RTUs are used to acquire status
and measurands from any industrial process, report
changes and inform master station. RTUs are also capable
of control function from main station computer (SCADA
system). Earlier generation RTUs were hardwired and
supported limited functionalities. C-DAC's COPS RTU
is based on a 32-bit microprocessor. The flexibility
of microprocessor allows more and more advanced functions
to be supported. COPS RTUs can also have a PC based
console attached to it. It can be considered as a
local station computer as it performs local logging,
reporting, pre-processing the local data before sending
to master station. |
