8.1.
The PC-Software-Concept
In the following, the software concept and enSuite are briefly introduced and the installation is
described. Further details of the software can be found directly in the enSuite online help. Please
also observe the other notes in this chapter before working with the GasLab Q2 via PC.
.
The basic steps that are always necessary when working with enCore devices and the corresponding
enSuite PC software are described. It is therefore recommended to read this section completely
before you start using the device for the first time. It starts with an overview and the installation of
the enSuite software on the computer.
8.1.1. The software blocks (AFBs/SFBs)
GasLab Q2 is based on a Honeywell product platform called enCore. Both the hardware and
software have a modular design. The software blocks consist firstly of the basic functions such as
the I/O coupling or the connection of digital protocol interfaces provided by the basic system with
its SFBs (System Function Blocks).
Secondly, the software blocks consist of application-related functions provided by the various AFBs
(Application Function Blocks). This modular principle enables every device to be tailored perfectly
to individual requirements.
The illustration shows this
principle.

(basic system with SFBs and AFBs)
The device software in every device consists of the following parts:
•
the basic system which contains various basic functions (SFBs) and
•
a number of application-related functions (AFBs).
One AFB for the device-specific properties which is always included bears the
name of the device, in other words Q2.
