System details like memory size, OS version, and IP address are accessible online. System logs aid error identification, and application diagrams can be documented with various layout options.
Controller Configuration and Autonomy
Multiple controllers can be assigned to the same application, with settings easily transferable. The FCN-RTU offers advanced web-based functions for data processing and transfer, suitable for SCADA applications.
Engineering Application Portfolio
NPAS POUs offer straightforward programming with various input, control, and output processing options. Integrated control processing in a single POU simplifies program creation.
Data Structure and Alarm Management
Data handling is intuitive, reducing debugging time. Alarm management techniques prevent alarm flooding, focusing on critical control tasks.
Communication and Time Synchronization
FCN-RTU supports Modbus and DNP3 communication, with time synchronization via SNTP. OPC Server for Windows enables SCADA system connections.
Web-based Supervision and Scalability
A web-based HMI provides cost-effective access to information. The system is scalable, supporting up to one million I/O points and multiple OS platforms.
Reliable Architecture and Remote Monitoring
High availability computing ensures continuous operation with real-time data synchronization. Integrated remote control and monitoring are facilitated through SCADA FAST/TOOLS.
Data Logging and Reporting
The InfoWell logging portfolio allows data logging in various formats, supporting online and offline access. Logging data can be viewed in trend or tabular formats, with tools for managing logging files.
Remote Monitoring and Data Access
Remote monitoring is facilitated through web browsers, allowing data display in numeric, tabular, or graphical formats. Secure data storage and easy access via FTP are emphasized, with user authentication to prevent data tampering.
Control Application and Network Specifications
The control application capacity includes up to 512 function blocks and 180 kilosteps in sequence programs. The network supports communication with up to 15 FCNs per FCN-RTU and up to 4 upper systems.
FCN-RTU CPU and Module Specifications
The FCN-RTU CPU features a 256 MHz processor, 128MB main memory, and various serial ports. It supports Ethernet communication and includes RAS features like a watchdog timer. Power supply modules offer duplex configurations and hot-swap capabilities.
