Solutions

Expert Solution

Typical RTU Hardware that mau be encountered are

  • Control processor and associated memory
  • Analog inputs
  • Analog outputs
  • Counter inputs
  • Digital inputs
  • Digital outputs
  • Communication interface(s)
  • Power supply
  • RTU rack and enclosure

Requirements for RTU system:

Hardware:

Individual RTU expandability (typically up to 200 analog and digital points)

  • Off the shelf modules
  • Maximum number of RTU sites in a system shall be expandable to 255
  • Modular system – no particular order or position in installation (of modules in a rack)
  • Robust operation – failure of one module will not affect the performance of other modules
  • Minimization of power consumption (CMOS can be an advantage)
  • Heat generation minimized
  • Rugged and of robust physical construction
  • Maximization of noise immunity (due to harsh environment)
  • Temperature of –10 to 65°C (operational conditions)
  • Relative humidity up to 90%
  • Clear indication of diagnostics
  • Visible status LEDs
  • Local fault diagnosis possible
  • Remote fault diagnostics option
  • Status of each I/O module and channel (program running/failed/communications OK/failed)
  • Modules all connected to one common bus
  • Physical interconnection of modules to the bus shall be robust and suitable for use in harsh environments
  • Ease of installation of field wiring
  • Ease of module replacement
  • Removable screw terminals for disconnection and reconnection of wiring
