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. [1]
The Remote Terminal Unit is initially interrogated with what DNP3 terms an "Integrity Poll" (a combined Read of Class 1, 2, 3 and 0 data). This causes the Remote Terminal Unit to send all buffered events and also all static point data to the Master station. Following this, the Master polls for the event data by reading Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3.
PACs are deployed in SCADA systems to provide RTU and PLC functions. In many electrical substation SCADA applications, "distributed RTUs" use information processors or station computers to communicate with digital protective relays, PACs, and other devices for I/O, and communicate with the SCADA master in lieu of a traditional RTU.
Modbus RTU or ASCII or TCP; oBIX - Open Building Information Exchange is a standard for RESTful Web Services-based interfaces to building control systems developed by OASIS. UPB - 2-way Peer to Peer Protocol; VSCP - Very Simple Control Protocol is a free protocol with main focus on building- or home-automation; xAP – Open protocol
IEC 60870 part 6 in electrical engineering and power system automation, is one of the IEC 60870 set of standards which define systems used for telecontrol (supervisory control and data acquisition) in electrical engineering and power system automation applications.
The device numbers are enumerated in ANSI/IEEE Standard C37.2 Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations. Many of these devices protect electrical systems and individual system components from damage when an unwanted event occurs such as an electrical fault.
RTU MIREA, Russian Technological University, Moscow; In other uses: Ṛtú, a Sanskrit word referring to a fixed or appointed time; Ready to use (Ready-To-Use), used in Medicine, e.g. RTU Suspension for Injection; Real Tamale United, a football club based in Tamale, Ghana; Recognizable taxonomic unit, used in Parataxonomy
After the Northeast blackout of 2003, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation specified that electrical system data should be time-tagged to the nearest millisecond. In 1984, the Tetragenics Company, a subsidiary of the Montana Power Company, introduced the first remote terminal unit (RTU) that time-tagged events to the nearest ...
