ABB RTU 540 in Network Rail SCADA Upgrade

Hundreds of ABB's new generation RTU 540 remote terminal units will be integrated into Network Rail substations as part of a project by telent to renew the railroad's SCADA system. The RTUs will provide telemetry and remote control of substation equipment and services. They were selected for their compact design and ability to handle large amounts of data. The project is expected to be completed in 2017 and will involve 242 RTU 540 modules across southern England, modernizing the railroad's infrastructure.
