Emerson FloBoss™ S600+ Flow Computer Communications

Compatibility

The S600+ is fully backwards-compatible with the previous S600 model. The device utilizes existing configurations and tools that you are familiar with.

This saves you time otherwise spent on learning and configuring with new tools, and helps to preserve your previous capital investments. 

You can easily convert existing S600 units to S600+ units, bringing all the benefits of the new product to your existing installation.

The S600+ has been designed to safeguard the future supply and support of the S600 family for many years to come. 

Investing in the new S600+ is low risk because the metrological calculations and code utilized in the S600+ has already been field

proven in the S600. The S600+ provides increased processing power and memory. 

This allows Energy and Transportation Solutions to continue to add new features and functionality to the S600+, and ensures that users continue to benefit from their

investment.

Communications

The S600+ offers multiple communication options that allow you to interface to a variety of devices (including intelligent primary elements such as USM and Coriolis meters, 

for which the S600+ has many embedded drivers). The S600+ can be connected to serial and network printers. 

The increased communication capability of the S600+ enables you to maximize the benefits that are being increasingly realized with these intelligent meters.

Additionally, you can use the same communication ports to access the process data that is calculated and stored by the S600+. 

Available communication interfaces include the following:

▪ Two independent Ethernet 10/100baseT ports.

▪ HART® communication is facilitated using an optional 12-channel HART module, supporting point-to-point and multi-drop architectures (up to 50 transmitters).

▪ An embedded web server allows remote access to the flow computer. This allows for remote diagnostics, report access, and configuration.

Security is provided by way of user name and password protection with a detailed event log for audit purposes. 

Compatible with Windows® Internet Explorer® version 5 or greater (version 9 or greater must use compatibility mode) and Microsoft® Edge™ browser.

▪ Two configurable EIA-232 (RS-232) serial ports for connection to a printer or RTU.

▪ Seven EIA-422/485 (RS-422/RS-485) serial ports (up to 57600 bps baud) for connection to intelligent meters, 

Modbus SCADA data networks, or a DCS Supervisory System.

▪ USB 2.0 port for downloading reports and alarm/event logs.

▪ One dedicated configuration port for connection to the Config600™ configuration software.
