Introduction
The ST100 Configuration software is a Windows PC application that lets the user easily set up and configure the ST100 Multipoint Flow Meter prod-
ucts. Use this tool for all instrument commissioning activity. Note that the software application serves both ST100 Series and MT100 product lines.
This manual, however, covers operation with ST100 only (software version 3.1.0.x).
Installation
Find the Software Configurator MSI install file in the Software folder on the product documentation CD or downloaded over the web. The file can be
identified by name – ST MT100 Configurator v3100.msi. Copy this file to a location on your PC designated for ST100 documentation.
Run the MSI installer file (make sure you have administrative rights to install) and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The
installation process places an application shortcut icon of a stylized meter face on the Windows desktop: The installer also creates a folder
in the Start Menu named Fluid Components Intl, which contains another program shortcut.
Running the PC Conguration Application
Connect the host PC via USB or Ethernet as required for the application:
• Use Ethernet for remote applications in which the host PC communicates with the instrument over an Ethernet network. Refer to “Advanced
Setup Tab Screens” on page 7 for info on setting Ethernet address values. Connect the instrument to a 100Base-T compatible network
switch or hub using a Cat-5 Ethernet patch cable.
• Use USB for local host PC connection to the instrument. Connect the instrument to the PC USB port using the USB cable provided (Type A to
Type A, male-male; passive, straight-through type).
The ST100 USB and Ethernet connectors are located on the customer interface board as shown in the figure below (remove blind lid for access).
Figure 1 – USB & Ethernet Connectors on Customer Interface Board (Digital Interface Shown)
Note : To avoid any connection problems make sure the ST100 is fully booted before connecting to the PC USB port and/or launching
the ST100 Configuration software.
Caution : A host PC connection is intended for temporary use only. Do not make the PC/network connection part of the permanent installation.
Double click the ST100 Configurator icon. The application opens to the Welcome screen as shown in the figure below. Click the appropriate connect but-
ton, USB Connect or Ethernet Connect, at the top of the screen to let the PC communicate with the instrument (with cable connection already made).

Once connected, the application window shows the Process Data screen as shown in the figure below. The displayed information, which is the same
as that shown on the HMI front panel display, includes the following:
• Flow as percent of range (scale)
• Flow with engineering units
• Total Flow (if Mass or Volumetric units used)
• Temperature
• Pressure (for STP Series only)
• Calibration Group number and Group name
• Alarm/Fault indicators

Password Protection
To protect against unwanted/unauthorized change, two levels of password protection are provided: User and Factory. The User level pass-
word is associated with common user-accessed parameters that can only be changed after entering the User password. The Factory level
password is associated with more sensitive programming that can only be modified by the factory or its representatives. The dialog box for
password entry is shown below. When prompted, type the password and then click OK. The User password is: 2772. The password is also
shown in this manual with the tab summary tables.
Conguration Software Basics
The ST100 is set up using a configuration menu arranged in a hierarchical tree structure on the left side of the window. Select a menu item to see the
related tabs on the right side of the window. Within the tab area parameter data is typically organized into one or more data fields, which are set off
with a thin divider line or a thin box outline.
Many screens show Get from Device and/or Send to Device buttons at the bottom portion of the window. These buttons are shown if the window
tab includes parameter data that can be retrieved from the instrument for display (Get from Device) and/or transmitted to the instrument for
programming (Send to Device). The Send to Device button is normally grayed out (inactive) initially until a change is made in a data field. Once a
parameter change is detected, the Send to Device button becomes active as shown by its solid appearance.
Figure 4 – Basic Application Screen Elements
Note : Once the PC’s configuration software is communicating with the instrument, some HMI display items/menus are inactive due
to control being handed over to the configuration application. For example, front panel selection of groups in the Service menu
(HMI Setup mode) is inactive. Inactive HMI display menu items are shown with an asterisk (for example, Select Group*).
Click Disconnect to break the connection between the PC and ST100. Click the application window Close button or type ALT+F4 (with the applica-
tion window having the focus) to quit the application altogether.

AST Power Mode
For ST100 units with AST only: Sets heater mode (Constant Delta T
[AST] or Constant Power) and max. heater current for AST (90 mA or 105
mA). The max. current value forms the threshold at which the instrument
switches over to Constant Power mode.
User
Note 1. To set HART operation, select HART Flow from 4-20 mA #1 drop-down list (in Analog Output Selection field).
Note 2. Digital busses (includes HART, Modbus, and FF/Profibus) are mutually exclusive, meaning only one can be active at
a time. Attempting to enable HART when Modbus or FF/Profibus is in effect causes the Digital Bus Deactivation Warning
dialog to display: Click OK to make the change and force the Digital Output Selection to None or click Cancel to leave the
setting unchanged. Attempting to enable Modbus or FF/Profibus when HART is in effect causes the HART Deactivation
Warning dialog to display: Click OK to make the change and force the 4-20 mA #1 Selection to Flow or click Cancel to leave
the setting unchanged.
