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.
