A water agency is using the ADAM-3600 Intelligent RTU to establish remote control and monitoring of a pump station, avoiding the need for daily site visits.
The RTU has been set up to receive discrete and analog input signals from field equipment and instrumentation, in addition to issuing discrete output commands for running equipment.
The agency installed a third party HMI for local control purposes, which exchanges data with the Advantech RTU via Modbus TCP/IP. For remote monitoring and control from the off-site SCADA system, the agency uses the DNP3 communication protocol (over 4G cellular connectivity through a private tunnel via the ADAM-3600 OpenVPN).
Consolidated integration
For integration with OPC UA systems, traditional solutions would have required integration of numerous OPC components and gateways. But the ADAM-3600 and ADAM-6300 series consolidate all monitoring, control and communication functionalities needed in OPC UA systems.
