Remote Terminal Unit: Architecture

A remote terminal unit (RTU) is an electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a SCADA or distributed control system by transmitting telemetry data and using messages to control connected objects. It monitors field parameters and transmits data to a central monitoring station. The RTU contains setup software to connect input and output data streams, define communication protocols, and troubleshoot installations. It may consist of a single circuit card or multiple cards including processing, communication interfaces, and input/output cards.

Remote Terminal Unit

A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a microprocessor-controlled electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system and by using messages from the master supervisory system to control connected objects!"#$ Another term that may be used for %&' is remote telemetry unit the common usage term varies with the application area generally!

Architecture
An %&' monitors the field digital and analog parameters and transmits data to the Central (onitoring Station! )t contains setup software to connect data input streams to data output streams define communication protocols and troubleshoot installation problems! An %&' may consist of one comple* circuit card consisting of various sections needed to do a custom fitted function or may consist of many circuit cards including C+' or processing with communications interface(s) and one or more of the following, (A)) analog input (D)) digital input (D-.C-) digital or control (relay) output or (A-) analog output card(s)!
