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-

software

scheduled basis
NetView is the basic conguration 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 conguration 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 congured, 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.
