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.

NetView is the basic conguration and application
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 conguration Wizard simpli-
fying 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 cong-
ured, 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.
