ABB DSTD108 24-250 VAC terminal block
Integrated Human Machine InterfaceFor basic local monitoring and basic control an
Human Machine Interface was integrated into the
RTU560. The HMI-functionality itself is an integra ted part of the RTU560 functionality;no additional
SCADA product is needed.Single line pictures with
active monitoring and control elements are stored
on the CMU of the RTU560.
Event and alarm lists are also available and expor table as CSV format for documentation. The data
of the lists are stored on the flash which makes it
power failure proof.
The only software requirement for visualization
on a PC is the Java Virtual Machine Freeware. The
single line diagram allows an instant overview of
the substation. The picture editor has a symbol
library with predefined dynamic symbols. The pic ture editor contains different language and charac ter sets. The component editor enables the user to
create customer specific symbols in case they are
not available in the standard libraries.
The editor allows easy linking of dynamic symbols
to the RTU560 runtime data to prevent enginee ring faults.Access authority for different users or
groups together with command authority is essen tial for secure operation. Therefore this feature is
also an integrated component of the RTU560.

Diagnosis
RTU560 diagnosis system is based on the web
server technology. Therefore no special tools are
required to analyse the RTU560.The diagnosis
could be carried out either locally or remote via
LAN/WAN.
All RTU560 modules are maintenance free.Due to
the small numbers of different modules,spare part
stock is kept to a minimum.Since the application
data is stored on Compact Flash CardsTM it is pos sible to exchange modules without new configu ration download.
The functional operation of the RTU560 is guaran teed by a comprehensive monitoring concept. The
hardware and software is continuously monitored
from the I/O boards throughout the entire RTU.
The hardware and software monitoring is carried
out by active checks at several levels.
The diagnosis concept of the RTU560 is conse quently adapted to the possibilities of modern
communication.Once access to the RTU560 by
Intranet has been established,all of the RTU560's
relevant information can be read out from any
location by a laptop.
This system can be used for a checkup of the con figuration or signal values and statuses.
It allows service personnel to analyse and possibly
solve a RTU problem from their office rather than
making an unnecessary visit to the station.
