panel.
Set contrast/backlighting
SELECT display Primary
If only the local display is present, it is preselected and indicated. Use the 8 and 9 arrow keys to
adjust the contrast level. A value of 0 is minimum contrast, a value of 15 is maximum contrast.
Use the ALT+8 and ALT+9 keys to adjust the backlight level. A value of 0 is backlight off, a
value of 7 is maximum backlight intensity.
3.15 CALMON - Turbine Meter Calibration Monitoring for the DanLoad 6000
Electronic Preset
# Configuration
The DanLoad 6000 contains 22 program codes (6 “global” and 4 “per meter”) and 4 data codes (1
per meter) that are associated with Calibration Monitoring. 19 program codes (3 “global” and 4 “per
meter” are in the “Blending” setup group. 3 program codes (all “global”) are in the “Recipe” setup
group and are configured via Recipe 30 comp 1%, comp 2% and comp 3%. Calibration Monitoring
related program and data codes are as follows:
# "753 CALMON error limit" (0 to 255): The number of "bad meter analyses" per
CALMON reset count (program code 754) calibration monitoring analyses above
which a calibration failure alarm is raised for the meter during monitoring. The
default value is 25.
# "754 CALMON reset count" (0 to 9999): The “total analyses”, “good meter
analysis” and “bad meter analyses” counters are zeroed every CALMON reset count”
calibration monitoring analyses during monitoring. A calibration failure alarm is
raised for the meter if there are no "good meter analyses" in "CALMON reset count"
calibration monitoring analyses during monitoring. This is also the number of
attempts to auto-detect the number of blades (if necessary) and acquire a calibration
sample before a calibration failure alarm is raised for the meter during calibration.
The default value is 50.
# 755 Calib fail alarm action": The calibration failure alarm action. The default
value is "Primary". Select one of the following:
# "757/ 762/ 767/ 772 Number of blades" (0 to 50): The number of magnetic blades
(or buttons) on the meter for calibration monitoring purposes. 0 disables calibration
monitoring for the meter. Any other value enabled calibration monitoring for the
meter. 1 indicates that the number of blades should be auto-detected by the "MPMC"
prior to acquiring a calibration sample. The default value is zero, i.e. calibration
monitoring disabled for the meter. In order to use the calibration monitoring feature
it is recommended that this value must be set to 1, if the information on number of
magnetic blades or buttons is not available.
# "758/ 763/ 768/ 773 Max max char dev" (0 to 65535): The maximum characteristic
deviation computed during a calibration monitoring analysis above which a "bad
meter" result may be indicated, i.e. the "bad meter" counter may be incremented. The
default value of 100 detects a 10% blade bent corresponding to an average K-factor
change of 0.3%.
# "759/ 764/ 769/ 774 Max tot char devs" (0 to 65535): The total characteristic
deviation computed during a calibration monitoring analysis above which a "bad
meter" result may be indicated, i.e. the "bad meter" counter may be incremented. The
default value of 400 detects a 10 % blade bent corresponding to an average K-factor
change of 0.3% or multiple bent blades, bent by a smaller magnitude.
# "760/ 765/ 770/ 775 Calibration sample": The current calibration sample status.
This program code can be used to force acquisition of a new calibration sample. The
default value is "Not acquired", i.e. calibration sample not acquired. Select one of
the following:
# "Not acquired". The calibration sample has not been acquired or is invalid.
Calibration sample is requested if the number of blades is greater than 0.
Set this program code to “Not Acquired” to allow the MPMC to acquire or re-acquire
calibration sample.
# "656 Recipe 30, Comp 1 % (Max sample Instability)" The sample instability (%
x 100) computed during a calibration monitoring analysis above which a "bad meter"
result may be indicated, i.e. the "bad meter" counter may be incremented. During the
initial start-up this value should be 150 (i.e 1.5 %)
# "658 Recipe 30, Comp 3 % (Monitoring frequency band)" The frequency band as
a % of high flow rate at which a monitoring sample is acquired. A monitoring
sample is not acquired if the meter frequency is above or below the monitoring
frequency band. During initial start up this value should be set to 00.10 (i.e 10 %).
# "Data code 219/220/221/222. Mtr Calib status". The current calibration sample
status for meter 1
Configure this dynamic data code as item 5 so that the flow rate and the current status
for the meter is visible.
# Calib fail alarm action". The calibration failure alarm action. The default value is
"Primary". Select one of the following:
# Operation
The DanLoad 6000 auto-detects the number of blades, if necessary, and acquires a calibration
sample, which characterizes the meter, when the flow rate reaches the highest configured flow rate
during an authorized load. The status of the calibration sample (“Acquired” or “Not acquired”) may
be viewed in the dynamic data display. In order to acquire a calibration sample perform the
following :
# Set the program code 757 "Number of blades" to the number of magnetic blades (or
buttons) on the meter if known or set it to 1 if unknown.
When the batch reaches its high flow section, the DanLoad tries to acquire a “Calibration sample”.
The status of the calibration sample may be viewed in the dynamic data display. The status of the
calibration sample in the dynamic data display changes to “Acquired” when a calibration sample is
acquired by the DanLoad 6000. The calibration sample may be viewed from the “Calmon status”
screen on the DanLoad.
The DanLoad 6000 acquires monitoring samples on subsequent loads and determines the monitoring
characteristic of the meter
CALMON analysis
The calmon status screen contains information on the “Calibration sample”, the “Monitoring sample”
and “Calmon analysis”. Following information may be obtained from a characteristic sample:
# Mean blade deviation: A value indicating machine inaccuracies of blade spacing and
inaccuracies in blade angles.
# Sample instability: A value indicating the condition of the bearing such as damaged
or dry bearings.
The characteristic deviations indicate conditions such as single or multiple bent blades or
broken blades.
# Good count: The number of good meter analyses. The number of good meter
analyses are zeroed for every "CALMON reset count" calibration monitoring
analyses.
# Bad count: The number of bad meter analyses. The number of bad meter analyses are
zeroed for every "CALMON reset count" calibration monitoring analyses.
# Reset count: is the number of times “Calmon reset count” calibration monitoring
analysis was performed.
# Individual characteristic. The “Calmon status” screen also contains the characteristic
of each individual blade samples. The number of samples contained in this screen
depends on the number of blades on the meter.
# Alarm bitmap. is a 16 bit MPMC alarm bitmap since the DanLoad was last reset.
The alarm bitmap includes 4 types of “Calibration monitoring alarms”. The
DanLoad raises a “Calibration failure” alarm for any “Calibration monitoring” alarm
reported by the CALMON process.
The following table describes the “Alarm bitmap” that is displayed on the DanLoad 6000
“Alarm bitmap” field.
Alarm Flags
Bit # Description
Bit 0 is the LSB and bit 15 is the MSB. Alarms corresponding to bits 6,7 and 10, 11, 12,13,14 and
15 are raised by the CALMON process.
There are 4 types of alarms reported, per meter, by the CALMON process. These alarms are:
# "Calibration sample could not be acquired ": "CALMON reset count" attempts were
made to auto-detect the number of blades (if necessary) and acquire a calibration
sample. This condition usually occurs when a steady flow velocity is not maintained
during calibration sample acquisition.
# "Monitoring sample could not be acquired": A single good meter analysis per
"CALMON reset count" calibration monitoring analyses could not be made. This
condition is usually caused by either worn or dry bearings, unstable or pulsating flow
or debris in the line.
# "Calibration failure": The number of times bad meter analyses per "CALMON reset
count" exceeded "CALMON error limit". This condition is usually caused by bent
or broken turbine meter blades or worn bearings or dry bearings.
Calibration monitoring for a meter is disabled following an alarm and may be enabled again by the
master.
The following table is a list of calibration failure alarms reported by the MPMC and the probable
cause for these alarms.
Calibration sample could not be acquired. Unstable or pulsating flow. Worn or dry
bearings.
Blade count indeterminate.
Debris in the liquid line.
Monitoring sample could not be acquired. Unstable or pulsating flow. Worn or dry
bearings.
Debris in the liquid line.
Calibration failure. Bent or broken blade.
Worn or dry bearing.
Calibration checksum invalid. Nonvolatile RAM failure.
The following table is a list of common conditions that are responsible for meter calibration failures
and the Characteristic values that are affected by these conditions.
The tables located in Appendix A are provided as a guide to the various program codes (parameters)
that determine the configuration of the DanLoad 6000. These tables provide aid in determining if
all required program codes have been correctly configured. Refer to drawings BE-18204 Device

__________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
This section contains information on operation of the DanLoad 6000 Preset during batch delivery
and multiple batch delivery transactions. Operation of the DanLoad 6000 is defined by program
codes. Program codes consist of a three-digit identification number, a name, and a value or
selection. Program codes are configured during the setup procedure described in Section 3 - Setup.
Section 6 - Program Code Definitions contains additional information on the function of all
program codes.
The DanLoad 6000 is used to control and measure the delivery of liquid products to tanker vehicles.
Single components or from two to four components can be blended and delivered. Delivery of a
single component, either sequentially or simultaneously with other components, is called a load.
A batch consists of one or more component loads.
A batch is defined as the delivery of one single product or a blend consisting of two to four
components, with or without additives. A single batch delivery may constitute a transaction, that
is no more batches will be delivered to this client at this time. A batch delivery begins when the user
/ operator presets a quantity to be delivered and initiates the delivery. A batch delivery can be
suspended and restarted at any time if the following two limitations are met. All the permissive
circuits are closed (no active permissive alarm condition) and the Remaining quantity is greater than
the value set in program code 079 Minimum preset qty. The batch delivery is terminated when the
last pulse from the flow meter is detected and the batch delivery cannot be restarted due to one of
the conditions mentioned above.
A transaction is defined as one or more batch deliveries that are grouped together for accounting
purposes. Transactions are logically the delivery of one or more batches to one client, which would
be the case in multiple batches delivered to multiple compartments in a tanker vehicle. The
DanLoad 6000 allows the operator to define the batch deliveries that comprise a transaction. A
transaction is terminated if any of the following conditions occur.
# The STOP/PRINT key is pressed and a delivery operation is not in progress. If a batch
delivery is temporarily suspended by pressing the STOP/PRINT key, and it is desired to
continue the batch delivery, the ENTER and START key press sequence will restart the
batch delivery. If while the batch delivery is suspended, the STOP/PRINT key is pressed,
the transaction is terminated and either the Recipe Selection Display, the Additive Selection
Display, or the Loading Display is presented to the user / operator, depending on the system
configuration.
Operation _______________________________________________________________ 4 - 1
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
A new batch delivery which will be part of a new transaction must be defined before a product or
blend of products can be delivered. The batch delivery procedure is described in Section 4.2. Batch
delivery control parameters are preset by the user / operator. The method of delivering and
calculating the quantity the batch delivery are dependent on the preset configuration of the DanLoad
6000. The steps listed below indicate the sequence for initiating a batch delivery. Some or all of the
steps are bypassed if the feature is not implemented.
2 An additive selection: Required if additive injection selection method program code 136
Selection method is set to Prompt and the additive is selected program code 143 / 148 / 153
/ 158 / 163 / 168 Available.
3 Entry of one to five data items: Each data item can be from zero to eight numeric digits,
data items are used by terminal automation systems for batch / transaction accounting
purposes (Section 6 - Program Codes 030 to 037).
All of the batch delivery parameters must be preset before a batch delivery can begin. A transaction
must share all of these parameters for all associated batch deliveries. Therefore, a transaction is
restricted to one or more batch deliveries of a single product or a single blend of components which
have preselected additive injection parameters. A transaction cannot include multiple recipes, or
various additive injection combinations.
The display panel, status indicators, and keypad that are mounted in the operator control panel
provide operator interface with the instrument.
Desired functions are controlled via command entries at the keypad in response to displayed data and
prompt messages.
A LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel and three (red, green, yellow) LED (Light Emitting
Diode) status indicators are provided.
The three LED status indicators are visible through the vertical window located to the right of the
LCD display panel. During normal operation of the DanLoad 6000 in the Manual mode (not
connected to a terminal automation system) the yellow indicator is OFF (manual operating mode).
The green indicator is ON if power is applied to TB2 terminal 1 on the power supply board. This
power usually comes from the permissive power circuit and is not present unless the safety circuits
are enabled. The yellow and red LED’s are pulsed on/off for one second on power-up/reset of the
DanLoad 6000.
Operation _______________________________________________________________ 4 - 3
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
AUTO/MANUAL
(yellow) OFF The DanLoad 6000 is operating in the Manual mode (program code 025
Operating mode). (Note: Local operation is identical in either of these two
modes.)
ON The DanLoad 6000 is operating in the Auto mode (linked to a host computer
and operating as a slave unit) (program code 025 Operating mode).
FLASHING
# (Two short pulses every two seconds) Case internal temperature is
too high or the keypad/display is disconnected or power is removed
from the keypad/display.
# (One short pulse every two seconds) The condition that cased the
alarm has returned to normal state. The DanLoad 6000 should be
powered-up or reset to continue using the keypad/display.
# (Rapid flashing) Power failure or low power condition.
PERMISSIVE POWER
(green) ON The permissive power circuit is closed (normal state when a batch delivery
is in progress). The function of the green LED indicator is dependent on the
state of the permissive circuit, located on the power supply module, and is
not programmable.
OFF The permissive power circuit is open. This indicates an abnormal state which
is due to permissive power failure or failure of one or more permissive
circuits wired in series (wired AND) with the permissive power source (the
function of the green LED indicator is dependent on the state of the
permissive circuit and is not programmable).
ALARM STATUS
(red) ON A primary alarm is active (see Section 4.5 for information on alarm action).
The LCD data display has a back-lighting feature for ease of reading in low ambient light conditions.
The intensity of the back-lighting is controlled by the intensity level of ambient light (program
codes 355 to 360).
Data is displayed in up to three basic formats during normal batch delivery setup and delivery
operations. These three display formats are:
This display is presented to the user / operator if more than one recipe has been defined. If
only one recipe has been defined, that recipe is selected automatically and the Recipe
Selection Display is not presented to the operator. Information on recipe selection and an
example of this display are provided below in this section.
This display is presented to the user / operator if one or more additives have been defined and
the additive prompt option, program code 136 Selection method set to Prompt. In the case
where additives have been defined and made available, program code 143 / 148 / 153 / 158
/ 163 / 168 Available set to Yes, injection of all additives is always turned off and each
additive must be manually enabled via operator interaction. If no additives have been
defined, the Additive Selection Display is not presented to the operator. Information on
additive injection selection and enabling and an example of this display are provided below
in this section.
# Loading Display
This display is always presented to the user / operator to provide data feedback during
definition of a batch delivery operation and during delivery of the batch or group of batches
(transaction). Information on batch loading and an example of this display are provided
below in this section.
This display can be manually selected when the loading display is active. This data is
particularly useful during batch loading and meter proving.

4.1.1.3 Keypad
The numeric / function keypad provides the method for the user / operator to select recipes and
additives, enter the desired preset quantity, and control batch deliveries. Some key functions are
only applicable to setup of the DanLoad 6000 while in the Program Mode. These special functions
are not used in normal batch delivery operations and therefore are not covered in this section. The
keypad layout is indicated in Figure 4 - 1.

The Weights and Measures switch is the lockable and sealable pushbutton switch located in
the upper left corner of the keypad.
Key Function
Key functions applicable to batch delivery operations are listed in Figure 4 - 2. The description of
the batch delivery procedure in Section 4.2 contains in-context information of the function of the
various keys. The program key and the Weights and Measures switch are not used during normal
batch deliveries. However, the user / operator should be familiar with the functions of the program
key and Weights and Measures switch.
Operation _______________________________________________________________ 4 - 7
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# Program key
The program key is used, while operating in the Loading Mode and no batch delivery is in
progress, to access the Program Mode. This action is accomplished by pressing the ALT
key and while maintaining the ALT key depressed, simultaneously press the ENTER /
program key. The Enter passcode _________ prompt is displayed on the message line at
this time. The response is for the user / operator to enter their predefined passcode (one to
nine digits). If a passcode is not entered within thirty seconds or if an invalid passcode is
entered, the message Invalid passcode is displayed on the message line. Press the CLEAR
key to re-display the normal loading prompt, Enter preset quantity. Section 3 - Setup and
Section 6 - Program Code Definitions contain information on operation of the Program
Mode.
Several parameters, accessible as program codes in the Program Mode, have direct effect
on the validity and accuracy of the batch quantity calculations. These parameters were
specified during the setup procedure to have Weights and Measures attributes. Parameters
with the Weights and Measures attributes set have three levels of protection to restrict
modification of their values or options settings. A valid user passcode must be entered, the
user must have supervisor privilege, and the Weights and Measures switch must be open
(in the extended position). If the drift pin through the spring loaded switch actuator is
visible, the switch is open. During normal operation, this switch should be closed and wire
sealed in the closed position.
Additional information on the Program Mode and the function of the Weights and Measures switch
is located in Section 3 - Setup and Section 6 - Program Code Definitions.
This sub-section contains a description of normal operation of the DanLoad 6000 during batch data
entry, batch delivery, and termination of a batch delivery. The description covers operation of the
DanLoad 6000 in either the Stand-alone mode or the Manual mode. Operation in both of these
modes is identical from the user / operator viewpoint. Operation of the DanLoad 6000 as a slave
device to a terminal automation system is installation dependent and is covered in the DanLoad 6000
Communications Specification, Part Number 9-6000-674.
It is assumed at this point that the DanLoad 6000 is in the idle state, that is no batch delivery is in
progress and no transaction is open. If two or more recipes have been setup, the Recipe Selection
Display is displayed at the start of the transaction. If only one recipe has been setup, the single
recipe is assumed to the active recipe and the Recipe Selection Display is not shown. When a recipe
is selected, the availability of each recipe component is checked. The 068 / 071 / 074 / 077
Available parameter for all recipe components, located in the Component parameters group, must
be set to Yes. In the case of sequential blending, the sum of the selected component percentages
specified by program code 486 / ... / 660 Sequence to load parameter of the recipe, must be 100.
In the case of in-line blending, the sum of the percentages of all four components in the recipe must
be 100. An example of the Recipe Selection Display is provided below.
Operation _______________________________________________________________ 4 - 9
DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
To select the product (recipe) for delivery from the Recipe Selection Display by using the 9 or 8
key to position the select box over the desired product (recipe), then press the ENTER key.
If one or more additives have been setup and program code 136 Selection method is set to Prompt,
the Additive Selection Display is presented to the user / operator for selective enabling of each
additive. The transaction is authorized after the recipe and additive(s) are selected. However, the
transaction does not start until the START key is pressed to initiate the first batch.
While operating in the Automatic mode, additive injection is controlled by the terminal automation
system. While operating in the Stand-alone mode or the Manual mode, additive injection is
dependent on the option selected for program code 136 Selection method and related factors
described below.
# 136 Selection method = External (default selection) All configured additives are injected
if an external enable contact closure is closed.
# 136 Selection method = Prompt The Additive Selection Display is presented to the operator
for manual selection of each additive before the start of each transaction. (Note: In AUTO
mode, at least one of the additive delivery enable program codes 143 / 148 / 153 / 158 / 163
/ 168 Available, must be set to yes to enable presentation of the Additive Selection Display.)
# 136 Selection method = Inputs Any configured additive is injected if the corresponding
external enable contact closure (program code 382 / 385 / 388 / 391 / 394 / 397 Selection
input) for that particular additive is closed.

# Loaded field contains the batch quantity of the delivered product. The value in this field is
incremented in quantity units until either the preset quantity is reached or the delivery is
suspended or terminated.
# Preset field contains the batch quantity to deliver which is manually entered by the user /
operator in response to the Enter preset quantity prompt shown on the message line of the
display panel.
# Remaining field contains the batch quantity that has not yet been delivered during a batch
delivery. (Preset quantity minus loaded quantity equals remaining quantity)
# Transaction total field contains the total accumulated quantity for the delivery transaction.
A delivery transaction can consist of one batch delivery or multiple batch deliveries.
# Product units mnemonic (Gal) field contains the engineering units label used in the display
panel and in reports. The mnemonic is entered by program code 218 Product units
mnemonic. Although the default entry is “Gal”, any six-character label may be entered. Note
that this selection is a display label only and does not affect the quantity unit scaling of the
flow calculations. See Section 6 - Program Code Definitions for additional information.
# Bar graph percentage display is the rectangle displayed on the right side of the display panel.
This display is a bar graph representation of the quantity percentage loaded to the receiving
tank. As the Loaded quantity is incremented and the Remaining quantity is decremented,
the bar graph percentage is proportionately shaded in black. The black shading represents
the Loaded quantity and the unshaded portion represents the Remaining quantity. The
number located at the top of the tank indicates the percentage of the Preset quantity that has
been Loaded. The normal range of this number is 0% to 100%. However, percentages
greater than 100 percent are indicated for a delivery quantity in excess of 100 percent of the
preset quantity.

If a data item prompt or prompts were defined during the setup procedure the prompts will be
displayed during batch delivery setup. Data item prompts accept user / operator numeric entries of
up to five eight-digit numeric values that are saved in transaction storage memory or printed in data
log in manual or stand-alone modes. In auto mode, data items are communicated to a terminal
automation system for transaction accounting purposes. Data item entries are not used internally by
the DanLoad 6000. Data item prompts are messages that are presented on the message line of the
display panel when the Loading Display is first shown. These prompt messages are defined during
setup with program codes 030 to 036.
However, note that the message shown above is a default entry which can be changed to a
meaningful prompt message during setup. Actual messages that could be displayed are: Enter order
number:, Enter driver number:, Enter trailer number:, etc. The response is to enter the desired
number, from one to eight digits and then press the ENTER key. If program code 036 Prompt
time-out (s) has been defined, and no entry is made within the time-out time period, the Recipe
Selection Display will be redisplayed to allow restarting the batch delivery setup procedure. If an
error is made during the numeric entry, press the CLEAR key and reenter the number. If an invalid
number is entered and accepted, press the STOP/PRINT key to terminate and re-start the
transaction. If an entry is not required, press the ENTER key to continue. After all one to five data
items have either been entered or bypassed, the Loading Display as shown in Figure 4 - 5, with the
Enter preset quantity prompt is presented to the user / operator.

If data item entries have not been defined in the setup procedure, the Loading Display is presented
as shown in Figure 4 - 5, with the Enter preset quantity prompt displayed.
The quantity to deliver is entered with the numeric keypad. If an entry error is made, press the
CLEAR key to reset the entry and start again. If the entry is correct, press the ENTER key to
accept the entry and continue. If the selected recipe component percentages and components
specified by program code 486 / ... / 660 Sequence to load program code do not equal 100 percent,
the message Invalid recipe (percentages) is displayed on the message line at this time. This setup
error condition can be corrected by selecting the Program Mode > Setup Menu > Recipes program
codes and revising either the percentages of the individual components specified by the loading
sequence and / or the loading sequence program code. If the entered value is less than the value of
program code 079 Minimum preset qty, the message Invalid entry - less than minimum is displayed
on the message line of the display panel. Press the CLEAR key to reset the entry and start again.
If the entered value is greater that the value of program code 078 Maximum preset qty, the message
Invalid entry - more than maximum is displayed on the message line of the display panel. Press the
CLEAR key to reset the entry and start again.
If the manual entry passes the high and low preset quantity validation checks, the Preset and
Remaining field values are set to the entered value, the Delivered value is set to zero, and the
message Press START when ready or STOP to cancel is displayed on the message line of the display
panel. If the STOP/PRINT key is pressed at this time, the batch delivery that is setup is aborted.
The message Please wait is displayed on the message line of the display panel and then the Recipe
Selection Display is re-displayed to allow reentry of a new batch delivery definition. Any open
transaction is also terminated by this action.
The green LED ON indicates that the environment is safe for the loading operation. If all permissive
circuits are not in the safe state, the corresponding alarm message (Connect safety circuit, etc.) is
displayed.
The following message sequence is displayed on the message line of the display panel during a
normal batch delivery operation.
This message and operator entry is only required if the selected unit type is Seq.(manual)
(manual sequential blender).

The pump for the component is running and the loading line is being packed.
The flow control valve or valves are opening in stages to increase the flow rate to the
maximum predefined flow rate.
# Load in progress
The flow control valve or valves are closing in stages to decrease the flow rate to the
predefined low flow rate.
# Shutting valve
All open flow control valves are closed. Block valves are closed if the unit is not a manual

The following tasks are performed during the batch delivery operation.
# The display panel shows the preset quantity, the delivered quantity (incrementing), the
transaction quantity (incrementing), and the remaining quantity (decrementing). These
accumulators indicate either gross or standard quantities dependent on the setup parameters.
# Up to four delivery flow rates can be defined for each flow meter / flow control valve
combination. The DanLoad 6000 always attempts to deliver the product at the maximum
defined flow rate except during low flow startup and shutdown times. The rate of flow is
controlled automatically without interaction with the user / operator. If the highest defined
flow rate cannot be maintained for some reason, the DanLoad 6000 will set the flow rate at
the next highest maintainable flow rate, which is selected in the setup, and periodically
attempt to increase the flow rate to the maximum defined flow rate.

# Up to six additives can be injected into the delivered batch. The ratio of the quantity of each
additive to the delivered batch quantity is automatically controlled.
# All permissive inputs are monitored continuously for abnormal conditions. An open
permissive circuit will cause the green LED indicator to turn OFF, indicating no permissive
power, cause an alarm message to appear on the message line of the display panel and may
suspend the batch delivery, depending on the defined control parameters.
# All process variables are monitored continuously and compared to limit setpoints. Abnormal
process conditions will cause an alarm and the corresponding message to appear on the
message line of the display panel and may suspend the batch delivery, depending on the
defined control parameters.
# Real-time process input data and calculated process data, such as real-time flow rates,
average temperatures, etc., can be monitored by the Dynamic Data Display window which
is displayed in the center area of the Loading Display. The SELECT key is pressed to
activate the Dynamic Data Display window. The 9 and 8 arrow keys are used to change
display pages (one to four display pages, with four data items in each display page - for a
total of up to sixteen different items, can be predefined). The CLEAR key removes the
Dynamic Data Display window and re-displays the standard Loading Display.
# The batch delivery can be temporarily suspended by pressing the STOP/PRINT key. The
batch delivery can be restarted if the quantity remaining to deliver is greater than the
minimum preset quantity and all permissive circuits are closed, indicating that the system
is safe and ready for batch delivery.
# If a power failure occurs during a batch delivery operation, the DanLoad 6000 saves the date
and time of the power failure in non-volatile memory and indicates this in a message on the
first display presented when power is restored to the instrument.

DanLoad 6000 (v6.00) __________________________________________________________
# The DanLoad 6000 ramps down to the low flow rate (or stop rate for an in-line blending
application) at a configurable quantity from the end of a batch. The valves are finally
commanded to close (fully), i.e. the “final trip point” is reached, based on the average value
of the five most recently taken “valve closure pulse samples” for the component/valve
combination. A valve closure pulse sample is the number of pulses between commanding
the valve to close (deenergizing the valve solenoids) and the flow rate dropping to zero (zero
flow rate being defined as 2.5 seconds without a single pulse being recorded). If the batch
terminates normally, i.e. flow is stable at the low flow rate at the final trip point and there is
no alarm (such as “unable to close valve”), a new valve closure pulse sample is taken and a
new average is computed to be used for the next batch. NOTE: If the low flow stop quantity
is too small it may not be possible for the flow rate to stabilize at the low flow rate, i.e.
within the deadband, prior to reaching the final trip point, in which case the flow control
valve closure sample for that batch will not be used. NOTE 2: The valve closure pulse
samples are stored in non-volatile (battery-backed) memory. NOTE 3: The valve closure
number of pulses depends on line pressure (particularly for hydraulically operated flow
control valves, which close more slowly when line pressure is low) and the repeatability of
the low flow rate (particularly with two-stage flow control valves).
# When the DanLoad 6000 is in the idle / ready state, the Loading Display is presented to the
user / operator with the prompt Enter preset quantity. The previously delivered quantity is
indicated in the Loaded field and the Remaining field indicates 0. The Loading Display
remains in this state until the user / operator initiates a new batch delivery (part of the open
transaction) by entering the quantity to be delivered. Or the open transaction is closed by
pressing the STOP/PRINT key without a batch delivery in progress.
Each delivered batch quantity total will be combined in the transaction delivered total until
the STOP/PRINT key is pressed when a delivery is not in progress.

Additives can be automatically injected into the delivered product or component blend. The additive
volume in relation to the delivered product volume is usually very small, typically less than four
percent of the delivered quantity. The basic features of the additive injection operations are listed
below.
# Directly control the injection of one to six additives (or no additive). Additive injection is
quantity based and determined by the configured ratio, program code 140 / 145 / 150 / 155
/ 160 / 165 Ratio qty, of the preset batch quantity and the quantity of additive injected,
which is controlled by program code 139 / 144 / 149 / 154 / 159 / 164 Additive control
meters. The quantity of additive to inject is reset at the start of each batch delivery operation.
Therefore, additive injection is based on batch quantity and not transaction quantity.
However, the same additive or additives selection applies to all batches that are part of a
transaction.
# Allow one additive to be selected automatically based on the selected recipe number 1 to 6.
Delivery of recipe 1 to 6 activates injection of the corresponding additive, 1 to 6. Different
injection methods (additive injector types) for each logical additive are also permitted.
# Allow additives to be selected from the terminal automation system and / or a discrete
selection input for each additive and manual selection with the keypad while viewing the
Additive Selection Display.
# Provide multiple injection rates (concentrations) per additive via the “Multi Rate” additive
selection method.
# (Option) Accumulate and / or verify the quantity totals with data logging of the injected
additives.
# (Option) Deliver a clean line quantity, without additive injection, at the end of each loading
operation. Additive injection ratio is maintained correctly with or without clean line loading
implemented.
# The DanLoad 6000 can be configured to provide either an AC or DC control output to self-
controlled or automatic additive injection systems that require a one-to-one drive signal. In
addition, either an AC or DC status input (default Safety circuit #4) can detect an alarm
condition from the additive injector.

This sub-section contains information on the data logging and reporting capabilities of a DanLoad
6000 equipped with an optional DUART board. The data logging feature allows the DanLoad 6000
to generate an audit trail for documentation of operation of the loading system. The function
provides a cost effective manual backup documentation system for use if the terminal automation
system fails.
The program codes listed below, with the exception of program codes 709 and 710, are used to
enable or disable automatic logging of the corresponding data. Program code 709 is used to enable
or disable printing of data log sequence numbers on each data log. The sequence numbers are printer
sequential. If multiple printers are attached to the DanLoad 6000, sequence numbering for each
printer is independent.
Data logging usually involves sending the enabled reports / data to a common 80-column dot matrix
printer. However, data logs can be sent to a personal computer or any other data logging device that
can handle serial input ASCII data with a CR (carriage return) and LF (line feed) at the end of each
line of data.
Data is sent from the DanLoad 6000 to the printer or logging device as each event occurs. This
method of operation is called event logging. Logs are not stored in the DanLoad 6000. However,
if the DanLoad 6000 detects that the printer or logging device is off-line, logs are held in memory
until either the printer / logging device becomes on-line, then the stored logs are printed or the log
memory is full. The action taken if the data logging memory becomes full is specified by program
code 235 Data logging alarm action.

__________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
Several DanLoad 6000's can share one data printer or logging device. Printer sharing requires a
special device that accepts the serial data link from each DanLoad 6000 and provides one serial data
link to the printer.
The text language of the data logs is specified by program code 028 Language.
An example of each type of data log associated with normal batch deliveries and transactions is
provided below. The Crash memory summary log is described in Section 4.5 - Fault Analysis /

The DanLoad 6000 continuously calculates and verifies CRC-16 checksums on critical
blocks of memory containing data such as totalizers, calibration factors and flow rates
and temperature calculation parameters. If a checksum does not verify correctly, the
DanLoad 6000 raises a “Memory check failed” primary alarm; this problem should be
reported to Daniel Customer Service. Additionally, there are two situations in when a
“Memory check failed” alarm is raised, both of which are “harmless” and can be
ignored:
1. Flow meter pulses entering the unit during power-up or reset. Operator action:
Reset the alarm and continue to use the unit.
2. Batch started after having modified calibraton factors or flow rates via

Section 5
General
This section contains information on flow meter proving using methods specified in API standards
and English measurement units. The general information applies to other standards and
measurement units as well. Meter proving is the procedure for determining a meter factor for a rack
flow meter. Calibration is the procedure for determining a volume of the meter prover and is not
covered in this manual.
Details are provided on manual meter proving by the prover tank method and the master meter
method. The pipe prover method is usually used for proofs of large capacity flow meters in pipeline
or tanker ship loading service and is not covered in this manual. Meter proving determines the
accuracy of the flow measurement and therefore the accuracy of quantity and cash accounting for
delivered products. It is strongly recommended that you read this section, all local, regional, and
country standards, and all company standards applicable to your installation and meter proving,
before proving a rack meter or a master meter.
Typical forms used during the meter proving procedure are provided at the end of this section. These
forms can be copied or used as a guide for development of forms for your organization.
Note
The flow meter proving procedures described in this section and the typical meter proof forms
(Figure 5 -2, Figure 5 -3) are primarily provided to describe the DanLoad 6000 program
codes that affect meter proving and flow measurement accuracy. The method of meter proving
and the typical form may require changes before use in your organization. Consult the flow
measurement accounting department of your organization before conducting flow meter
proofs.
A prover tank is a field standard measure which is designed and calibrated by a laboratory that can
provide calibration traceability to the Weights and Measures Office of the National Bureau of
Standards. The calibrated prover tank can be used in either or both of the following meter proof
methods.
# Used periodically to prove a master meter. Then the master meter is used to prove the
individual rack meters.
The primary American Petroleum Institute standards applicable to meter proving are:
These standards supersede API Standards 1101, 2531, 2533, and 2534 and are widely used in the
USA and several other countries. The volume reduction tables 6 and 24 are also designated: ASTM
D 1250, API Standard 2540, and IP 200.
Every flow meter is a unique device. The manufacturer fabricates each flow meter so that it meets
design specifications. However, differences within normal fabrication tolerances produce
apparently identical flow meters that generate slightly different pulses per volume unit (K-factor).
The nominal K-factor [average number of pulses per each volume unit (such as a gallon) that are
generated by a flow meter] is stamped on the flow meter nameplate. For example, by design the
Daniel 4-inch LR turbine meter should produce 23.0 pulses per each gallon measured. After
manufacture, each LR turbine meter is proved with water flow at the factory. This initial meter
proof of the new flow meter may produce an actual K-factor for that flow meter of 23.403 pulses
per gallon measured. This initial meter proving is normally the only time that the flow meter K-
factor is determined by a meter proof. After a meter has been installed on-site, additional meter
proofs may be used to determine meter factors. Over the lifetime of a meter, its meter factor may
change due to variations in flow rates, viscosities, wear, and other causes. However, the K-factor
will always remain the same. The K-factor is the gross adjustment factor and the meter factor is the
fine adjustment factor. The DanLoad 6000 uses a mathematical combination of the K-factor and
the meter factor to adjust the volume accumulation totalizers to match the actual volume that has
flowed through the meter.
In addition to the type of flow meter and installation design, the product being measured,
temperature of the product being measured, the flow rate, and, to a lesser extent, the pressure of
the product being measured may also affect the accuracy of the flow measurement. (Note: The
pressure effect on the volume of low vapor pressure hydrocarbon liquids, such as gasoline, diesel,
kerosine, and fuel oil is usually negligible when these liquids are handled at low pressures (less
than 100 PSIG) and is ignored in many tanker vehicle loading installations. Pressure compensation
and back-pressure control should always be implemented in LPG loading configurations.)
Flow meters can be proved as often as desired. Many organizations have regulations governing the
frequency of meter proofs. These regulations are often based on date, volume of flow through the
meter, and / or number of loading operations use the meter. If your organization does not have such
regulations, each meter should be proved periodically and the proof results compared with previous
proof results to determine if more frequent or less frequent proofs are required.
The terminology used in this section is defined below and is based on the definitions in the API
standards.
Term Definition
Gross volume The indicated volume times the meter factor derived from a meter proving of
the flow meter at a specific flow rate. This is a volume measurement. This
volume is displayable as Dynamic Data Element - Mtr m grs load in the
DanLoad 6000 and is used to determine the volume measured by the rack
meter during meter proving.
Calculation: gross volume = indicated volume times meter factor
Indicated volume (also called meter registration) The change in the flow meter reading that
Occurs during a product flow measurement operation. This is a volume
measurement.
Calculation: indicated volume = end reading minus start reading
Term Definition
K-factor The pulses per volume unit, such as gallon, generated by a pulse (System
factor) output type flow meter. The K-factor is also called the system factor.
The nominal value is determined by flow meter design and factory water flow
calibration and is indicated on the flow meter nameplate. The K-factor is a
physical characteristic of the flow meter and is a fixed number.
Master meter A master meter is a turbine meter or positive displacement meter that has
been proved previously with a tank prover. The master meter is temporarily
connected in series with a rack meter to be proved so that all flow passes
through both meters. A volume of liquid is passed through both meters and
the volume measured by the master meter is considered to be 'correct'. The
difference between the volume measured by each meter determines the meter
factor for the rack meter. The API standard recommends that a minimum
volume of 10,000 volume unit increments are accumulated during a meter
proof and that the minimum duration of a meter proof run be five minutes.
Meter factor A number used internally by the DanLoad 6000 in flow calculations to
correct the indicated volume (final flow meter registration minus initial flow
meter registration) to the observed gross volume (actual flow meter
throughput at operating conditions). The meter factor value is near 1.0000
and rounded to four decimal places.
Term Definition
Pipe prover A pipe prover is a calibrated pipe section that contains a sphere made of an
elastomer material and a sphere detector switch located at each end of the
calibrated pipe section. The pipe prover has two basic configurations, bi-
directional or uni-directional. As the names imply, the sphere can pass in
either direction or only one direction, respectively. The sphere detector
switches are used to start and stop an external prover counter which can be
connected to a high resolution pulse output from the DanLoad 6000. A meter
proof is performed by directing all flow through a flow meter in series with
the pipe prover calibrated pipe section and accumulating the raw pulses
generated by the flow meter while the prover sphere moves from the start
pulse count gate switch and the stop pulse count gate switch. Since the
precise volume of the calibrated section of the pipe prover is known, the
flow meter pulse output corresponds to that precise volume, and each
volume unit can be calculated.
Tank prover A tank prover is a fixed or portable graduated tank that is calibrated to
contain a precise known volume of liquid. The tank bottom and sides are
reinforced so that the weight of the liquid in the tank does not distort the tank.
The graduated sight gauge(s) permit determination of the exact volume of
liquid in the tank. The minimum capacity of the tank must be equal to the
volume that passes through the flow meter in one minute. The recommended
capacity of the tank is 1-1/2 to 2 times the volume that passes through the
flow meter in one minute. For example, if the maximum operational flow
rate of a flow meter is 600 GPM, the minimum prover tank capacity is 600
gallons, and the recommended prover tank capacity between 900 and 1200
gallons.
Program codes that affect the flow measurement accuracy of the DanLoad 6000 may be restricted
from modification by the Weights & Measures attributes of those program codes. If these program
codes are set to ON, the value of the program codes can only be changed when the Weights &
Measures switch is set OPEN. Therefore, before a flow meter can be proved, the front panel
Weights & Measures switch must be set OPEN (extended position).
A DanLoad 6000 can deliver up to four components and each component can be delivered at up to
four different flow rates. The lowest defined flow rate for a component is the component's 'low flow
rate'. The highest defined flow rate for a component is the component's 'high flow rate' which is
also called the 'normal flow rate'. Any other defined flow rates for a component are called 'fall back
flow rates' or 'intermediate flow rates'. Each of the component / flow rate combinations has a
unique meter factor for a total of sixteen possible meter factors. Installations with less than four flow
meters and less than four flow rates will have fewer meter factors.
The meter factors for each component must be determined and entered in the order shown below.
The component number p is 1 to 4. The reason for determining meter factors in this order is to
prevent any inaccuracies at any lower flow rate from affecting the accuracy of the meter factor for
a higher flow rate. Because meter proving is performed during batch delivery, startup and shutdown
volumes delivered at low flow start rate and low flow stop rate, are included in the total proof batch.
Therefore, any volume measurement errors occurring during low flow rate times will be
compensated in the total proving batch.
In some organizations it is acceptable to use only a low flow and high flow meter factor even when
one or two fall back flow rates are defined. In these cases, the rack meter is proved at the low and
high flow rate and the meter factor for the high flow rate is also entered as the meter factor for one
or two fall back flow rates.
During meter proving, various parameter values may need to be changed. All associated parameters
are not located in the same Setup Menu sub-group. To access a parameter when the Setup Menu is
active, enter the three-digit program code number. The selected parameter is then displayed. Verify
or change the value of the parameter as desired. Then press the EXIT (ALT + CLEAR) key to
re-display the Setup Menu and select the next parameter or continue.
Each meter proving run can only determine one meter factor for one component (flow meter) / flow
rate combination. Each component defined by the DanLoad 6000 configuration is associated with
a meter number by program codes 067 / 070 / 073 / 076 Meter. Each flow meter is automatically
assigned a fixed input number (1 to 4) dependent on the pulse meter card slot location and on-board
switch settings. For example: Component number 1 may be associated with the fixed input for
meter number 3.
Unique meter proving recipes should be setup to define each single component for use in controlling
the block valves of a multi-component blending system during meter proving.
Example:
Select an undefined recipe number higher than the last defined operational recipe and set that recipe
to deliver 100 percent of component 1, set the next recipe to delivery 100 percent of component 2.
Setup from one to four recipes (one for each component) that permit selection and proof delivery
of each component without any blending. The setup could appear as follows.
Recipe 10:
535 Prove Gasoline
536 Component 1 % = 100
537 Component 2 % = 0
538 Component 3 % = 0
539 Component 4 % = 0
540 Sequence to load 1XXX
Recipe 11:
541 Prove Diesel
542 Component 1 % = 0
543 Component 2 % = 100
544 Component 3 % = 0
545 Component 4 % = 0
546 Sequence to load 2XXX
(Continue to define a third recipe for component 3 and a forth recipe for component 4 meter proofs
if required.)
The gross loaded volume, with the current meter factor applied, that the DanLoad 6000 measures
during the delivery operation must be displayable after a meter proof is completed. The following
data element codes are available for this purpose.
103 Mtr 1 grs load 689 Dynamic Data Display - Element 10 (default)
104 Mtr 2 grs load ____ ______________________________
105 Mtr 3 grs load ____ ______________________________
106 Mtr 4 grs load ____ ______________________________
The table above indicates that only Mtr 1 grs load is displayable if the DanLoad 6000 is in the
default configuration. If two or more components are defined, the flow meter assignment for each
component must be determined. Once the flow meter / component relationship is determined, the
Mtr m grs load parameter must be made displayable as a Dynamic Data Display element. This task
is accomplished as follows.
Perform the following steps to activate display of the dynamic data codes required for meter proof
monitoring.
# Enter Setup Mode, select the program codes listed above for each defined component and
record the flow meter assignment.
# Decide which of the sixteen default dynamic data codes are not of interest for display at your
installation. Record the current program code assignment of these data display locations
(program codes 680 to 695).
# Select program codes from 680 to 688 or 690 to 695 (do not change program code 689
Dynamic data element 10 (Mtr 1 grs load) which is used to monitor the component delivery
through flow meter number 1).
# Enter the Dynamic Data Codes 104 Mtr 2 grs load, 105 Mtr 3 grs load, and 106 Mtr 4 grs
load as required for each defined flow meter / component combination. Only program codes
for defined flow meter / component combinations are displayable.
# The Dynamic Data Display can now display the Mtr m grs load parameter for each defined
flow meter / component combination. The value of the active Mtr m grs load parameter is
obtained and entered in the meter proof form during a meter proof.
Note: See Section 6 for a complete list of Dynamic Data Codes and see Appendix A for the sixteen
default assignments (program codes 680 through 695).
The method described below for calculating a new meter factor for a DanLoad 6000 generally
follows the published API method with the following modifications.
# The API standard uses the flow meter registration which is the indicated volume without the
current meter factor applied. The DanLoad 6000 parameter Mtr m grs load xxxx.xx is the
gross volume with the current meter factor for the active component / flow rate combination
applied. The meter proof calculations described in this section provide an adjustment
number which is multiplied by the current meter factor to determine the value of the new
meter factor. (Note: The meter factor calculation must be performed properly or large
errors in flow measurement accounting can occur.)
# The API standard uses compensation for the effect of pressure on the on the liquid (factor
CPLx) which is rarely used at a load rack installation. To ignore CPLx, enter 1.0000 in the
equation. (Note: The handling of CPLx must be determined by local regulations and the
policy of your organization and clients.)
# The API standard uses compensation for the effect of temperature on the liquid (factor CTLx)
and compensation for the effect of pressure on the liquid (factor CPLx) for both the master
meter and the rack meter. Many organizations consider that the master meter and the rack
meter are operating at identical process conditions during meter proving batch deliveries.
Therefore, CTLx and CPLx are ignored and entered as 1.0000 in the equations for both the
master meter and the rack meter. (Note: The handling of CTLx and CPLx must be determined
by local regulations and the policy of your organization and clients.)
The relation between the API volume designations and prover tank, master meter, and rack meter
volumes are indicated in the following table.
The table Prover / Meter Volume Relationship, Figure 5 - 1, shows relation of meter volumes to
the prover tank for information only. Note the following points.
# The prover tank is a fixed volume tank in which the volume is measured at the nominal
atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the following factors, which do not apply to the prover
tank, are ignored and considered to be equal to 1.0000.
# meter factor
This means that the volume delivered to the prover tank can be considered to be indicated
volume which is also equal to gross volume because a meter factor is not required to adjust
the prover tank volume. Only temperature correction factors can be applied to the liquid
volume delivered to the prover tank.
# The pressure correction factor for the effect of pressure on the liquid in the flow meter (CPLx)
is usually ignored and considered to be equal to 1.0000 for rack operations.
# The Dynamic Data Display element Mtr m grs load xxxx.xx in the DanLoad 6000 is an
accumulator for gross volume with a resolution of hundreds of a volume unit, such as
gallons.
The meter proof methods described using a rack meter connected to a DanLoad 6000 use values
obtained from the Mtr m grs load xxxx.xx accumulator. The basic calculation sequence, without
temperature correction factors, is described below.
Calculate the volume error between the prover volume (prover tank or master meter) and the rack
meter measured volume.
where:
rack meter volume error The difference in the volume delivered to or measured by the prover
and the rack meter corrected gross volume.
corrected delivery volume # prover tank: The volume, corrected for the effect of
temperature on the tank steel and the liquid, delivered to the
prover tank.
Calculate the percentage error between the prover volume (prover tank or master meter) and the
rack meter measured volume.
where:
rack meter percent error The percentage of error in the corrected volume delivery.
rack meter volume error The difference in the volume delivered to or measured by the prover
and the rack meter corrected gross volume (obtained from calculation
1).
If this calculation produces a percentage error that is within the tolerances of the regulating
organizations and your organization, the current meter factor is considered to be acceptable and no
further action is required. The exact value must be determined by the governing regulations.
Example: A typical calculation might produce a result of 0.01 which is equal to one percent
error.
Calculate the adjustment to be applied to the current meter factor, if it has been determined that the
percentage of error (calculation 2) is not acceptable.
where:
Calculate the new meter factor which will be manually entered in program code ccc Comp p meter
factor f corresponding to the active program code ccc Comp p flow rate r.
where:
new meter factor The calculated meter factor that must be manually entered for
program code ccc Comp p meter factor f to correct the measurement
error in future flow measurement.
Three examples of meter factor calculations are provided below. The calculations show the relation
between the measured volumes and the meter factor adjustments required. To simplify the examples,
the temperature and pressure corrections are disregarded.
Assume that the volume accumulated Mtr m grs load is 1000.00 gallons and that the rack meter
current active meter factor is 1.0123 for the component / flow rate combination. Then the indicated
volume is equal to 987.85 gallons.
Equation:
1000.00
987.85 = -------------
1.0123
Parameter Value
ADJUSTMENT 1
(1000.00 / 1000.00)
In the example above, the accumulated Mtr m grs load for the rack meter exactly equals the volume
delivered to the prover tank or measured through the master meter. Since the delivered corrected
gross volume is exactly equal to the rack meter corrected gross volume, the current_meter_factor
is correct. The new_meter_factor value is exactly equal to the current_meter_factor value.
Therefore, the current meter factor, 1.0123, should not be changed.
Example 2: One percent over delivery - assume after completion of a meter proof run:
Parameter Value
Parameter Value
ADJUSTMENT 1.01
(1010.00 / 1000.00)
In the example above, the accumulated Mtr m grs load for the rack meter is less than the volume
delivered to the prover tank or measured through the master meter. Since the delivered corrected
gross volume is greater than the rack meter corrected gross volume, the value of the
current_meter_factor is less than it should be. Therefore, the new_meter_factor (1.0224) should
be manually entered for the value of the active program code ccc Comp p meter factor f.
Example 3: One percent under delivery - assume after completion of a meter proof run:
Parameter Value
ADJUSTMENT 0.99
(990.00 / 1000.00)
In the example above, the accumulated Mtr m grs load for the rack meter is greater than the volume
delivered to the prover tank or measured through the master meter. Since the delivered corrected
gross volume is less than the rack meter corrected gross volume, the value of the
current_meter_factor is greater than it should be. Therefore, the new_meter_factor (1.0022)
should be manually entered for the value of the active program code ccc Comp p meter factor f.
The examples above do not include temperature compensation calculations. However, during actual
meter proving, these calculations must be performed. Before starting meter proving, obtain a copy
of Table A-1 - Temperature Correction Factors for Mild Steel or Table A-2 - Temperature
Correction Factors for Stainless Steel from API MPMS Chapter 12 - Section 2 - Instructions for
Calculating Liquid Petroleum Quantities Measured by Turbine or Displacement Meters for use in
calculating CTSP. And obtain a copy of Table 6A, 6B, 6C, 24A, or 24B from API MPMS Chapter
11.1 - Volume Correction Factors for use in calculating CTLP and CTLM.
# Enter Setup Mode (with box cursor on Setup selection, press ENTER key)
# Access and change program codes as described below (refer to the tables located at the end
of this section for program code information)
# If the DanLoad 6000 is a multi-component blender, specify a meter proof recipe as described
above to select the desired component for proof. If the DanLoad 6000 delivers only one
component, recipe number 1, which specifies a one component to one flow meter
relationship, is selected automatically.
# If an existing preset system that uses an effective K-factor for each flow rate is replaced by
a DanLoad 6000, the DanLoad 6000 requires a nominal K-factor and meter factor for each
flow rate. Set program code 171 / 182 / 193 / 294 Nominal K-factor as indicated above,
enter program code ccc Comp p meter factor f as program code ccc Nominal K-factor divided
by the effective K-factor for the flow rate and rounded to four decimal places.
The following two parameter group entries are required for all defined components:
The following two parameter group entries are required for all defined components in a two
stage (low flow / normal flow) loading system:
The following four parameter group entries are required for all defined components only in
loading systems that define three or four flow rates for loading:
# As mentioned above, the meter factor for program code ccc Comp p factor 1 will always be
determined first. To assure continued flow at program code ccc Comp p flow rate 1 rate, set
program code 169 Number of factors/component to 1.
Rack meters, or a master meter, are proved with a tank prover by loading a batch of one product
at one flow rate to the prover tank. The frequency of meter proofs of rack meters must be
determined by company policy or regional regulations. Rack meters should be proved on each
product and at the normal delivery flow rate for each product. The set of proofs of the rack meters
provide a list of meter factors related to each product / flow rate combination. The corresponding
meter factor is then entered into the DanLoad 6000 and is automatically active when the related
product / flow rate combination is active.
A meter proof is performed by the tank prover method in the following manner.
# A meter proof wetting run should be performed first to wet the prover tank and help stabilize
the temperature in the rack meter / prover tank circuit. The wetting run is a proof run
without recording data.
# A liquid batch that will fill the tank prover to a liquid level visible in the graduated section
is defined and delivered to a prover tank.
# Proof data is gathered and manual calculations are performed to determine the error between
the prover tank volume (corrected for temperature) and the and the flow meter registration
(corrected for temperature).
# The volume and percentage error are calculated. If necessary, a new meter factor is
calculated.
# The new meter factor, which should always be near 1.0000, is manually entered into the
DanLoad 6000 for the active program code ccc Comp p meter factor f, where ccc is one of
the following program codes: 175 / 177 / 179 / 181 / 186 / 188 / 190 / 192 / 197 / 199 / 201
/ 203 / 208 / 210 / 212 / 214 dependent on the component number p (1 to 4) and the meter
factor number f (1 to 4).
# The prover tank can be drained and the steps listed above are repeated and the results
averaged, if desired.
For this example, assume that the loading system is a two component blender and that each
component is loaded at one of three flow rates [low flow start / stop, fall back, and normal (high)
flow]. Any other configuration, from a one component - one flow rate system to a four component -
four flow rate system is proved in a similar manner by proving each component (flow meter) at
each flow rate, in flow rate ascending order. The component order of proving is not important.
# Make the system mechanically and electrically ready for delivery of a liquid batch to the
prover tank.
# Select the previously defined recipe for proving component 1 (recipe definitions are in the
program codes 480 to 661).
# Set program code 169 Number of factors/component, to 1 to assure that only the low flow
rate is used.
# Verify or set the low flow rate with program code 174.
# At the Loading Display, enter the preset volume as the volume of the prover tank.
# Monitor the volume delivered in the dynamic data display. Press SELECT - 9 - 9 keys to
display item 10 (Mtr 1 grs load n.nn). This volume is the gross uncompensated volume
units delivered, adjusted by the current active meter factor, to hundredths of a volume unit.
# After the delivery is terminated, determine the new meter factor by entering the data in a
copy of the METER PROVING REPORT FOR TANK PROVER METHOD form RUN 1
column.
At this point the new meter factor, program code 175 Comp 1 meter factor 1, is within tolerance
and accepted. The next higher flow rate, program code 176 Comp 1 flow rate 2, is used to
determine the meter factor for that flow rate. Assume that flow rate 2 is 400 GPM, an fall back flow
rate that is used as a fall-back flow rate if the maximum flow rate cannot be maintained. Set 176
Comp 1 flow rate 2 to 400.
During the meter proof at the low flow rate, the low flow rate was forced active by setting program
code 169 Number of factors/component to 1 so that the DanLoad 6000 activates the low flow rate
only. Set program code 169 Number of factors/component to 2 at this time to enable flow at the next
higher flow rate.
The meter proof for component 1 flow rate 2 is performed similar to the meter proof for component
1 flow rate 1 except that the DanLoad 6000 is permitted to ramp up and ramp down the flow rate
with the flow control valve. The flow rate during start and stop times is determined by the value of
program code 174 Comp 1 flow rate 1.
Example:
If the flow rate is 200 GPM and the start / stop volumes are 50 gallons, the time at low flow is
approximately 15 seconds during startup and 15 seconds during shutdown. All of the program codes
that in any way affect the flow rates, volumes, or meter factors at lower flow rates must be set to
their normal operational values before conducting meter proofs at higher flow rates. After the rack
meter is proved at the highest flow rate for a component. The values of any of the program codes
that affect meter proofs for that component should not be changed. If it is necessary to re-Prove a
rack meter at a flow rate less than the highest flow rate, re-Prove at all lower flow rates in flow rate
ascending order.
At this point the new meter factor, program code 177 Comp 1 meter factor 2, is within tolerance
and accepted. The next higher flow rate, program code 178 Comp 1 flow rate 3 is used to determine
the meter factor for that flow rate. Assume that flow rate 3 is 600 GPM, the maximum (normal)
loading flow rate for component 1. Set program code 178 Comp 1 flow rate 3 to 600.
The meter proof for component 1 flow rate 3 is performed similar to the meter proof for component
1 flow rate 2.
If the fourth flow rate for component 1 were defined, the meter proof at this flow rate would be
conducted in a similar manner as described above.
Assume at this point that the meter factors for component 1 at flow rates 1, 2, 3, and 4 (as
required) have been determined and entered into program codes 175 / 177 / 179 / 181 (as required).
In order to perform the meter proof or proofs for component 2, component 1 must be disabled and
component 2 enabled. This is accomplished by selecting the previously defined recipe for proving
component 2 (recipe definitions are in the program code group 480 to 661).
The set of from one to four meter proofs, corresponding to flow rates, for component 2 can now
be conducted. Follow the steps described above for meter proof sequences.
The fields contained in the METER PROVING REPORT FOR TANK PROVER METHOD, Figure
5 - 2, are described below.
Field Description
1 Flow rate The flow rate that is set in the program code ccc Comp p flow rate r
corresponding to the meter proof run. Actual flow rate can be
verified by accurately timing the period of delivery to the prover tank
then dividing the volume delivered by the time to deliver. Example:

gallons per minute.

started, equal to 0 at start of delivery.
12 CTLM Correction factor for the effect of temperature on the liquid in the
flow meter, obtained from API MPMS Chapter 11.1 - Table 6 or
Table 24. (Note: CTLM is set to 1.0000 if the pulse input from the
flow meter is temperature compensated in the field, before input to
the DanLoad 6000.)

21 New Meter Factor The new_meter_factor is derived from the meter proof run, obtained
by multiplying the current meter factor by the adjustment.
Test personnel block Lines to document the personnel conducting and witnessing the meter
proof runs, form should be altered as required by your company.
A master meter is a flow meter that is used as a reference standard for volume measurement
comparison with rack meters. The volume measured by the master meter is determined by proving
the master meter with a tank prover. The frequency of meter proofs of the master meter must be
determined by company policy or regional regulations. As a minimum, the master meter should be
proved twice a year. If the master meter is proved in mid spring and mid fall, the measurement
accuracy of the master meter will be approximately adjusted for seasonal temperature changes that
affect the temperature of the products handled. The master meter must be proved on each product
and at the normal delivery flow rate for each product. The set of proofs of the master meter provide
a list of meter factors related to each product / flow rate combination. The corresponding meter
factor is then used in the calculation when proving a rack meter with the same product / flow rate
combination.
A meter proof is performed by the master meter method in the following manner.
# Set the loading system valves to the proper positions so that all flow through the rack meter
to be proved is routed in series with the master meter. Assure that no leakage or bypass paths
are present at either flow meter or interconnecting pipe.
# Connect an electronic prover counter to the raw pulse output of the master meter.
# A meter proof stabilizing run should be performed first to help stabilize the temperature in
the proof meter / master meter circuit. The stabilizing run is a proof run without data
recorded.
# A liquid batch that satisfies the minimum proof batch requirements stated in the definition
of Master Meter Proof at the beginning of this section is defined and delivered to a tank.
# Proof data is gathered and manual calculations are performed to determine the error between
the master meter volume [corrected for temperature (and optionally pressure)] and the and
the proof flow meter registration [corrected for temperature (and optionally pressure)].
# A new meter factor is calculated by dividing the volume measured through the master meter
by the volume registered by the proof flow meter. The measured through the master meter
and the volume registered by the proof flow meter are compensated for the effect of
temperature on the liquid, and optionally compensated for the effect of pressure on the
liquid. If compensation calculation is performed for either the master meter or the proof flow
meter, a similar compensation calculation must be performed for the other flow meter.
# Under delivery: If the flow meter registered delivery volume (Mtr m grs load)
during the proof run is greater than the volume measured by the master meter, the
meter factor value will be decreased to correct the flow meter measurement error.
# Over delivery: If the flow meter registered delivery volume (Mtr m grs load) during
the proof run is less than the volume measured by the master meter, the meter factor
value will be increased to correct the flow meter measurement error.
# The new meter factor, which should always be near 1.0000, is manually entered into the
DanLoad 6000 for the active program code ccc Comp p meter factor f, where ccc is one of
the following program codes: 175 / 177 / 179 / 181 / 186 / 188 / 190 / 192 / 197 / 199 / 201
/ 203 / 208 / 210 / 212 / 214 dependent on the component number p (1 to 4) and the meter
factor number f (1 to 4).
# The prover counter is manually reset to zero and the steps listed above are repeated until the
corrected meter registration is within 0.02 percent of the corrected prover volume.
For this example, assume that the loading system is a two component blender and that each
component is loaded at one of three flow rates [low flow start / stop, fall back, and normal (high)
flow]. Any other configuration, from a one component - one flow rate system to a four component -
four flow rate system is proved in a similar manner by proving each component (flow meter) at
each flow rate, in flow rate ascending order. The component order of proving is not important.
# Make the system mechanically and electrically ready for delivery of a liquid batch through
the master meter by connecting the master meter in series with the rack meter by high
integrity block valves. All flow must pass through both the master meter and the rack meter
no bypass leakage is allowed.
# Connect the master meter to a flow totalizer capable of measuring and displaying indicated
volume units (without internal meter factor or temperature / pressure compensation) to a
resolution of one one-hundredth of a volume unit (such as gallons).
# Select the previously defined recipe for proving component 1 (recipe definitions are in the
program codes 480 to 661).
# Set program code 169 Number of factors/component to 1 to assure that one the low flow rate
is used.
# Verify or set the low flow rate with program code 174.
# At the Loading Display, enter the preset volume as the minimum proving volume required.
# Monitor the volume delivered in the dynamic data display. Press SELECT - 9 - 9 keys to
display item 10 (Mtr 1 grs load n.nn). This volume is the gross uncompensated volume
units delivered, adjusted by the current active meter factor, to hundredths of a volume unit.
# After the delivery is terminated, determine the new meter factor by entering the data in a
copy of the METER PROVING REPORT FOR TANK PROVER METHOD form RUN 1
column.
At this point the new meter factor, program code 175 Comp 1 meter factor 1, is within tolerance
and accepted. The next higher flow rate, program code 176 Comp 1 flow rate 2, is used to
determine the meter factor for that flow rate. Assume that flow rate 2 is 400 GPM, an fall back flow
rate that is used as a fall-back flow rate if the maximum flow rate cannot be maintained. Set
program code 176 Comp 1 flow rate 2 to 400.
Set program code 169 Number of factors/component to 2 at this time to enable flow at the next
higher flow rate. The meter proof for component 1 flow rate 2 is performed similar to the meter
proof for component 1 flow rate 1 except that the DanLoad 6000 is permitted to ramp up and ramp
down the flow rate with the flow control valve. The flow rate during start and stop times is
determined by the value of program code 174 Comp 1 flow rate 1.
Example:
If the flow rate is 200 GPM and the start / stop volumes are 50 gallons, the time at low flow is
approximately 15 seconds during startup and 15 seconds during shutdown. All of the program codes
that in any way affect the flow rates, volumes, or meter factors at lower flow rates must be set to
their normal operational values before conducting meter proofs at higher flow rates. After the rack
meter is proved at the highest flow rate for a component. The values of any of the program codes
that affect meter proofs for that component should not be changed. If it is necessary to re-Prove a
rack meter at a flow rate less than the highest flow rate, re-Prove at all lower flow rates in flow rate
ascending order.
At this point the new meter factor, program code 177 Comp 1 meter factor 2, is within tolerance
and accepted. The next higher flow rate, program code 178 Comp 1 flow rate 3, is used to
determine the meter factor for that flow rate. Assume that flow rate 3 is 600 GPM, the maximum
(normal) loading flow rate for component 1. Set program code 178 Comp 1 flow rate 3, to 600.
The meter proof for component 1 flow rate 3 is performed similar to the meter proof for component
1 flow rate 2.
If the fourth flow rate for component 1 were defined, the meter proof at this flow rate would be
conducted in a similar manner as described above.
Assume at this point that the meter factors for component 1 at flow rates 1, 2 , 3, and 4 (as
required) have been determined and entered into program code 175 / 177 / 179 / 181 (as required).
In order to perform the meter proof or proofs for component 2, component 1 must be disabled and
component 2 enabled. This is accomplished by selecting the previously defined recipe for proving
component 2 (recipe definitions are in program code 480 to 661).
The set of from one to four meter proofs, corresponding to flow rates, for component 2 can now
be conducted. Follow the steps described above for meter proof sequences.
The fields contained in the METER PROVING REPORT FOR MASTER METER METHOD, Figure
5 - 3, are described below.
Field Description
1 Flow rate The flow rate that is set in the program code ccc Comp p flow rate r
corresponding to the meter proof run. Actual flow rate can be
verified by accurately timing the period of delivery then dividing the
volume delivered by the time to deliver. Example: 2010.36 gallons
delivered in 3 minutes 56 seconds equals 564.7 gallons per minute.
6 CTLP Correction factor for the effect of temperature on the liquid in the
master meter, obtained from API MPMS Chapter 11.1 - Table 6 or
Table 24.
8 CPLP Correction factor for the effect of pressure on the liquid in the master
meter, obtained from API MPMS Chapter 11.2.
Field Description
12 Mtr m grs load (Final) The accumulated gross volume units at the end of the rack meter
proof run, obtained from the Dynamic data display - Mtr 1 grs load,
Mtr 2 grs load, Mtr 3 grs load, or Mtr 4 grs load as applicable.
(Note: This value is uncompensated gross volume with the current
active meter factor applied.)
16 CTLM Correction factor for the effect of temperature on the liquid in the
flow meter, obtained from API MPMS Chapter 11.1 - Table 6 or
Table 24. (Note: CTLM is set to 1.0000 if the pulse input from the
flow meter is temperature compensated in the field, before input to
the DanLoad 6000.)
17 Rack Meter Pressure The pressure of the product close to the upstream or downstream side
of the flow meter (usually upstream).
18 CPLM Correction factor for the effect of pressure on the liquid in the rack
meter, usually set to 1.000 and not considered, refer to the API
MPMS for additional information.
19 CCFM Combined correction factor for the rack meter, obtained from
multiplying CTLM times CPLM.
23 Adjustment A calculated number that is used to adjust the current active meter
factor.
Test personnel block Lines to document the personnel conducting and witnessing the meter
proof runs, form should be altered as required by your company.
Program codes 169 to 214 are used to calibrate the DanLoad 6000 for each flow meter, component,
flow rate combination.

This section is specific to RTD inputs and 4-20 mA inputs on the v2 CPU board. The v2 CPU board’s 4-20 mA and RTD inputs each use
two A/D channels on the CPU-2 microcontroller. An input’s overall range is subdivided with low input values handled by the “low” A/D
channel and high input values handled by the “high” A/D channel. The A/D channel to use, and its value, are determined using the
channel’s low and high calibration values. Program codes 984 to 987 are for the 4-20 mA input, and program codes 988 to 991 apply to

__________________________________________________________ DanLoad 6000 (v6.00)
This appendix contains several tables that can be photocopied and used to enter parameter settings
for records of DanLoad 6000 installations. The tables can be used as an aid in generating wire lists
and drawings for the installations.
Daniel drawing BE-18204, Device Linkages - DanLoad 6000, shows the relationship between
system devices, liquid components, and additives. Daniel drawing DE-18201, Program Code to
Device Assignments - DanLoad 6000, shows all devices that can be monitored and controlled by a
DanLoad 6000. In actual installations, only some of the devices will be installed. The program
codes indicated in the drawing are the primary parameters that relate the devices to the proper flow
meter / meter stream. Many additional parameters define and modify the operation of each device.
Use the program codes indicated in the drawing to reference the device parameters Tables A - 11 to
A - 28. These tables contain brief descriptions of the device related parameters. See Section 6 for
a complete description of each parameter.
The flow meter is considered the primary device in the system. All other accessory devices, liquid
components, and additives are assigned to a meter stream by either direct reference or indirect
reference. Interrelations between physical devices, liquid components, and additives are established
in the following manner.
# Any liquid component can flow through any flow meter and from two to four components,
can flow, one at a time, through the same flow meter. This function is the reason that the
meter factors (program codes 169 through 216) are assigned to the components. The meter
factors are automatically applied to the active flow meter when the selected component is
flowing through that flow meter.
# Pumps and block valves for liquid components are enabled specifically for each component
by assigning corresponding physical discrete outputs (and discrete inputs in the case of block
valves). Drawing DE-18201, Program Code to Device Assignments, indicates sequential
numbering of all devices for ease of drawing layout. Note however, if component 1 were
assigned to meter 3 (program code 067 Meter set to 3) then the pump for component 1 (P-1)
and the block valve for component 1 (BV-1) are also assigned to meter stream 3. Actual
device tags and system drawings for each unique installation should show this assignment
correctly.
# Flow rate through any flow meter can be controlled by any one flow control valve and from
two to four flow meters can share the same flow control valve. Drawing DE-18201,
Program Code to Device Assignments, indicates sequential numbering of all devices for ease
of drawing layout. Note however, meter 1 could be assigned to flow control valve 3
(program code 052 Valve to be controlled set to 3) and meter 2 could be assigned to flow
control valve 3 (program code 055 Valve to be controlled set to 3). Actual device tags and
system drawings for each unique installation should show these assignments correctly.
# Resistive temperature devices (RTD), pressure transmitters (PT), and density transmitters
(DT) are enabled specifically for each meter stream by assigning corresponding physical
analog inputs.
# Pumps and block valves for additives are enabled specifically for each additive by assigning
corresponding physical discrete outputs (and discrete inputs in the case of block valves).
Daniel drawing DE-18201, Program Code to Device Assignments - DanLoad 6000, shows
additive injection on each meter stream. In actual installations, additive injection is usually
implemented in the primary component meter stream only.
Tables A - 1a to A - 9 can be used to provide a record of input / output signal assignments. Tables
A - 11 to A - 28 contain lists of all program codes (parameters) organized in device or functional
groups. An overview of the tables is provided below.
Notes:
# Only enabled and applicable program codes in each group are required to be configured.
# * Alarm parameters are set to default values. Some of these values and / or limits may
require adjustment to prevent erroneous alarms.
The following inputs and outputs are fixed and are not reconfigurable.
# Two swing arm status inputs to main processor board (not present on v2 CPU)
# Two high-resolution pulse outputs from 2-channel meter pulse board (only with MPMC
board on 4-channel meter pulse board)
Note
The number of functions that can be assigned to physical discrete input and output channels is
greater than the number of available physical discrete channels. Some logical discrete input
and output functions are mutually exclusive and cannot be active at the same time. The v2
CPU board (1997) has one 4-20 mA input, one RTD input and a DUART built in.
The unit number assigned to each DanLoad 6000 is derived as follows. If the DanLoad 6000
communicates with a data logging device or terminal automation system, each instrument must be
assigned a unit number. This assignment is accomplished by DIP switches located on the DUART
(v1 CPU board) or by program code 662 (v2 CPU board). The range of the unit number is 1 to 255.
A Multi-drop network implemented with the RS-485 port (DUART) has an electrical limit of 32
units to one RS-485 master port. However, the unit numbers of these 32 units can be any unique
number within the range of 1 to 255. If neither communications module is installed, it is advisable
to use the same number range (1 to 255) for unit assignment numbers. Using numbers in this range
may avoid the need to renumber the units if data logging and / or terminal automation system
communications are added in the future.
Input and output signal channel identification numbers can be entered into the tables using the
following channel number labels.
The initial setup procedure should be performed at this time. Section 3 provides information on the
initial setup procedure. After the initial setup procedure has been performed, the assigned physical
hardware channel for each input / output channel can be determined in the following manner. While
operating in the Program Mode, press the ALT+0 key to display the physical hardware
configuration of the instrument. The first display page shows the type of boards installed in slots J1
through J7. Scroll through the I/O assignment display pages using the 9 and 8 arrow keys.
Manually enter the assigned hardware channels indicated in the leftward column of the display pages
into the Assigned Channel column of the corresponding Tables A - 1a through A - 22. Also enter
the DanLoad 6000 Unit number and the physical slot, Jn number, where the board is located. The
number and type of these assigned hardware channels determine the fixed input / output signal
capability of the individual DanLoad 6000.
# Enter the swing arm wiring information into Table A - 8. Enter a descriptive identification
of the loading side, such as north, west, etc.
# Enter the wiring information for the DUART, Table A-9 at this time.
# The final step is to review and record the settings of the applicable program codes listed in
Tables A - 11 to A - 28.
The following two rules apply to assignment of a physical channel to an input or output function:
# The type of input / output signal board for the desired function must be installed in the
DanLoad 6000.
# The physical input or output channel should typically not have been previously assigned to
some other function.
Physical input / output channel assignments are made, while in Program Mode, by using the 9 or
8 arrow key to place the box cursor over a physical channel number (rightward column)
corresponding to a function displayed to the left of the physical channel number. The currently
assigned physical channel identification number, obtained from Tables A - 1a through A - 22, is
then verified or changed. Press the ENTER key to accept the assignment or the CLEAR key to
reject the assignment and re-enter a number. If the entry is a valid assignment, the box cursor

Table A - 10, Base Level Program Codes for Physical Components of the System, contains
information on the primary program codes that enable devices, components, and additives. Several
additional program code settings are required to fully configure the operation of the DanLoad 6000.
These additional program codes are organized in device and functional groups and listed in Tables
A - 11 to A - 28. Several program codes can be listed at several points within one table or can be
listed in more than one table. This multiple listing is done for clarity due to the cross function of
some program codes. In general, program code settings are used to enable and assign devices,
components, and additives in the following manner.
# Program codes define the number of devices, components, and additives in the system. This
definition controls the activation of the correct number of similar parameters dependent on
the number of devices, components, and additives defined.
# Individual program codes for each device, component, and additive configure links or cross
assignments between the devices, components, and additives.
# Individual program codes for each device, component, and additive assign actual physical
input and output signal circuits to the logical devices, components, and additives. With the
exception of meter pulse inputs, high resolution pulse outputs, and swing-arm status inputs,
all input and output signals can be assigned to any available physical circuit of the
corresponding type. (Note: Meter pulse inputs were assignable to meters in Version 3.0 and
below of the DanLoad 6000.)
The minimal device configuration for a DanLoad 6000 is stated below. This configuration is for a
one component sequential blender.
Minimal Configuration
Program code Value
050 Number of meters 1
048 Number of valves 1
052 Valve for meter 1 1
065 Number of components 1
067 Meter for component 1 1
This minimal configuration, though valid, is not typical. Normally, many other parameters will be
configured, such as, a component pump defined by program code 288 Pump control output. The
base DanLoad 6000 has one 4-Channel Meter Pulse board and one AC I/O board. Additional
features such as additive injection control, volume correction for temperature / pressure / density,
and pulse per unit outputs can be enabled as required.
Tables A - 11 to A - 29 contain additional information related to the basic Table A - 10. The
corresponding program codes for each function implemented should be verified during initial setup
of the DanLoad 6000. Section 6 of the manual contains detailed descriptions of each program code.

Instructions
This appendix contains three main procedures (1-3) and six sub-procedures (A-F) for configuring
the Daniel DanLoad 6000 electronic preset for LPG loading. The three main procedures are:
- 1) Temperature correction,
- 2) Pressure correction, and
- 3) Pressure control.
Start with the page titled "LPG Loading Configuration Checklist" below. Follow the applicable main
procedures (following the sub-procedures as directed in the text) and check individual steps "X"
when complete or mark "N/A".
NOTE: The best way to configure the dynamic data display is to write down the data
codes you require as you encounter them in the procedures and sub-procedures and
configure the dynamic data display pages (program code 680, etc.) at the end.
The DanLoad 6000 should not be placed into operation until all applicable procedures have been
completed.
Configure K-factors, meter factors, flow rates, delivery parameters, safety circuits, recipes, etc. based
on the user's requirements.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If temperature correction is required, i.e. standard quantity corrected for temperature, perform
procedure 1) TEMPERATURE CORRECTION.
+)),
.................................................................................................... .))-
If pressure correction is required, i.e. standard quantity corrected for pressure, perform procedure 2)
PRESSURE CORRECTION.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If flow control based on pressure is required, i.e. flow control valve "pinch back", perform procedure
3) PRESSURE CONTROL.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Discuss any outstanding questions concerning local safety practices or use of the equipment with the
user.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Verify field wiring using the DanLoad 6000's "Diagnostics"/"Inputs/Outputs" option in the program
mode menu.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the dynamic data display pages (program code 680, etc.) using the data codes specified
in the procedures and sub-procedures that you have followed.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Verify the DanLoad 6000's valve control, standard quantity computations and dynamic data display
values (press the "SELECT" key while in the loading display) by loading "small" batches.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
***
1) TEMPERATURE CORRECTION
Configure a temperature correction option per component (program codes 432, 435, etc.). The
temperature correction option selected depends on the user's operational requirements. “TP-16" is
typically used in the United States.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
When "Linear", "6C" or "54C" is selected, the component's alpha (program codes 433, 436, etc.),
which is its coefficient of thermal expansion per the configured temperature units, must be
configured.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the dynamic data display (program code 680, etc.) so that the CTL factor per meter (data
codes 126, 127, etc.) and the combined correction factor per meter (data codes 9, 26, etc.) are
displayed. (You may wish simply to write down the data codes you require and configure the
dynamic data display pages at the end.)
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
***
2) PRESSURE CORRECTION
3) PRESSURE CONTROL
Determine the pinch back method from the user's requirements. Configure the pinch back method
(program code 820). +)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Sw.", i.e. pressure switches are used, configure a close input per flow
control valve (program codes 296, 301, etc.).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Test the pressure switch per valve via inputs/outputs diagnostic.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Sw.", adjust the pressure switches per valve to be closed when there is
sufficient pressure to load and open otherwise.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Pm" or "Pd" perform procedure B) PRESSURE INPUTS.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Pm" configure the pinch back pressure (program code 821) to be the
static pressure below which pressure control adjustments will be made to the flow control valve.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Pd" configure the pinch back pressure (program code 821) to be the
differential pressure below which pressure control adjustments will be made to the flow control
valve.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the pinch back method is "Pd", i.e. valve control based on differential pressure, and the PT type
(program code 818) is "Pm", i.e. static pressure transmitters, perform procedure D) VAPOR
PRESSURE METHOD since Pd = Pm - Pe must be computed.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the unit type (program code 26) is "In-line", configure the ramp down percentage (program code
711) to a suitable percentage of the configured high flow rate. (There is one high flow rate per
recipe.)
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the unable to ramp down alarm so that a failure of the flow rate to decrease can be
detected and acted on (program code 276 and 277).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
NOTE: If you experience “pressure failure” alarms right at the start of a batch, you
may want to consider setting the pinch back quantity (program code 823). See
Section 6.
***
A) TEMPERATURE INPUTS
NOTE: This procedure is for 100S RTD inputs ("live" temperatures) or backup
temperatures.
Configure an appropriate temperature failure alarm action (program code 238). The default value,
i.e. "Primary", is usually acceptable. However, if loading is to continue with backup temperatures
(program codes 434, 437, etc.) when the temperature goes out of range during a batch, set the
temperature failure alarm action to "Info" and enter backup temperatures (program code 434, 437,
etc.).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure appropriate minimum and maximum temperatures (program codes 239 and 240) for
temperature failure alarms, i.e. slightly below and above the temperatures that should be measured
during normal operation.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure an RTD input for each meter (program codes 318, 324, etc.). When 3-wire RTD's are
being used (not recommended) it may be necessary to compute a "resistance offset" (program code
319, 325, etc.) using a high-spec 100S resistor.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the dynamic data display (program code 680, etc.) so that the current temperature per
meter (data codes 74, 80, etc.) and the average temperature per component (data code 75, 81, etc.)
are displayed. (You may wish simply to write down the data codes you require and configure the
dynamic data display pages at the end.)
***
B) PRESSURE INPUTS
Configure appropriate minimum and maximum pressures (program codes 244 and 245, using
pressure units appropriate to the pressure correction option being used) for pressure failure alarms,
i.e. slightly below and above the pressures that should be measured even when there is no batch in
progress.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure a pressure input for each meter (program codes 320, 326, etc.).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the pressure transmitter type, i.e. static or differential pressure (program code 818).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Calibrate the pressure inputs by configuring the pressures corresponding to 4 mA and 20 mA per
meter (program codes 464 and 465, 468 and 469, etc. using pressure units appropriate to the pressure
correction option being used) using the information marked on the pressure transmitter.
Configure the dynamic data display (program code 680, etc.) so that the current pressure per meter
(data codes 135, 136, etc.) and the average pressure per component (data code 108, 110, etc.) are
displayed. (You may wish simply to write down the data codes you require and configure the
dynamic data display pages at the end.)
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
***
Configure a suitable sample quantity (program code 431) for temperature and/or pressure correction,
i.e. standard quantity computation. This should be sufficiently small to allow good average
temperatures and pressures to be computed, but should not be less than the quantity which flows in
one second of any component at its highest flow rate. This quantity does not affect temperature and
pressure sampling for alarm and "pressure maintenance" purposes.
WARNING: If the sample quantity (program code 431) is too large the standard
quanties computed by the DanLoad 6000 will not be correct.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
***
Configure the vapor pressure (Pe) method (program code 819) based on the user's requirements,
industry standards or local standards. “TP-15" is typically used in the United States. The vapor
pressure is required in order to compute the differential pressure (Pm - Pe) which is used for pressure
correction (computation of standard quantity) and (optionally) for valve control (program code 820).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the vapor pressure method is "Const Pe" enter the fixed vapor pressure per component (program
codes 446, 449, etc.).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the vapor pressure method is "2 point" enter two known temperature and vapor pressure pairs
(program codes 824 through 827).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the vapor pressure method is "3 point" enter three known temperature and vapor pressure pairs
(program codes 824 through 829).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If the vapor pressure method is "Hillburn" enter the known vapor pressure at 100°F per component
(program codes 446, 449, etc.).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the atmospheric pressure (program code 822). The "standard" atmospheric pressure for
the printed TP-16 tables is 14.7 psia. The actual atmospheric pressure allows the component's vapor
pressures to be computed most accurately.
***
E) PRESET/DELIVERY TYPE
Configure the preset/delivery type (program code 80) to be "Gross" or "Std" based on the user's
requirements.
WARNING: The gross quantity the volume actually occupied by the product at the
(average) measured temperature. The standard quantity, i.e. the temperature and
pressure corrected quantity, is "equivalent" to mass (weight), i.e. weight in pounds
= net volume in gallons x density in pounds per gallon.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the delivery display type (program code 81) to be "Gross" or "Std" based on the user's
requirements. (The determines whether the gross loaded quantity or the standard loaded quantity is
displayed during a batch.)
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
***
F) DENSITIES/GRAVITIES
Configure the density/gravity scale (program code 46) to allow densities/gravities to be formatted
correctly for display, printing, and calculation, i.e. 1 for kg/m3 (format 9999.9), 2 for °API (format
999.99), 4 for kg/L or relative density (format 9.9999).
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
If 4-20 mA density transmitters are to be used (not necessary if the density at standard conditions is
a constant), set the density/gravity option per component (program codes 456, 458, etc.) to "On"
(DanLoad 6000 v4.00 and below) or "DT" (DanLoad 6000 v4.06 and above), configure appropriate
minimum and maximum densities/gravities (program codes 242 and 243) for density failure alarms,
i.e. slightly below and above the densities that should be measured during normal operation,
configure the densities corresponding to 4 mA and 20 mA per meter (program codes 466 and 467,
470 and 471, etc.), and configure a density input per meter (program codes 321, 327, etc.)
If density transmitters are not to be used (or if a backup density is required for any other reason)
configure the backup density/gravity per component (program codes 457, 458, etc.). The
density/gravity at "standard conditions" for the required temperature and pressure correction options
should be entered, e.g. relative density 60°F/60°F for GPA TP-16 and API Table 11.2.2.
+)),
.....................................................................................................))-
Configure the dynamic data display (program code 680, etc.) so that the current density/gravity per
meter (data codes 143, 144, etc.) and the average density/gravity per component (data code 107, 109,
etc.) are displayed. (You may wish simply to write down the data codes you require and configure
the dynamic data display pages at the end.)

Use the following procedure for returning equipment to the Daniel factory in the United States.
A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained prior to returning any
equipment for any reason.
To obtain a RMA number, call the Customer Service Department at 713-827-5033 between 8:00
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time), Monday through Friday, except holidays or email
daniel.support@emersonprocess.com.
No product returns will be accepted without a RMA number and will be returned at the
customer’s expense.
For warranty consideration, the product must be returned to Daniel within twelve (12) months
of the date of original shipment or within eighteen (18) months of the date of original shipment
of the product to destinations outside the United States. The Purchaser must prepay any
shipping charges.
In addition, the Purchaser is responsible for insuring any product shipped for return, and assumes
the risk of loss of the product during shipment.
• A RMA number is required for each original order. (Example: Two fittings purchased on
two separate orders now being returned require two RMA numbers.)
For product returns from locations outside the United States, Daniel Customer Service
personnel will provide additional shipping requirements.
Step 2 Cleaning and Decontamination
Prior to shipment, thoroughly clean and decontaminate all equipment removing all foreign
substances. This includes all substances used for cleaning the equipment. The cleaning and
decontamination requirement applies to any part exposed to process fluids or cleaning substances.
Shipping equipment that has not been decontaminated may be in violation of U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations. For your reference, the requirements for packaging and labeling
hazardous substances are listed in DOT regulations 49 CFR 172, 178, and 179.
If you suspect that a part has been contaminated, the part must be completely drained and flushed
to remove contaminants.
Follow appropriate handling instructions for accessing pressurized equipment. Avoid contact
with hazardous materials or contaminated units and parts. Failure to do so may result in death
or serious injury.
Decontamination/Cleaning Statement
If the equipment has been exposed to a known hazardous substance with any characteristic that can
be identified in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR 261.20 through 261.24, the chemical
abstracts number and hazardous waste number/hazard code must be stated in the space provided on
the form.
Provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) with the returned equipment for each substance that
has come in contact with the equipment being returned, including substances used for
decontamination and cleaning.
Step 4 Packaging
To meet DOT requirements for identifying hazardous substances, ship only one device per package.
Devices being returned may be shipped together in one package, if there is no potential of foreign
substance contamination.
Step 5 Shipping
No product returns will be accepted without a RMA number and will be returned at the
customer’s expense.
For warranty consideration, the product must be returned to Daniel within twelve (12) months
of the date of original shipment or within eighteen (18) months of the date of original shipment
of the product to destinations outside the United States. The Purchaser must prepay any
