1.1 Scope and Organization
This document serves as the user manual for the Cause and Effect
Manager program, which is intended for use in a FloBoss 107 (FB107).
This manual describes how to download, install, and configure the Cause
and Effect Manager program (referred to as the “Cause and Effect
program” or “the program” throughout the rest of this manual). You
access and configure this program using ROCLINK™ 800 Configuration
Software (version 2.10 or greater) loaded on a personal computer (PC)
running Windows® 2000 (with Service Pack 2), Windows XP (with
Service Pack 3), Windows Vista
™
(32-bit), or Windows 7 (32-bit).
The sections in this manual provide information in a sequence appropriate
for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the procedures and the
software, the manual becomes a reference tool.
This manual has the following major sections:
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Installation
Chapter 3 – Configuration
Chapter 4 – Reference

1.2 Product Overview
The Cause & Effect Manager user program for the FB107 supports 64
causes and 32 effects. The program is designed to allow you to configure the
FB107 to do logical operations without writing FSTs. A Cause typically
monitors a selected point that would be logically evaluated against a user
defined set-point. Any tripped Cause linked to an Effect forces the action
defined in that Effect. An example of this would be a gas application
Issued Aug-14 1
Cause and Effect Manager Program User Manual (FB107)
Cause precondition evaluation must be satisfied before a trip is possible.
Effect last four tattletales that show the order of multiple causes tripped.
monitoring multiple gas quality limits defined as Causes (BTU, H2S,
Nitrogen, CO2, etc) which are linked to a slam valve (which is the Effect).
The layout of the configuration screens is such that you can configure logic
by inputting entries from a Cause and Effect matrix. In many cases, you can
input the effects and causes line by line through the entire matrix.
Features
Cause compound primary and secondary conditions that trips the cause
based on “And / Or” evaluation.
Cause operators that allow selectable evaluations or operations (logical,
mathematical, watchdog and data movement).
Cause condition and precondition timer delays.
Cause condition deadbands.
Caused definitions for up to 16 effect link assignments.
Cause trips that clear automatically when the condition clears or trips
that are reset controlled.
Cause alarming to the ROC alarm log for trips and/or clears.
Effect active/inactive values or states that are definable.
Effect selectable option to assert those values continuously or not.
Effect usage that defines its behavior as a normal effect or a reset point
(i.e. reset push button).
Effect delay timer.
1.3 Program Requirements

of the FB107 firmware and with version 2.10 (or greater) of the ROCLINK
