DataSite Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
1758-RTU Overview
When you need a rugged Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), the Allen-Bradley DataSite™ controller from Rockwell Automation is an excellent technology for service in harsh and extreme industrial environments like oil, gas, pipeline, electrical and industrial combustion applications. It is ideal for applications that require wide temperature ratings and low power consumption, and applications that are remote and powered by solar cells or wind power. Electronic flow meter versions of DataSite incorporate AGA 3, AGA 7, and AGA 8 algorithms for computation of natural gas flow, making it well-suited for remote site natural gas well-head monitoring.
Features
