RTU560 product line

The rack-based RTU560 product line offers a flexible and

modular design with maximum possibilities for extendibility.

The multi-processor architecture combined with the support

of the full software functionality of the RTU500 series make

for the perfect solution for applications in transmission and

sub transmission.

What is more, the RTU560 product line offers a redundancy

concept for high reliability, including redundant communica

tion units (CMU) and power supplies.

Your benefits

− Maximum possibilities for extendability and enhancement

− Modular platform with high flexibility

− Different possibilities for redundancy

Highlights:

Redundancy concept

RTU560 product line increases availability with a flexible

redundancy concept which is suitable for all types of redun

dant requirements:

− Redundant power supply

− Redundant communication links to the control center and

sub devices

− Redundant pairs of communication units

Redundant power supplies and communication units can be

replaced even during operation, ensuring a reliable system.

Integrated real time clocks

Synchronization of RTU’s internal time with time information

from module ensures that process information from several

terminal units are synchronized, thus providing reliable and

precise system operation. The easy to use real time clock

modules are ready for plug and play.

ABB’s real time clocks are available as:

− GPS receiver: worldwide, time information received from

global positioning system

− DCF 77 Receiver: Germany & central Europe

− IRIG-B /AFNOR connector: North and Central America
