The power supply modules include terminals that power the RTU and field devices.
Plug in external power connectors on the power supply module(s) to power on the
RTU
Unplug external power connectors on the power supply module(s) to power off the
RTU.
4.2 Establishing Communications
The RTU supports communications through the host SCADA system, or through a local
laptop computer running FBxConnect.
4.2.1 Communicating with the SCADA Host
Communications to the RTU through a SCADA host computer requires configuration of
the host computer software, which varies depending upon whether you are using
OpenEnterprise or another host software package. Much of this configuration is beyond
the scope of this topic, but no matter which host you are using, there are certain steps
you must take:
1. Decide how the SCADA host should communicate with the RTU. This could be through
connection with one of the communication ports. A serial port connection could be a
cable directly connected to the SCADA host or there could be intermediate
connections through a radio or modem. An Ethernet port connection must be
through an Ethernet switch with an appropriate Category 5 shielded patch cable.
