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 ControlWave controllers, flow 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 com-
munication interface, written as a Windows com-
munication 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 controllers, flow computers and RTUs.
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 files based on collected historical data, collect
alarms, and monitor and control OpenBSI commu-
nications.
