FloBoss S600+ Flow Computer | Emerson Custody Transfer & Fiscal Measurement

Overview

The Emerson FloBoss S600+ Flow Computer is a next-generation, panel-mount fiscal flow computer engineered for custody transfer, fiscal metering, and complex pipeline measurement. It delivers industry-leading accuracy, broad standards coverage, and the flexibility to handle both liquid and gas hydrocarbons across upstream, midstream, and downstream. With a robust CPU architecture, reliable I/O, and seamless integration to SCADA/DCS/PLC systems, the S600+ has become the benchmark platform for mission-critical metering where auditability, uptime, and defensible totals are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Multi-Stream & Multi-Station: Supports up to 10 metering streams (configurable) with dual-station capability for simultaneous liquid + gas duties—ideal for mixed terminals and multi-product pipelines.

• High-Precision Engine: Hardware floating-point processing with 64-bit math; resilient data handling preserves integrity and minimizes measurement uncertainty during proving, batch transitions, and stream switching.

• Wide Meter Compatibility: Works with ultrasonic, turbine, Coriolis, positive displacement, orifice, Annubar, and V-Cone®—a single flow computer for mixed fleets and brownfield upgrades.

• Global Compliance: Aligned to API/ASTM/GPA/NORSOK (liquids) and AGA/ISO/GPA/GERG/GOST (gas) for international custody transfer compliance and audit readiness.

• Industrial Connectivity: Dual Ethernet 10/100, serial RS-232/422/485, USB, Modbus TCP/RTU/ASCII, optional HART—ready for modern OT networks and enterprise data flows.

• Remote Access & Config: Embedded secure web interface plus Config600™ for commissioning, optimization, and migration from legacy S600 projects.

• Advanced Logging & Reports: Granular alarms/events with hourly/daily/monthly reporting for reconciliation and regulatory audits; easy export for corporate reporting systems.

• Built for the Field: Panel-mount design with front LCD + keypad for on-skid visibility; robust operation in demanding environments reduces unplanned downtime.

Technical Snapshot 

• Calculations & Performance: Double-precision math for defendable totals; stable uncertainty budgets during proving and batch changes; fast execution for LogiCalcs and report cycles.

• Networking: Two independent Ethernet ports (segregate SCADA vs engineering), time sync/NTP, and secure remote sessions; straightforward handoff to Modbus gateways/OPC servers.

• Data & Security: Configurable users/roles, audit trails, and export workflows; structured reports (hourly/daily/monthly) simplify fiscal reconciliation and third-party audits.

• Migration/Upgrades: Accepts prior S600 configurations via Config600; extend to today’s cybersecurity and reporting expectations with minimal rework and shorter cutovers.

• Meters & Fluids: One platform across crude/refined products, LPG/LNG, wet gas, and condensate; supports the primary elements most operators already deploy.
