“REMOTE TERMINAL UNITS” FOR DIGITIZATION OF ENERGY DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) FOR TELECONTROL TECHNOLOGY

As their platform, WAGO’s Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) solutions use the modular WAGO I/O System, which has a long record of success on the market. For this purpose, special telecontrol protocols (IEC 61850, IEC 60870, DNP3, Modbus®) were added to the scalable-performance controllers. In combination with the option of IEC-61131-3 programming, this allows all tasks – both telecontrol communication tasks and station automation tasks – to be handled flexibly and, above all, easily.

International approvals guarantee continuous operation under the most challenging environmental conditions. The Linux® operating system ensures maximum flexibility along with long-term availability of the automation solution. The strictest security requirements for critical infrastructure applications are also included.

The system’s flexible communication and programming properties, combined with a comprehensive portfolio of I/O interfaces and programming libraries, offer unparalleled openness for automating solutions across industries – particularly for electrical distribution networks, water resource management, oil and gas and infrastructure projects.
