AutoLog® 20AN RTU

Flagship modular RTU · Radio / TCP/IP / GSM / TETRA

Modular RTU built on the proven AutoLog 20AN PLC platform. Eight digital inputs, eight digital outputs, zero-to-eight freely-configurable analog inputs and two analog outputs on the CPU card; expandable up to five I/O cards for a maximum 72 AI / 34 AO / 72 DI / 72 DO. Two serial ports with Modbus RTU master/slave. Communication module selectable per project: AutoLog WSN radio modem on 138-175 / 406-512 / 869-870 / 820-950 MHz, Modbus TCP, GSM GPRS/SMS or TETRA SDS. Web Studio SCADA on the control-room side, with Normal or Redundant operation modes. Manufactured in Finland.
