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 les 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 conguration 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 conguration and application
interface for all network operations. NetView uses
a tree structure for network graphical display in the
Netview - Network conguration
and application Launchpad
Windows Explorer style. Network nodes can be
added on-line by simply dragging the node Icon into
the tree. This invokes a conguration Wizard simpli-
