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

Provides on-line download & signal variable changes

Allows network configuration through NetView

PC and Network communication diagnostics

OPC Server for interfacing to most HMI software

Harvester collects historical data on request or scheduled basis

NetView is the basic configuration and application interface for all network operations. NetView uses a tree structure for network graphical display in the Windows Explorer style. Network nodes can be added on-line by simply dragging the node Icon into the tree. This invokes a configuration Wizard simpli- fying network setup. Through the NetView Wizard, the necessary network parameters are entered for node and IP address, alarm and message routing, and network communication media. Once config- ured, selecting any node allows direct access to the common OpenBSI utilities to reprogram, download a new application to the node, review communication statistics, view real-time data through DataViewer, and edit controller/RTU properties.
