FLOW PROCESSOR PROGRAMMING
Connect all sensors, transducers, pickups and com-link cables to the EC80 Flow
Processor before powering up the computer. Communication needs to be
established with the EC80 Flow Processor prior to uploading or downloading
a profile. All flow processors, unless specially configured, communicate via an
RS485 connection to the PC. The PC, in conjunction with an RS485 converter is
required for communicating with the flow processor. Ask your sales representative
regarding purchase of USB-to-RS485 converters (PN EF I-7561).
Downloading Proles
Downloading a profile is how you use all the information you programmed into
the IFC GUI to program the flow processor. Follow this procedure to download the
current profile to the flow processor:
1. Click the white box next to Enable on the tool bar.
2. Click the Download icon . All information in the data tables, either blank or
populated, is written to the ow processor.
