OpenBSI

Simply Creative

Emerson’s OpenBSI (Open Bristol System Inter- face) is a set of network setup, communication diag- nostic, and data viewing utilities that provide access to both ControlWave and Network 3000 controllers and RTUs. OpenBSI is the only product available in the industry to bring such unique functionality and ease of use to the network level. At the core is the communication interface, written as a Windows communication server API through which other client applications communicate with the Bristol networks.

OpenBSI supports both serial BSAP protocol and Ethernet Internet Protocol communication to ControlWave and Network 3000 RTUs and control- lers.

OpenBSI Utilities

Above this communication layer are a group of ap- plications known as OpenBSI Utilities. These client utilities communicate through the server to collect and manage data gathered from the network, gen- erate files based on collected historical data, collect alarms, and monitor and control OpenBSI commu- nications.

•Communication engine for PC applications

•Supports ControlWave and Network 3000 serial and IP protocols

•RS 232, Dial-line, cellular, radio, satellite, and Ethernet connections
