CSE-Semaphore introduces remote terminal unit
Mar 13, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
CSE-Semaphore, a CSE Global company, has introduced a compact, remote terminal unit, or RTU, that integrates cyber security protection and wireless communications with SCADA functionality.
According to the company, the new TBox LT2 RTU is an all-in-one unit featuring a web server, 3G wireless communications, and a cyber security application suite, all integrated with programmable automation, alarm notification, data logging, and Ethernet communications in a single, rugged module.
TBox LT2 RTU communications include Ethernet, RS232, RS485 and USB ports, and an integral 3G wireless option. Mixed I/O configurations include 8 analog inputs, 16 digital inputs / outputs, selectable per-point, and, optionally, two analog outputs. For installations requiring additional I/O, the LT2 readily expands using compact modules interfaced via Ethernet or RS-485.
This processing platform is based on an ARM9 CPU running at 400 MHz. The memory configuration includes 32 MB Flash, 64 MB SDRAM, 1 MB SRAM, and a Micro SD card with up to 32 GB capacity. TBox systems are easy to configure and offer dramatically reduced costs versus traditional PLC and SCADA architectures.
Instead of producing device-specific apps, CSE-Semaphore has deployed Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), the agnostic technology of reference for Web 2.0. Without writing code, TBox LT2 users can build device-independent Web pages that include vectorized dynamic objects from an extensive library. The web pages are compatible with all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE9, Opera, Safari), all operating systems (Android, iOS, Linux, Windows) and, therefore, virtually all smart phones and tablets.
