CHAPTER 9 GAS METER PREPARATION PROGRAM (GPREP) The Gas Meter Preparation Program (GPrep) is a software tool that facilitates Cellnet processes. It also runs with water CPR modules. The data captured by GPrep is sent to RIMS to update the Cellnet and utilities databases.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF processes. This chapter assumes that the user fully understands these O&M processes, and at which steps in these processes GPrep captures data and programs it into Cellnet modules. GPrep requires selective functionality depending on the site where it is in use, so there are administrative privileges for configuring options during software installation and setup.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF REQUIRED TOOLS The following is a list of required tools to operate GPrep, along with a PC / operating system recommendation: • Desktop PC with Windows 2000 or higher (Windows NT is not recommended when using a laptop computer since there are sometimes problems configuring the ports) • Copy of GPrep v. 2.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF • If this is an upgrade, then you can use the existing GPREP.INI file to modify any configuration parameters as necessary. b Edit the GPREP.INI file using Notepad or any other ASCII file editor. c Follow the instructions in that file to specify the required pattern for Meter IDs, file(s) for logging operations, menu selections that are available to the operator and the maximum memory used to track previous log file associations.

d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF USING GPREP This section details the steps taken by the end user to operate GPrep on a daily basis. This set of procedures assumes the following: • Your GPrep administrator has configured the .ini file. • You have basic knowledge of the process that you are trying to perform and understand at which step of the process you need to use GPrep.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF Logging On The Log On window displays when you launch the program. Enter your name and location in the appropriate fields. All tasks you perform for a given meter type (module inspection, new module programming and old module reprogramming, MRB and index read) will be recorded. Figure 9.3 Log On screen Accessing the Main Menu The main menu screen displays after you log on. Figure 9.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF • Inspect: Verifies that the programmed LAN Address has the same value as the Power LAN Address label. In addition, “Inspect” permits validating the other pre‐configured operational parameters. Discrepancies are noted through message windows and the results of inspections are captured in associated files. The unique meter ID format for a given utility is defined in the “.ini” file.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF Figure 9.5 Choose ResGas as the meter type Figure 9.6 Indicate the Program Type Figure 9.7 Modes to choose from are “Inspect” or “Program New” • Control: provides the capability to log on and off. The program setting remains the same when a new operator logs on. • Help: provides a description of GPrep functionality for each mode of operation (not yet fully implemented).
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF MODULE INSPECTION This feature is most commonly used when receiving meters from the factory with Cellnet modules already installed (OEM Meters) or when receiving Cellnet modules from Cellnet’s manufacturer. Different utilities use different sampling procedures. Cellnet recommends that the meter shop verify a percentage of inbound modules to ensure that the LAN Address that is programmed into the module matches the LAN Address on the outside of the module housing.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF The lower section, “ current parameters”, displays the operational parameters and module programmed values. 2 Connect the shooter cable to the module programming port. The following screen displays. Figure 9.9 “Inspect Mode” Screen With Module Plugged In GPrep automatically reads and displays the current parameters programmed into the module.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF 3 Scan (enter) the Module ID in LAN Address field. Figure 9.10 “Inspect Mode” With Power LAN Scanned In GPrep compares the Module ID entered in this field with the LAN Address programmed into the module. If the populated field matches the programmed value, a message displays “address verified”.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF MODULE PROGRAMMING There are two modes for programming the modules. Program New is used when a module is installed on a new meter with an index that reads zero, and Re‐ program old is used for programming a module that is being installed on a meter that has an index with a value other than zero. This value is programmed into the module to log in the starting read for a meter to be installed.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF 2 Connect the 1‐Way Programming Cable or shooter cable to the module programming port. The following screen displays. Figure 9.12 “Program New” Screen with Module Plugged In GPrep automatically reads and displays the current parameters programmed into the module. If the Meter Type selected on the menu bar does not match the module type under test, GPrep displays a dialog box indicating “wrong module Type” and a blinking “Module reject” message.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF either rescan or re‐enter the meter ID value in this field. Module programming can not be resumed until the meter ID field populated matches the utility specific format. Figure 9.13 Error Message Displayed when The Wrong Meter ID Format Is Entered 4 Scan (enter) the power LAN label in the LAN Address field. “GPrep” compares the value entered in this field with the LAN Address programmed in the module.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF Upon successful programming, a message “program verified” displays. GPrep also displays a green square indicator at the lower left corner of the screen showing programming has been successful. Figure 9.15 Display when parameters are verified A record of the meter and module association is automatically captured in the “program file” including the date and the operator’s name. The “Programlog” only compiles the records when successful programming is verified.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF • If a record already exist in the programlog for a scanned module Power LAN Address, GPrep displays the following message: Figure 9.17 Duplicate Power LAN Address • If you select“yes”, indicating that you entered the wrong module ID, then re‐ enter the meter ID field and Power LAN Address to correct possible mis‐ entered values. • If you select “No”, indicating the module ID has been entered correctly, GPrep displays a blinking message “route to MRB”.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF • Meter ID field • LAN Address • Dial • Roll‐over point • Meter constant These are the only fields that can be populated. 2 Connect the 1‐Way Programming Cable or shooter cable to the module programming port. The following screen displays. Figure 9.19 Re-Program Old With Module Plugged In GPrep automatically reads and displays the current parameters programmed into the module.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF this field does not match the specified utility format, a dialog window displays indicating “meter ID field contain invalid characters” and the operator is instructed to either rescan or re‐enter the meter ID value in this field. Module programming can not be resumed until the meter ID field populated matches the utility specific format. 4 Scan (enter) the Module ID in LAN Address field.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF Select the proper Meter Constant from the drop down box. You can typically determine the Meter Constant from the meter index. Upon successful programming a message “program verified” displays. GPrep also displays a green square indicator at the lower left corner of the screen showing that the programming has been successful (this is the same as the “verified” screen for Program New).
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF 3 Connect the 1‐Way Programming Cable or shooter cable to the module programming port. The following screen displays. Figure 9.22 MRB Screen with Module Plugged In If the Meter Type selected on the menu bar does not match the module type under test, GPrep displays a dialog box indicating “wrong module Type” and a blinking “Module reject” message. GPrep does not allow the operator to resume programming function.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF Figure 9.23 Error Message Displayed when Entered Value Does Not Match Programmed Value If you select “Yes”, GPrep displays a blinking message stating “Dial discrepancy” and the main screen displays that the new dial value has been logged in MRBlog. This is captured in the MRBlog as “dial Entered”. GPrep does not capture the old value that was programmed into the module. If you select “No”, GPrep prompts the operator to enter the correct value.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1 What does GPrep stand for? Gas TOMM Preparation 2 What is GPrep used for? GPrep is a tool that is used in the Cross Dock or meter shop to program gas or water CPR modules without the use of a handheld. It is also used to disassociate gas or water CPR modules from meters. 3 What is programmed into the module? In the ʺProgram Newʺ and ʺRe‐Program Oldʺ modes, field operating parameters are programmed into the module.
d~ë=jÉíÉê=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=mêçÖê~ã=EdmêÉéF 9 How soon does the data get updated in each system after a module is programmed? A CRON job runs nightly that picks up the data that is put on the Cellnet server and transfers it to RIMS. At a minimum there is a one day delay. 10 Why shouldn’t I take GPrep to the field? Data management becomes difficult when the PC that GPrep is being used on is not at a fixed location.
