OptiLogic RTU Bases

OptiLogic Remote Terminal Units (RTU) deliver superior point-of-use 10-BaseT (10 Mbit/s) Ethernet I/O and operator panel capabilities for PC-based data acquisition and control systems. OptiLogic RTUs allow any appropriate combination of OptiLogic I/O modules to be easily plugged into the available slots. OptiLogic RTUs are available with four or eight slots.

• OL4054 4-slot I/O base or OL4058 8-slot I/O base, both with IPX or OptiLogic/UPD communications.
  

• Also, the OL4228 8-slot I/O base extends the OptLogic family to include TCP/IP communications. Now, any Modbus TCP-capable, PC-based application can interface with OptiLogic Ethernet I/O.

RTU Bases Snap-Together Design

The figures above show OptiLogic Ethernet RTU base examples. The particular bases shown are 4-slot bases. (Bases with 4 or 8 slots are available and have the same basic features.) An OptiLogic Ethernet RTU base consists of a card cage containing an OptiLogic motherboard. The base unit has a built-in Ethernet port, as well as an RS232 port. The OptiLogic base mounts by snapping onto a standard DIN rail, or by snapping onto the DIN rail built into OptiLogic operator panels (see right). When attached to an OptiLogic operator panel, the complete assembly can then be panel mounted. I/O and specialty modules plug into the available slots in the OptiLogic base.
