1 N2 EIM Overview
The Equipment Interface Module (EIM) was designed as a master CAN bus device for the Schlumberger
CoilCAT data acquisition system but it will also function as N2 EIM on a nitrogen pump when configured
for N2 mode. This document describes the procedure for installing and configuring the EIM as N2 EIM on
a nitrogen pump unit.

N2 EIM performs the following functions:

• Serves as operator’s monitor panel to displays main working parameters of an N2 pump. It monitors
N2 flow rate based on the pump speed, N2 total volume, N2 pressure, and N2 temperature.

• Serves as a safety device that shuts the pump down when a pre-set N2 discharge pressure limit is
exceeded (overpressure shutdown feature).

• Transfers the monitored parameters to CoilCAT acquisition system via SDS/CAN bus.

1.1 Parameters monitored and units of measure:

3.2 Electrical Installation:


1. Prepare suitable cabling as per wiring schematic shown in Appendix B and thread them in the
cable glands.

Note: If the N2 EIM is being installed on unit rated for use in a Zone 2 hazardous area then use cable
glands and connectors that are approved for use in Zone 2 and appropriate for the cable used.

2. Connect wires according to the wiring schematic and the wiring assignment tables below.

The actual sensor wiring connection may vary from unit to unit depending on the kind of sensor
used to sense N2 pump speed.
Appendix B contains N2 EIM wiring schematics for the following:
1) Rev L and above EIM Boards used with a NPN type proximity switch rate sensor.
2) Rev L and above EIM Boards used with a PNP type proximity switch rate sensor.
3) Rev a through j EIM Boards used with a NPN type proximity switch rate sensor.

Note: Older installations using Rev L and above EIM boards must rewire the proximity sensor to
match the wiring as in 1 or 2 above and update the firmware to 3.14x or higher.

WARNING: If the EIM has a wire installed between terminals J1-9 and J15-1 (See Appendix B
wiring Schematic) then this wire MUST be removed when used as a N2 EIM. Failure to remove
this wire can cause damage beyond repair.

A proximity switch is usually used to sense N2 pump speed. There are three basic types of
proximity sensors that can be used with the N2 EIM:
1. Three wire PNP proximity sensor.
2. Three wire NPN proximity sensor.
3. Two wire proximity sensor.
The three wire NPN and Two wire type proximity sensors require a 5k ohm pull up resistor to be
installed as shown in Appendix B (section 8.1)
If a magnetic pickup is used, its signal needs to be routed through an additional signal
amplifier/conditioner with the square wave output (12V peak-to-peak recommended).

3. Reconnect the keypad.

4. Reconnect and mount the LCD screen.

9.1 Calculating Rate K factor


Where:
• 93.12 Standard cubic feet per gallon of nitrogen
• Plunger Diameter in inches
• Stroke length in inches
• Pump containing three cylinders
• 90% volumetric efficiency
• Pulses taken at pump shaft.

To calculate standard cubic feet per revolution for a triplex nitrogen pump:
2
SCF/Rev. = (Plunger diameter) x (Stroke Length) x .85484
To calculate K factor (Kf) for the N2 EIM in SCF per pulse for a triplex nitrogen pump:

SCF per Rev.


Kf =
Number of poles per Rev.

Enter the calculated Kf into the N2 Rate K factor menu in Section 4.3.3

9.2 Calculating N2 Pressure Offset


The Offset is the value that adjusts the zero value for nitrogen pressure.

To calculate the Pressure Offset for a 4-20 mA sensor, use the following equation:

Offset = - Pmax / 4

Where: Pmax is the maximum pressure that corresponds to 20mA signal.

Example: For 0-15000 psi 4-20 mA pressure transducer Offset = - (15000 / 4) = - 3750.

9.3 Calculating N2 Pressure K factor


To calculate the Pressure Kf, use the following equation:

Kf = (Pmax - offset) * 1.03046 / 65535

Where: Pmax is the maximum pressure that corresponds to the 20mA signal.

1.03046 is a correction factor for the EIM A/D converter.

65535 is a decimal equivalent of maximum digital output value of a 16-bit A/D converter.

Example: For 0-15000 psi 4-20 mA pressure transducer, Kf = (15000 + 3750)*1.03046/65535 =0.29482

9.4 N2 Temperature Offset


TemperatureOffset is the temperature reading that corresponds to a 0 mA signal.

For a 0-300 F 4-20 mA temperature transducer, the offset is -75 F. This can be determined from the
transducer data sheet.

9.5 Calculating N2 Temperature K factor


To calculate the Temperature Kf, use the following equation:

Temperature Kf = (Tmax - offset)*1.03046/65535

Where: Tmax is the temperature that corresponds to 20mA Temperature sensor signal.

1.03046 is a correction factor of an A/D converter

65535 is a decimal equivalent of maximum digital output value of a 16-bit A/D converter
