EMERSONFloBoss™ S600+ Flow Computer Instruction Manual

need the full functionality of Config600. Details on using Config 

Transfer/IPL600 are provided in the Config600 Software User Manual

(Part D301220X412). 

1.3.1 Config600 Lite

Use the Config 600 Lite software editor suite to modify pre-developed 

configurations, transfer existing configurations, edit items on the front 

panel display, and customise reports. 

Note: You typically use Config600 Lite to custom-configure a new 

S600+ during installation. 

With Config600 Lite you can:

 Edit process configuration data, including orifice size, analog input 

scaling, alarm limits, and keypad values. 

 Build and customise Modbus slave maps, Modbus master polling 

sequences, front panel displays, and period report formats. 

 Customise the alarm system, including alarm groups, suppression, 

and inhibits. 

 Configure system security by setting user names and passwords, 

and assigning access levels for each data object on the displays. 

 Specify the engineering units and totalisation rollover value.

 Reflash the CPU module firmware with software upgrades and 

transfer configurations via the Config Transfer utility (IPL600). 

1.3.2 Config600 Lite Plus

The Config600 Lite Plus software editor suite provides all the 

functionality of the Config600 Lite suite, but adds the ability to create 

a configuration file. 

With Config600 Lite Plus you can: 

 Create a new application from base templates for gas, liquid, and 

prover applications.

 Edit process configuration data, including orifice size, analog input 

scaling, alarm limits, and keypad values. 

 Build and customise Modbus slave maps, Modbus master polling 

sequences, front panel displays, and period report formats. 

 Customise the alarm system, including alarm groups, suppression, 

and inhibits. 

 Configure system security by setting user names and passwords, 

and assigning access levels for each data object on the displays. 

 Specify the engineering units and totalisation rollover value.

 Reflash the CPU module firmware with software upgrades and 

transfer configurations via the Config Transfer utility (IPL600). 

1.3.3 Config600 Pro

Use the Config600 Pro software editor suite to create new 

configurations, modify existing configurations, transfer existing 

configurations, edit items on the front panel display, and edit custom 

reports. 

With Config600 Pro you can: 

 Create a new application from base templates for gas, liquid, and 

prover applications.

 Edit process configuration data, including orifice size, analog input 

scaling, alarm limits, and keypad values.

 Build and customise Modbus slave maps, Modbus master polling 

sequences, front panel displays, and period report formats.

 Specify the engineering units and totalisation rollover value.

 Customise the alarm system, including alarm groups, suppression, 

text, and inhibits.

 Configure system security by setting user names and passwords, 

and assigning access levels for each data object. 

 Add and remove objects from the database. 

 Program special features using LogiCalc.

 Reflash the CPU module firmware with software upgrades and 

transfer configurations via the Config Transfer utility (IPL600). 

Note: To obtain a Config600 Pro license you must first attend and 

successfully complete a training course.
