Data Communication Transactions:

Real-time Data

• Interval Polling at 15 different intervals (Periodic Timer Triggered)
• Slow Polls at 15 Intervals are a percentage of Polling Interval (Faster and Slower rates are supported.)
• Synchronous Polling (Clock or Calendar Triggered)
• Demand Polling (DDE/OPC Client Triggered)

History/Archived data Uploads

• Interval Uploads at 15 different intervals (Periodic Timer Triggered)
• Slow Uploads at 15 Intervals are a percentage of Polling Interval (Faster and Slower rates are supported.)
• Synchronous Uploads (Clock or Calendar Triggered)
• Demand Uploads (DDE/OPC Client Triggered)

Real-time data polls and History Uploads can be Interleaved
Exception Reporting/Cryout (Control Device, RTU or PLC Triggered)
Embedded Clients

• Optional RTU to initiate communications without an OPC request from an external Client.
• Provides more deterministic performance as real-time data items are constantly
  active. Data collected is cached for delivered to external Client applications
  via the Server interface.
• Provides standalone history/archived data uploads from field devices for storage
  in database or audit files without the requirement of an external Client.

Data Logging:

• Uploaded data can be logged to any leading database via OLE DB.
• EFM data uploads can be written to Flow Cal “. CFX” files or to Flow Cal
• Enterprise (Oracle) format.
• User defined periodic file closing: file size control
• User defined path to file location
• User defined directory and file labels identify file content, date and time.
• User defined automatic file purging: directory size control

Diagnostics Logging:

• Message Errors
• Send Messages
• Receive Messages
• Device and Item Activity
• Status Changes
• Client Data Received
• Field Device Data Received
• Event Notification from Ports
• Receive Buffer Contents and Data
• Item Name, Value and Quality
• Changes in Client Status
• Changes in AES Configuration
• Data Flow Between AES Components
• Performance Data regarding Threads
• AES Footprint or Tracing Information
