Our scalable RTUs can simultaneously handle older and newer protocols on serial, wireless and
Ethernet networks - making substation automation less complex and more affordable.

Our modular iRTUs are powerful controllers with embedded ethernet switches, state-of-the-art
features and internal I/Os, allowing you to do it all with one small device. They can map serial
servers to IEC 61850 logical nodes, collect and process data from old and new IEDs, report directly
to the cotrol center with any standard protocol (e.g. IEC 60970-5-104, DNP3) and handle all
common protocol conversions.

An architecture based on iRTUs is open and scalable: you can easily integrate future generations of
devices (IEDs, sensors, routers etc.) and adapt to any present and future needs, such as changing
network topology or communication media.

TIME MANAGEMENT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS & IP

The iRTU manages a broad range of time The iRTU was designed to use a high number of pro-
synchronization methods with fault tolerant priority tocols (see data sheet) and communicate with several
