1.1 The enCore/enSuite Concept

enCore is the name of an Elster product platform for advanced measure-
ment devices. All enCore devices are based on the same hardware
components and software concepts. Both the hardware and software of
enCore devices have a modular design; the configuration of the process
board equipment is variable, just like the arrangement of software
components. On one hand, the software components consist of basic
functionalities which are provided by the Basic System with its System
Function Blocks (abbreviated as: SFBs) and on the other hand it consists of
application-related functionalities which provide the various Application
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. It depends on the individual device type which functions a device
supports in detail.
enSuite is the name of the PC software supporting all enCore devices along
with a number of other Elster devices. The enSuite software provides tools
for configuration, parameterization, diagnosis, software downloads and other
services.
