Emerson FB1100 Flow Computer Instruction Manual

August 2020 

Introduction 

 

Software Tools 

FBxConnect provides a series of wizards that allow you to perform configuration activities for the 
flow computer. You connect a PC running FBxConnect to the flow computer using one of the 
communication ports or through a wireless connection. You can then:  

 

Set parameters within your application 

 

Configure I/O channels 

 

Specify the serial communication method for a port (RS-232 to RS-485) as needed 

 

View or collect audit trail information such as alarm, event, or historical logs 

 

Update system firmware 

 

Autonomous Measurement Mode 

You can configure the FB1100 Flow Computer to operate as a low power measurement device that 
operates independently for one year. In this autonomous measurement mode, the flow computer 
operates similarly to earlier generation chart recorders, collecting data from non-critical, low-flow 
applications and storing it for later retrieval.  

Autonomous measurement mode supports collection of data from the multi-variable sensor and 
RTD only. This mode requires the lithium battery pack; no external power supply is required. 

You can interact with the device through the HMI module's infrared buttons or through a laptop 
running FBxConnect. To maintain low power consumption for the battery, using this mode limits 
you to 30 minutes of interaction per month. 

See 

Appendix E

 

for more information. 

 

RoHS2 Compliance 

Device with Integral MVS or SP Sensor: 

RoHS (2) EU Directive 2011/65/EU: This product may be considered out-of-scope when used for 
the intended design purpose in a Large Scale Fixed Installation (LSFI).
