Smart RTU Models

Encompassing the rich set of functions found in all SoftPLC Controllers, our line of Smart RTU's provide users with a low cost, remotely accessible RTU. The small size, low power usage, and configurability make the Smart RTU suitable for a wide variety of industries and applications, such as water, oil & gas, agriculture, quarries and many more.

Whether the need is to simply collect I/O information for reporting system status (eg: data logging/reporting, alarm notification) or to also provide localized I/O control with the ability to have remote overrides, a Smart RTU is a great choice.

Features:

  • Send and/or receive email and SMS messages
  • Ladder logic or C programming
  • Supports industrial protocols (eg: Modbus, DF1, ModbusTCP)
  • Security
  • Range of I/O options - local and remote
  • Low power, supports solar/battery powered installations

A family of products, Smart RTU models are available with a variety of I/O points/connections and communication port configurations. For more information on specific models, contact SoftPLC Corporation.


Programmable Top

Smart RTU's are fully programmable in industry standard ladder logic and support program changes through a USB or Ethernet port. The rich instruction set provides relay logic, timers/counters, math, value and logical comparisons, diagnostics, shift registers, subroutines and more.

Advanced functions such as data logging and email/text messaging are standard. Smart RTU's also support custom user functions that can be developed in C/C++ with the use of a Programmer's Toolkit.

Accessible Top

Communication to any SCADA/HMI product is supported using industry standard protocols, no special drivers are required.

An embedded web server option allows a web browser to be used as an operator interface. With a wireless interface option, even tablets or smart phones can be used.

Flexible Top

The Smart RTU supports a variety of I/O interfaces. For small systems, models with on-board I/O are available. For larger systems, local interfaces to SoftPLC's Tealware I/O modules supports up to 3,072 points. Serial and Ethernet I/O are also supported, giving users hundreds of I/O options!

Cellular Top

An embedded cellular modem provides a reliable, easy and inexpensive way to remotely communicate to the Smart RTU. The RTU can send data via SMS (text message), email, or direct to SoftPLC Corporation's Data Gateway System where it can be further processed based on each user's specifications.

Data can be sent upon user configurable conditions via application logic using triggers such as time, events (eg: alarms, completion of a task), or I/O values. Message contents are user configurable and automatically include a time and date stamp.

The Smart RTU's real time clock accuracy is maintained via an NTP Server over the network.

Secure Top

If data security is a concern, an embedded firewall option is available, as well as the ability to disable unused communication drivers and ports.

Remote-able Top

Wide operating temperature, extremely low power draw and a built-in battery power manager means the Smart RTU can be cost effectively installed in remote locations, powered by a small solar panel.
