Hello Planner; At the very least, provide the make and model of your RTU. That might give us a clue to the type of network you are working with. From Wikipedia, RTU:(Remote Terminal Unit) CommunicationsAn RTU may be interfaced to multiple master stations and IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) with different communication protocols (usually serial (RS232,RS485,RS422) or Ethernet). An RTU may support standard protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-101/103/104, DNP3,IEC 60870-6-ICCP, IEC 61850 etc.) to interface any third party software. Each one of the serial protocols has different segment lengths/bus speed requirements that require a repeater, Ethernet (at any bus speed) is limited to 100m before a switch (or hub) is needed to extend the network. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
