Working Principle RTU communicates with module over ROC bus. Analog 4 to 20 mA signals are sampled and digitized. Pulse inputs count meter pulses for flow totalization. Discrete channels read switches and drive outputs. Data is uploaded to flow computer. Hazardous area protection limits energy.

Installation Requirements

  • DIN rail mount in RTU enclosure
  • Wire 4 to 20 mA transmitters
  • Connect pulse meter cable
  • DC supply from RTU
  • Grounding
  • Temperature -40 °C to +75 °C
  • Configure channels and engineering units
  • ATEX installation rules for hazardous area

Precautions

  • Transmitter loop power matches
