FloBoss S600 Instruction Manual
♦ 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.
