Product Overview

The Fisher ROC Plus 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 Plus protocol over Ethernet. This includes ROC 809 and ROC 827 devices. No tag count limits or limits on the number of connected clients.

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