S600+ Instruction Manual
1-4 General Information Revised July-2017
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.
