FloBoss S600 Interfaces

1. Does the Operator Interface via the front

display panel change on the FloBoss S600+?

Is the change transparent, or is training

required?

With the exception of a cosmetic change, the front display

panel and operator interface work as before. No re-training is

required.

2. Will the Ethernet ports on the FloBoss S600+

remain as a Modbus over Ethernet interface as

per the current FloBoss S600 machine?

The fi rst Ethernet port on the FloBoss S600+ generally

remains unchanged. A second Ethernet port (previously

available only on an option module) is now standard on

the FloBoss S600+. The supported protocols will remain

Modbus/TCP and Modbus over Ethernet. Previously, both

ports were limited to 10MB/s and half duplex. Now, both

ports have the option of running at 100MB/s in full duplex

mode.

3. The current FloBoss S600 version stores the

required information points in a Modbus

register map. Does this methodology

change on the FloBoss S600+, and are all

information points still available via Modbus

communications?

The Modbus register map remains the same.

4. If the Modbus structure remains, does the

previously-developed Modbus polling for the

existing FloBoss S600 remain the same, or do

we need to define a new software interface for

the FloBoss S600+?

The existing interface remains compatible with the FloBoss

S600+. The available baud rates have increased from

between 300 and 38.400 on the existing FloBoss S600 to

between 2.400 and 57.600 on the new FloBoss S600+.

5. Does the web interface to the existing FloBoss

S600 change on the FloBoss S600+?

The web server interface on the FloBoss S600+ is compatible

with the existing FloBoss S600. We have enhanced the

interface to improve security and provide additional

diagnostic capabilities.
