Environmental Compliance
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
Panametrics is an active participant in Europe’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) take-back initiative,
directive 2012/19/EU.
The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may
contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure on the
natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle
most of the materials of your end life equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you to use those systems.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse and recycling systems, please contact your local or regional
waste administration.
Visit www.bakerhughesds.com/health-safetyand-environment-hse for take-back instructions and more information
about this initiative.

Programming Methods
You can program the XGM868i via either the keypad on the lower part of the glass enclosure, or PanaView™, a
PC-based, non-resident software program that communicates with the XGM868i via its RS232 serial port. PanaView
supplements basic XGM868i functions with several additional capabilities. With PanaView, you can:
•
load and save site file data
•
create and save graph and log files
•
display text output and graphs of live measurement data
•
create custom templates for displaying text, graph and log data
•
interface with multiple Panametrics instruments.
Although the actual displays differ somewhat, the general procedures are the same for all three programming
methods. This chapter provides detailed programming instructions for use with the keypad. If you are using
PanaView™, see Appendix C, Programming the XGM868i via PanaView™, and/or the PanaView™ User’s Manual (910-211)
for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: This manual is for instruments using software version Y4AM or later.
1.3
The XGM868i Enclosure Keypad
Keypad Program
Along with the 2-line, 16-character LCD, the XGM868i includes a 6-key magnetic keypad. The decal cutout for each key
contains a hall effect sensor, pushbutton switch and visible red LED. The magnetic wand used to activate a magnetic
key is found attached to the meter chassis below the front panel. An operator activates the key by pressing the
magnetic wand up to the glass lid over the desired key. The LED will light indicating a successful key press.
Note:
The pushbutton switch will also act as a key press but is done with the glass lid open. Do not use the
pushbutton switch in a hazardous area where the lid needs to be installed.
Use the magnetic keypad to navigate through the user program. The menu map may be followed in sequence, or the
four arrow keys may be used to scroll through the prompt screens. Figure 1 shows the front of the XGM868i, with
magnetic keypad and magnetic wand.

Description
If the burst mode is set to Skan/Measure (S/M), the meter switches
from Skan to Measure Mode when Delta T is less than the M>S_Switch
value. DO NOT change this value unless advised to do so by the
factory.
The number of shifts corresponds to the actual number of transmits
per cycle (number of signals added together in one direction to
produce an averaged signal for one interrogation of the fluid) and
need only be changed if the environment is very noisy or the
acoustic signal is weak.
A Divisor is used to calculate the Measure Mode integrated threshold
level and is not normally changed.
# Transmit Pulses specifies the number of pulses in a burst. For
difficult conditions (i.e. long paths, high velocity or high temperature),
settings as high as 16 may be necessary.
The XGM868i calculates the size of the transmit window based on
pipe size and fluid sound speed. However, for diagnostic purposes,
the window size may be reset.
The XGM868i calculates the size of the receive window based on pipe
size and fluid soundspeed. However, for diagnostic purposes, the
window size may be reset.

Configuring the Communications Port
The Model XGM868i flowmeter is equipped with an RS232 or an RS485 serial interface. An RS485 option is also available
with MODBUS capability. When the MODBUS option is installed, the XGM868i may still also have the standard RS232
serial interface.
The meter can be configured with a MODBUS option card for MODBUS communications, a Foundation Fieldbus option
card for Foundation Fieldbus communications, an Ethernet option card for Ethernet communications, or with a
MODBUS/TCP option card for MODBUS communication over the Ethernet, if desired.
Note:
To set Fieldbus communications parameters, see Appendix E, Foundation Fieldbus Communications.
The serial port is used to transmit stored data and displayed readings to a personal computer by connecting the
meter’s serial interface to the serial port of the PC. In addition, the Model XGM868i can receive and execute remote
commands, using PanaView software via this link.
Use the COMM submenu to set the communications port and MODBUS parameters. While programming the meter,
refer to Figure 30 on page 71.
1.9.3.1
Setting Up the Serial Port
Use the steps below to configure the communications port:
1.
In the Keypad Program, scroll to PROG and press [Enter].
2.
In the PROG menu, scroll to GLOBL and press [Enter].
3.
In the Global PROGRAM menu, scroll to COMM and press [Enter].
4.
Enter a Meter Address (between 1 and 127) and press [Enter]. (The default address is 1.)
A meter address is necessary for communication with the Panametrics PanaView software. See Appendix C,
Programming the XGM868i with PanaView™, or the PanaView™ User’s Manual (910-211) for more information.
IMPORTANT: If the meter address or baud rate is changed, communication with PanaView must be re-established
with the new parameters.
5.
Scroll to the desired Baud Rate and press [Enter]. (Available baud rates extend from 300 to 19,200.)
6.
Do one of the following:
•
If you have the RS485 MODBUS option, proceed to Step 1 in Setting Up MODBUS Communications on the following
page.
•
If you have the standard RS232 serial interface, go to Procedure Options on the next page.
DigitalFlow™ XGM868i Programming Manual

Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
1.9.3.2
Setting Up MODBUS Communications
When equipped with an optional MODBUS output card, the XGM868i can transmit flow data serially to a flow
computer, or SCADA, using a Gould-type RTU protocol. Thus only the MODBUS function command, 3 (read multiple
registers), 6 (write multiple registers) is valid. The XGM868i uses the following format for the data exchange:
•
The Send command (initiated by the host flow computer or controller) comes in the form:
[time delimiter]<Addr><3><First Register MSB>
<First Register LSB> <Register Count MSB>
<Register Count LSB><CRC Low><CRC High>[time delimiter]
•
The Response (initiated by the host flow computer or controller) comes in the form:
[time delimiter]<Addr><3><Byte count><Data...........>
<CRC Low><CRC High>[time delimiter]
The format for the returned data types is:
•
Integer (16 bit Integer) <MSB><LSB>
1 Register - 16 bit integer
•
Integer (32 bit IntegerI) <MSB><LSB><LSB><LSB>
2 Register - 32 bit integer
•
Floating Point (FP)<EXP><MAN><MAN><MAN>
2 Registers - 32 bit IEEE floating point number
Use the steps below to configure MODBUS communications:
IMPORTANT: The XGM868i MODBUS communications settings chosen in the next four steps must match those of the
MODBUS control system.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Scroll to the desired MODBUS Baud Rate and press [Enter].
Scroll to the MODBUS Parity and press [Enter].
Scroll to the MODBUS Stop Bits and press [Enter].
Enter a MODBUS Meter Address (between 1 and 254) and press [Enter]. (The default address is 1.)
IMPORTANT: You must reboot the XGM868i to load the new settings.
Procedure Options
After completing the above steps, the XGM868i returns to the Global PROGRAM window. Do one of the following:
•
Refer to the section Requesting Parameters Using MODBUS on the following page to retrieve data from the
XGM868i using MODBUS.
•
To continue regular programming, refer to Appendix A, Menu Maps, to navigate to the desired menu.

Requesting Parameters Using MODBUS
Note:
If you request Channel2 or Averaged data from a 1-Channel meter, the values will all be zero.
To request specific parameters from the XGM868i via the MODBUS, the control system must enter the appropriate
register number. Only registers 1 through 90 are available for MODBUS communications, while registers 508 through
512 are used by the XGM868i to store the MODBUS parameters. For details, see Table 11 for a 1-Channel meter or Table 12

Activating Security
In order to prevent unauthorized tampering with the flowmeter’s programming, the XGM868i is equipped with a
security feature that locks all the keys except [PROG] (which, when pressed, requires the password).
When the system is locked, access to the menus will be denied unless the correct password is entered. The XGM868i is
shipped with a default password (2719 and three spaces). For increased security, the default password should be
changed.
IMPORTANT: Once the system has been locked, it can only be unlocked by entering the password, because access to
the SECUR submenu is restricted.
While following the programming instructions, refer to the menu map in Figure 30 on page 71.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that all program parameters be recorded before changing the password. (This
information should be recorded in Appendix B, Data Records, as a matter of routine.) If the password is
lost, the site data is not retrievable and will have to be re-entered.

Viewing PC Logs (cont.)
In the Log Browser, after you highlight the name of the desired log file, the following option buttons become
available:
[Start] - resumes logging if the log is currently stopped, or
•
[Stop] - stops logging, if the log is currently running
[Delete] - permanently deletes the log file
•
[Open] - opens the log in the PC Log window
•
3.
Click on one of the option buttons listed in Step 2 above.
You can monitor the progress of an ongoing log in several ways:
•
Click on the Log Items tab (see Figure 21 on page 58) for a list of the parameters specified for logging.
•
Click on the Contents tab (see Figure 21 on page 58) for a list of all the data points logged to date for the
parameter currently highlighted on the Log Items tab.
•
Click on the [Graph] option button to display a graphical representation of the data logged to date.
Note:
•
The graph is displayed in its own window, which is opened on top of the PC Log window. For instructions on
using the Graph Log window, refer to the Graphing Output section in Chapter 2 of the PanaView User’s Manual.
Click on the [Refresh] option button to update the information shown on the Contents tab and in the Graph Log
window. Any data logged since the last use of the [Refresh] option button is added to the list and to the graph.
Remember that only two parameters per channel may be graphed, and that the same two parameters must be
graphed for each channel of a multi-channel graph display. When you have finished viewing the graph, click on the
[Close] option button to close the Graph window and leave the log running.
4.
To terminate the logging process, simply click on the [Stop] option button, which has replaced the original [Start]
option button. (The Stop Time automatically appears in the PC Log window.)
Because a PC log has no specific “Stop Time,” the log will continue to run until it is manually stopped (unless the PC is
turned off or you run out of hard drive space).

Data Types for Printing
The Model XGM868i flowmeter has no ability to print any of its data directly. However, any of the data stored in its
memory may be printed via the built-in RS232 communications port, using a computer terminal. In order to use the
capability, the XGM868i must be linked to the computer terminal with the optional PanaView software.
Note:
See Chapter 1, Installation, of the Startup Guide for instructions on wiring the RS232 serial port. For additional
information, refer to the EIA-RS Serial Communications Manual (916-054).
After making the hardware connections and installing PanaView software, the following data may be output to a
printer connected to the personal computer:
•
live data in numeric or graphical format
•
log file in numeric or graphical format
•
site file in tabular format
•
transducer signal array data in tabular format
For detailed instructions on printing any of the data types listed above, consult the PanaView User’s Manual.

Introduction
This chapter explains how to purge totalized measurements, site data and/or log files from the XGM868i’s memory.
Note:
For detailed information on creating a log file, see Chapter 3, Logging Data. For detailed information on
programming site data, see Chapter 1, Programming Site Data.
IMPORTANT: None of the clearing procedures described in this chapter can be undone. Be very sure that the exact
consequences of a selected option are thoroughly understood before proceeding.
5.2
Clearing the XGM868i’s Memory
If the XGM868i’s available memory becomes nearly full, it may be necessary to purge some or all of the existing data
from memory, before any additional data can be stored. In order to accomplish this task, proceed to the appropriate
section for step-by-step instructions.
Note:
Depending on the current configuration of the XGM868i, it may be possible to add additional memory by
installing an option card in Slot 2. See Chapter 4, Parts Replacement, of the Service Manual for details.

Description
The number of shifts corresponds to the actual number of transmits
per cycle (number of signals added together in one direction to
produce an averaged signal for one interrogation of the fluid) and
need only be changed if the environment is very noisy or the acoustic
signal is weak.
A Divisor is used to calculate the Measure Mode integrated threshold
level and is not normally changed.
# Transmit Pulses specifies the number of pulses in a burst. For difficult
conditions (i.e. long paths, high velocity or high temperature), settings
as high as 16 may be necessary.
The XGM868i calculates the size of the transmit window based on pipe
size and fluid sound speed. However, for diagnostic purposes, the
window size may be reset.
The XGM868i calculates the size of the receive window based on pipe
size and fluid soundspeed. However, for diagnostic purposes, the

*Metric or English units are determined by the setup of the flowmeter.
**Totalizer digits are available for informational purposes only. Respective totals are automatically
scaled by the Tot Digits value selected in the flowmeter setup.
***If the meter is outputting Mole Weight, the unit is “mw”, otherwise it is the programmed pressure
unit.
VOL_U, TOT_U, MASS_U, MTOT_U and PRESS_U are determined by the units chosen for these
measurements in the flowmeter setup. See the instrument User's Manual for the setup of these
parameters.

Figure 59: Configuration Utility Setup Example
Note:
The following procedures assume that the device has been placed in the OOS (out-of-service) mode before
executing.
E.3
Selecting the Desired Measurements
To set the measurement unit for each AI:
1.
2.
3.
Double click on the FLOW Transducer Block (in the tree under GEFlow-XGM).
Select the Others tab and open the drop down list for the PRIMARY_SELECTOR and SECONDARY_SELECTOR (refer to
Figure 60 on page 135).
Choose the unit from the list (see Figure 60 on page 135).
134
DigitalFlow™ XGM868i Programming Manual
Appendix E. Foundation Fieldbus Communications
This unit will correspond to the unit that is available in the AI block for network connection. The PRIMARY_SELECTOR
unit will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_1 and the SECONDARY_SELECTOR will correspond to ANALOG_INPUT_2.
4. After the desired measurements have been selected for the PRIMARY and SECONDARY SELECTOR, choose the
unit system (UNIT_SELECTOR above the PRIMARY_SELECTOR) that was programmed in the flowmeter (English or
SI).

E.1
Selecting Units for AI Blocks
To select the units for the individual AI blocks:
1.
2.
Double click on the AI block for which you wish to set the units (ANALOG_INPUT_1 or ANALOG_INPUT_2 in the tree
under GEFlow-XGM; see Figure 59 on page 134).
Select the Scaling tab and set the unit for the measurement based on the flowmeter settings.
For example, if the flowmeter was set to use the metric unit system and the PRIMARY_SELECTOR was set to use
VELOCITY you would choose m/s for the unit as shown in Figure 61.
