Revised Mar-11 General Information 1-3

S600+ Instruction Manual

The S600+ uses distributed processing to achieve maximum

performance. The CPU module incorporates a hardware floating point
processor. Each additional module also has local processing to convert
inputs and output from engineering units to field values and vice-versa,
as well as running background tests and PID loops.
The firmware uses 64-bit (double) precision floating point numbers for
the highest accuracy when performing all metering calculations.
Cumulative totals are stored in three separate memory locations (Tri-
reg format) for maximum integrity. The user language LogiCalc™ also
allows you to perform logical control and double-precision
mathematical functions on the database objects.

2. Place the top of the front panel over the retaining groove on the top
boss and slide the front panel downwards.
3. Secure the front panel by placing the hex cap screw into its recess
in the bottom centre of the front panel.
4. Using a 2.5 mm Allen key, tighten the screw finger-tight. Turn an
additional 180 degrees clockwise to complete the installation.

Note: Replace the security cap if one was originally fitted.

Do not over-tighten the screw. Over-tightening will damage the panel

Caution face.

2.5 Installing and Removing Modules

The S600+ ships with the CPU and I/O modules already installed.
Follow this procedure if you need to remove the modules for
maintenance or upgrade purposes.
The CPU module is located in the left-most rear slot of the case. You
can insert I/O modules in the remaining slots or leave them empty.
Cover any empty slots with the blank cover plates.

Take suitable electrostatic discharge precautions before you remove

Caution any of the modules.
The terminals on some modules may be wired to electrical potentials
sufficiently high to cause electrical shock and injury. Turn off and
discharge any power sources for connected devices before you
perform any installation or repair work.

Removal To remove a module:

1. Power down the S600+ before you attempt to extract a module.
2. Unscrew the retention screws before you attempt to remove a
module. This avoids damage to the ejectors (refer to Figure 2-8).

bottom of the case). Gently slide the module into the case until it
seats fully with the appropriate connector on the backplane.
2. Press each of the two ejectors securely into place once the module
is fully inserted.

Inserting and seating a module along the guides does not require
Caution excessive force. Take care not to twist or otherwise distort the module
during the installation.

3. Secure the module with the retention screws (two per board).

2.6 Installing EMC Protection

Your site may require you to install electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) shielding on the S600+ to minimize electromagnetic
interference. The S600+ EMC protection kit (which came with your
S600+) typically has the following components:
ƒ 1 security backplate (place over the installed modules)
ƒ 1 25-way EMISTOP Inline T Filter Adaptor (attach to the 25-pin
socket A on the I/O module)
ƒ 1 37-way EMISTOP Inline T Filter Adaptor (attach to the 37-pin
socket B on the I/O module)
ƒ 3 large (for 13mm cable) ferrite clamps
ƒ 3 medium (for 10mm cables) ferrite clamps
ƒ 1 small (for 6.5mm cables) ferrite clamp

3.1 CPU Module (P152)

The CPU module contains the host processor and associated
peripherals, which form the heart of the S600+ system. Various plug-in
connections are provided on the rear backplate of the CPU module.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for an illustration of the CPU module backplate
and to Figure 3-2 for a schematic of the CPU power terminations.
Figure 3-3 shows the wiring terminations. Additionally, the module
uses connectors and jumpers, which are set at the factory prior to
shipping. See Section 3.5, Jumpers for further information.
It is recommended that all wiring be made with stranded wire that is no
larger than 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2) For the communication ports, wiring
of 1.75 mm2 to 1.65 mm2 (0.0027 in2 to 0.0025 in2) is recommended.
Power wiring is recommended to be 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2). Observe all
local wiring practices and regulations.

Do not use a Mega or similar instrument to check for isolation or

Caution continuity between signals on any of the S600+ connectors. These
instruments produce voltages far in excess of design parameters and
may damage the S600+ or its connectors.

3.2 Power Supply

The power connection is a plug-in, standard 5 mm pitch screw terminal
block on the CPU module. The power supply connector is labeled TB-
1. Refer to Table 3-1 for the TB-1 pin connections.
Power the S600+ using a nominal 30 Volts dc power source capable of
supplying 2 Amps. The S600+ operates between 20 and 32 Volt dc.
The startup in-rush current may draw 6 amps for approximately 100
milliseconds. This in-rush becomes significant when multiple flow
computers are connected to the same power supply.
An on-board anti-surge fuse (2.5 Amp rating) protects the supply line
should a fault occur within the unit.
Fully regulated 15 and 24 Volts dc supplies are also available for
applications such as powering loops or pre-amplifiers. Resettable
thermal fuses protect these outputs.

case.
5. Place the CPU module on a flat anti-static surface so that the
battery faces up (as shown in Figure 3-2).
6. Use a small screwdriver to carefully prise the battery out of its
holder.

Note: The CPU module is designed to hold sufficient charge to

provide time (3-5 minutes) for you to replace the battery.

7. Replace the battery with an exact duplicate (Lithium 3V 1500

mAh, part number S600+BATTERY).
8. Slide the CPU module back into the S600+ case, ensuring that it
seats firmly into its connectors.
9. Secure the retention screws.

Note: If appropriate, replace the EMC backplate.

10. Reconnect wiring and apply power to the S600+.

3.3 Communication Ports

The CPU has 12 standard communication ports: nine serial and two
Ethernet (see Figure 3-1). Table 3-3 details the communications ports.
COM 1-7 Comm ports 1 through 7 are essentially unchanged from previous
versions of the S600.
Comm ports 1 and 7 contain internal connections to other boards in the
S600+ which are not available for external host or local operator
communications. You can use Comm Port 3 or 4 to route Remote
Display connections. Comm 1 (located at the base of the faceplate) is
reserved for Config Transfer functions.

 S600+ Instruction Manual

The maximum cable length is a function of the baud rate and quality of
cable used. For example, a maximum length of 15 m (50 ft) should be
used at 19200 bps when using unscreened cable.
Connect ports to the peripheral devices using multi-conductor, shielded
cable not longer than 8 meters (approx. 25 feet). We recommended
(especially in noisy environments) that you connect the cable screen to
protective earth to keep the signal ground separate.

3.3.2 EIA-422 (RS-422)/EIA-485 (RS-485) Multi-drop Port

The CPU module provides three EIA-422 (RS-422) or EIA-485 (RS-
485) ports, labeled COM5, COM6, and COM7. These provide high
speed/long distance links of up to 57600 bps and 1200 m (4000 ft). The
ports use the connector labeled TB-2. Table 3-5 shows the COM5,
COM6, and COM7 pin connections.

Note: Jumpers on the enhanced CPU module now provide RS-485

linking, so that wire linking is no longer necessary. If the cable
is already linked (as in an upgrade), you do not need to remove
the linked pairs.

3.3.3 Ethernet LAN Ports

The CPU module provides two Ethernet ports – NTWK1 and NTWK2
– for high-speed communications using an Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN) architecture. The speed of data transfer is 100Mb full
duplex when using 100BASE-T twisted pair cable.
These ports use a FCC-68 RJ-45 connector. No hardware configuration
or wiring is required for these communications ports.

3.3.4 Local Operator PC or Remote Display Port

You can configure COM3 or COM4 to connect the S600+ to a remote
display or the host PC (COM2).
Use only shielded, multi-conductor cable to connect to the COM3-4
port. It is recommended—particularly in noisy environments—that you

Revised Mar-11 CPU Module 3-7

S600+ Instruction Manual

connect the cable shield to earth ground to keep the signal ground
separate.
Connecting to You need a special serial cable to connect the host PC to the S600+. A
the S600+ ready-made link cable (part number 3080017) is available for a PC
with a 9-pin serial port.
Alternatively, you may fabricate your own link cable using the wiring
details in Figure 3-65.

Note: Due to the high baud rate used for the communications between
the host PC and the S600+, restrict the maximum cable length
to 5 m (15 ft).

4.1.1 Analogue Inputs (ANIN)

Each I/O module has two fully floating A/D converters, each
measuring five single-ended analogue input (ANIN) channels. Each
channel (ANIN 1-10) is configurable within a 0 to 5.25 volt or 0 to 22

Revised Mar-11 I/O 4-3

S600+ Instruction Manual

mA input range. The module also provides two current-only inputs

(ANIN 11 and 12), for a total of 12 analogue inputs.
The primary measurement for ANIN 1-10 is voltage, which is
compared to a stable reference source. The channels are configurable
to current using a bit link (jumper) on the module to place a high
accuracy calibrated shunt resistor in parallel with the input. Refer to
Figures 4-4 and 4-5.

Set the channels for each A/D converter to the same value to guarantee
Caution accuracy. Set all channels ANIN 1-5 on the first A/D converter for either
voltage or current. Set all channels ANIN 6-10 on the second A/D
converter for either voltage or current. Refer to Table 4-13 for jumper
settings on the I/O module.

Figure 4-4. Analogue Input Schematic (with IS Barrier and using Internal Resistor)

Figure 4-5. Analogue Input Schematic (without IS Barrier and using External Resistor)

The ANIN channels use the connectors labeled SKT-A and SKT-B,
which are located on the backplate of the I/O module. Channels CH1
to CH10 are located on connector SKT-A. Channels CH11 and CH12
are located on connector SKT-B. Refer to Tables 4-1 and 4-2 for the

4.1.5 Turbine Pulse Inputs

With the optional mezzanine module (P148) for pulse inputs installed,
the I/O module supports four pulse inputs either independently or as
two pairs (“dual pulse mode”). Generally, the pulse inputs perform
dual pulse measurement, such as in turbine applications. In dual pulse
mode, you can enable level A or B pulse checking.
Each input has an input range of 1 Hz to 10 kHz. Each channel has live
integrity checking. If cabling faults develop or if the pre-amp power
fails, the software activates a configurable circuit fail alarm.
The electrical connection for these inputs depends on which DPR
mezzanine module is fitted to the I/O module. The dual mezzanine
module accepts pulse inputs from 3.5 Volts dc to 24 Volts dc, when
wired as shown in Figures 4-13 and 4-14. The module cannot accept
NAMUR or current mode preamps without external devices.
The mezzanine module can interface to a variety of preamps, including
the Mercury (formerly Spectra-Tek) F 106 and ST106, Instromet
MK15, Faure Herman FH71 2-wire, Faure Herman FH71 3-wire, ITT
Barton 818U, and Daniel 1838 Preamp.
Table 4-8 shows the dual pulse input pin connections.

4.1.7 Raw Pulse Output (RAWOUT)

The S600+ supports a single raw pulse output, typically used in prover
applications to mimic the turbine signals and send them to the prover
mezzanine card. Refer to Figure 4-16. A 1K ohm resistor is required if
the pulse rate on the prover bus exceeds 1 KHz, if there are more than
three S600+s, or if more than 20 m of cable is required.
Table 4-10 shows the RAWOUT pin connections.

4.1.8 Frequency Inputs

The S600+ typically uses the three supported frequency inputs for
density transducer signals. Each input has an input range of 0 to 10
KHz. Jumpers on the module enable you to set the inputs to be AC- or
DC-coupled. Refer to Figures 4-17 and 4-18.
The frequency input channels use the SKT-B connector, which is
located on the backplate of the I/O module. Table 4-11 shows the
frequency input pin connections.

4.1.9 PRT/RTD Inputs

The S600+ supports three Platinum Resistance Thermometer
(PRT)/Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) inputs. These inputs
are suitable for Class A, 4-wire PRT devices that conform to the BS
EN 60751:1996 standard. The temperature measurement range is –100
to +200°C (–148 to +392°F). The S600+ supports three styles of
PRT/RTD probes:
ƒ DIN (coefficient of 0.00385 ohm/ohms degrees Celsius).
ƒ American Standard (coefficient of 0.003926 ohm/ohms degrees
Centigrade).
ƒ Calendar Van Dusen equations (used to support newer curves
based on the user A, B, C, and R0 coefficients).
The DIN 43760 selection is typical in Europe and common in the
United States, while the American Standard selection coefficient
(alpha) is still common for circumstances where a slightly purer
platinum is used to effect a higher absolute accuracy. You use the
Config600 software to configure the style of PRT/RTD input.
Refer to Figure 4-19 for a wiring schematic. Table 4-12 shows the
PRT/RTD input pin connections.

4.2 Prover Module (P154)

The dedicated Prover interface module (P154) has been designed to
work with compact or small-volume provers; unidirectional provers;
bi-directional provers; and Master Meter provers having one, two, or
four detector switches. The Prover module contains high-resolution
timing circuits, which enable you to use dual chronometry methods.
These increase the apparent resolution for instances when insufficient
meter pulses are present for the prover volume. You can use the S600+
for automatic prover sequences, since it provides 32 digital inputs, 12
digital outputs, 2 frequency (density) inputs, and 4 hardware-assisted
pulse outputs. Refer to Figure 4-22 for the Prover module
terminations.

Note: The Prover module has no analog functions.

For field wiring, the module has three low density D-type connectors:
SKT-D, SKT-E, and SKT-F. Refer to Figure 4-20.

4.3 HART Module (P188)

A 12-channel I/O module provides communications between Highway
Addressable Remote Transducer (HART®) devices and the S600+.
Each digital input channel is capable of handling up to 8 devices (up to
a maximum of 50 transmitters for the HART module). The S600+
supports point-to-point, multi-drop, and dual master architectures.
You make connections through two 25-pin D connectors located on the
backplate of the HART module. Socket A connects to a 25-pin male
connector and socket B connects to a 25-pin female connector. See
Figure 4-31. Tables 4-24 and 4-25 provide pin connection information
for the two ports (SKT-A and SKT-B) respectively. Figures 4-32

5.2 Front Panel Port

The front panel port, located on the bottom of the front panel, is the
primary connection for the Config600 software program to use when
transferring configuration files. The port requires a six-pin RJ-12
connector (part number 3080017) for EIA-232 (RS-232D)
communications (see Figure 5-2).
Table 5-1 shows the pinout connections for a six-pin connector. You
may also want to refer to Table 3-7 in Section 3.3.4, Local Operator
PC or Remote Display Port, which describes the pinouts when using
the 15-way D-type female connector.

 S600+ Instruction Manual

5.3.1 Function Keys (F1 - F4)

The top of the keypad has four yellow function keys numbered F1 to
F4. You can program each F key as a shortcut to a frequently used
display page. Refer to Section 5.10, Assigning a Page to a Function
(F) Key, for the procedure on programming an F key.

5.3.2 Direction and Menu Keys

The large, oval, four-direction arrow key is located just below the
MENU key (see Figure 5-1). Note the directional arrows (c, f, d,
and e) in the surface of the four-direction key. Pressing these arrows
allows you to navigate the display matrix and select parameters or data
items to view or change.
Press MENU to return up one level of the display hierarchy. On a data
page, pressing MENU returns you to the parent menu. On a menu
page, pressing ▲ returns you to the Main menu.

5.3.3 Numeric Keys

The numeric keys occupy the lower part of the keypad. They offer the
full number set (0-9), a minus key (–), and a decimal point (.).
ƒ Numeric 0 to 9: Used to enter or change data and to navigate the
display screens.
ƒ Minus: Used to define the default display on the S600+ or to enter
negative numbers.
You can also use the minus key to define access shortcuts to
frequently used displays. Refer to Section 5.9 for further
information.

5.3.4 Operation Keys

You use the Operation keys in conjunction with the numeric keys to
perform a variety of tasks, including:
ƒ Exponent (EXPT): Use the EXPT key to enter numbers in
scientific notation. For example, if the value you need to enter
exceeds the space available on the display (a maximum of 20
characters), you need to express the data in exponential terms.
ƒ CLEAR: Use the CLEAR key to cancel or exit from the current
operation and return to the previous data display. You can also use
CLEAR to activate the default display (if configured).
ƒ Display (DISP): Use the DISP key to enter the path of a required
display. The Status/ID line at the bottom of every data page shows
the display path.
ƒ Change (CHNG): Use the CHNG key to edit a displayed database
item.

Revised Mar-11 Front Panel 5-3

S600+ Instruction Manual

Note: You can only change items marked with an asterisk (*).

ƒ PRINT: Use the PRINT key to display the print menu, where you
can submit commands for various pre-configured reports or logs to
a printer or computer terminal.
ƒ Enter ( ): Use this key (called the Enter key in this chapter) in
combination with the numeric and CHNG keys to confirm that you
have entered the data correctly and completed an operational
sequence.

5.3.5 Alarm LED and Alarm Keys

Located between the F keys and the MENU key on the keypad is the
Alarm LED and two alarm-related keys, VIEW and ACCEPT.
During normal operations (with no alarms activated), the Alarm LED
is constantly green. The system can trigger an alarm when there is a
malfunction or when measurements exceed the pre-set limits for a
parameter.

At that point, the alarm signal may be relayed to a terminal or klaxon

in the control room. On the S600+ front panel, a flashing red LED
indicates an alarm. The alarm display shows the source of the alarm.
When an alarm activates, the light flashes red until you press VIEW to
display the parameters that have triggered the alarm. You then press
ACCEPT. Once you acknowledge an alarm, the LED light is a
constant red until you clear all the alarm conditions.
Alarm Display The first line of the alarm display indicates the date and time of the
alarm. Until you accept the alarm, the date displays in inverse video
(that is, light letters on a dark background). The second and third lines
describe where the alarm has been activated and its nature. The total
number of alarms (both accepted and unaccepted) appears on the
bottom line of the alarm display.
If you have more than one alarm to view, you can press c or d to
cycle through the alarm display.
After you have viewed all the alarms, press ACCEPT. That notifies
the S600+ that you have viewed all the alarms and are prepared to
acknowledge them all together. The inverse date on all the alarms then
returns to normal video.
Once you clear an alarm condition, its alarm prompt automatically
clears from the display. When you have cleared all the alarms in the
system, the Alarm light resets to a constant green.

Note: If the Alarm LED is orange, refer to Chapter 8,

Troubleshooting.

5.4 LCD Display

The S600+’s LCD front panel display provides up to eight lines of
information displayed as alpha-numeric characters. Displays can be
menus (which typically enable you to access sub-menus) or data pages.
Figure 5-3 shows the S600+ main menu:

8* CALCULATIONS

Figure 5-3. S600+ Main Menu

The S600+ uses all eight lines of the display to show the available
menu options, which are arranged in a hierarchy of menus and
submenus. Each item on menus and associated submenus is numbered,
which enables you to select menu items using the numeric keys on the
keypad.
An asterisk (*) immediately after an option’s number (such as 1*
FLOW RATES) indicates that you can access one or more submenus
from that option. A decimal point (.) immediately after an option’s
number (as in 1. STR01 UVOL FR) indicates the option accesses a
data page but no submenu.
Generally, each data page shows one or more data item(s) from the
S600+ database along with the associated text, units, and description.
Editable An asterisk can also indicate a value you can edit, depending on your
Values security and the database configuration (see Figure 5-4).
An asterisk at the end of a data line indicates a changeable (read/write)
data item. Prompts and messages appear when you enter or edit data
items. Any data displays without asterisks are read-only.

pressing MENU moves you up to the main menu. If you are on a menu
or data display page, you can return directly to the main menu at any
time (except during an edit sequence) by pressing MENU followed by
▲.

Note: If you have pressed CHNG and are therefore in an edit

sequence, the MENU key does not respond until you press
either CLEAR (to abort the change) or Enter (to complete the
change).

5.5.3 Menu Hierarchy

Refer to Appendix B for information on the menus and sub-menus in
the S600+, as well as more information on navigating the front panel
display screens.

5.5.4 Security Codes

Changing options and display values (as well as some operations at the
front panel display) require that you enter a security code. Use the
password assigned to you for your access to the S600+.
Each system user is assigned a security level between 0 (greatest
access to system functions) and 9 (least access to system functions).
Your security level determines the data you can change. Security level
0 is reserved and cannot be used as a login level for users. To assign or
modify security levels, use the Config600 software.

The Exponential (EXPT) key allows you to enter parameters in
scientific notation.
S600+ displays the value in scientific notation if it cannot display the
value as a normal number. Using the Config600 software, you can
force a data value to always display in scientific notation. For further
information, refer either to the Config600 Software User Manual
(Form A6169) or to the online help for the Config600 software.
To enter an exponential value:
1. Key in a value.
2. Press EXPT (an E appears on the display) and then enter the
required power.
3. Press Enter.
For example, to enter the value 0.00000009 as an exponential value,
key in 9.0 or 9, press EXPT, enter 8 (to represent the power), and press
Enter to confirm.

Chapter 6 – Webserver Access

The S600+ has an embedded webserver, which enables you to access
reports, displays, and diagnostics through the Internet. The number of
items available for viewing or modification depends on your defined
security access level (see Section 6.1).
Encryption The S600+ ships with firmware that supports 56 bit encryption. If you
Mode need higher levels of encryption, please contact your sales
representative.

Since this access can provide the ability to change critical S600+
Caution settings, reserve webserver access for a corporate TCP/IP rather than
general public use.

Using any personal computer (PC) with Internet access and Microsoft®
Windows® Internet Explorer® Version 6.0 (or greater) installed, you
can access the S600+ over its Ethernet communications ports. The
configuration file residing on the S600+ must have been created using
Config600 software version 1.4 (or greater).
Browsers For full functionality, Remote Automation Solutions recommends you
use Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or later), although alternate web
browsers may work.

6.1 Defining Webserver Access

Using Config600 software, you must first define the specific content
each security level can view.

Figure 6-1. PCSetup Webserver Access

Revised Mar-11 Webserver Access 6-1

S600+ Instruction Manual

For further information on using this screen, refer to Chapter 7,

Advanced Setup Configuration, in the Config600 Software User
Manual (Form A6169).
Once you complete this security level-access matrix, you can access
the S600+’s webserver over a TCP/IP connection.

Note: For firmware prior to version 06.05, webserver access is

available only through the NTWK1 port on the CPU module.
For firmware at or above version 06.05, webserver access is
available on both the NTWK1 and NTWK2 ports.

6.2 Accessing the S600+

One Point While the S600+ web interface can support up to five concurrent
of Control webserver sessions, it only allows one point of control at a time.
The S600+ gives control—the ability to change data—to the person
who first accesses the device, whether through the S600+ front panel
or through a TCP/IP connection. Anyone else who accesses the S600+,
regardless of access method, can only view data until the first user logs
off.
Control then passes to the next person with sufficient security who
requests that control. Since the S600+ automatically refreshed pages,
the page refresh acts as the request for control.

For this reason, ALWAYS use the Log Off option to exit the webserver
Caution rather than just closing the browser session. Closing the browser
session may not completely relinquish control.

To access the S600+:

1. Connect to the S600+ using the standard communications port.
2. On a PC currently connected to the Internet, open the Windows
Internet Explorer browser (version 6 and greater).
3. Type the IP address of the S600+ in the browser’s URL address bar
(in the format http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) and press Enter.

Note: If encryption has been enabled on the webserver (see

Chapter 5, Section 5.15, Enabling Encryption), you must
type the IP address in the format https://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
(where https indicates a secure server). Depending on your
web browser settings, there may be a short delay followed
by a prompt to accept a certificate when you first connect
to the S600+. To enable communication with the S600+,
you must accept the certificate.

To obtain the IP address for the S600+’s Ethernet port, use the
S600+’s front panel display. From the main menu, select
Tech/Engineer > Communications > Assignment > TCP/IP 1.
4. S600+ displays a dialog box prompting you for a user name and
password (security code).

7.1 Starting the S600+

After you have wired the S600+ for power and connected it to external
devices, you activate it by energizing the external 24 Volts dc power
supply. When the S600+ first receives power, it automatically
performs an initialization sequence, including a self-test routine. The
S600+ displays the message RESETTING, and then automatically
performs a warm start.

7.2 Warm Start

A warm start does not affect the configuration memory (SRAM). The
S600+ continues operation, using the data stored in the configuration
memory just before the restart occurred. It also preserves any current
accumulated values.
During a warm start, the S600+ displays the message RESTARTING.
Following a successful warm start, the S600+ displays the Main menu,
which is the starting point for the display screens. (See the left side of
Figure 7-1; refer to Chapter 5, Front Panel, for more information on
navigating the display screens.)
If the S600+ cannot find a valid configuration, it does not perform a
warm start. Instead, it displays the Startup menu. (See the right side of
Figure 7-1 and refer to Section 7.3, Cold Start, for details.)

7.3 Cold Start

During a cold start, the S600+ copies the configuration file from flash
memory and replaces any online changes that have been made to the
configuration files either since the last ones downloaded from a PC
running Config600 software or since the last backup. During a cold
start, you have the option of keeping or resetting the cumulative totals.
You can only keep totals if the structure of the database has not been
changed.
Use a cold start after you send a new configuration to the S600+ or to
recover from extreme situations, such as a corrupted database. A cold
start builds a new metering database, using the configuration data
stored in the S600+’s flash memory.

Note: You must perform a cold start if you update or otherwise

change the firmware.

7.3.1 Initiating a Cold Start

You initiate a cold start using either of two methods:
ƒ Unpowered.
ƒ Powered with operating S600+.
Unpowered Cold If the S600+ is not powered up, you may set bit link P2 on the CPU
Start module to the closed (cold start) position and then apply power to the
S600+. This displays the Startup menu.

Exercise caution if you set the jumper. When you set the cold start
Caution jumper, remember that the S600+ also uses this setting if it self-starts
for any reason, such as a low-voltage shutdown or recovery from a
malfunction. Remove the cold start jumper setting when you do not
need it. Otherwise, an unplanned restart could result in lost data.

1. Select COLD START from the Startup menu (see Figure 7-1).
2. Press 1 (to keep) or 2 (to reset) the totals.
3. Press 1 to confirm the selection. The S600+ displays the message

8.2 Checklists
This section provides a series of checkpoints for frequent issues.

8.2.1 Power Issues

If you are experiencing trouble with powering up the S600+:
ƒ Check the wiring connections at terminal block TB1 on the CPU
backplate and the wiring at the power source.
ƒ Check the power supply voltage.
ƒ Check the fuse on the CPU module. Refer to Section 8.3.4,
Changing the Fuse.

8.2.2 Startup Menu

If RESETTING, RESTARTING, or the Startup menu does not appear on
the display:
ƒ Check the power supply voltage.
ƒ Check the fuse on the CPU module. Refer to Section 8.3.4,
Changing the Fuse.
After initialization, if the Startup menu appears instead of the Main
menu, select the Warm Start option. If a warm start does not occur:
ƒ Check jumper J2 on the CPU module. If it is in the closed (cold
start) position, then move it into the open (warm start) position to
allow a warm start. This also allows the unit to bypass the Startup
menu in the future.
ƒ Check for a valid configuration. If no configuration is present, refer
to Section 8.3.2, Send and Reflash Config File.
ƒ Check whether a Clear SRAM command has been issued.

8.2.3 Front Panel Lighting

If the Front Panel display is not backlit:
ƒ Check connector (J2) between front panel and main board.
ƒ Check the display for text and numbers. If the screen is entirely
blank, contact your local sales representative or technical support.

8.2.4 Front Panel LED

If the LED on the front panel indicates alarm and malfunction states:
ƒ If the LED is green, then the S600+ is functioning correctly.
ƒ If the LED is red, an alarm state exists. Refer to Section 5.4, Alarm
LED and Alarm Keys, for more information on alarms.
ƒ If the LED is orange, power down the S600+, remove and reseat
the boards, and then re-apply power to the S600+.

8-2 Troubleshooting Revised Mar-11

 S600+ Instruction Manual

Note: The LED is orange while at the Startup menu. If it is still

orange when the configuration is running, contact your local
sales representative or technical support.

8.2.5 I/O LED

If the red or green LEDs on the backplate of the I/O module do not
blink while the S600+ is operating:
ƒ Check the I/O module connections. Power down, remove and
reseat the I/O module, and then re-apply power.
ƒ Check the front panel display and LED. If they are not lit, you may
have a power issue.
ƒ Check with the person who configured the unit whether you have
the correct I/O module fitted.
ƒ Check the running configuration for any BAD TX or BAD RX
messages. From the Main menu, select TECH/ENGINEER >
COMMUNICATIONS > SERIAL PORTS > PORT 08.

8.2.6 I/O Fail Messages

If the front panel displays an I/O Fail message:
ƒ Check the jumper settings on the I/O modules.
ƒ Check the I/O field wiring connections.
ƒ Check that the I/O modules are seated and secured.

8.2.7 Serial Communications

If you are experiencing troubles with a serial communications
connection (EIA-232, EIA-422, or EIA-485):
ƒ Check to make sure power is applied to the S600+.
ƒ Check the wiring to the termination block or connector. Refer to
Chapter 3, CPU.
ƒ Check the communication port settings from the front panel
display.
ƒ Check the Modbus address.
ƒ Check the setting of the termination resistor jumper.

8.3 Procedures
Initiate a cold start after you send a new configuration to the S600+ or
to recover from extreme situations, such as a corrupted database. A
cold start builds a new metering database, using the configuration data
stored in the S600+’s flash memory.

Note: You must perform a cold start if you update or otherwise

change the firmware.

layout and navigation basics of the front panel.
The S600 firmware organizes data in a structured database of
parameters, such as Totals, I/O, and Calculations. The database groups
the parameters logically by data points in a matrix of display screens.
For example, the parameters used for averaging totals are grouped
together.

Note: The content of the display screens is specific to your

application. The menus in this appendix are provided only as
an example. Although details may vary between different
applications, the basic principles described in this appendix
remain the same.

For this appendix, the defaults for the screens assumed a configuration
with two stations (Gas and Liquid) and four streams. The Gas DP
stream is assigned to station 1, and the Liquid Coriolis is assigned to
station 2.
Remember, your specific application may vary from these illustrations.
For example, if your application has fewer stations and more streams,
you will see more stream choices and fewer station choices than shown
in this example. If you have different types of streams, you will see
parameters and submenu choices not listed here. This appendix is
provided as an illustration of how to generally navigate through the
S600 front panel displays.
