Customer provides:

1
Identify PLC/controller
Locate the pasteurizer's PLC or process controller. Most HTST systems use Allen-Bradley CompactLogix or Siemens S7-1200/1500.
2
Connect to network
Connect the Flowstate edge node to the same network as the PLC. Use the OT network, not the IT network.

1
Configure Modbus registers
Map the pasteurizer's critical process variables: product temp (holding tube), divert valve status, flow rate, holding time.
2
Set polling interval
Process pasteurizers need 1-5 second polling for food safety compliance. Set the Modbus read node accordingly.

1
Verify temperatures
Cross-reference Flowstate readings with the pasteurizer's local HMI display. Temperature must match within ±0.5°C for food safety.
