What Is It? | ||
|
The RC500 RTU is ideal for remote automation needs such as those found
in oil and gas applications. It is designed to withstand harsh
environments and can operate using minimal electricity, making it ideal
for operating on solar power and for providing continuous monitoring of
remote fixed assets. RC500 RTU’s open communication platform integrates
seamlessly with Honeywell’s Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS).
This integration answers the most critical and complex automation needs
and brings in the latest technology offered by the Experion platform.
Honeywell offers multiple RTU models to suit
users’ specific application requirements. RTU variants are available
based on the number of communication ports needed, memory requirements,
system topology needs, protocol needs and type of input/output (I/O)
modules needed.

How Does It Work? | ||
|
RC500 RTU has a variety of communication ports and enables easy I/O
expansion through connectivity to Ethernet I/Os. It supports industry
standard Modbus and DNP3 protocols over Serial and Ethernet. In
addition, it is capable of peer-to-peer I/O transfers, making it ideal
for transferring and sharing information between devices in a large
network.
Other key features include data-logging
capabilities with the option to record I/O values and log them into data
files. This means critical data from the field is not missed and is
available for analysis. The RTU also features self-resetting fuses, a
watchdog function for health monitoring while an Ethernet I/O module
delivers the best output across all common control applications.

What Problems Does It Solve? | ||
|
RC500 RTU helps facilities effectively manage complex remote automation
and control applications such as gas flow metering, data concentrator
and communications integration, well-head control, pump and compressor
control, block-valve automation and gas stations, while ensuring a lower
total cost of ownership.
