ROC800-Series Instruction Manual
Revised Jul-14
General Information
1-1
Chapter 1 – General Information
This manual focuses on the hardware aspects of the ROC809 and
ROC827 Remote Operations Controllers – also known as the ROC800-
Series controllers (“ROC800”) – and the ROC800-Series expansion
backplanes (“EXPs”), that attach
only
to the ROC827 and provide
increased I/O capabilities.
For technical information on the ROC800s, refer to the technical
specifications
ROC800:800
, and
ROC800:FW1
(available at
www.EmersonProcess.com/Remote ). For information about the software
you use to configure the ROC800-Series, refer to the
ROCLINK

Configuration Software User Manual
(for ROC800-Series)
(Part
Number D301250X012).
ROC800L
This manual also discusses the hardware for the ROC800L, a
ROC800-Series device that is factory-loaded with specific firmware
and software designed to measure and manage the flow of liquid
hydrocarbons.
For technical information on the ROC800L, refer to the technical
specifications
ROC800:800L,
and
ROC800:SW1.
For information about
the software you use to configure the ROC800L, refer to the
ROCLINK
800 Configuration Software User Manual
(for ROC800L)
(Part Number
D301246X012).
ROC800 or
ROC800L?
The ROC800-Series are principally designed to measure the flow of
natural gas in accordance with AGA and other standards. Firmware
and user programs enhance that functionality.
To meet market demands, Remote Automation Solutions initially
developed user programs to perform flow calculations for certain
liquids. These programs grew to encompass flow and volume
corrections for most liquid hydrocarbons (as defined by the API in the
Manual for Petroleum Measurement Systems, or MPMS). Finally, to
modularize these capabilities and ensure the integrity of the AGA
calculations, we developed a suite of user programs enabled by a license
key.
This chapter details the structure of this manual and provides an
overview of the ROC800 and its components.
