FB2100 Quick Reference Guide
(Replacement for FloBoss™ 407, 503, and ControlWave” GFC where control is not required)
The FB2100 is a cost-effective low-power field mount flow computer that measures and monitors gas flow for a single
differential or linear meter run.
Designed for simple configuration and ease of use, the cost effective FB2100 flow computer focuses on metering applications
where control is not required. The FB2100 provides a full audit trail, including enhanced history, alarm and event logs. The 1/0
options can be as simple as a single discrete output (DO) for driving an odorizer or can be expanded to give two user
configurable analog (Al or AO) channels and two user configurable discrete (DI, DO or PI) channels. The FB2100 includes power
options for remote sites and flexible communication capabilities for both remote and SCADA connected sites.

The base firmware in the FB2100 flow computer measures
static pressure, differential pressure or pulse frequency, and
temperature for a single meter run. The flow computer
performs gas flow calculations based on those inputs in
either U.S., metric, or other user-selectable units based on
the calculation type.
The firmware supports the following flow calculations:
AGA 3 1992/2013 (volume, mass/density, and
mass/relative density)
ISO 5167 1991/1998/2003 (orifice, Venturi, and nozzle)
Rosemount 405C Compact Orifice and 1595
Conditioning Orifice Plate
McCrometer V-Cone® and Wafer Cone®
NUFLO™ Cone
AGA 7 2006 (pulsed turbine, PD, ultrasonic, and coriolis
meter)
AGA 11 2013
Auto-Adjust™ meter
The firmware supports the following property calculations:
AGA 8 1994 (Detailed, Gross 1, and Gross 2)
NX-19 1962/MOD/VDI/VDE 2040
ISO 12213 2009 (parts 2 and 3)
S-GERG 1991 (Std., Alt 1, Alt 2, and Alt 3)
GPA 2172 2009 (including saturated vapor calculation)
ISO 6976 1995 (Superior and Inferior)
The firmware accepts heating value and relative density
from any of the following sources:
m Fixed value
Periodic download from SCADA
An external signal, such as an analog input
Calculated based on gas composition
The firmware includes the following flow rates and totals:
m Indicated volume
m Corrected (standard) volume
m Mass
NW Energy
The firmware supports a fallback mode when a process
variable's value is questionable. The fallback options can be
one of the following:
m Use last good value
m Use a fixed fallback value
Power Options
Communications Mounting Options
You can power the FB2100 with an external DC power supply The FB2100 has three user selectable serial communications The FB2100 supports either direct mount to a manifold on the
or from an internal rechargeable battery linked to a solar ports with support for RS-232, RS-422, and/or RS-485 pipeline, simple wall mounting or mounted on a two-inch pipe
system. The internal battery can power the FB2100 for up to operation and one optional port that provides Mobile SCADA, with the stainless steel pipe mounting kit.

In addition to the integral pressure sensor, the FB2100
includes the following I/O in the base unit:
m One discrete output (DO)
The DO can be software configured as scaled pulse
output, latched, toggled, momentary, or timed duration
output. The solid state, normally open switch is rated at
500mA and is often used to drive an odorizer.
m OneRTD/PRT (2, 3 or 4 wire)
The FB2100 supports DNP3, Modbus slave (ASCII and RTU),
BSAP and ROC protocols on all serial ports.

Analog Inputs (Al) are individually software configurable for
either 4 to 20mA or 1 to 5 Vdc operation. In order to keep
measurement uncertainty at a minimum, when external
transmitters are being used, both the Al and AO channels
have industry leading measurement accuracy with an
excellent performance over a wide ambient temperature
range.
