ABB NTAC-02 3BHL000511P0003 Pulse encoder
The data engineering of the RTU560 can easilybe carried out by the user with the help of the
MS-WindowsTM based tool RTUtil 560 and by MSExcelTM signal lists.
RTUtil 560 is designed to engineer small RTU560,
medium-sized RTU560 with a set of included IEDs,
and also to engineer router RTUs with all the types
of communication links and IEDs used in the customer's network.Process signal mapping to the
different communication protocols is one of the
main tasks needed in hierarchical communication
network structures. The process signals of a small
RTU connected at the lowest level of a network
may be routed via other RTUs on the way up to
the final network control center (NCC). All necessary communication links and parameters are
engineered with RTUtil 560 in one project.
The signal and communication data can be entered
into RTUtil 560 via import of MS-ExcelTM signal
lists.Therefore only limited RTUtil 560 knowledge
is required. The use of MS-ExcelTM functionality
allows quick and easy data entry of large volumes
of process data.To allow adaptations to specific
customer or project requirements,the structure
of the MS-ExcelTM sheets used for data import is
expandable and can also be used for documentation.
The Engineering principle in RTUtil 560 is according to IEC 61346-1 standard.With the RTUtil 560,
separate views for signals,hardware,and communication data is possible.This makes configuration
changes easy.Before generating configuration files,
the RTUtil 560 system carries out an engineering
data consistency check. Any engineering errors
occurring will be recognized and logged in files
with the error location.

The configuration file transfer will be done by
using the integrated web server connected to the
RTU560 MMI interface. The configuration of the
RTU560 can also be carried out from a remote
PC via Internet links or the customer's Intranet.
Download by a network control center via IEC
60870-5-101/104 file transfer protocol is also pos sible.Upload of the data files is used for reverse
data engineering.
Benefits:
• Running on standard MS-WindowsTM
Operating systems (XP,2000 and NT)
• Process data engineering with MS-ExcelTM
possible with limited RTUtil 560 knowledge
• Quick and easy engineering method for
larger projects
• Already existing MS-ExcelTM signal lists can
easily be adapted to the required format
• MS-ExcelTM templates can be used for
documentation
• Engineering and modification efforts
can be reduced considerably
• MS-ExcelTM template adaptable to customers'
requirements
