The TOP Server Real-Time Scheduler plug-in enables users to move the scheduling of data requests from the HMI, SCADA or other client application into the server to fine tune and optimize client communications across networks with limited bandwidth. The plug-in works in conjunction with real-time TOP Server drivers collecting data from devices or other data servers to define precise polling schedules for specific tags from one or multiple devices by the time of day or frequency.
It is also easy for users to define exceptions for periods of time when polling is undesirable (for instance, no polling when the sun is down if solar-powered equipment is involved or during regular down days of the week). And schedules can a priority defined that determines which schedule is serviced first when a conflict arises; the TOP Server will update clients with data once it is available.
This is critical in geographically distributed SCADA-heavy industries, like Power & Utilities, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas and Water/Wastewater, where communication bandwidth can be limited or time-limited polling opportunities dictate the need for tight control of polling. The TOP Server Real-Time Scheduler Plug-in provides the ultimate flexible control for precision-tuning of when and how frequently a driver is communicating with your devices, giving you full control over how much bandwidth is being used on your telemetry network.
