Two new programmable Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), VT-MIPM-138-D and VT-MIPM-248-D, feature onboard I/O and are designed for extreme environments including water & wastewater processing, oil & gas production, and other automation settings.
The RTUs deliver standalone control over industrial processes. Automatic data logging and timestamping, as well as logging of trends, alarms, and sequences of events, give operators full visibility of their applications. An IEC 61131 programming and configuration environment in Red Lion Workbench provides programming and troubleshooting capability. The unit also supports ISaGRAF for backward compatibility and has an open system design, with Ethernet TCP, Modbus, Linux, and more.
The VT RTUs come pre-certified, letting operators add applications as desired, program and configure as needed, and scale up easily, from 1 to 1000+ stations. Multi-user connectivity is enabled via 10/100 Ethernet ports, RS232 and RS485, and up to 4 communications ports. Onboard I/O is a mixture of DI, DO, AI, and AO. Advanced communication capabilities include report on exception, store and forward, and peer-to-peer networking.
Suitable for hazardous areas and extreme temperatures, the controllers are rated for operating temperatures of -40 to 158°F (-40 to 70°C) and have UL Class I, Division 2, CE, and ABS Type certifications.
