The TOP Server Real-Time Scheduler plug-in lets you move polling control to the server so you can tightly manage when device data is collected—especially useful for distributed SCADA networks where bandwidth is limited (Power & Utilities, renewables, oil & gas, water/wastewater). It works alongside real-time TOP Server drivers to define time-based schedules (time-of-day and/or interval-based) for specific tags across one or more devices, with options for demand polls and visibility/diagnostics via system tags. Once licensed for a TOP Server instance, it can be applied across any real-time driver/protocol in that instance, making it cost-effective when multiple protocols exist on the same SCADA network. You can also define exceptions (times when polling should not occur) and set schedule priorities to resolve conflicts between schedules.
Server-controlled scheduling so communications happen at defined times for better bandwidth utilization
Helps prevent misconfigured client scan rates from consuming unnecessary network bandwidth
Supports multiple schedules with intervals and/or recurring periods (day/week/month patterns)
Can include tags from multiple devices within a single schedule
Everything you need for flexible polling control
Schedule priority handling for conflicts between schedules
System tags provide HMI/SCADA visibility into schedule behavior and polling results
Configuration supported via wizard workflows and CSV import/export
Works with all real-time TOP Server drivers and protocols

Perfect for bandwidth-constrained networks
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023
We use this in our distributed SCADA network across multiple remote sites. The ability to schedule polling during off-peak hours has significantly reduced our bandwidth costs. Setup was straightforward and it works flawlessly with our existing TOP Server drivers.

Great for utilities
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
As a utility company with hundreds of remote sites, the Scheduler Plug-In has been invaluable. We can now control polling schedules centrally and prevent network congestion. The system tags make it easy to monitor everything from our SCADA system.

Works as advertised
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
Good product that does exactly what it says. The CSV import/export feature is particularly useful for managing schedules across many devices. Would give 5 stars if the initial configuration wizard was a bit more intuitive, but support helped us get set up quickly.
