1.2 FloBoss S600 Flow Computer

The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager is a panel-mount flow computer designed specifically for hydrocarbon
liquid and gas measurement where versatility and accuracy matter. The standard features of the unit make
it ideal for fiscal measurement, custody transfer, batch loading and meter proving applications. The unit
allows multi-stream, multi-station applications to be configured, enabling you to simultaneously meter
liquids and gasses.
The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager is designed for use either as a stand-alone flow computer or as a system
component. The intelligent I/O boards fit both gas and liquid applications and support two streams and a
header. Adding I/O boards (maximum 3) allows you to configure up to six streams and two headers.
Orifice, ultrasonic, turbine, positive displacement, Coriolis, annubar & V-Cone flow meter types are all
supported.
The analog performance of the FloBoss S600 is of the highest order, allowing longer intervals between
calibration checks.
The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager offers multiple communication interfaces:
♦ One LAN port for Ethernet 10 baseT connectivity (using FTP and TCP/IP protocols). An optional
second Ethernet port can be added if required.
♦ HART communication is facilitated by way of a 12 channel I/O board. Point to point and multi-drop
architectures are supported (up to 50 Transmitters).
♦ An embedded web-server allows remote access to the flow computer. Security is provided by way of
user name and password protection with a detailed event log for audit purposes (supports Windows®
Internet Explorer® version 6 or greater).

♦ Two EIA-232 (RS-232) serial ports for connection to a printer or RTU.
♦ Three EIA-422/485 (RS-422/RS485) serial ports (up to 38400 bps baud) for connection to a Modbus
SCADA data network or DCS Supervisory System.
♦ One dedicated configuration port for connection to the Config 600 Software.
The FloBoss S600 uses distributed processing to achieve maximum performance. The main CPU
incorporates a hardware floating point processor. Each additional card also has local processing to convert
inputs and output from engineering units to field values and vice-versa, as well as running background tests
and PID loops.
All metering calculations are performed using 64 bit (double) precision floating point numbers for the
highest accuracy. Cumulative totals are stored in three separate memory locations (Tri-reg format) for
maximum integrity. The user language Logicalc™ also allows double precision mathematical functions to
be performed on the database objects.

Note: A standard 483 mm (19 in.) rack that is 311 mm (12.25 in.) high will accommodate up to
four FloBoss S600 flow computers with the rear of the case supported.
2. Refer to Figure 2-6 and Table 2-1 for position details for two 7 mm (0.276 in.) holes and a
cutout. The panel cut out should be rectangular in shape for each FloBoss S600 unit. A
tolerance of +/- 3 mm (0.12 in.) is allowed on each axis.

Figure 2-6. Panel Cutout Dimensions
3. Panel thickness should be at least 3 mm (0.12 in) to prevent distortion. Thinner panels can be
used, but these require the rear of the case to be supported. Refer to Figure 2-7.
It is recommended that a rear support or anchor is always used to prevent twisting and other
distortion effects during installation and maintenance.
Figure 2-7. Panel Mount

4. Place the front of the case against the rear of the prepared cutout.
5. Re-install the top and bottom bosses, and tighten with a 5.5 mm (5 BA) hex wrench.
6. When the rear support is fitted, you should use a self-tapping screw to secure the case to the
rear support. The maximum depth of the screw inside the case should be 3 mm (0.12 in.).
2.4.4 Re-installing the Front Panel

The final stage of the installation process is to re-install the front panel on the FloBoss S600 as follows:
1. Connect the ribbon cable (from the front of the case) to the connector on the front panel.
Observe the orientation of the connector with its mating keyway. The ribbon cable must be
correctly inserted. Do not use excessive force to refit the cable.
2. Place the top of the front panel over the retaining groove on the top boss and slide downwards.
3. To secure the front panel, place the hex cap screw into its recess in the bottom center of the
front panel.
4. Use a 2.5 mm Allen wrench to tighten the screw finger-tight. Turn an additional 180 degrees to
complete the installation.
Take care not to over-tighten the screw. Over-tightening may cause damage to the panel face.
2.5 Installation and Removal of the Boards

The FloBoss S600 unit will be shipped with the boards already installed. If you need to remove the boards
for maintenance or upgrade reasons, please follow the procedures in this section.
The CPU board is dedicated to the left-most rear slot of the case. The remaining slots can be populated
with plug-in I/O boards, or they can be left blank and covered with the blank plates designed for the
purpose.
Ensure suitable electrostatic discharge precautions are taken prior to removing any of the
plug-in boards.
The terminals on some boards may be wired to electrical potentials sufficiently high to cause
electrical shock and injury. Make sure the power sources of any connected devices are
turned off and discharged before performing any installation or repairs.
To remove the plug-in boards:

1. Ensure the FloBoss S600 is powered-down before attempting to extract a plug-in board.
2. Unscrew the retention screws before attempting to remove a board to avoid damage to the pull
tabs. Refer to Figure 2-8.

Figure 2-8. Unscrewing the Retention Screws
3. Unlatch the pull-tabs for the appropriate board and pull the board clear of the case. Some
rocking of the board may be required to release the connector. Refer to Figure 2-9 and Figure
2-10.
Figure 2-9. Using the Pull Tabs

Figure 2-10. Board Ready for Removal or Final Insertion
To install the plug-in boards:
1. Install the plug-in boards with care by aligning them in the guides (located at top and bottom of
the case). Gently slide the board until it mates fully with the appropriate connector on the
backplane.
2. Each plug-in board has two “pull tabs” on the backplate. These should be pressed securely in
place upon insertion.
The insertion and location of the plug-in boards along the guides does not require excessive
force. Take care not to twist or otherwise distort the boards during installation.
3. Secure the board in the case with the retention screws (two per board).

3.2 Power Supply

The Power connection is made by a plug-in, standard 5-mm pitch screw terminal block on the P152 CPU
board. The power supply connector is labeled TB-1. The TB-1 pin connections are shown in Table 3-1.
Rev Sep/04 CPU 3-2

The FloBoss S600 should be powered by a nominal 24 volts dc power source capable of supplying 2
Amps. The unit will operate between 20 and 32 volts dc.
The startup in-rush current may draw 6 Amps for approximately 100 milliseconds. This in-rush becomes
significant when multiple flow computers are connected to the same power supply.
An on-board anti-surge fuse (2.5 Amp rating) protects the supply line should a fault occur within the unit.
Fully regulated 15 and 24 volts dc supplies are also available for applications, such as powering loops or
pre-amplifiers. These outputs are protected by resettable thermal fuses.

4.1.1 Analog Inputs

There are two fully floating A/D converters per I/O board, each measuring five single-ended Analog Input
(ANIN) channels. Each channel (ANIN 1-10) is configurable as a 0 to 5.25 volt or 0 to 22 mAmp input
range. There are also two current-only inputs (ANIN 11 and 12). This provides a total of 12 Analog
Inputs.
The primary measurement for ANIN 1-10 is voltage, which is compared to a stable reference source. The
channels are configurable to current using a bit link (jumper) on the board to place a high accuracy
calibrated shunt resistor in parallel with the input. Refer to Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4.
NOTE: Exercise caution. The channels for each A/D converter should be set the same to
guarantee accuracy. Channels ANIN 1-5 on the first A/D converter should all be set for voltage or
all for current. Channels ANIN 6-10 on the second A/D converter should all be set for voltage or
all for current. Refer to Section 4.1.10 for a table of settings.
Figure 4-3. Analog Input Schematic (with IS Barrier and using Internal Resistor)
Figure 4-4. Analog Input Schematic (without IS Barrier and using External Resistor)

4.1.5 Turbine Pulse Inputs

When the optional Mezzanine card for Pulse Inputs (P148) is installed on the P144 I/O board, four Pulse
Inputs may be used either independently or in pairs of two. Generally, they are used for dual pulse
measurement, such as turbine applications. In dual pulse mode, level A or B pulse checking can be
enabled.
Each input has an input range of 1 to 10 KHz. Each channel has live integrity checking. A configurable
circuit fail alarm is activated if cabling faults develop or if the pre-amp power fails.
The electrical connection of these inputs is dependent on which DPR mezzanine card is fitted to the P144
I/O module. For example, a 12 volts dc P148 Mezzanine card is suitable for the pre-amp signals shown in
Figure 4-12. As another example, a 24 volts dc P148 Mezzanine card is suitable for the open collector
device shown in Figure 4-13.
The P148 Mezzanine card can interface to a variety of pre-amps. The following pre-amps are among those
supported: Spectra Tek F106, Spectra Tek IS106, Instromet MK15, Faure Herman FH71 2-wire, Faure
Herman FH71 3-wire, and ITT Barton 818U.
The dual-pulse input pin connections are shown in Table 4-8.

4.1.9 PRT/RTD Inputs

There are three Platinum Resistance Thermometer (PRT)/Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) inputs.
The PRT/RTD inputs are suitable for Class A, 4-wire PRT devices that conform to the BS EN 60751:1996
standard. The temperature measurement range is -100 to +200°C (-148 to +392°F). Two styles of
PRT/RTD probes are supported:
♦ DIN (coefficient of 0.00385 ohm/ohms degrees Celsius).
♦ AMERICAN (coefficient of 0.003926 ohm/ohms degrees Celsius).
The “DIN” 43760 selection is typical in Europe and common in the United States, while the
“AMERICAN” Standard selection coefficient (alpha) is still common for circumstances where a slightly
more pure Platinum is used to effect a higher absolute accuracy. The style of PRT/RTD must be
configured through Config 600 software.
The PRT/RTD input pin connections are shown in Table 4-12.

4.2 P154 Prover Board

The P154 dedicated prover interface card has been designed to work with compact or microprover,
unidirectional and bi-directional provers, with 2 or 4 detector switches. In addition, it contains high
resolution timing circuits so that dual chronometry methods can be utilized to increase the apparent
resolution for instances when insufficient turbine pulses are present with the prover volume available. The
prover board can also be used in master meter proving and supplies 32 Digital Inputs, 12 Digital Outputs, 2
Frequency (density) Inputs, and 4 hardware-assisted Pulse Outputs. There are no analog functions on the
prover board.
The backplate has three low density D-type connectors for field wiring. These connectors are labeled
SKT-D, SKT-E, and SKT-F.

4.2.1 Digital Inputs

There are 32 optically-isolated Digital Inputs (DIGIN) per plug-in board. The digital inputs have been
grouped into four banks of 4-off single ended inputs with one common feed.
The sample period is 500 milliseconds.
The DIGIN channels use the connectors labeled SKT-E and SKT-F, which are located on the backplate of
the P154 board. The DIGIN pin connections are shown in Table 4-15 and Table 4-16.
Note: The return lines (Ex. pin 17 on SKT-E) must be connected to a 24 volts dc source. The
DIGIN lines (Ex. pin 13 on SKT-E) expect typical “open collector” (referenced to GND)
connections.
Field wiring schematics are shown in Figure 4-8 and Figure 4-9 in Section 4.1.3.

4.2.2 Digital Outputs

There are 12 digital output channels. The digital outputs (DIGOUT) are high current, open collector type.
The maximum current rating is 100 mAmps at 24 volts dc. Output frequencies up to 0.5 Hz are possible.
The DC polarity must be carefully checked. Use an external DC supply in series with the load. When
using inductive loads, such as relay coils, place a diode across the load.
The DIGOUT channels CH1 to CH2 are located on connector SKT-E, and channels CH3 and CH12 are
located on connector SKT-F. The DIGOUT pin connections are shown Table 4-17 and Table 4-18. Field

4.2.3 Turbine Pulse Inputs

The four Pulse Inputs may be used either independently or in pairs of two. Generally, they are used for
dual pulse measurement, such as turbine applications. In dual pulse mode, level A or B pulse checking can
be enabled.
Each input has an input range of 1 to 10 KHz. Each channel has live integrity checking. A circuit fail
alarm is activated if cabling faults develop or the pre-amp power fails.
The dual-pulse input pin connections are shown in Table 4-19. Field wiring schematics are shown in
Figure 4-12 and Figure 4-13 in Section 4.1.5.

5.3 Keypad
The layout of the front panel keypad has been designed to make it easy to use and to reduce the possibility
of error. The keys on the keypad are color-coded by type:
♦ Function = yellow.
♦ 4 Direction & Menu = dark green.
♦ Numeric = light green.
♦ Operation = dark green.
5.3.1 F Keys
The top of the keypad has four function keys numbered F1 to F4. Each F key can be programmed as a
shortcut to a frequently used display page. For the procedure to program a F key, refer to Section 5.9.

5.3.2 4 Direction and Menu Keys

The large, oval, 4 direction arrow key is located just below the Menu key. The 4 direction arrow key
allows you to navigate the display matrix and select parameters or data items to view or change.
Press the Menu key to return up one level of the display hierarchy. On a data page, this key returns you to
the parent menu. On a menu page, the ▲ key will return you to the Main menu.
5.3.3 Numeric Keys

The numeric keys occupy the lower part of the keypad. The numeric keys offer the full number set (0-9),
decimal point (.), and a minus (-) key.
♦ Numeric 0 to 9 – Used to enter or change data and to navigate the display screens.
♦ Minus – Used to define the default display on the FloBoss S600 or to enter negative numbers and
the decimal point when entering fractional numbers.
The decimal point is also used to define shortcuts to access frequently used displays; refer to Section 5.8.
5.3.4 Operation Keys

The Operation keys are used in conjunction with the Numeric keys to perform a variety of tasks, including:
Exponent – The Expt key is used to enter numbers in scientific notation. Where the value to be entered
exceeds the space available on the display (20 characters), it is necessary to express the data in
exponential terms.
Clear – The Clear key is used to cancel or exit from the current operation and return to the previous data
display. Clear is also used to activate the default display (if configured).
Display – The Disp key is used to enter the path of a required display. The path is shown on the Status/ID
line at the bottom of every data page.
Print – The Print key is used to display the print menu, where commands can be requested for various
pre-configured reports or logs to a printer or computer terminal.
Change – The Chng key is used to edit a displayed database item. Only items marked with an asterisk (*)
are changeable.
Enter – Used in combination with the numeric and Chng keys, the key is used to confirm the data
has been entered correctly and complete an operational sequence.
5.4 Alarm LED and Alarm Keys

Between the F keys and the MENU key is the Alarm LED and two Alarm keys, View and Accept.
During normal operation, with no alarm activated, the Alarm LED is green.

Alarms can be triggered when measurements exceed the pre-set limits for a parameter or when there is a
malfunction. The alarm may be relayed to a terminal or klaxon in the Control Room. On the panel of the
S600, a flashing red LED indicates an alarm, and the source of the alarm can be shown on the display.
When an alarm is activated, the light flashes red until the cause for the alarm has been viewed and the
Accept key has been pressed. Once acknowledged, the light shows a constant red until all the alarm
conditions have been cleared.
Press the View key to display the parameters that have triggered the alarm.
The first line of the alarm display indicates the date and time of the alarm. Whilst the alarm remains
unaccepted, the date is shown in inverse video. The second and third lines are used to describe where the
alarm has been activated and its nature. The total number of alarms, accepted and unaccepted, is shown on
the bottom line.
When there is more than one alarm to be viewed, the display can be cycled around all the alarms, using the
<up> or <down> keys.
Press the Accept key to notify the S600 that you have viewed all the alarms and are prepared to
acknowledge them all together. The inverse date on all the alarms then returns to normal video.
Once an alarm condition is cleared, its alarm prompt is automatically cleared from the display. When all
the alarms in the system have cleared, the Alarm light resets to a constant green.
If the alarm LED is orange, refer to Section 8, Troubleshooting.
5.5 Display
The LCD display offers eight lines of information displayed as alpha-numeric characters. An example of a
typical display is shown below.
1. UVOL FR
2. CVOL FR
3. MASS FR
4. ENERGY
Figure 5-3. LCD Display
All eight lines of the display are used to show the available menu options, which are arranged in a
hierarchy of menus and sub-menus. Each menu and associated sub-menu is allocated a number between 1
to 8 and can be selected using the numeric keys.
An asterisk (*) before a menu option indicates that further sub-menus are available. A decimal point ( . )
before the menu option shows there is a data display page available and no further sub-menu.

Generally, each data display page shows one or more data item(s) from the FloBoss S600 database along
with the associated text, units, and description.
Which data items can be modified depends upon the database configuration. A changeable (Read
Writable) data item is indicated by an asterisk (*) at the end of the display line. Prompts and messages
appear when you enter or edit data items. Display lines without asterisks are Read Only.
On the bottom line of every data display page is the Status/ID line. A typical Status/ID line is shown in
Figure 5-4.
P1.1 <of 2>
Figure 5-4. Status ID Line
On the left-hand side of the Status/ID line is the Page Reference Number. For example, P1.1 followed by
the number of associated data pages that can be navigated using the ◄ and ► keys.
The Page Reference Number indicates the location of a data item on the FloBoss S600 displays. One way
to understand the FloBoss S600 displays is to visualize the data items as if they were written on the
exterior of a very large cylinder. The Page Reference Number calls out the column on the cylinder,
followed by the row, in a “column.row” format.
In addition, the Status/ID line indicates whether the flow computer is in Prove mode or Maintenance mode
by displaying the characters P or M, respectively, on the right-hand side.
5.6 Navigating the Display

From the Main menu, select the option you require with the appropriate numerical key. An asterisk (*)
before a menu option indicates that further sub-menus are available. A decimal point ( . ) before the menu
option shows that there is no further sub-menu.
The Status/ID line on the bottom of the display changes as you move between data display pages.
Use the ◄ or ► keys to view the previous or next display. The number of the current display is indicated
after the decimal point on the Status/ID line.
NOTE: The ◄ key is also used as the delete/backspace key when entering or changing data.
Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to move from the data display pages of one menu item to the data display pages of
the previous or next menu item.
An alternative method of selecting the required data page is to enter the unique page address using the
Disp key. If you know the page reference number of the parameter (found in the Status/ID line) you wish
to view, proceed as follows:
1. Press Disp followed by the Page Reference Number in the format of “column.row,” such as 1.3.
2. Press Enter.

If you only enter a single number, such as the column value, then the first cell of the row displays.
To return to a higher level menu, press the Menu key. Repeatedly pressing the Menu key moves you up to
the Main menu. If you are on a menu or data display page, you can return directly to the Main menu at any
time (except during an edit sequence) by pressing the Menu key followed by the ▲ key.
If you have pressed the Chng key and are therefore in an edit sequence, the Menu key will not respond
until either Clear (to abort the change) or Enter (to complete the change) has been pressed.
Refer to Appendix A for more information on navigating the front panel display screens.
5.7 Entering Data

Changing the value or mode of any displayed parameter is straightforward with the FloBoss S600. You
can modify R/W numeric values and calculation modes using the Chng key.
To enter the edit sequence:
1. Press the Chng key. If more than one asterisk is shown on a data display, the FloBoss S600
highlights the first object on the page. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to move the highlight to the required
point.
2. Press the Chng key again to change the data values. The system automatically determines whether
your assigned security level allows you to change the selected data. If not permitted, you will be
requested to enter your security code. In order to prevent accidental re-configuration, certain
essential data entry fields require confirmation.
While in Change mode, the ◄ key can be used to delete digits or characters by backspacing over
the displayed data. The Clear key can be pressed at any time to abort the current operation or task.
5.7.1 Changing a Value

Locate the data display page of the parameter to be changed.
If the value is changeable (R/W), the data is marked with an asterisk; if there is no asterisk, the data cannot
be modified from the keypad.
To change the value of a parameter, proceed as follows:
Note: Steps 1 and 2 will be skipped if only one data item is changeable on the required data page.
1. Press Chng on the required data page.

2. Select the required parameter using the ▲ or ▼ keys.
3. Press Chng and the prompt ENTER CODE: displays.
4. Key in your Security Code and press Enter (the security code number does not display, but each
digit is indicated by a dot as you key it in).

5. At the prompt ENTER NEW VALUE: key in the new value in integer, numeric, or scientific
notation as appropriate (the current value and any entry limits associated with this parameter are
also shown).
6. Press Enter to confirm.
The edit sequence is automatically exited on accepting or rejecting the value change if only one data item
is changeable on the data page.

SECTION 7 – STARTUP
This section describes the various procedures for starting and restarting the FloBoss S600 unit.
Section Page Number
7.1 Starting the FloBoss S600 7-1

7.2 Warm Start 7-1
7.3 Cold Start 7-1
7.4 Startup Menu 7-3
7.5 Network Setup 7-3
7.1 Starting the FloBoss S600

After the FloBoss S600 has been wired for power and connected to external devices, it may be activated by
energizing the external 24 volts dc power supply. When power is first applied, the FloBoss S600
automatically performs an initialization sequence, including a self-test routine. The unit displays the
message RESETTING. A warm start will automatically be performed.
7.2 Warm Start

A warm start does not affect the configuration memory (SRAM). The FloBoss S600 will continue
operation, using the data stored in the configuration memory just before the restart occurred. Any current
accumulated values and on-line changes that have not been saved will be preserved.
During a warm start, the FloBoss S600 displays the message RESTARTING.
Following a successful warm start, the Main menu displays. The Main menu is the starting point of the
display screens. For information on navigating the display screens, refer to Section 5.
If a valid configuration can not be found, the FloBoss S600 will not warm start. It will instead go to the
Startup menu. Please refer to Section 7.4 for details.
7.3 Cold Start

During a cold start, the configuration file is copied from Flash and replaces any on-line changes that have
been made to the configuration files since the last ones sent (downloaded) from a PC running Config 600
software or since the last backup. During a cold start, an option of keeping or resetting the cumulative
totals is also given. You can only keep totals if the structure of the database has not been changed.
Rev Sep/04 Startup 7-1

A cold start is used after sending a new configuration to the FloBoss S600 or to recover from extreme
situations, such as a corrupted database. A cold start builds a new metering database, using the
configuration data stored in the Flash memory of the FloBoss S600. A cold start must also be performed if
the firmware has been updated or changed.
7.3.1 How to Initiate a Cold Start

You can initiate a Cold Start of the FloBoss S600 using one of two methods.
7.3.1.1 No Power Applied

If the FloBoss S600 is NOT powered up, you may set Bit Link LK13 on the P152 CPU board to the closed
(cold start) position and then apply power to the unit. This will cause the Startup menu to appear.
NOTE: Exercise CAUTION. When setting the cold start jumper, keep in mind that this setting
will also be used when the FloBoss S600 self starts for any reason, such as a low-voltage shutdown
or recovery from a malfunction. Ensure the cold start jumper setting is removed when not required;
otherwise, an unplanned restart could result in lost data.
1. Select the COLD START command from the Startup menu. The Startup menu is shown in
Figure 7-1.
2. Press 1 or 2 to keep or reset the totals.
3. Press 1 to confirm and the following message displays:
CONFIGURING - PLEASE WAIT
A new database is then built using the configuration files held in the Flash memory.
Once completed, the FloBoss S600 Main menu displays.
7.3.1.2 Power Applied and FloBoss S600 Operating

On a running FloBoss S600, you must set the run mode to Cold Start.
NOTE: The sequence of keys to access the SYSTEM STATUS page may vary on the displays
for your application.

other settings to be changed under instruction from the factory. For more information, refer to
Section 8.
7.5 Network Setup

The Network Setup option allows you to define the TCP/IP Ethernet, Gateway, and Modbus network
addresses.
Prior to any network communications, the necessary network settings should be set. These parameters can
only be viewed or changed via the Startup menu.

These settings are kept in a separate area of the SRAM database and will be retained following the sending
of a configuration to the FloBoss S600 unit.
When any Modbus slave configuration builder has an address of zero specified, the Modbus port will be
configured with the address entered here. This is typically used when the same configuration file is loaded
into multiple FloBoss S600 flow computers on the same Modbus network; thus, giving each FloBoss S600
a unique node address.
To define the Modbus network addresses:

1. Select NETWORK SETUP from the Startup menu.
2. Select the Modbus Address option.
3. Enter the address value (a maximum value of 247 is permitted).
If the Modbus address has been changed, restart the FloBoss S600 for the change to take place.
Before establishing an Ethernet LAN connection (for host communications, local operator
communications, or web server access), you will need to verify and/or define the TCP/IP Address.
To define the Ethernet LAN network addresses:

1. Select NETWORK SETUP from the Startup menu.
2. Select the TCP/IP Interface option.
3. Enter the TCP/IP Gateway Address and subnet mask for the selected infterface (1 or 2).
Network I/F 1 is for the standard Ethernet port. Network I/F 2 is for the Dual Ethernet port.

APPENDIX A – FRONT PANEL NAVIGATION

This section describes the default menu options of the FloBoss S600 front panel display. The layout and navigation basics of the FloBoss S600
front panel are described in Section 6.
The FloBoss S600 software system is organized as a structured database of parameters, such as TOTALS, I/O, and CALCULATIONS. The
database groups the parameters logically by data points in a matrix of display screens. For example, the parameters used for averaging totals are
grouped together.
NOTE: The content of the display screens is application-specific. Although details may vary between different applications, the principle
described is the same. Refer to your Application Manual for details of parameters installed in your FloBoss S600.
The defaults for the screens described in this section assumed a configuration with two stations (Gas EU and Liquid EU) and four streams (Gas
Turbine, Gas DP, Liquid Coriolis, and Prover Ball). The Gas DP stream is assigned to station 1, and the Liquid Coriolis is assigned to station 2.
As mentioned in the note above, please apply the example of navigation presented here to your application which may vary. That is to say, if
your application has fewer stations and more streams, you will see more stream choices and fewer station choices than this example shows. Also,
if you have different types of streams, you will see parameters and submenu choices not listed here.

GLOSSARY
A
ADC – Analog to Digital Converter, also known as A/D Converter.
Address – A character, or group of characters, used in order to identify a particular item, e.g.
particular area of memory or particular computer on a communication link with many
computers.
AGA – American Gas Association.
Alphanumeric – Consisting of only the letters A to Z and the numerals 0 to 9.
Analog – A signal that has no defined steps, its value being determined by its size.
ANIN – Analog input, also known as AI.
ANOUT – Analog output, also known as AO.
B
Baud – Refers to the rate of serial data transfer, e.g. baud rate of 10 = 10 bits per second.
Binary – Numbers in base 2, i.e. only numbers 0 and 1 are used.
Bit – A binary digit.
Bit Link - A metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. Typically, a bit link consists of a plastic
plug that fits over a pair of protruding pins. By placing a bit link plug over a different set of
pins, you can change a board's parameters. Also known as jumpers.
Bitswitch – Switches that represent data bits by on or off state.
Buffer – A device inserted between devices to match impedance, equipment speeds or to supply
additional drive capability.
Bus – One or more conductors used as a path over which information is transmitted.
Byte – Block of 8 bits, can define 256 states (0 thru 255).
C
