FB1100 Single-Run Explosion-Proof Flow Computer for Gas
The cost-effective FB1100 Explosion-Proof Flow Computer measures and monitors gas flow for a single differential pressure meter run. As well as bringing a new level of measurement confidence, this low-power device can operate independently without external power, for up to one year, making the FB1100 model an ideal replacement for chart recorders. This simple to configure and easy to use model is designed for metering applications where flow control is not required. However, it has the ability to use a single pulse output (DO) for driving an odorizer. The FB1100 Flow Computer is part of Emerson's next-generation FB Automation Platform for measurement and control that offers DeltaV™ FBxConnect™ Configuration Software, our tool for expediting setup and facilitating commonly performed tasks.
FB1200 Multi-Run Explosion-Proof Flow Computer for Gas and Liquids
The FB1200 Flow Computer measures and controls gas and liquids flow for up to two differential pressure or linear meter runs. The rugged housing and multiple I/O, communications, and power options make the FB1200 model an ideal choice for accurate and reliable flow measurement in the harshest conditions. It offers ease of use and is highly configurable with support for multiple flow and fluid property calculations right out of the box. PID control for flow and/or pressure can also be easily configured. To ensure safety, the FB1200 model can also be equipped with an optional Wi-fi solution that allows field personnel to configure the flow computer and retrieve data from outside of the hazardous area. The FB1200 Flow Computer is part of Emerson's next-generation FB Automation Platform for measurement and control that offers DeltaV FBxConnect Configuration Software, our tool for expediting setup and facilitating commonly performed tasks.
DeltaV FBxConnect Configuration Software
DeltaV FBxConnect Configuration Software is a Microsoft® Windows® based program that enables users to easily configure, monitor, service and calibrate FB1000 and FB2000 Series Flow Computers and the DeltaV FB3000 RTU. The Credential Management Tool within the software also allows usernames and passwords to be simultaneously reset on multiple devices to ensure a more cybersecure environment and improve compliance with TSA directives. Designed for ease of use, DeltaV FBxConnect Configuration Software provides at-a-glance monitoring, quick access to commonly performed tasks, and configuration wizards to enable users to quickly deploy our devices. An intuitive, ribbon-based menu system allows users to effortlessly navigate to the configuration screens during setup. In addition, the software offers extensive dropdown menus, radio buttons, and software-selectable I/O and communications to further expedite setup and reduce the likelihood of errors. A global suite of calculations and engineering units are also selectable in the software, ensuring users have a comprehensive tool that serves a range of operational requirements. To further streamline configuration and maintenance, our Field Tools utility has been renamed Launchpad and is now part of DeltaV FBxConnect. Users simply navigate to DeltaV FBxConnect Launchpad (the new name for Field Tools) within DeltaV FBxConnect to access additional Emerson software tools, including ROCLINK™ 800, ControlWave™ DeltaV FBxDesigner™ Programming Software and more.
