You connect a PC running the FBxConnect configuration software to the flow computer using one of the communication ports or through a wireless connection. You can then:
Set parameters within your application
Configure I/O channels
Specify the serial communication method for a port (RS-232 to RS-485) as needed
View or collect audit trail information such as alarm, event, or historical logs
Update system firmware

Physical Security
The flow computer enclosure includes provision for you to padlock the door shut. The fiberglass enclosure supports two padlocks (left in Figure 1-6 ); the aluminum enclosure supports one padlock
(right in Figure 1-6 ).

Alternatively, you can use a pan head screw (#10-32 X 0.81 316 SS or Monel alloy 400) with an Oring (0.15 ID, 0.07 W) in place of one or both door latches to screw the door shut. In this case, you pry off the latch with a flat head screwdriver and pop out the mating cap to free up the holes for the screw.

For ATEX/IEC-compliant installations with the fiberglass enclosure, you must use one of these three choices (padlock, wire seal, or screw).
For either enclosure type, you may apply tamper-evident tape to the four sensor coupling screws and two rotation set screws to provide evidence of unauthorized sensor adjustments. The four coupling screws also include holes through which you could attach a wire seal.
