Software Tools; Base Firmware - Emerson FB1200 Instruction Manual

This capability allows an operator to potentially remain outside the hazardous location and still
communicate with the flow computer. The operator's laptop must have Wi-Fi® capability, line-of-
sight access to the HMI module, and must be loaded with FBxConnect configuration software.
Once connected, the operator can view process values, edit configuration parameters, and collect
logs.
Note
The Mobile SCADA electronics reside inside the HMI module.

Software Tools

The FBxConnect configuration software provides a series of wizards that allow you to perform
configuration activities for the flow computer. You connect a PC running the FBxConnect
configuration software to the flow computer using one of the communication ports or through a
wireless connection. You can then:

Base Firmware

The base firmware in the FB1200 flow computer measures pressure (P), differential pressure (DP),
and temperature (T) for a one or two meter runs. It performs gas flow calculations based on those
inputs in either U.S., metric, or natural gas international units. FBxConnect configuration software
enables you to configure the various features and functions of the firmware.
The firmware supports the following flow calculations:
