The Wellsite Information Transfer Specification (WITS) is a communications format used for the transfer of a wide variety of wellsite data from one computer system to another.  This oil/gas industry standard is recognized by a number of companies internationally and is supported by many hardware devices and software applications used at well sites around the globe.

In this video blog, I show you how to get started using our software based communications driver for WITS Level 0 Active protocol to integrate data from your wellsite devices into Wonderware applications. You can install the software on your own computer and it will communicate with multiple devices via multiple serial ports and/or Ethernet convertors. 

Watch this video to learn how to get started using the TOP Server WITS Level 0 Active driver, including basic setup, for integrating wellsite data into AVEVA (formerly Wonderware) HMI & SCADA applications.

 
Just to summarize, in this video, I've shown you:

  1. How to configure a TOP Server channel using the WITS Level 0 Active driver.
  2. How to configure a TOP Server WITS Level 0 Active device including considerations for changing certain settings from the defaults.
  3. How to automatically generate tags for WITS pre-defined record types for access in Wonderware.

Don't forget to read my latest features blog post to learn about the newest updates to TOP Server or watch the on-demand webinar for more details of the latest release.
