1 System description
The Remote Modular Controller (RMC-100) provides measurement, automation, monitoring, alarming,
asset data management, control, and data logging applications. A single RMC-100 controller can
manage automation, liquids and gas measurement, and asset data concentration for very large
production and transmission facilities.
1.1 Features overview
The RMC provides backward-compatible functionality based on ABB Totalflow software,
communications, and I/O technologies. The existing process foundation and the new enhanced
technology manage liquid and gas measurement, automation, and asset data concentration for large-
scale production and transmission facilities. It is scalable down to a single-board RTU footprint for
smaller systems.
The RMC supports I/O and communication expansion.
The RMC supports dual, backward-compatible TFIO buses, doubling the I/O module capacity to 44
modules.
The table below provides the general specifications for the RMC.
