ISS is more than a SCADA or DCS package. ISS is developed specifically for gas / liquid metering applications where accurate calculations, data processing, reporting and advanced communication capabilities are of the utmost importance. ISS provides an optimum numerical accuracy (up to 64-bitfloating numbers) and calculation efficiency. Calculations for use specifically in metering such as ISO6976, SGERG, AGA8, NX19, AGA10 and various other thermodynamic properties are part of the ISS package. An expert system can be added to the supervisory system allowing technicians to model their expertise on the expert system using a simple rule builder. This will allow operators to benefit from expert knowledge and to resolve problems more quickly.
