ROC

Supported Devices

The Remote Operations Controller^® (ROC) protocol module can communicate with native ROC and FloBoss devices. It is designed to allow a host computer to communicate with devices that use the ROC protocol (ROC 300 series ROCPAC, ROC 300 series FlashPAC, FloBoss 100, 400, and 500 series, ROC 800 series, and RegFlo. Industry Canada ROC items are also supported). Other devices that use protocol emulators can also be supported.

Supported Features

The ROC protocol module supports reading and writing to all valid items using the native protocols (ROC and ROC Plus).

Recommended Configuration Steps

These are the objects needed to communicate with a ROC. These objects are linked together:

• A Port object. From the Port object create the Connections Settings object and then it will automatically link them together.

• The ROC object which will link to the Port object.

• And on the same tab, create a Schedule object.

From the ROC object, create each of the following:

• If Time Synchronization is needed, create a Time Synchronization object.

• Meter objects: A ROC requires a Station Meter object as well as a meter object for each Meter run.

If collecting history, create one or more of the following, depending on the type of history being collected:

• Daily Archive object

• Event Archive object

• Hourly Archive object

These are the objects needed to be able to publish history. These objects ARE NOT linked to the ROC object:

• Publisher object.

• From the Publisher object, create the History output type object

Supported Op_Codes

The following specific Host-to-RTU operational codes are supported:
