Sixnet RTUs

Sixnet rugged RTUs provide a simple yet powerful means to reliably monitor and control remote sites around the clock in the harshest environments.

The RTUs are configured by using Sixnet’s Windows-based Tool Kit and offer the programming flexibility of either C or ISaGRAF Open programming software which encompasses the following IEC61131-3 languages: Sequential Function Chart, Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Instruction List, Function Block Diagram and Flow Chart.

With a Linux operating platform and open protocols such as Modbus, DNP3 and SNMP, the Sixnet RTU provides the user with the flexibility to interface to a wide range of devices; and with an operating temperature range of -40 to 70°C maximises reliability in the harshest of environments. The RTUs can also be supplied from a 10 to 30 VDC supply, making them suitable for use on battery-powered systems.

The I/O capacity of the RTU can be expanded by adding Sixnet EtherTRAK-2 or third-party I/O modules which can be interfaced to the RTU either serially or via ethernet.

The RTU can also be interfaced to a radio system or to other technologies such as Sixnet’s Industrial Cellular routers, making them suitable for installation on either existing or new networks.
