    The proper use of tools, lifting and transport equipment. WARNING The electronic parts of the ELBS-20 and all the options can be damaged by a discharge of static electricity. Before you start, touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
  • Page 9: Terms And Conditions

    June 2021 Terms and Conditions Biffi Italia guarantees each single product to be free from defects and to conform to current goods specifications. The warranty period is one year from the date of installation by the first user, or eighteen months from the date of shipment to the first user, whichever occurs first.
  • Page 10: Section 3: Storage

    In order to maintain these characteristics until the ELBS-20 is installed on site, proper attention must be observed for preservation during the storage period.
  • Page 11: Section 4: Device Description

    Analog Inputs (Pressure and Position Sensors) The ELBS-20 is provided with two (Pressure and Position) configurable (0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA) analog inputs (AI). The ELBS-20 supplies a 14.5 V DC voltage to the sensors. Digital Inputs (Opto-isolated) The ELBS-20 is provided with three configurable opto-isolated Digital Inputs (DI).
  • Page 12 The SOV Control Outputs can be used also to drive a contactor of an electrical actuator (no SOVs required) to stroke the line valve to the fail-safe position. The ELBS-20 provides also the possibility to use DO1 and DO2 as SOVs Control Outputs. Integrity Check of the Safety Action Electrical Circuit The ELBS-20 allows monitoring the status of the Safety Action Electrical Circuits (dedicated SOV Control Output + Coil + Wiring Connection).

  • Page 25 (1, 2, 3, 4 and 6) are not stored in the data memory but in case of EVENTS 2, 4 and 6 the ELBS-20 sends a command to the actuator to stroke the valve to the fail-safe position (Safety Action).
  • Page 26 "event data memory". The Event 6 represents a Line Break that creates a pressure drop rate higher than the pipeline curve behavior present in the ELBS-20 memory. In this case, if the ELBS-20 is in VC or VC+ACQ operating mode, the actuator is controlled in order to stroke the pipeline valve in the fail position.
  • Page 27 "Memory 90%" is set to "On", a warning informs about the need to discharge the memory content in a portable PC in order to allow the ELBS-20 restarting its pipeline survey. The content of the "event data memory" can be used to build-up the pipeline pressure curve relevant to the period of survey, as shown in the figure below.
  • Page 28: Table Of Operating Modes

    No pressure, position and Battery Packs voltages measurement. No data acquisition and Safety Action. The local operator interface is still available. The ELBS-20 measures the Power Supply sources, the pressure and the position (if "enabled") with a time equal to Slow Sampling (SLOW) "Slow Sampling Rate"...
  • Page 29: Details Of The Valve Control Operating Mode

    Safety Action is performed and the test is finished. The event generated during the Self-Test routine is not stored. At the end of the test (both if interrupted and if Safety Action is performed) the ELBS-20 goes to the SLOW operating mode.
  • Page 30 If DO1 and DO2 Digital Outputs are used as SOV Control Outputs (see Section 6.2), the “Duration” parameter has no effect on them. DO1 and DO2 commute for initiating the Safety Action and it is necessary to set the ELBS-20 in VC or VC+ACQ Operating Mode to restore their initial status (see Section 11).
  • Page 31: Examples Of Pressure Drop Rate Control

    The AO is disabled (0 mA transmission) during the execution of the Safety Action. After the execution of the Safety Action the ELBS-20 goes to the Slow Sampling Operating Mode and for exiting from this status it is necessary to “manually” change the operating mode by using the available interfaces.

  • Page 37: Analog Output (Pressure Or Position Retransmission)

    5.2.3 Analog Output (Pressure or Position Retransmission) The ELBS-20 is provided with a configurable 4 - 20 mA analog output (AO). The AO can be used for the retransmission of the Pressure or Position measured by the AI. The AO can accept an external 24 V DC power supply or internally generate the 24 V DC, necessary for the 4 - 20 mA signal (see Section 9.1 for details about terminals).
  • Page 38: Analog Input - Pressure Transducer

    5.2.6 Analog Input - Pressure Transducer The ELBS-20 is provided with a configurable (0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA) analog input (AI1) dedicated to the Pressure Transducers. The ELBS-20 supplies a 14.5 V DC voltage to the Pressure Transducer.

    If the Integrity Check fails on every enabled SOV Control Output the SAEC Alarm becomes active (see Section 6.4), the ELBS-20 goes to the SLOW Operating Mode, the Automatic Integrity Check is no more performed and it is necessary to clear this alarm and to manually set the desired Operating Mode.

    8.3.1 Modbus RS485 Transmission Mode The ELBS-20 Modbus RTU module uses a half-duplex, multidrop, serial communication line RS485. The module communicates with the masters via RS485 interface. Transmission speed from 600 bit/sec to 38400 bit/sec is available. One unique transmission speed is allowed for all devices on the bus when the system works.
  • Page 76 Ground Ground The Modbus RTU interface takes its electrical supply from the ELBS-20 power supply. The RS485 bus transceiver is isolated from the “other” electronics. The bus termination, located inside the device, should be used only if the device is at the beginning or at the end of the bus segment and if there is no external termination.

    This example shows the ELBS-20 used as a “stand-alone” device. • The ELBS-20 is not connected to any other equipment (DCS, Logic Solver, PLC, etc.). • External Power Supply is not available and the ELBS-20 uses the Battery Pack as power supply.

    External Power Supply is available (the Battery Pack is used as back up). • The ELBS-20 monitors both the pressure (external pressure transducer) and the position (external position sensor). • The ELBS-20 manages two “standard” SOVs (Relay contacts are used) to initiate the Safety Action.

  • Page 103: Section 10: Installation - Start-Up

    June 2021 Section 10: Installation – Start-Up If ordered as part of an actuator, the factory mounts the ELBS-20 device together with the actuator, makes connections (pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical) to the actuator, sets up and calibrates the instrument. If ELBS-20 device is purchased separately, see the following instructions for mounting the ELBS-20 device.

    Verify that the fixing elements (screws, nuts etc.) used for fastening the ELBS-20 cabinet can sustain at least four times the weight of the ELBS-20 unit; Example: for the EJB-51 cabinet (Al) the fixing elements must be able to sustain at least 160 kg.
  • Page 105: Cables And Electrical Connections

    National Standards or the Regulatory Authorities that have certified the ELBS-20s. Method of sealing and cable glands must be approved and separately certified for use in hazardous areas. The ELBS-20 enclosure must be connected to the EARTH trough the External EARTH stud. Figure 27 External EARTH Stud For the earth connection of the cables dedicated DIN RAIL TERMINALS are provided.
  • Page 106: Cables Requirements - Emc Protection

    10.4.2 Cables Requirements – EMC Protection The table below resumes the specifications of the cables, for connecting with the ELBS-20. Particularly there is indicated if a cable needs to be armoured or shielded. “Shielded” must be considered as a more strict condition than “Armoured”.
  • Page 107: Wires Dimensions

    Configure the SLEEP Operating Mode. This operation must be performed before connecting the ELBS-20 (pneumatic or hydraulic and electrical connections) for avoiding that the ELBS-20 is in an operating mode that can cause a not desired Safety Action (VC or VC + ACQ).
  • Page 108 Set the Operating Mode as SLOW. The ELBS-20 cannot perform the Safety Action, but it can read the signals of the sensors.
  • Page 109: Position Limits Calibration (Optional)

    This procedure allows the ELBS-20 to accept a tolerance on the retransmission current corresponding to the position limits. If this procedure it is not performed the ELBS-20 considers 0 mA – 20 mA or 4 mA – 20 mA (according with the “Pos. Signal” setting) as current values corresponding to the position limits (Fully Closed and Fully Open).
  • Page 110: Section 11: Restore Valve Control

    MAN712 Rev. 9 Section 11: Restore Valve Control After the execution of the Safety Action (see Section 5.1.2.7), the ELBS-20 enters in the Slow Sampling (SLOW) Operating Mode. The ELBS-20 cannot initiate another Safety Action, if the Valve Control conditions are not restored.
