Function Blocks (abbreviated as: AFBs). Owing to this modular design principle, each device can be optimally adapted to individual requirements. The enCore FC1 belongs to the enCore Flow Computer device series (in short: enCore FC). This series comprises several different device types that are used as industrial process computers for special tasks for measuring gas and liquids. -

About this Technical Documentation 2.2 The enCore FC1 Manual at a Glance The FC1 manual has a modular structure; it is made up of several volumes. Apart from the documentation on hand, all other single volumes of the manual cover all devices of the enCore FC series; they are therefore independent of the device type. - Page 9 You can download all other volumes of the manual in PDF format from our Docuthek (www.docuthek.com). In addition, the "Instructions for Use in Legal Metrology" and the "Operating Instructions" are also available in digital form here.
