Data Communications for Oil & Gas: Keeping Data Moving and Production Flowing

Data Communications for Oil & Gas

With AUTOSOL Communication Manager (ACM), our advanced OPC server, disparate data can be made accessible, unified, and shareable across all assets and stakeholders in every area of oil & gas operations.

Data Communications for oil and gas are simplified with our software suite. Through ACM, enterprises are able to analyze data, monitor systems, and prioritize optimization efforts—resulting in an optimal ROI.

Key ACM features include:

  • Supports multiple protocols over a single telemetry channel or circuit.
  • Supports MQTT via Sparkplug specification to ensure communication with
    IOT devices.
  • Supports concurrent polling through any type of telemetry.
  • Supports SCADA control and EFM/AMR systems simultaneously
    in a single installation.
  • Supports retrieval of archived data from EFM/AMR devices. Data can be
    published to multiple file formats, databases, and validation/accounting
    systems.
  • Includes protocol modules developed to support legacy SCADA
    and AMR systems used during the extended transition to new SCADA host
    systems or data warehouse systems.
  • Supports the ability to modify the configuration while the product is “on-line”
    without server restart.
  • Supports multiple local and remote concurrent users to allow your team to
    work together without difficulty.
  • Provides data and communication status detail within the configuration
    program as users issue commands and add items to poll.
  • Allows users to assign polling priorities to items or tasks.
  • Provides an audit trail for configuration changes, as well as the commands
    that are issued.
  • Includes a robust logger and dashboard as diagnostic tools to be used by local
    or remote support personnel.
  • Supports redundant communication paths, redundant
    configuration (via SQL Server) and allows HMI control of primary /backup
    switch-over.
  • Supports the ability to easily review retrieved EFM record details and spot
    gaps in history.
  • Allows for easy generation of reports varying from device communication
    status to missing records.
  • Allows for automatic generation and sending of reports
  • Supports MQTT via Sparkplug specification to ensure communication with
    IOT devices.
