3.6
Multi-module operation
The Flow-X/P flow computers normally have more than one Flow-X module. These modules
can be used in single or multi-module operation. In single module operation, each module
acts as an independent flow computer. In multi-module operation, all modules work
together as one flow computer, with data exchange via the Ethernet interface.

Configuration protection
3.7.1
Parameter locking switch
Each individual Flow-X module has a mechanical parameter locking switch, which prevents
the change of crucial parameters within the program.

3.7.2
Metrological seal
All Flow-X enclosures have the option of sealing the parameter locking switch of the
individual Flow-X modules with a seal. On a Flow-X/P enclosure, one bar is used to seal all
installed Flow-X modules with one lead seal.
3.7.3
Passwords
Access to the parameters and functions of the Flow-X computer via the touchscreen or a
connected computer is password protected.
