High performance real-time and EFM retrieval for ROC serial devices
This driver is available in the following TOP Server driver suites:
Max Channels
Devices per Channel
Remote Operation Controllers (ROC)
Serial RS-232, RS-422, RS-485; Ethernet Encapsulation
The Fisher ROC Serial 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 serial or Ethernet encapsulation. 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 Serial driver also collects historical Electronic Flow Measurement (EFM) gas history data via the EFM Exporter plug-in, supporting export formats including Flow-Cal, PGAS and more. Such data is commonly used for production optimization and regulatory compliance.
Proven benefits that help you deploy faster and operate more reliably
Supports Ethernet Encapsulation via Ethernet/Serial convertors, Ethernet Device or Terminal servers
Supports Automatic Tag Generation
Operator Identification (including configurable Access Level)
Time Synchronization
Modem Support
Multi-threaded architecture for high scalability, Runtime changes via wizard-based configuration interface with intuitive Properties Editor, Secure User Management, Built-in Device/Network Redundancy, Auto-Demotion (Slow Polling), Extensive communication and server diagnostics (OPC / Communications / Event Log)
EFM Support using the EFM Exporter Plug-In (EFM Suite Only): FlowCal CFX (V5), FlowCal Transaction Queue, PGAS, CSV, SQL / ODBC Databases
Support for hourly history, daily history, alarms, and events
Enable/Disable Clearing Cache on Next Upload
EFM Configuration and Mapping (EFM History / EFM Alarm / EFM Event)
EFM Pointer File caching to disk (eliminates repoll when server is restarted)
Pointer Rollback capability for retrieving lost EFM data from a device
Time synchronization on EFM poll, user-specified interval, or time of day
FloBoss 107 Only - Configurable for trailing or leading history timestamp
The meter order in the EFM meter list in the driver MUST match the meter order in ROCLink800 configuration software.
