Product Overview

The Fisher ROC Ethernet Device Driver works in conjunction with TOP Server to provide data exchange between OPC, SuiteLink and DDE clients and Emerson Fisher ROC devices supporting the ROC protocol over Ethernet. This includes FloBoss, RegFlo and ROC 300 Series devices. No tag count limits or limits on the number of connected clients.

When part of the TOP Server EFM Suite, the Fisher ROC Ethernet driver also collects historical Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) gas history data working in conjunction with the EFM Exporter plug-in, with supported export formats including Flow-Cal, PGAS and more, for production optimization and regulatory compliance.
