Control Edge RTU
Product Overview :
A powerful, modular, and scalable controller designed for remote automation and control applications.
What Is ControlEdge RTU?
ControlEdge RTU is a rugged and efficient remote process controller that enables real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and asset management for distributed assets.
Built for harsh environments and remote deployment, it minimizes the need for on-site maintenance, offering:
- Low power consumption for solar-powered remote installations.
- Increased availability with native controller redundancy (no switch required for I/O communication).
- HART-enabled onboard and expansion I/O modules for enhanced connectivity.
- Plug-in terminal blocks for simplified wiring and faster cabinet assembly.
- Integrated wireless I/O support for ISA100 instruments—wired and wireless devices can be managed with the same configuration tool.
- Built-in HART I/O and ISA100 field instrument integration with Field Device Manager.
- Electronic Flow Metering (EFM) for gas and liquid measurement per API 21.1 and 21.2 standards.
- Remote management capability for handling hundreds to thousands of RTUs efficiently.
Features :
The ControlEdge Builder tool allows users to design, configure, program, and maintain the RTU using IEC 61131-3 compliant languages, including:
- Ladder Diagram (LD)
- Function Block Diagram (FBD)
- Structured Text (ST)
- Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
Unlike traditional PLCs, ControlEdge RTU is designed with flexible communication and data logging. It can store critical data locally during network outages or low bandwidth periods, ensuring historical data recovery later.
Benfits/Advantage/Applications :
ControlEdge RTU is ideal for remote industrial applications, reducing on-site visits and cutting equipment monitoring and diagnostic time from hours to minutes.
Typical applications include:
- Well-head monitoring & control
- Data concentration
- Gas flow metering
- Block-valve automation
- Pump and compressor control
- Gas station management
