Vista's Scanners

Kingfisher

RTUnet, an Australian RTU company, manufactures the Kingfisher line of RTUs. Vista Control Systems has the only scanner for the Kingfisher line that supports the Kingfisher video option and communicates in the native Kingfisher Series II protocol. This scanner is available for all platforms and supports all of the Kingfisher Series II communication methods. 

Modbus

This implements the MODBUS protocol over TCP/IP and serial lines. Support is included for radio and modem serial links, as well as for hard-wired links. This scanner has controls for dial-up and radio links, supports client-data logging and average value logging for high performance systems, as well as direct serial links and TCP/IP connections.  Thousands of devices from many manufacturers can communicate with this standard.

OPC

OPC is a standard way to connect to hardware--most hardware is supported by an OPC server from one or more vendors. The Vista OPC scanner will connect to OPC servers for other I/O hardware. It implements the OPC level 2 specification, and is presently supported on Windows NT/2000/XP only. Other Vsystem platforms will be supported upon request. Vista recommends using Vaccess/remote rather than DCOM when remote connections are required.

RTP

RTP Corporation RTP 2xxx series of controllers can be interfaced with Vsystem using the Vsystem RTP scanner. This scanner supports the standard RTP Ethernet connection and protocol.

Siemens

The Siemens scanner supports S7 series PLC's with Ethernet and serial communications. Supports direct serial links and TCP/IP connections.

Sixnet

The Sixnet scanner will support time-based scanning and report by exception from RTU's.

General Standards

PCI data acquisition cards.

GE Mark VI GSM Protocol

Read-only connection to GE Mark VI turbine systems.

Control Design

This implements Modbus communications over serial radio links to Control Design RTU's.   Included is support for SDI-12 protocol instrumentation connected to the RTU's and support for the Control Design log buffer feature.  A focused system-setup and editor graphical user interface is also provided to greatly simplify configuration.
