1-2 General Information Revised August 2021
The FloBoss S600+ Flow Computer is a panel-mounted (for indooruse) flow computer designed specifically to measure hydrocarbon
liquid and gas where versatility and accuracy matter. The standard
features of the S600+ make it ideal for fiscal measurement, custody
transfer, batch loading, and meter proving applications. The S600+
allows you to configure multi-stream, multi-station applications,
enabling you to simultaneously meter liquids and gasses.
The S600+ is designed for use either as a stand-alone flow computer or
as a system component. The intelligent I/O modules fit both gas and
liquid applications and typically support two dual-pulsed streams and a
header. Adding I/O modules (up to a maximum of three) allows you to
configure up to six dual-pulsed streams or up to 10 single-pulsed
streams and two headers. The S600+ supports orifice, ultrasonic,

The S600+ uses distributed processing to achieve maximum
performance. The CPU module incorporates a hardware floating point
processor. Each additional module also has local processing to convert
inputs and output from engineering units to field values and vice-versa,
as well as running background tests and PID loops.
The firmware uses 64-bit (double) precision floating point numbers for
the highest accuracy when performing all metering calculations.
Cumulative totals are stored in three separate memory locations (Trireg format) for maximum integrity. The user language LogiCalc™ also
allows you to perform logical control and double-precision
mathematical functions on the database objects.

when handling CPU or I/O modules may reset the processor or damage
electronic components, resulting in interrupted operations.
3.1 CPU Module (P152)
The CPU module contains the host processor and associated
peripherals, which form the heart of the S600+ system. Various plug-in
connections are provided on the rear backplate of the CPU module.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for an illustration of the CPU module backplate
and to Figure 3-2 for a schematic of the CPU power terminations.
Figure 3-3 shows the wiring terminations. Additionally, the module
uses connectors and jumpers, which are set at the factory prior to
shipping. See Section 3.5, Jumpers for further information.
It is recommended that all wiring be made with stranded wire that is no
larger than 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2) For the communication ports, wiring
of 1.75 mm2 to 1.65 mm2 (0.0027 in2 to 0.0025 in2) is recommended.
Power wiring is recommended to be 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2). Observe all
local wiring practices and regulations.
Caution
Do not use a Mega or similar instrument to check for isolation or
continuity between signals on any of the S600+ connectors. These
instruments produce voltages far in excess of design parameters and
may damage the S600+ or its connectors.

3.2 Power Supply
The power connection is a plug-in, standard 5 mm pitch screw terminal
block on the CPU module. The power supply connector is labeled TB-
1. Refer to Table 3-1 for the TB-1 pin connections.
Power the S600+ using a nominal 30 Volts dc power source capable of
supplying 2 Amps. The S600+ operates between 20 and 32 Volt dc.
The startup in-rush current may draw 6 amps for approximately 100
milliseconds. This in-rush becomes significant when multiple flow
computers are connected to the same power supply.
An on-board anti-surge fuse (2.5 Amp slow blow rating) protects the
supply line should a fault occur within the unit.
Fully regulated 15 and 24 Volts dc supplies are also available for
applications such as powering loops or pre-amplifiers. Resettable
thermal fuses protect these outputs.

3.2.1 Watchdog Relay
A single pole, double-throw relay with Normally Open or Normally
Closed terminals provides the watchdog status from pins 6, 7, and 8 of
TB-1. Table 3-2 shows the TB-1 pin connections. Connection is
through plug-in, standard 5 mm pitch screw terminals.
The relay is energized during normal operation. A CPU failure causes
the relay to de-energize.
Note: Contact is rated at 1 Amp, 30 Volts dc and 30 Volts ac, and is a

used at 19200 bps when using unscreened cable.
Connect ports to the peripheral devices using multi-conductor, shielded
cable not longer than 8 meters (approx. 25 feet). We recommended
(especially in noisy environments) that you connect the cable screen to
protective earth to keep the signal ground separate.
3.3.2 RS-422/RS-485 Multi-drop Port
The CPU module provides three RS-422 or RS-485 ports, labeled
COM5, COM6, and COM7. These provide high speed/long distance
links of up to 57600 bps and 1200 m (4000 ft). The ports use the
connector labeled TB-2. Table 3-5 shows the COM5, COM6, and
COM7 pin connections.
Note: Jumpers on the enhanced CPU module now provide RS-485
linking, so that wire linking is no longer necessary. If the cable
is already linked (as in an upgrade), you do not need to remove
the linked pairs.
S600+ Instruction Manual

Failure to do this may cause the flow computer to mistakenly attempt
to send packages out of the wrong interface causing communication
problems. However, if this is required then the following steps can be
taken to ensure that when a network cable is disconnected, the
associated Ethernet port is disabled.
Note: This only works when using binary.app 06.22 or above.
To configure the Ethernet port behaviour when a cable is unpluggled:
1. Cold start the FloBoss S600+.
2. Navigate to the Network Setup menu (Option 3).
3. Select Wire Unplug Cfg (Option 3).
4. Select one of the following options:
5. Return to the cold start menu once the correct option has been
selected and restart the machine.
3.3.4 Local Operator PC or Remote Display Port
You can configure COM3 or COM4 to connect the S600+ to a remote
display or the host PC (COM2).
Use only shielded, multi-conductor cable to connect to the COM3-4
port. It is recommended—particularly in noisy environments—that you

4.1.4 Digital Outputs (DIGOUT)
Table 4-5. DIGIN Pin Connections for SKT-C
The S600+ supports 12 digital output (DIGOUT) channels, which are
open collector type outputs. The maximum current rating is 100
mAmps at 24 Volts dc. Output frequencies up to 0.5 Hz are possible.
Carefully check the DC polarity using an external DC supply in series
with the load. When using inductive loads (such as relay coils), place a
diode across the load. Refer to Figures 4-11 and 4-12.
The DIGOUT channels use the connectors labeled SKT-B and SKT-C,
which are located on the backplate of the I/O module. Refer to Tables
4-6 and 4-7 for the DIGOUT pin connections.

4.1.5 Turbine Pulse Inputs
The mezzanine module (P148) provides the I/O module with support
for four pulse inputs either independently or as two pairs ("Dual Pulse
Mode"). Generally, the pulse inputs perform dual pulse measurement,
such as in turbine applications. In dual pulse mode, you can enable
level A or B pulse checking.
Each input has an input range of 1 Hz to 10 kHz. Each channel has live
integrity checking. If cabling faults develop or if the pre-amp power
fails, the software activates a configurable circuit fail alarm.
The electrical connection for these inputs depends on which DPR
mezzanine module is fitted to the I/O module. The dual mezzanine
module accepts pulse inputs from 3.5 Volts dc to 24 Volts dc, when
wired as shown in Figures 4-13 and 4-14. The module cannot accept
NAMUR or current mode preamps without external devices.
The mezzanine module can interface to a variety of preamps, including
the Mercury (formerly Spectra-Tek) F 106 and ST106, Instromet
MK15, Faure Herman FH71 2-wire, Faure Herman FH71 3-wire, ITT
Barton 818U, and Daniel 1838 Preamp.
Table 4-8 shows the dual pulse input pin connections.

The S600+ supports a single raw pulse output, typically used in prover
applications to mimic the turbine signals and send them to the prover
mezzanine card. Refer to Figure 4-16. A 1K ohm resistor is required if
the pulse rate on the prover bus exceeds 1 KHz, if there are more than
three S600+s, or if more than 20 m of cable is required.
Table 4-10 shows the RAWOUT pin connections.

The S600+ typically uses the three supported frequency inputs for
density transducer signals. Each input has an input range of 0 to 10
KHz. Jumpers on the module enable you to set the inputs to be AC- or
DC-coupled. Refer to Figures 4-17 and 4-18.
The frequency input channels use the SKT-B connector, which is
located on the backplate of the I/O module. Table 4-11 shows the
frequency input pin connections.

4.1.9 PRT/RTD Inputs
The S600+ supports three Platinum Resistance Thermometer
(PRT)/Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) inputs. These inputs
are suitable for Class A, 4-wire PRT devices that conform to the BS
EN 60751:1996 standard. The temperature measurement range is –100
to +200°C (–148 to +392°F). The S600+ supports three styles of
PRT/RTD probes:
DIN (coefficient of 0.00385 ohm/ohms degrees Celsius).
American Standard (coefficient of 0.003926 ohm/ohms degrees
Centigrade).
Calendar Van Dusen equations (used to support newer curves
based on the user A, B, C, and R0 coefficients).
The DIN 43760 selection is typical in Europe and common in the
United States, while the American Standard selection coefficient
(alpha) is still common for circumstances where a slightly purer
platinum is used to effect a higher absolute accuracy. You use the
Config600 software to configure the style of PRT/RTD input.
Refer to Figure 4-20 for a wiring schematic. Table 4-12 shows the
PRT/RTD input pin connections.

4.2 Prover Module (P154)
The dedicated Prover interface module (P154) has been designed to
work with compact or small-volume provers; unidirectional provers;
bi-directional provers; and Master Meter provers having one, two, or
four detector switches. The Prover module contains high-resolution
timing circuits, which enable you to use dual chronometry methods.
These increase the apparent resolution for instances when insufficient
meter pulses are present for the prover volume. You can use the S600+
for automatic prover sequences, since it provides 32 digital inputs, 12
digital outputs, 2 frequency (density) inputs, and 4 hardware-assisted
pulse outputs. Refer to Figure 4-22 for the Prover module
terminations.
Note: The Prover module has no analog functions.
For field wiring, the module has three low density D-type connectors:
SKT-D, SKT-E, and SKT-F. Refer to Figure 4-21.

Control then passes to the next person with sufficient security who
requests that control. Since the S600+ automatically refreshed pages,
the page refresh acts as the request for control.
For this reason, ALWAYS use the Log Off option to exit the webserver
rather than just closing the browser session. Closing the browser
session may not completely relinquish control.
To access the S600+:
1. Connect to the S600+ using the standard communications port.
2. On a PC currently connected to the Internet, open the Microsoft
Edge browser.
3. Type the IP address of the S600+ in the browser’s URL address bar
(in the format http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) and press Enter.
To obtain the IP address for the S600+’s Ethernet port, use the
S600+’s front panel display. From the main menu, select
Tech/Engineer > Communications > Assignment > TCP/IP 1.

In This Chapter
7.1 Starting the S600+ ............................................................................ 7-1
This chapter describes procedures for starting and restarting the S600+.
7.1 Starting the S600+
After you have wired the S600+ for power and connected it to external
devices, you activate it by energizing the external 24 Volts dc power
supply. When the S600+ first receives power, it automatically
performs an initialization sequence, including a self-test routine. The
S600+ displays the message RESETTING, and then automatically
performs a warm start.
S600+ Instruction Manual
7.3.1 Initiating a Cold Start ............................................................. 7-2
A warm start does not affect the configuration memory (SRAM). The
S600+ continues operation, using the data stored in the configuration
memory just before the restart occurred. It also preserves any current
accumulated values.
During a warm start, the S600+ displays the message RESTARTING.
Following a successful warm start, the S600+ displays the Main menu,
which is the starting point for the display screens. (See the left side of
Figure 7-1; refer to Chapter 5, Front Panel, for more information on
navigating the display screens.)
If the S600+ cannot find a valid configuration, it does not perform a
warm start. Instead, it displays the Startup menu. (See the right side of
Figure 7-1 and refer to Section 7.3, Cold Start, for details.)
If the S600+ is not powered up, you may set bit link P2 on the CPU

7.3 Cold Start
7.3.1 Initiating a Cold Start
During a cold start, the S600+ copies the configuration file from flash
memory and replaces any online changes that have been made to the
configuration files either since the last ones downloaded from a PC
running Config600 software or since the last backup. During a cold
start, you have the option of keeping or resetting the cumulative totals.
You can only keep totals if the structure of the database has not been
changed.
Use a cold start after you send a new configuration to the S600+ or to
recover from extreme situations, such as a corrupted database. A cold
start builds a new metering database, using the configuration data
stored in the S600+’s flash memory.
Note: You must perform a cold start if you update or otherwise
change the firmware.

Exercise caution if you set the jumper. When you set the cold start
jumper, remember that the S600+ also uses this setting if it self-starts
for any reason, such as a low-voltage shutdown or recovery from a
malfunction. Remove the cold start jumper setting when you do not need it. Otherwise, an unplanned restart could result in lost data.
1. Select COLD START from the Startup menu (see Figure 7-1).

8.2 Checklists
8.2.1 Power Issues
8.2.2 Startup Menu
This section provides a series of checkpoints for frequent issues.
If you are experiencing trouble with powering up the S600+:
Check the wiring connections at terminal block TB1 on the CPU
backplate and the wiring at the power source.
Check the power supply voltage.
Check the fuse on the CPU module. Refer to Section 8.3.4,
Changing the Fuse.
If RESETTING, RESTARTING, or the Startup menu does not appear on

Check the power supply voltage.
Check the fuse on the CPU module. Refer to Section 8.3.4,
Changing the Fuse.
After initialization, if the Startup menu appears instead of the Main
menu, select the Warm Start option. If a warm start does not occur:
Check jumper J2 on the CPU module. If it is in the closed (cold
start) position, then move it into the open (warm start) position to
allow a warm start. This also allows the unit to bypass the Startup
menu in the future.
Check for a valid configuration. If no configuration is present, refer
to Section 8.3.2, Send and Reflash Config File.
Check whether a Clear SRAM command has been issued.
8.2.3 Front Panel Lighting
If the Front Panel display is not backlit:
Check connector (J2) between front panel and main board.
Check the display for text and numbers. If the screen is entirely
blank, contact your local sales representative or technical support.
8.2.4 Front Panel LED
If the LED on the front panel indicates alarm and malfunction states:
If the LED is green, then the S600+ is functioning correctly.
If the LED is red, an alarm state exists. Refer to Section 5.4, Alarm
LED and Alarm Keys, for more information on alarms.
If the LED is orange, power down the S600+, remove and reseat
the boards, and then re-apply power to the S600+.
