Thermo EIE

Note: If your Flow Automation devices use native messaging, use the Flow Automation EIE instead of the Thermo EIE.

The Thermo EIE supports Modbus protocol functionality for AutoMATE, AutoPILOT, AutoPILOT PRO, and AutoEXEC devices. It supports a special Modbus protocol for SuperFlo II devices. Like the Modbus EFM EIE, the Thermo EIE supports Enron data groups. AutoMATE, AutoPILOT, AutoPILOT PRO, and AutoEXEC templates can be altered for all supported devices. However, SuperFlo II data groups and data group elements cannot be altered; only minor alterations can be made to the SuperFlo II template (for instance, to default UDC mappings).

Some of the features of the Thermo EIE are cryout support, user-configurable data groups, support for multiple communication formats (RTU, TCP/IP, and ASCII), and dynamic single-register data groups. The SuperFlo II only supports the RTU Modbus communication format.
