RTU-UNIVERSAL CARD

2.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The UNIV-RTU is a micro controller based module developed to
process Digital inputs, Analog inputs and Relay outputs of any real
time data acquisition system used in process industries like nuclear
power plants.
It consists of 16 channel digital input 8 channel analog inputs 8
channel relay output, Real time clock and Watch dog timer interfaced
externally and inbuilt Random Access Memory.
The AT89C51RD2 based card focuses on the software implantation
using C language and Micro vision KEIL-4 cross-compiler on
Windows platform.
The UNIVERSAL-RTU module is one of the remote terminal units
(RTU) used in the development of various Safety Class and NonNuclear Safety (NNS) systems of PFBR .It acquires field signals from
various sensors like K-type thermocouples, Limit switches,
Transmitters, and Leak Detectors etc. and send digitized data packets
through Ethernet to the nearest LCC for Distributed Control System
(DDCS) display.
The typical applications where the UNIVERSAL-RTU module is used
are Nuclear Plants, Power Stations, Fertilizer Industry, Refineries,
Chemical Plants, Breweries and Marine Applications.

2.3. ARCHITECTURE
An RTU monitors the field digital and analog parameters and transmits data to the
Central Monitoring Station. It contains setup software to connect data input
streams to data output streams, define communication protocols, and troubleshoot
installation problems. An RTU may consist of one complex circuit card consisting
of various sections needed to do a custom fitted function or may consist of many
circuit cards including CPU or processing with communications interface(s), and
one or more of the following: (AI) analog input, (DI) digital input, (DO/CO) digital
or control (relay) output, or (AO) analog output card(s).
