Distributed Control System (DCS)
DM500 Series RTU (Rack Mount Remote Terminal Unit)
DM500 ensures high reliability in mission-critical facilities with its 19” rack-mount structure, hot-standby redundant CPU architecture, and redundant power supplies. With its NTP Server/Client module and expandable I/O options, it provides strong, flexible, and scalable integration into SCADA systems.
Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
Distributed Control Systems (DCS)
are hardware-based control networks used to monitor and manage industrial processes.
A DCS architecture consists of multiple controllers that can operate independently
of a centralized control room. This structure ensures uninterrupted process continuity,
as other controllers can seamlessly take over operations in the event of a failure
in one controller.
DM500 Series Rack Mount Remote Terminal Unit
Mikrodev DM500 Series RTU (Rack Mount Remote Terminal Unit)
is a key component of Distributed Control Systems, designed to collect and transmit
data from field sensors and actuators. The domestically manufactured DM500 Series RTUs
feature a modular architecture, allowing various input and output modules to be added
according to application requirements. This structure provides high performance,
reliability, and operational flexibility.
Mikrodev DM500 Series Rack Mount RTUs are designed for the control and monitoring of
smart electrical devices. They support standard industrial communication protocols
such as IEC 61850, MODBUS TCP, and MODBUS RTU, and can communicate with SCADA or
control center software via IEC 60870, DNP3, and MODBUS TCP protocols.
Programming and Rack Architecture
DM500 Series RTUs are programmed using the Function Block Diagram (FBD) language,
defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard. The drag-and-drop structure of FBD allows
fast and intuitive application development. The rack mount architecture provides
automatic device ID assignment and enables single-point power supply for all modules
on the panel, reducing cabling complexity.
Primary and redundant power supply units (PSUs) are automatically assigned according
to the slot position on the rack panel, without requiring external connections.
This design ensures uninterrupted power distribution and reliable system operation
through a single rack structure.
Common Technical Features
Mikrodev offers multiple DM500 Series RTU configurations, including solutions for
PLC, PLC GSM, and domestically produced RTU applications. Common features across
the DM500 Series include support for Modbus RTU/TCP, IEC 60870-5-101/104, DNP3,
and IEC 61850 protocols, as well as a 32-bit ARM Cortex-A8 processor running on
a Linux operating system.
All DM500 Series RTUs are designed with a 19-inch rack mount enclosure, making them
suitable for industrial control panels and centralized automation infrastructures.
Individual models within the series may differ in terms of specific technical
specifications.
