Data Archiving and Reports on ABB Totalflow
Key Takeaway
How to configure, view, and export data archives and flow reports on ABB Totalflow — hourly, daily, event records, contract hours, and custody transfer reporting.
Quick Answer
Totalflow stores hourly, daily, and event archives in non-volatile flash memory. Archives contain accumulated volumes, average pressures and temperatures, flow time, compressibility, and gas composition data — the complete measurement record required for custody transfer billing and regulatory compliance.
Archive Types
- Periodic (hourly, daily, monthly) — Accumulated volumes, average conditions
- Event archive — Configuration changes, alarms, power cycles
- Shift records — Configurable period archives
Contract Hour
The contract hour defines the gas day — the 24-hour period for daily totalization. Example: 8:00 AM to 7:59:59 AM. Must match the gas contract and SCADA master configuration.
Archive Storage
Typical capacity: 35 days hourly, 24 months daily (varies by model). XSeries with SD card extends storage significantly.
Retrieval
- PCCU32 archive viewer with CSV export
- DNP3 event poll by SCADA master (automatic on reconnection)
- SD card removal (supported models)
