Highly scalable technology platform

24 November 2008

Emerson Process Management has unveiled a highly scalable technology platform with the introduction of its FloBoss107 Flow Manager. The FloBoss 107 features dynamic configuration software and an LCD touchpad to enhance ease of use. The technology platform will serve as the basis for future product introductions and as an upgrade to current products.

Highly scalable technology platform

This platform uses a modular, highly-expandable architecture that consists of plug-in modules for the central processing unit, input/output, and communications. The modules plug into a four-slot base chassis. When additional capacity is needed, an expansion rack provides four additional slots for communication or I/O modules.

The LCD Touchpad lets users perform many of the functions previously requiring a separate operator interface. The touchpad is transreflective for high visibility even in bright sunlight and is backlit for night viewing.

Dynamic Interface is a feature of Roclink 800, the configuration software used with the FloBoss 107. Dynamic Interface is a way of graphically configuring the FloBoss 107 and offers enhanced diagnosis of integrity and alarm conditions.

The FloBoss 107 supports IEC 61131-3 compliant programming. The five languages supported are sequential function chart, function block diagram, ladder diagram, structured text, and instruction list.
