Installation Notes

If you have a support agreement, the new ACM version can be downloaded by using the monthly login credentials received from your sales representative.  For more details, please contact us today.   

Components from ACM 8 cannot be combined with components from ACM 7.

New Security Options

ACM now provides security options to control access to ACM from the desktop configuration program and from the mobile app. This also includes an option to control whether administrator accounts have access to ACM.

When security is enabled and this option is not selected, it is possible to configure users and roles such that all users are locked out of the server or that no users can change the configuration.

ACM now supports Dynamic Flow Computers MicroMP3 Modbus with EFM

Features Added

GC Write Service

All Protocols

BSAP Protocol

DNP3 Protocol

When a Meter Configuration object (the Advanced Configuration assigned to the Meter object) is used to publish meter configuration data, the fields below now use predefined constants for the "Constant" and "Rule" options. For the CSV publisher, that means that these values will be published as the text strings "Yes"/"No" (or "Wet"/"Dry"/"AsDelivered" for RelativeDensitySaturationCondition) if translation is used, and as numeric codes if translation is not used. For the XML publisher, all of the fields below will be now published within the <Common> node, rather than the <Extended> node as some of them were before:
FlowingPressureEffectEnabled, Live Analysis, Live BTU, Live Gravity, Live Temperature, HasDefaultTemperature, UseRTD, FwvFactorUsed, FwvsFactorUsed, HasRTD, TemperatureCompensated, PressureCompensated, FactorFa, FactorFb, FactorFg, FactorFpv, FactorFr, FactorFt, FactorFwv, FactorY, RelativeDensitySaturationCondition

Flow Automation Protocol

The CFX publisher will now show valid data for GC data in the meter configuration section where previously it was invalid.

Micro MP3 Protocol

ROC Protocol

If the new option "Combine data from all segments into the same archive records" is selected and the user has a meter mapped with fields in different segments, then the fields will be combined into the same record.

For ROC meter configuration, more units (such as differential pressure units, uncorrected volume units) will be output.

Published output will only be affected if customers map the new Ultrasonic EFM IDs to historized points.

SCADAPack Protocol

Historical batch records can now be published.

Teledyne CA Protocol

Totalflow Protocol

Publishing

When the new token is used in a path or file name of the CSV publisher, the CSV output will be split into multiple files and/or folders according to the field value.

Some events that were not previously published as CFX events now will be.

The timestamp of gas quality records will be published according to the PGAS XML setting.

TCP Listen Connection

Issues Addressed

Archive Management

General

OPC Client

BSAP Protocol

DF1 Protocol

DNP3 Protocol

Flow Automation Protocol

FlowX Protocol

Hex Repeater Protocol

ROC Protocol

When the archive limit is set to zero, all records will be returned.

This corrects an issue where some history point mappings can lead to sporadic partial history records.

Romet-Adem Protocol

Publishing

Flow Time will now be included in CFX8 batch records.
