Bristol® ControlWave® PAC

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 com- munication interface, written as a Windows com- munication server API through which other client applications communicate with Emerson 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-

OPC Server for interfacing to most HMI software

Harvester collects historical data on request or scheduled basis

NetView is the basic configuration and applica- tion 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, simplifying network setup. Through the NetView Wizard, the necessary network parameters are entered for node and IP address, alarm and mes- sage routing, and network communication media. Once configured, selecting any node allows direct access to the common OpenBSI utilities to repro- gram, download a new application to the node, review communication statistics, view real-time data through DataViewer, and edit controller/RTU proper- ties.
