Defining Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
Each RTU in the system must be identified on the Home screen. When an RTU is added, it is
automatically assigned a unique hexadecimal address, which is shown below the RTU icon. The
operating system software uses this number to identify each RTU for data communication.
N OTE : When the RTU is installed in the field, the RTU’s address switch must be set to match the address
shown on the Home screen.
To add an RTU, click on the Add New icon on navigation bar.
Example:
The screen shown below is an example of adding four RTUs.
Entering RTU Descriptions
To enter a description of each RTU, click on the RTU icon to display the RTU screen. Enter a description
of the RTU in the text box provided. Generally the description identifies the geographic location of the
RTU. Refer to the Assigning RTU Parameters section of this manual for more information.
Once entered, the RTU description will appear below the RTU icon on the Home screen as shown below.
The number shown under the icon is automatically assigned and represents the RTU address.
