S600+ Instruction Manual
1-4 General Information Revised July-2017
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 (Tri-
reg format) for maximum integrity. The user language LogiCalc™also
allows you to perform logical control and double-precision
mathematical functions on the database objects.

include a Phillips screwdriver, a regular screwdriver, a small
adjustable spanner wrench, and a 2.5mm Allen key.
2.2 Environmental Considerations
The S600+ panel mounted flow computer is designed for use within
the control room. Place it in a position that provides ease of use,
comfort, and safety for operators and maintenance personnel. The
optimum height for viewing and using the display and keypad is at
operator eye level.
Caution
If you install one or more units in a confined space with other heat-
producing equipment, give special attention to the combined heating
effect. This combined heat could increase the environmental
temperature beyond its acceptable threshold, thereby impacting
performance.
2.3 Required Tools for Installation
Before you attempt to install the S600+, ensure that you have the
following tools:
Small flat-blade screwdriver suitable for the slot-headed captive
screws on the rear of the case that secure each plug-in board into
the case.
5.5 mm (5 BA) hex or small adjustable wrench for the front panel
bosses.

2.5 mm Allen key suitable for the hex cap screw on the front face
of the front panel that secures the front panel molding to the case.
2.4 Installing the S600+
Refer to the following procedures for installing the various S600+
components, including the front panel, panel-mounted unit, and
modules.
2.4.1 Unpacking the S600+
Unpack the S600+ carefully and inspect parts for visual damage.
Note: Do not discard packaging material until after you have
identified all pieces of the shipment and you are confident that
all parts are working correctly.
2.4.2 Removing the Front Panel
To begin the mounting process, remove the front panel from the
S600+:
1. Ensure power has been removed from the S600+.
2. Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, remove the hex cap screw from the
bottom centre of the front panel (refer to Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2. Removing the Front Panel
Note: A security cap may cover the hex cap screw.
3. Carefully slide the front panel up 4 mm (0.15 in) to allow it to clear
the retaining groove at the top of the case, and then allow the panel
to come forward to clear the panel case completely (refer to Figure
2-3).

2.4.3 Installing the Panel-Mounted Unit
After removing the front panel, install the panel-mounted unit:
1. Keeping environmental considerations in mind, construct the
framework of the cubicle to support the operating panel.
Note: A standard 483 mm (19 in) rack that is 311 mm (12.25 in)
high can accommodate up to four S600+s provided you
support the rear of the case.
2. Refer to Figure 2-6 and Table 2-1 for position details for two 7 mm
(0.276 in) holes and a cutout. The panel cutout should be
rectangular for each S600+. Allow a tolerance of 3 mm (0.12 in)
on each axis.
