3.1 P152 CPU Board

The P152 CPU board 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 board.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for an illustration of the P152 CPU board backplate
and to Figure 3-2 for a schematic of the CPU power terminations. The
board uses additional connectors and bit links (jumpers), which are set
at the factory prior to shipping.
It is recommended that all wiring be made with stranded wire that is no
larger than 1.5 mm2. For the communication ports, wiring of 1.75 mm2
to 1.65 mm2 is recommended. Power wiring is recommended to be 1.5
mm2. Observe all local wiring practices and regulations.

Do not use a Mega or similar instrument to check for isolation or

Caution 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 P152 CPU board. 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 24 Volts dc power source capable of
supplying 2 Amps. The S600 operations between 20 and 32 Volts dc.

Revised Jan-07 CPU 3-3

S600 Instruction Manual

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 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. These outputs
are protected by resettable thermal fuses.

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. The TB-1 pin connections are shown in Table 3-2. 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. The watchdog period is 2.5 seconds
maximum.

Note: Contact is rated at 1 Amp, 30 Volts dc and 30 Volts ac, and is a

Form “C” contact.

7 Common
8 Normally Open

3.2.2 On-Board Battery Backup

The battery backup is used to retain the contents of the SRAM on the
P152 CPU, the PC compatible BIOS CMOS memory area, and the
calendar clock. The battery is a board-mounted, nickel-metal hydride
cell. The standard battery is a Ni-MH rechargeable 3.6 volt, 140
mAmp/hour unit. Table 3-3 provides battery specifications.
To ensure that the battery is fully functional, the S600 software
routinely performs a regular load test on the unit.

Note: A voltage-sensing circuit monitors the status of this battery, and

raises an alarm if the battery voltage drops below the predefined limit.
Should this condition arise, please contact your local service centre or
factory for further assistance.

3.3 Communication Ports

The S600 CPU has nine standard communication ports (eight serial
and one Ethernet). Table 3-4 details the communications ports.

Note: Comm Ports 1 and 8 contain internal connections to other boards

in the S600 which are not available for external host or local operator
communications. You can use Comm Port 1 to route Remote Display
connections. Comm Port 2 is normally reserved for Config600/IPL
600.

Comm 1 COM1-2 Internal (Connection to Front Panel Keypad)
Comm 2 COM1-2 Config600/IPL 600

Comm 4 COM4 EIA-232 (RS-232)
Comm 5, 6 & 7 TB2 EIA-422 (RS-422) or EIA-485 (RS-485)
Comm 8 Remote I/O External (Reserved for future use) and Internal
(Connection to I/O Boards)
Comm 9 Network Ethernet

For information on the communications port on the front panel which

can also act as Comm 2, refer to Chapter 5, Front Panel. For
information on the optional second Ethernet port, refer to Section 3.6,
Dual Ethernet LAN Port.

3.3.1 EIA-232 (RS-232) Serial Port

Two EIA-232 (RS-232D) communications ports are provided on the
P152 CPU board’s backplate. The ports use FCC-68 RJ-45 connectors
and are labeled COM3 and COM4. The COM3 and COM4 pin
connections are shown in Table 3-5. Figure 3-4 shows a sample pin
connection.
Converters are commercially available to configure either 9-way D
type or 25-way D type connection. The ports support baud rates from
300 to 38400 bps.

The maximum cable length is a function of the baud rate and quality of
cable used. For example, a maximum length of 15 m (50 ft) should be
used at 19200 bps when using unscreened cable.
Connect ports to the peripheral devices using multi-conductor, shielded
cable. It is recommended (especially in noisy environments) that you
connect the cable screen to protective earth to keep the signal ground
separate.

3.3.2 EIA-422 (RS-422)/EIA-485 (RS-485) Multi-drop Port

Three EIA-422 (RS-422) or EIA-485 (RS-485) ports are located on the
P152 CPU board. These provide high speed/long distance links of up
to 38400 bps and 1200 m (4000 ft). The ports use the connector labeled
TB-2, which is COM5, COM6, and COM7. Table 3-6 shows the
COM5, COM6, and COM7 pin connections.

Note: For two-wire EIA-485 (RS-485) installations, jumper TX+ to

RX+ and TX- to RX- on the TB-2 connector on the P152 CPU board.

3.3.3 Ethernet LAN Port

The standard Ethernet port on the CPU card’s backplate is for high-
speed communications using an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN)
architecture. The speed of data transfer is 10M bps when using
10BaseT twisted pair cable.
Using a FCC-68 RJ-45 connector, the port is labeled Network on the
P152 CPU’s backplate. It is the standard Ethernet port. No hardware
configuration or wiring is required for this communications port.

Note: For information on the optional second Ethernet port, refer to

Section 3.6, Dual Ethernet LAN Port.

3.3.4 Local Operator PC or Remote Display Port

Use the connector labeled COM1-2 on the P152 CPU board’s
backplate to connect the S600 to a remote display (COM1) or the host
PC (COM2). Do not modify the COM1-2 port for other functions.
The COM1-2 port uses a standard 15-way D-type female connector.
The COM1-2 pin connections are shown in Table 3-7.
Use only shielded, multi-conductor cable to connect to the COM1-2
port. It is recommended—particularly in noisy environments—that you
connect the cable shield to earth ground to keep the signal ground
separate.

Note: The bit link is for factory use only. Do not reconfigure the bit
link for COM1 and COM2 (bit link 11).

Connecting to the A special serial cable is required to connect the host PC to the FloBoss
S600 S600 unit. A ready-made link cable is available for a PC with a 9-pin
serial port.
Alternatively, you may fabricate your own link cable using the wiring
details in Figure 3-4.

Note: Due to the high baud rate used for the communications between
the host PC and the S600, restrict the maximum cable length to 5 m
(15 ft).

3.6 Dual Ethernet LAN Port

The optional P190 second Ethernet port on the S600 is for high-speed
communications using an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN)
architecture. The speed of data transfer is 10M bps when using
10BaseT twisted pair cable.

Note: Refer to Section 3.3.3, Ethernet LAN Port, for information on

the standard Ethernet port.

The P190 Dual Ethernet communications port is comprised of a

mezzanine card and a port backplate with a FCC-68 RJ-45 connector.
Refer to Figure 3-5.
The mezzanine card plugs into the PC/104 slot on the P152 CPU
board.

Figure 3-6. Dual Ethernet Communications Card

The second Ethernet port is usually shipped from the factory pre-
installed. If pre-installed, no hardware configuration or wiring is
required.
For field installation, the second Ethernet board is provided with a
specialized backplate.

Note: Before you use this port, verify the IP settings of the port on the
front panel. From the Startup menu, select Network Setup > Network
I/F 2. If no addresses have been assigned, you must assign them.
Exercise caution: Network I/F 1 and Network I/F 2 must each have
different subnet masks.

Do not use a Mega or similar instrument to check for isolation or

Caution continuity between signals on any of the S600 connectors. These
instruments produce voltages far in excess of design parameters and
may damage the S600.

4.1 P144 I/O Board

The P144 I/O board measures process signals the CPU uses while
running the flow computer functions. The I/O board is comprised of 12
analogue inputs (AI) , 4 analogue outputs (AO), 16 digital inputs (DI) ,
12 digital outputs (DO), 4 pulse inputs (PI), 5 pulse outputs (PO), 3
frequency (density) inputs, and 3 PRT/RTD inputs. Refer to Figure 4-2
for the P144 I/O board terminations.
For field wiring, the S600 backplate provides three low-density D-type
connectors labeled SKT-A, SKT-B, and SKT-C (refer to Figure 4-1).
