How do I obtain software updates for RCOM software?

There are no periodic or scheduled updates for the RCOM software. After the initial delivery of RCOM software, subsequent releases to a customer are normally only made in order to correct a problem or add a special feature required for the customer's application.

Does Applied Systems Engineering (ASE) provide protocol documentation for the protocol support I purchase?

In general, no. Due to copyright restrictions ASE is prohibited from distributing protocol specification documentation.

The best option is to contact the RTU or IED manufacturer and request documentation for the specific protocol. Also, if it is a standards based protocol such as DNP 3, Modbus, or IEC, you can obtain documentation from the organization managing the protocol.

How do I find out which protocols are supported on the RCOM Protocol Translator?

From our web site, select the Products links and then select the Supported Protocols link. The Supported Protocols page lists all the protocols supported across the entire ASE product line.

For the RCOM, only protocols shown with a support code "A" in the column labeled "RCOM" are supported.

If you need support for a protocol that is not listed, you can contact ASE sales support for a quote on new protocol implementation.

Does Applied Systems Engineering (ASE) have an evaluation copy of the RCOM software?

No, there is no evaluation copy of the RCOM. The RCOM application is built for each specific application requirement. And, as such, it is not practical to have an evaluation copy of the software that is general enough to be useful for evaluation.

ASE sales support works closely with all potential customers to ensure that the RCOM is the correct solution for the problem being solved.
