Edit Flowcomputers - Configure

Configuring Flowcomputer Registers

The configure tab shows all the registers in the flowcomputer and shows the latest data from the most recent polls.

Adding Fields

Fields can only be added to a PLC's modbus map. To add a new field to the modbus map:

Click the 'Add' button (not shown).

Deleting Fields

Fields can only be deleted from a PLC's modbus map. To delete a field:

First highlight the field
Click the 'Delete' button (not shown).

Double clicking on a modbus register will allow the user to edit the field (although this is not possible with an S600 as this features a downloaded modbus map).

Flowcomputer Modbus Maps

Flowcomputers have predefined modbus maps so these maps cannot be altered.

Omni 3000/6000: The modbus map is fixed based on the config selected although some parameters such as security levels and units can be editted.

S600: With an S600 the config is downloaded directly from the flowcomputer so no changes can be made to the fields as they would be lost on the next download.

Import/Export

Selecting the 'Import Modbus Map' item from the 'File' menu will do different things depending on the flowcomputer type. With an Omni 3000/6000, it will reset the configuration file. It will re-download the config from the S600.

For a PLC it will ask you to select the file to import.

The 'Export Modbus Map' menu item is only available for a PLC. It will create an import file based on the current modbus map.
