The FloBoss S600 is ™

designed to be the
most advanced flow
computer in the world!

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 for
simultaneous metering of both
liquids and gases.

The FloBoss S600 offers multiple communications interfaces including:

■ One or two LAN ports for Ethernet 10 base T connectivity.

■ HART communication through a 12 channel HART board.

■ An embedded web server supports remote access through a

TCP/IP connection.
■ Two RS-232 ports for connection to a printer, RTU, Modbus device, or

distributed control system.

■ Three RS-422/485 ports for connection to a Modbus network or

DCS system.
■ One dedicated configuration port.

I/O board fits both gas and liquid
applications and supports two
streams and a header. Using
additional I/O boards, up to six
streams and two headers can
be configured using all common
flowmeter types including orifice,
ultrasonic, turbine, positive
displacement and Coriolis. There
is no need for multiple cards for
different applications.

The HART interface supports HART-

The modular design of the FloBoss

S600, and its wide range of
communication and expansion
options, lets it be easily adapted to
your requirements however they
might change.

The FloBoss S600 offers two RS232

ports with handshake signals and TCP/IP Ethernet Network
three differential communications
ports. Each of these three ports can
be independently configured point-
to-point (RS-422) or multi-dropped
(RS-485), supporting both two-wire
and four wire protocol. In addition,
there is a 10BaseT (Twisted Pair)
Ethernet interface utilizing TCP/IP
protocols for flexibility and
network connectivity.

The processor bus meets IEEE

standards allowing easy upgrades
when it becomes necessary. Code
is written in ANSI C for the Intel FloBoss S600 Flow Computers
Processor for maximum portability.

Outstanding access and security

In addition to front panel operation, the FloBoss S600

can be accessed over the internet through its Ethernet
port. This gives users the ability to remotely view
reports, displays, and diagnostics as well as read and
change data from almost anywhere in the world.

Advanced security protocols control user access or

limit the number of viewable and changeable items
according to the user’s security access level.

Navigation is made simple through a logical menu

system and many of the screens present the data points
in a format identical to the front panel display.

This offers great consistency between all types of user

interface and makes the FloBoss S600 easy to use.

FloBoss™ S600 Flow Manager
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
configuration of multi-stream, multi-station
applications, 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 base unit is supplied with
a single Input/Output (I/O) board and can be used
for both gas and liquid applications. The I/O
capability of the single I/O board is detailed on
Page 5, but is generally suitable for 2 of 3 streams
and a header. Additional I/O boards can be added
(maximum of 3) to enable a single FloBoss S600
to handle up to 10 streams and up to 2 headers,
with both Gas & Liquid in a single machine. Orifice,
ultrasonic, turbine, positive displacement, Coriolis,
Annubar, Venturi, and V-Cone flow meter types
are all supported.
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.
The reliability of the analog performance of the
FloBoss S600 allows longer intervals between
calibration checks.
The FloBoss S600 Flow Manager offers multiple
communication interfaces:
ƒ One or two Ethernet 10baseT ports. An
optional second Ethernet port can be added if
required.
ƒ HART communication is facilitated using a 12-
channel HART board, supporting point-to-point
and multi-drop architectures (up to 50
transmitters).
ƒ An embedded webserver 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 5 or greater.
ƒ Two configurable EIA-232 (RS-232) serial
ports for connection to a printer or RTU.
ƒ Three EIA-422/485 (RS-422/RS-485) serial
ports (up to 38400 bps baud) for connection to
intelligent meters, Modbus SCADA data
networks, or a DCS Supervisory System.
ƒ One dedicated configuration port for
connection to the Config600 configuration
software.
Use the software interface (Config600 Lite,
Config600 Lite+, or Config600 Pro) to upload and
download configurations. You can also create or
edit configuration files using Config600 Lite+ and
Config600 Pro (refer to the Config600 specification
sheet, 4:C600). Finally, the keypad interface on
the S600/webserver enables you to review or
modify system parameters.
