This manual describes how to use the Config600™ configuration
software suite of editors (referred to as “Config600”) to configure the
FloBoss™ S600+ Flow Computer (referred to as “S600+”). The
software runs on a personal computer (PC) running Microsoft®
Windows
or 64-bit), Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit), or Server 2003. Refer to the
technical specification Config™ 600 Configuration Software
(Config600).
This manual discusses configuring S600+ options, including
calculations; input/output (I/O); communications; Proportional,
Integral, and Derivative (PID) loops; stations; streams; displays;
Modbus maps; LogiCalc programming; and reports.

Instruction Manual (part D301150X412).
When implementing control using this product, observe best industry
practices as suggested by applicable and appropriate environmental,
health, and safety organizations.
This chapter details the structure of this manual and provides an
overview of the Config600 software.
1.1 Configuration Updates
The S600+ CPU module has also been enhanced and now contains an
upgraded version of firmware. You can download existing
configurations from earlier versions of Config600 without change.
However, if you use the latest version of Config600 to modify an old
configuration, the configuration file upgrades and will work only with
version 8 and above. That means you can no longer use old versions of
Config600 to edit that configuration.
When you open an older configuration in the current version of
Config600, the following dialog box displays:

Config600 Configuration Software User Manual
Notes:
For station summation of stream flowrates to work correctly, all
stations must have at least one stream configured.
Although you can define up to 10 streams, a standard S600+
chassis can hold only three I/O modules. Each I/O module only
has two dual-pulse inputs (2 turbines), so a standard S600+ can
support only six dual-pulse turbine streams. However, it could
support up to 10 single-pulse or 10 single-cell gas DPs.
Config600 uses the options you selected up to this point to
determine operational values, including stream flow rate, density,
flow weighted averages, and other specific values, for each type of
stream (gas, liquid, or RTU).
Note: The Graphic Preview button that appears on this screen

2. Indicate the addresses for up to 10 prover remote streams.
Notes:
This option appears if you define a single liquid station with a
prover option (in Step 4) and no streams (in Step 5).
Alternately, if you define a master meter (MM) prover in Step
4, that selection requires you to define one stream for data (Step
5).
If you define stream 1 and stream 2 in the same S600+, enter
the same Modbus address for each stream. If the streams are in
separate S600+s, enter unique addresses.
Prover remote streams enable you to define Modbus links to
other S600+s. You can then use the station prover defined in
this configuration to prove up to 10 other S600+s.
3. Click Finish to complete the configuration process. (This may take
several seconds to complete.) As the wizard creates the
configuration and saves it to the Configs folder, a dialog box

2.5 Managing Configurations
This section discusses how to save and regenerate a configuration.
2.5.1 Save a Configuration
To avoid losing any work as you develop your configuration, it is a
good practice to save the configuration file after you make any
changes.
Config600 creates a separate folder in your computer’s Config600
folder for each unique configuration. At your request, Config600 saves
the configuration files in your computer’s Configs folder using the file
extension “.cfg” for the master configuration file. Other components
have individual sub-folders:
Reports: Contains the report format files.
Modbus: Contains the Modbus configuration files.
Logicalcs: Contains the custom written files that allow user-
defined functions.
Extras: Stores user-defined look-up tables and configuration
backup files.
To save the configuration file, select File > Save or File > Save As
while in any screen in the PCSetup Editor. To save the configuration
file with a new name, select File > Save As and then select “<new>”
from the list of file names.
2.5.2 Regenerate a Configuration
In the PCSetup Editor, you can edit displays, reports, or Modbus maps
using the Display, Report, or Modbus editors. Use the PCSetup Editor
to edit assignments, values, and modes of data points. Config600 saves
any file modifications in the Config folder and overwrites any previous
modifications.
2-28 PCSetup Editor Revised February 2022
Caution
Regenerating a configuration file results in the loss of any custom
displays or Modbus maps.
2.6 Display Editor
ALWAYS create a backup of your configuration file before using the
any LogiCalcs, displays, reports, or Modbus maps.
Config600 Configuration Software User Manual
Note: To regenerate reports, delete the report and add the report using
PCSetup Editor > System Setup > Reports.
The File > Regenerate command overwrites all modifications to
displays and Modbus maps with the standard displays and Modbus
maps as generated at the build time of the configuration. Modifications
to the settings and assignments in the configuration file (extension
.cfg) are reflected in the regenerated files.
Use the Regenerate command to force configuration setting
modifications to the displays and Modbus maps.
Click the Edit Displays icon on the PCSetup tool bar to open the
Display Editor. Use it to customize the appearance of displays on the
front panel of the S600+. Refer to Chapter 13, Display Editor, for
complete instructions on using this utility.
Note: You can also access this utility either by selecting Tools >
Display Editor from the PCSetup menu bar or by selecting
Start > Config600 3.3 > Display Editor.
2.7 Config Transfer Utility
Click the Config Transfer icon on the PCSetup tool bar to open the
Config Transfer utility. Use it to send new or modified configuration
files to the S600+ using either a dedicated serial port or a TCP/IP
connection. Config Transfer also enables you to retrieve configuration
files from the host PC to the S600+. Refer to Chapter 9, Config
Transfer, for complete instructions on using this utility.
Note: You can also access this utility either by selecting Tools >
Transfer from the PCSetup menu bar or by selecting Start >
Config600 3.3 > Config Transfer.

3.3.3 Default Reports
Config600 provides five default reports:
General Reports: Current (set to print and store five instances).
Base Time 1 Reports:
• Hourly (set to print and store 24 instances of this report).
• Daily (set to print and store 35 instances of this report).
Base Time 2 Reports (reserved for EFM reports):
• Hourly (set to store 840 instances of this report).
• Daily (set to store 35 instances of this report).
3.3.4 Report History
The S600+ saves all periodic reports in circular buffers. For example,
you decide to save five instances of that report. After saving those five
reports and generating reports 6 and 7, the S600+ then overwrites the
data for reports 1 and 2. How many reports you can save is a function
of the available memory on the S600+. Refer to Section 3.3.5, Adding
a General Report to a Configuration for information on the total
number of reports you can save.
Note: If necessary, you can use the Report Editor to change the report
format. Any data existing in Config600 is available for
inclusion on a report, and you can change a report’s format at
any time.

3.4 Totalisations
Click the Totalisation option on the hierarchy to display the
Totalisation screen (Figure 3-8). Use this screen to manage how the
system displays totals.
The Totalisation screen has three components: a Totals Resolutions
pane, a Total Rollover Digit field, and an Increment Cumulatives in
Maintenance Mode check box. Edit the Totals Resolution values using
a dialog (Figure 3-9). For example, if you set the Rollover value to 7
and the Decimal Place value to 3, rollover occurs at 9,999,999.999.
Similarly, if you set Rollover to 4 and Decimal Place to 2, rollover
occurs at 9,999.99.
Notes:
The main calculation routines always use full double-precision
accuracy for all totalisers and maintain accuracy internally, even if
you select a restricted number of decimal places for display and
reporting.
Base Sediment and Water volumes use Standard Volume Units.
This is true even when they are computed as gross volumes.

2. Review the Time Accept value, which S600+ uses to perform time
synchronisation procedures for a supervisory system. Valid values
are:
3-16 System Setup Revised February 2022
Config600 Configuration Software User Manual
Disabled
No time synchronisation is performed via the supervisory
computer. The default is Disabled.
Automatic
Time synchronisation is automatically performed whenever
there is a change in the time or date downloaded from the
supervisory computer. This requires the configuration of the
SYSTEM KPINTARR TIME AND DATE (DLOAD fields) in
the supervisory Modbus Map. When a change is seen in any of
these fields (DLOAD YEAR, DLOAD MONTH, DLOAD
DAY, DLOAD HOUR, DLOAD MINUTE, DLOAD
SECOND), the FloBoss S600+ immediately sets its internal
clock to these values.
It is also possible to configure the FloBoss S600+ to
synchronize the time when requested to do so by the
supervisory computer. This method allows the supervisory
computer to download the new time / date before it is needed
(at least 30 seconds in advance) and the synchronization is then
triggered when required. This triggering is done by using the
SYSTEM KPINT DLOAD TIME ACCEPT parameter. When
this field is set to 1 the FloBoss S600+ immediately sets its
internal clock to the values previously defined in the DLOAD
YEAR, DLOAD MONTH, DLOAD DAY, DLOAD HOUR,
DLOAD MINUTE, DLOAD SECOND fields.
To compensate for any delays in the communications link, a
DLOAD OFFSET value is provided (in seconds). If this is nonzero then the value is added to the required time (For example
if the DLOAD SECOND is set to 30 and the DLOAD OFFSET
is set to 10, then the FloBoss S600+ will set its seconds value
to 40).
More information on time synchronisation via Modbus can be
located in document ‟How To 61” (which can be obtained by
contacting Technical Support).
3. Select the Event Time Change option to raise an event whenever
you change the system time using Modbus.
4. Enter the Zone Hours and Zone Minutes in the Time Zone Offset
pane to set the local time. Local time in each time zone is GMT
plus the curent time zone offset (hours/minutes) for the location.
Revised February 2022 System Setup 3-17

Note: If time synchronization is being performed by a public NTP
server, then the Zone Hours / Zone Minutes fields need to
be updated to reflect the time difference from UTC. This
ensures the flow computer time is correct for its location.
(Public NTP servers send their time as UTC and the

4.8 HART Modules
Each Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) module
supports 12 channels with up to 8 transmitters per channel. However,
the S600+ has an overall restriction of 50 transmitters.
4-22 I/O and Comms Configuration Revised February 2022
Config600 Configuration Software User Manual
Note: You cannot add a HART module definition to an existing
configuration file. If you add a HART module to your S600+,
you must create an entirely new configuration file. Be sure to
assign the I/O module (P144) to address 1 and the HART
module (P188) to address 2.
The S600+ supports 12 channels, with up to 8 sensors multidropped
from each channel. Since each sensor takes approximately 0.5 second
of scan time, the more sensors you add to each channel, the slower the
I/O update time becomes for that channel. Also, the HART module
reads only the HART digital signal, not the channel’s analogue value.
If you require both, you must physically wire the HART signal to an
ADC and HART channel.
By default, the S600+ acts as the primary HART master. Ensure there
is no other primary master connected to the channel. For dual master
support or instructions on how to set the S600+ to secondary master,
contact Technical Support.

4.9 PID Loop Settings
The PID control task provides primary control with secondary override
control (that is, two control loops, each with its own parameters). You
can either select the output according to criteria you can enter or allow
a status input to the task to select the output.
You can configure an individual PID task for each station and stream,
subject to the I/O providing sufficient analog outputs.
Revised February 2022 I/O and Comms Configuration 4-23

Typically, a liquid application has flowrate primary control which
changes to pressure control if the pressure falls too low. A gas
