Emerson FloBoss™ S600+ Flow Computer

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.

Inputs/Outputs

The S600+ is supplied with one I/O (P144) module with one Pulse Mezzanine (P148) module. 

This provides multiple digital, analog, and pulse inputs and outputs. You can add two additional expansion modules to the S600+. 

The following expansion modules are available:

▪ I/O (P144) module – Provides additional analog and digital I/O.

▪ Prover (P154) module – Provides I/O for applications with a prover.

▪ HART (P188) module – Provides I/O for applications with HART transmitters.

▪ Pulse Mezzanine (P148) module – Provides pulse input capability.

Note: The Pulse Mezzanine module is installed as a daughterboard on an P144 or P154 module, and does not use an additional module slot.

Configuration

Configuration of the S600+ is done through the same Windows-based intelligent set-up tool as the S600 (Config600 Lite, Config600 Lite+, or Config600 Pro).

You can create or edit configuration files using Config600 Lite+ and Config600 Pro (refer to Specification Sheet Config600). 

The S600+ provides the following functions through the Config600 configuration tool:

▪ Stream and station totalization.

▪ Batch totalization and retro-calculation.

▪ 3-term PID control with optional secondary control.

▪ Flow balancing.

▪ Flow scheduling.
