The TOPKAPI SCADA software dialogues since many years with the whole of the SOFREL RTUs range (remote controllers, remote terminal units, telemetry): S50, S50A, S50 Thermix, S50 Elec, TELBOX, CELLBOX, LINEBOX, S550, S15, S10, S10A. Several hundreds of references are recorded.

It is the only software independent of supervision of great diffusion ⁽¹⁾ to propose the direct dialogue via modem with protocol SOFBUS PL. Thanks to this direct dialogue, TOPKAPI is more powerful and the whole of the system easier to configure.

TOPKAPI also dialogues with front end CS100 with protocol SOFBUS PC and is integrated perfectly in all existing architectures containing SOFREL devices. Thanks to its assistant SOFTLINK, TOPKAPI parameters automatically its own data base using the stations' configuration files issued by SOFTOOLS ⁽²⁾, which makes the implementation af an application very fast, phase of tests included, if we leave aside the creation of graphic screens  (which is not strictly necessary to have an operational application):

	Processing of the real time data. Immediate access to the real time data and the remote controls when connection is established.
	Reception and treatment of the whole of the time stamped data, and automatic incorporation to the logs and sampling files (3).
	Processing of stations summaries data.
	Processint of the remote controls (logic and analog).
	Processing of the incoming calls (reception of alarms, periodic calls) and outgoing (automatic periodic and on event, manual).
	Follow-up of the durations and frequencies of communication, call test (4).

 

TOPKAPI also dialogues with the OPC server of SOFREL for the real time part only. Indeed, AREAL chose not to propose for the time being the dialogue via OPC server for the distant connections (not real time) for the following reasons:

 

	The direct dialogue with protocol SOFBUS PL implemented in TOPKAPI meets all the requirements to date.
	The dialogue by SOFBUS PL does not require any parameter setting of the communication, contrary to the dialogue via OPC server or CS100 which must be parameterized (5).
	The management of connections modem by dialogue SOFBUS PL is entirely integrated and does not require the parameter setting and working of applicative variables.
	Specification OPC in its current state does not make it possible to treat time-stamping at the source under optimal conditions (performances, delay of availability for real time data, use of a standard for the time stamped data processing in their globality...). To check in particular at the time of the establishment of a connection the time from which one can have the data real time and perform remote controls, whereas the station has histories to download in significant quantity.

^{(1) Great diffusion: able to be distributed on a broad scale because it is implemented by the users and VARs and not mainly by the editot of the software itself.}

^{(2) SOFTOOLS is the tool provided by SOFREL to carry out the parameter setting of its controllers of teleprocessing.} 

^{(3) Whatever the form and the origin of the time stamped data (events, samplings, summaries), TOPKAPI processes them without restriction for all the variables of supervision.} 

^{(4) The call test consists in checking that connections are established recurringly, in order to detect the breakdowns of the stations.} 

^{(5) Front end CS100 can however sometimes have a specific role in certain architectures.}
