5 Reasons To Use TOP Server for Telemetry in Water/Wastewater, Oil & Gas

1. Deep Industry Drivers

2. Polling Engine Scheduler

3. Shared Comms Channels

4. Scan-Rate Limiting & Demand Polling

5. Auto-Demotion

X-Change 2018 – Slide # 14

1 -Deep Experience with Oil & Gas Devices

• TOP Server OPC & Suitelink Server Core• Drivers for

– Bristol/IP– Enron Modbus– Fisher ROC & ROC Plus Serial– Lufkin Modbus (ELAM)– Modbus ASCII, RTU, & TCP/Ethernet w/highly

flexible options– Omni Flow Computer– WITS Level 0 Active & Passive– Weatherford 8500 protocol serial– User Configurable Driver– Custom Interface Driver (CID)

2 - Scheduler

Scheduler takes lumpy polling traffic and helps you spread it out

Great for any 3G/4G telemetry application

X-Change 2018 – Slide # 15

3 - Shared protocols over same serial port

• Multiple field device protocols, one radio network

• Very important for water/wastewater industry and any highly distributed system

X-Change 2018 – Slide # 16

4 - Flexibility: Scan Rate Control

• Each device gets own settings

• Protect the telemetry network

5 - Auto-Demotion

• Keeps scan cycles responsive

• System tags allow runtime tuning from any HMI

TOP Server .NET API

• Single.NET library now available for licensing!

• Objects for channel, device, group, tag settings

• Simple Methods for Engineers!– SetHostAuth (your TOP Server login)

– GetList (i.e list of channels)

– GetProperties (i.e. of an object)

– Add – Update– Delete
