RTU 6500 Series

The Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) 6500 series offers flexibility and scalability from small to medium size SCADA applications in various industries. It is designed for deployment in outdoor or harsh environment with operating temperature of 70°C and humidity reaching 90% RH.

We have in the water industry, deployed for the monitoring and control of the pumping stations, lifting stations, valves, meters (energy, flow, pressure and temperature), reservoirs and water quality sites. In the gas industry, it is used for gas composition monitoring sending data to the central control system.
