System Overview

The MeterNet solution, a technically innovative concept by
Stephen Gillespie Consultants Ltd., brings a new dimension to metering computer system design.

MeterNet introduces state of the art technology to replace the conventional system structure of proprietary flowcomputers and associated database computer.

MeterNet comprises of the SGC Meteor, the SGC Integrator and the SGC MeterNet I/0 system configured as an integrated package.

MeterNet utilises the latest PC and distributed I/O technology to provide a flexible, scalable solution, compliant with the principles and standards mandatory for Fiscal measurement.

Basic Architecture

The system operator interface is via the Meteor HMI where all flowcomputational parameters as well as MSC functions can be accessed, viewed, controlled or modified. Control functions and modification of parameters are subject to password control.

The Integrator provides a near limitless, multi-stream metering application, resident on a single PC. Redundancy is provided by duplication of the metering application on a “stand-by” PC with flow calculations executing simultaneously.

The MeterNet I/0 system provides the direct interface to all field instrumentation and equipment. Duplicated I/O systems can be provided for increased redundancy.
