Overview

The Mini RTU series devices are made to fulfill Utilities and distribution grids needs in automation. Additionally, this product line is commonly used as control and monitoring equipment for renewable energy sources (solar, wind and hydro). Due to its modularity and variety of selectable modules and functions this series can be implemented for different applications from simple protocol conversion with only the WCC Lite to complex tele-control applications with implemented algorithms, mobile connectivity, and fault passage indicator functions.

The Mini RTU series devices have advanced RTU functions with additional unique functionality as data logger capabilities to collect internal measurements and events, data as time-series data and ability to securely transfer information into the Premise or Cloud based monitoring systems. The Mini RTU series supports networking functions (switch, VPN server/client, rules-based firewall, RESTful API) that allows to easily implement networking tasks on the RTU itself without any additional equipment and improve Cyber security.
