Device used to control/monitor/record sensor results especially in SCADA applications (i.e., our dataloggers can easily serve as RTUs).
Remote terminal unit. Industrial control and data collection device similar to a PLC but designed for remote data collection, transfer and communication via wire-based or radio telemetry links to DCS or computer systems.
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) is an industrial data collection device typically located at a remote location and communicates data to a host system by using telemetry (such as radio, dial-up telephone, or leased lines).
emote ransmitter nit - a device accepts data from a range of sensors and telemeters the information to a distant destination for recording and processing. RTUs can also receive instructions and act on them as part of a control loop
Remote Terminal Unit, a semi-intelligent device which is linked to the PMC by the OBDH bus and which proveides control and monitoring functions for relatively simple equipment such as power distribution units.
Remote Terminal Unit or Remote Telemetry Unit. Saybolt Furol - A scale used for measuring the viscosity of heavy oils. The instrument has a larger orifice and is used at a higher temperature than the Saybolt Universal instrument used for lighter oils.
Remote Terminal Unit. An RTU is a telemetry site that has a specified number and type of inputs, outputs and analogs . Radio type RTU's would include water towers, ground storage tanks, pump stations, wells, master meter pits and pressure monitoring points. There are also embedded type RTU's at a central site that are hardwired to the central for plant control. Note that all RTU's each have a unique two letter address. RTU's are also sometimes called stations or remotes.
A remote terminal unit that collects data from grid ware such as meters in real time
Remote Terminal Unit. Equipment which collects and passes data from end-use customer's meters to the electric Utility in real time.
Remote Telemetry or Terminal Unit
Remote Terminal Unit. A data acquisition device at a remote location which transmits data back to, and accepts commands from, a central PC (or other controller).
An RTU, or Remote Terminal Unit is a device which interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA system by transmitting telemetry data to the system and/or altering the state of connected objects based on control messages received from the system.
