ABB MSR04XI serial communication module
Remote ControlOne of the main tasks of the remote control appli cation is the data collection of hard wired infor mation and provision of those to a higher level
Control System.
The RTU560 uses multi processor architecture to
achieve high performance data processing.
The scalable platform,together with the modular
IO-components guarantee the highest flexibility
for different signal appearance.The direct binary
IO-interface for up to 110-220 V DC requires no
additional interposing relays.
The demand to communicate to various sub RTUs,
IEDs and control centers is covered by the highly
advanced communication capabilities.PLC-Func tions according to IEC 61131-3 enable the user to
get automation functionality without using an addi tional product.

Application Communication Gateway
Benefits:
• Security of process control
• Modules with years of experience
• Cost optimized solutions from large and
complex stations down to small stations
• Combined functionality all in one product
• Security of investment
• Easy adaptations of additional functionality
by using PLC functions

Communication Gateway
The RTU560 with its highly sophisticated commu nication capabilities can also be used as a commu nication gateway.
By using TCP/IP networks and decentralized sta tion communication gateways,the complex front end structures can be simplified.
Shifting of centralized communication functions
to station level utilizes the available bandwidth
more efficiently and reduces the required commu nication lines at the same time.
High availability is a common requirement today.
The RTU560 accommodates this with its decen tralized structure compared to PCs or worksta tions.
The flexible redundancy concepts support diffe rent levels.The system approach of the RTU560
allows having redundant power supplies,redun dant communication lines and redundant commu nication modules according to the customer
specific demand.A combination of the various
redundancies is also possible.
