Advanced rtu to control and manage r&m stations gas

The RTU Starbox LX2 handles the following main functions:

  • remote control of plant’s operating parameters
  • remote control of measurement parameters
  • gas preheating

Starbox LX2 is an innovative Linux RTU - internet inside, suitable for the remote control of remote units even in particularly difficult environments. The RTU embodies the typical characteristics of a data logger with advanced multimedia features. In fact, it is a system where process control, mul- timedia capabilities, remote management and the internet are available and usable with identi- cal operating standards and can be activated in a simple and intuitive way.

REMOTE MULTIMEDIA AND MULTI-ACCESS COMMUNICATION WITH OPERATIONAL CENTRES
For remote connectivity with SCADA operational centres and maintenance centres, connections are available with GPRS, 3G, 4G, ADSL, F.O., Wireless Network, Radio Modem modems.

Wide range of communication protocols for both local and remote connectivity. Easily connected to local PLCs, instrumentation and supervisors, as well as SCADA operational centres.

Large range of local line communication modes: ETHERNET, RS232, RS485, USB, WI-FI.

EMBEDDED PLC
The LADDER language is included to manage control logic that extends the management capabilities of the entire R&M station.

INTEGRATED MULTIFUNCTIONAL WEB SERVER
Able to combine the functionality of a WEB SERVER with the field peculiarities of an RTU.
