1.3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The FloBoss 407 is a microprocessor-based flow computer (see Figure 1-1) that provides functions

required for gas flow measurement and custody transfer in accordance with standards such as AGA

1985 or 1992 orifice metering. More generally, the unit provides on-site functionality for applications

where there is a need for remote monitoring, measurement, data archival, communications, and control.

The design allows the user to configure the FloBoss 407 for specific applications including those

requiring calculations, logic, and sequencing control using function sequence tables, as well as PID

loop control.

The FloBoss 407 is available in two versions based on the type of approval: the standard hazardous

area version, and the Measurement (Industry) Canada custody transfer version, which includes

hazardous area approval. These versions have a number of differences both in firmware and hardware.

Both of these versions are further subdivided by the type of orifice metering calculations (either AGA

1992 or AGA 1985) included in the firmware.

Rev 5/00 1-3

Figure 1-1. FloBoss 407 Flow Manager

Physically, the FloBoss 407 consists of two printed circuit cards, a keypad, and a display housed in a

compact weather-tight case. The printed circuit cards are the processor board and the termination

board.

Built into the termination board are two analog input (AI) channels. Moving a jumper on the

termination board changes one of the built-in analog inputs to a pulse input (PI). The pulse input can be

wired either as a FloBoss-powered or a device-powered, medium-speed pulse counter. The pulse

circuitry is optically coupled to isolate the termination board from the input signal.

In addition, the termination board has slots for four plug-in input/output (I/O) modules (also called

modular I/O). The plug-in I/O modules allow any combination of discrete inputs, discrete outputs,

analog inputs, analog outputs, or pulse inputs an application requires.

NOTE

I/O modules must not be used as flow inputs for Industry Canada approved

FloBoss 407 units.

The built-in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and membrane keypad provide the ability to look at data and

configuration parameters while on site. The keypad also permits limited editing of parameter values.

The FloBoss 407 can have up to four Multi-Variable Sensor (MVS) devices connected to it. The MVS

provides the differential pressure, static pressure, and temperature inputs needed for performing orifice

flow calculations. As many as four MVS devices (one of which can be an integral MVS) can be used

with a FloBoss 407. The integral MVS is factory-mounted to the bottom of the enclosure with a

coupler and further secured with a stiffening plate. For detailed information on the MVS, refer to

Appendix B.

FloBoss 407 Instruction Manual

1-4 Rev 5/00

The FloBoss has two communication ports built in: a local operator interface port and an EIA-232

serial port. A variety of optional plug-in communication cards are available that allow you to add

another communications channel: EIA-232 serial, EIA-422/485 serial, dial-up modem, radio modem,

or leased-line modem communications.

The FloBoss 407 is packaged in a NEMA 4X windowed enclosure that can mount on a wall or a

pipestand. The enclosure, which protects the electronics from physical damage and harsh environ-

ments, is fabricated of die-cast, low-copper aluminum alloy. It consists of four pieces: the body, the

electronics cover, the keypad cover, and the lower cover. Silicone-rubber gaskets seal the unit when the

covers are closed. All covers are secured by captive screws.

Note that for the Measurement Canada version of the FloBoss 407, the electronics cover, and the lower

cover are secured by special captive screws. These screws have holes through the heads for adding

security wire seals according to Measurement (Industry) Canada requirements.

For the standard version of the FloBoss 407, an optional padlock adapter can be added in the field. This

adapter is installed on the captive screw that secures the electronics cover. With the shank (up to 0.25

inch diameter) of the padlock running through the adapter, the screw is inaccessible and the cover

cannot be opened. Refer to Section 2.3 for adapter installation instructions.

The FloBoss 407 unit can be mounted either on a wall or on a 2-inch pipestand (U-bolt mounting kit is

supplied). For installation information, refer to Section 1.4 and Section 2.3.

Configuration of the FloBoss 407, including installing user programs (special versions may be needed

for the Measurement Canada FloBoss), requires a personal computer and ROCLINK Configuration

Software. See Section 1.3.1 for compatible configuration software and its documentation.

For a more details about the FloBoss 407, refer to Section 2.

1.3.1 Related Documents and Compatibility

For software aspects such as configuration, refer to the following manual:

♦Type RL101 ROCLINK Configuration Software User Manual (Form A6051) – ROCLINK

Version 2.1 or greater is required for all Measurement Canada FloBoss 407 units as well as

standard FloBoss units with Version 1.05 firmware or greater. ROCLINK Version 2.1 also

works with standard FloBoss units that have an earlier version of firmware. ROCLINK

Version 2.0 can be used for standard FloBoss units with Version 1.04 or earlier firmware.

For FST information, refer to the following manual:

♦Function Sequence Table User Manual (Form A4625) – Provides information on setting up

an FST to run in the FloBoss, including how to use the FST Editor supplied with the

configuration software.
