OpenBSI
Simply Creative
Emerson’s OpenBSI (Open Bristol System Interface) is a set of network setup, communication diagnostic, and data viewing utilities that provide access
to ControlWave controllers, ow computers 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 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.

added on-line by simply dragging the node Icon into
the tree. This invokes a conguration Wizard simplifying 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 congured, 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.
DataView is an on-line utility used to collect and
display several types of process data, including signal values, data array values, signal lists, and audit
trail information.
Operators have the ability to alter signal values.
Multiple DataView windows may be open simultaneously.

DataView for Real-time data display
WebBSI - WebBSI is a powerful and exible soft-
ware product bringing web technology to all Bristol
automation and SCADA products. WebBSI includes
a set of ActiveX Controls for reading and writing
real-time and historical data, trending, recipe editing
and custom display generation. Through these controls, you can use the standard Microsoft Internet
Explorer web browser to access ControlWave prod-
ucts through a set of supplied HTML web pages.
Real-time ActiveX Controls
One of the many benets OpenBSI brings to you is
our use of open standards such as ActiveX Con-
trols. AcitveX is another of the Microsoft standards,
which allow plug and play with any ActiveX container, using Microsoft ActiveX container technol-
ogy such as Visual Basic, HTML web pages, and

backlled with the missing data. This distributed historical database architecture provides the greatest
data reliability and integrity during communication or
PC failure.
Another important historical feature is the Audit
storage and collection system. The Audit Trail is a
le stored in ControlWave ash memory containing
signicant events and time-stamped alarms. The
alarms stored in the Audit system provide a historical archive in addition to the real-time alarm report-
ing system.
This le is also collected through OpenBSI and
presented as a text le in the PC. This functionality
is extremely useful in providing an event trail during
communication or PC downtime or other system
problem.

Historical Data Collection
High Historical Data Integrity
The ControlWave Historical Data Collection system offers exceptional historical data integrity by
providing time-stamped historical data storage in
ControlWave ash memory. The historical data
is collected, through OpenBSI on a scheduled or
demand basis and converted to .CSV and ODBC
compliant le formats for use in spreadsheets and
reports. If data is missed due to a communication
failure, it is collected when the communication is
reestablished and the PC historical database is
OPC Server
With industry demand for open standards,
ControlWave answers the call by embracing tech-
nologies that open the door for maximizing your
efciency and productivity. The OPC standard was
developed by the OPC Foundation comprised of
hardware and software suppliers from the process
control community. OPC allows the engineer to
select best in class hardware and software with con-
dence in their interoperability. Our OpenBSI OPC
Server was among the rst to comply with the OPC
Foundation alarm and event server specication.

lists are created in each controller that are easily
passed from server to client or slave to master.
BSAP meets the denition of an industry-standard,
open architecture protocol because it conforms to
ISO standards 2629, 1745 and 2111, it is not proprietary in that Emerson does not charge a license fee
and makes the protocol and documentation avail-
able to anyone.
While BSAP is an open protocol, the added functionality of the messages provide much more capa-
bility than is found in other networks.

Modbus is often considered a de-facto standard protocol because of its broad usage as either the primary or a secondary offering in many measurement
and control related products. Even with its common
use, Modbus protocol actually has many variations.
Consider Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII, Master

ControlWave® Express
Generic Serial Interface
The Generic Serial Interface is a user programmable Master and Slave protocol used to send and
receive messages typically with third party serial
ASCII devices. This protocol can be used to interface with such devices and message boards, card
readers and many measurement devices.
Multi-user Security Access
Security is an essential element of any open
system, particularly those with Internet access.
ControlWave employs a User Name/Password ac-
cess system protected by a 56-bit encryption technique through the TCP connection. There can be up
to thirty-two users, who sign-in using their name and
password. Both the name and the password can be
up to sixteen characters.
The security system provides for up to sixty-four
access rights to read and write data values and les
via FTP, access and congure historical and audit
data information, edit conguration, run internal
diagnostics, read and reset system status. It further
allows the programming software to read, write and
download the ControlWave.
The Secure Data Advantage
ControlWave sets a new standard for providing in-
telligent control at the point where control is needed.
Whether you need control on the plant oor or at a
remote site in the “middle of nowhere” ControlWave
is the solution for control, communication and
secure data to help you make the right operating
decisions.
ControlWave was designed to provide the optimum
level of data security using a distributed database
architecture. All data including time & date stamped
alarms, alarm limits, and historical data are stored
locally in each industrially rugged ControlWave,
thereby distributing your data integrity risk. To
further ensure that the data is always current and
historically accurate, the historical data is stored
in non-volatile ash memory within ControlWave.
Historical data is even maintained during and after
program downloading.
When historical data is collected from ControlWave,
it is converted and appended to .CSV and/or ODBC
compliant databases but does not destroy the original historical data stored in ControlWave, thus pro-
viding a exible and secure historical data system
that is clearly recognized as a benet to virtually
every industrial application.
The Bridge Between Systems
Continuing our tradition of introducing innovative
new solutions while maintaining compatibility with
existing systems, Emerson again provides a migration path for existing customers by bridging the new
ControlWave system with Network 3000 systems
already in place. The network bridge is enabled
by employing the open architecture technologies
afforded by TCP/IP and OPC in both networks.
TCP/IP allows seamless Ethernet connectivity to
both networks as well as the corporate Intranet so
both ControlWave and Network 3000 controllers
can reside and communicate on the same LAN.
Emerson’s Bristol OpenBSI OPC Server facilitates
the merging of the two networks for technical, engi-
neering and operator data access. The data source,
conguration and path are completely transparent to
the OPC client. Real-time data can also be passed
between the two communication networks making
this a total Plant Automation Management Solution.
