Section 4: Operation

This section covers the following topics:
▪
▪
▪
This section describes day-to-day operation of the flow computer including how to turn it on and
off and how to communicate with it.
4.1

Powering Up/Powering Down the Device

DANGER
Do not attempt to connect or disconnect power from the unit in a hazardous area. Ensure the
area is non-hazardous. Failure to do so could result in an explosion.
1.
2.
Note
When you turn power on, the backlight on the HMI module lights, momentarily turns off and then
remains lit while the INPUT LED blinks. After approximately one minute the initialization process
finishes and the HMI starts to display live data.
4.2

Establishing Communications

The flow computer supports three ways to establish communications: through the host SCADA
system, through a local laptop computer running FBxConnect, or through the HMI module.
4.2.1

Communicating with the SCADA Host

Communication to the flow computer through a SCADA host computer requires configuration of
the host computer software, which varies depending upon whether you are using OpenEnterprise

Communicating using the HMI Module
Open the enclosure door.
Terminal block TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) includes connections for DC power (DCIN+, DCIN-) and
battery/ solar power (BATT+, BATT-). The internal battery (which is also used with solar
power) has its own internal connectors.
Plug in TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) to activate DC or battery/solar power. If your device uses an
▪
internal battery and it is not connected, connect it as discussed in
Battery Power.
Unplug TB2 (pins 1,3,5,7) to deactivate DC or battery/solar power.
▪
This turns on (or shuts OFF) power from either an external power supply or the battery
pack/solar panel.
