SpiritIT Flow-X Driver

AUTOSOL’s ACM R/T SCADA supports the ABB SpiritIT Flow-X driver to rapidly transfer data from remote field devices to a control room in real-time. SCADA engineers and technicians running a control room can use ACM R/T SCADA to poll for data in the field through an ABB SpiritIT Flow-X driver, using the device’s REST API. ACM R/T SCADA is an OPC server and transmits data into the control room through its common protocol, Object Link and Embedding for Process Control (OPC). ACM R/T SCADA is a real-time only variant of ACM. Only the full version of ACM retains history. 

Used primarily for measurement applications, SpiritIT Flow-X is able to retrieve archived flow volume records that represent a custody transfer of an oil or gas product from a supplier to the purchaser. We are also able to read both Realtime and EFM values, as well as reports.  

The protocol is one of many that ACM R/T SCADA is compatible with to help make SCADA environments more manageable and more organized to ensure organized operation through a Human Machine Interface (HMI). HMI software is typically an OPC client application which can request data from the OPC server — or ACM R/T SCADA. 

ACM R/T SCADA works with the ABB SpiritIT Flow-X driver to give you instantaneous values from the field 

SCADA operators are always kept fully informed of the pipeline’s current state as the ABB SpiritIT Flow-X is capable of retrieving process data from the field. This commanded data from ACM R/T SCADA is an instantaneous value, and includes things like pressure, temperature, flow rates, etc. Control room technicians are constantly kept apprised of all data points provided by the SpiritIT Flow-X. 

In this chain of communication, ACM R/T SCADA serves as the master, demanding a response from the protocol, to deliver field data back through the ACM R/T SCADA. As a master, ACM R/T SCADA will always request communication from SpiritIT Flow-X. It is data such as this that ensures operations can run smoothly, accurately and efficiently in the most crucial industrial executions. For other additional details, please click to read our release notes and features supported from our list of supported protocols.
