Power for the Toughest
Applications. The
ROC364 Remote Operations
Controller (ROC) is a powerful
microprocessor-based
remote measurement and
control device. It is ideal
for medium to high point-
count applications requiring
sophisticated measurement
and control capability. The
ROC364 incorporates many
outstanding features that
make it easy to use, easy to
customize to the application,
and cost-effective for current
and future needs.
Easy to Use. The ROC364
features versatile rmware
that makes complex
calculations, like those for gas
ow measurement, simple
to implement. Both 1985
and 1992 versions of AGA
Reports No. 3 and 7 as well as
AGA Reports No. 8 and NX-
19 are supported. Likewise,
sophisticated PID loop control
and logic sequencing control
Easy to Customize. The ROC364 offers integrators
a choice of native ROC, MODBUS, or custom
communication protocols for seamless integration
into new or existing automation systems. Polled,
spontaneous report-by-exception, peer-to-peer,
and master-slave communication strategies are
incorporated.
schemes can be implemented without programming.
Engineers and operators can congure and operate
the ROC364 easily from a laptop computer. These
same activities can be performed in a host-based
system, because the ROC364 is supported by leading
software suppliers including Cygnet
TM
,

Intellution

,
USDATA

, and Wonderware

to name just a few.

The ROC364 Remote Operations Controller provides performance and versatility for
applications ranging from basic flow measurement to compressor control.

Modular and Expandable. Modular design
makes the ROC364 cost-effective because it can be
adapted to your changing needs. Up to 64 I/O points
are accommodated with plug-in single-point modules
that can be used in any combination of typesyou buy
only what you need, when you need it.
Also available is a xed 32-point I/O card that replaces
the I/O modules and module racks. Only one I/O card
can be used with the ROC364.
In addition to an operator interface port, one or
two plug-in communication cards extend your
communication options to a host, other ROCs, or
specialized equipment. EIA-232, EIA-422/485, radio
modem, leased-line modem, or dial-up modem
options are available.
For ease of software upgrades, the operating system
and applications rmware reside in a FlashPAC
memory module that can be re-programmed in the
eld.
Proven Technology. Low power consumption
and a wide operating temperature range make the
ROC364 suitable for solar-powered installations. Built-
in self diagnostics and a watchdog timer help protect
your application from erroneous outputs and aid
troubleshooting.
Ruggedness is a requirement for eld equipment and
the ROC364 meets the challenge with its heavy-gauge
steel enclosure, MIL-SPEC circuit boards, and gold-
plated connectors. Limited surge protection is built
into I/O modules and communication cards.
Exceptional Value. The ROC364 offers exceptional
value that can be measured in terms of high return
on investment, reduced product obsolescence, and a
fully-dened migration path to the future.
Specification Summary.
Input/Output
I/O Modules: One to 16 I/O modules plug into
one-to-four module racks. Modules can be
any combination of these types: discrete input
and output; analog input and output; pulse
input; RTD input; relay output; HART

Interface; and smart modules.
I/O Card: One 32-point I/O card can be used
with a ROC364 exclusive of module racks.
Communications
Ports: One EIA-232 port for operator interface
is standard. Two additional ports are available
using any of these plug-in card types: EIA-232,
EIA-422/485, radio modem, leased-line
modem, dial-up modem.
Protocols: ROC, Modbus, and other protocols
are available.
Local Display Panel: A local display panel for
viewing key ROC parameters and data points
is available.
Applications
AGA gas measurement for ve meter runs.
PID control with override for 16 loops.
Logic/sequencing control using up to 4
Function Sequence Tables (FSTs).
Compliance
AGA-3 and AGA-8 (version 1992); AGA-3 and
AGA-8 or NX-19 (version 1985); AGA-7.
Approvals
Approved by CSA for hazardous locations
