RTU7C – Control and Communication Unit

Unit Description

The RTU7C is compact device, designed for remote monitoring of energy networks, and further areas with high requirements for system reliability and robustness. The compact design integrates in one unit a communication module, digital inputs and outputs.

This compact unit is internally resolved as a modular system which enables high flexibility and the possibility to adapt to requirements of the client. An example is the wide range of communication interfaces ((E)GPRS, UMTS, LTE, Ethernet, RS232, RS-485), which can be fitted into the unit in various combinations. Various communication protocols can be set for each communication interface. It is possible to communicate via several protocols in one time, for example with protocol IEC 60870-5-104 into the master system and protocol HioCom2 into the parameterization SW (remote parameterization, signal transmission, FW upgrade, etc.). Another communication options are various methods of backup communication.
