The GridBoss System provides on site functionality and supports remote monitoring pressure measurement data archival communications and control The GridBoss System design allows you to configure specific applications including those requiring calculations logic and sequencing control using Function Sequence Tables FSTs The primary function of the GridBoss System is to adjust the Outlet Pressure of the DR station to maintain a Setpoint at the LPP This allows the District Regulator to automate the delivering of natural gas at an optimized and adequate pressure By using history load profiles originating from the Low Pressure Point data and using the load profiles at the District Regulator the GridBoss System predicts system requirements to improve system integrity and reduce the average system pressure The LPP GB602 measures the line pressure at the Low Pressure Point downstream from the District Regulator The line pressure at the Low Pressure Point and the required change in Setpoint for the regulator is relayed back to the District Regulator GB601 when the LPP pressure goes out of range The line pressure is averaged over a minute An RBX Report by Exception alarm can be sent to the Host computer alerting GridManager of the alarm condition The GridBoss 600 Series units have a weather tight enclosure with a window for a Liquid Crystal Display LCD display which is further protected by a weather shield cover This display consists of a
