2 Introduction
2.1 RTU32M – The modular Brodersen RTU, PLC and Industrial Controller
The Brodersen RTU32M series is based on a 32-bit i.Mx6 ARM platform, providing a small footprint modular RTU and PLC with leading
edge functionality. As well as being a versatile RTU and PLC with flexible I/O designed to perform embedded data processing, control,
data logging and monitoring, it is also a networking communicator for collecting, managing and communicating data via protocols on
different physical interfaces upwards and downwards in an industrial environment.
Typical applications for the RTU32M are:
• Control and monitoring of water and waste water pump stations
• Substation automation applications
• Railway level crossing monitoring
• Communication Gateway applications between SCADA protocols – including Modbus, DNP3 and IEC60870.
The RTU32M hardware platform includes a 200-900MHz CPU with 128-256MB RAM and integrated 128MB NAND Flash. In addition, an
optional removable microSD Flash card (default is 4GB, supports up to 64GB), provides an easy to use portable access/upgrade option.
The integrated Flash stores the main RTU32 firmware including embedded Linux OS and your PLC runtime application. Standard drivers
like the Modbus Protocol Suite, IEC60870 or DNP3 are stored in the integrated NAND Flash. The removable microSD card can be used
for storing backup files and data logging files.
2.2 WebServer configuration and PLC programming in all IEC61131 languages
The RTU32M, like the other RTU32 Series of RTUs is configured via the integrated WebServer. Settings like LAN port addressing, time
functions and 3g/4g modem credentials are handled in webpages. Online monitoring of connected physical I/O and display of graphical
overviews is possible via webpages.
Programming of logic functions and configuration of communications drivers is managed using the Brodersen WorkSuite package
software. WorkSuite is a powerful tool that is used for configuration and programming of all RTU32 Series products. Applications
developed and running in the RTU32M will easily run directly on the other RTU32 Series products. The full suite WorkSuite software
package is included in the product package, and it will run in demo mode without any license (with some runtime restrictions).
