Omni Flow Modbus Protocol

The Omni Flow Modbus protocol is supported by the AUTOSOL Communication Manager (ACM) OPC server. This support helps to ensure oil and gas companies are delivered their most valuable data from the field, to help manage ICS and SCADA systems. The Omni Flow Modbus protocol delivers users flow measurements from pipelines. These measurements include readings of natural gas or oil that is flowing through the pipeline or other medium. That data can then be analyzed for billing purposes, using software such as Quorum’s FLOWCAL.

ACM and the Omni Flow Modbus Protocol

The ACM polling engine works hand-in-hand with the Omni Flow Modbus protocol by collecting and delivering data to your most vital SCADA systems — both reliably and securely. This partnership will deliver data to control rooms, both securely and organized — alleviating concerns that may arise regarding security, maintenance and production for upstream, midstream and downstream markets.

Edge Polling and the Omni Flow Modbus Protocol

Getting data from devices using Modbus/Omni Flow protocol can be extended to IIoT devices at the edge using AUTOSOL’s edge-based polling, eACM. Once eACM collects real-time data from any of the thousands of devices that support Modbus/Omni Flow, eACM will publish to a MQTT Sparkplug B broker so that data can be further dispersed to a variety of applications.

Maintaining and upgrading SCADA systems for less money

AUTOSOL has spent more than 35 years in the oil and gas communication field, and has developed numerous custom drivers to support native protocols on a variety of field devices. This work allows companies to continue to use older legacy devices while continuing to upgrade and maintain their SCADA systems. Because ACM can speak with a variety of devices, companies are not constrained by having to settle for using just one brand of monitoring equipment. This flexibility expands company’s options that are looking to upgrade its SCADA control systems.
