RTU Expands Ethernet I/O

May 9, 2007
The vendor’s Bristol ControlWave Micro Hybrid RTU now supports larger applications with new dual Ethernet ports that provide network segmentation without the need for external routers.
The functionality is provided in new Dual Port Ethernet CPU and I/O Expansion CPUs that allow separation of host communications from expansion I/O communications. The advantage of this configuration is dedicated connectivity to expanded/remote I/O installations using the speed of an Ethernet backbone, maximizing the speed and bandwidth available to Control I/O, says the vendor. The ControlWave Micro base chassis is expandable with up to fourteen slots of I/O. For applications with larger concentrations of I/O, the Dual Port Ethernet CPU allows communication with several I/O Expansion chassis, each with up to fourteen I/O slots. ControlWave technologies are used for remote measurement, control, and SCADA applications in the energy, water, and wastewater industries.Emerson Process Managementwww.emersonprocess.com/Remote800.395.5497
