MOSCAD RTU

The MOSCAD RTU is a smart modular unit designed to operate as a stand-alone controller or
as part of a system having any number of RTUs, control centers and sub-centers connected
through a communication network with any number of links and nodes.
The MOSCAD RTU must be configured and loaded with the appropriate application using the
MOSCAD Programming Toolbox.
The MOSCAD RTU is a microprocessor-based unit, which basically consists of a CPU
module and various I/O and communication modules. A wide range of I/O and communication
modules makes the MOSCAD system flexible to meet most application requirements.
For further details on the MOSCAD RTU, refer to the MOSCAD Owner's Manual and the
MOSCAD Service Manual.

MOSCAD Toolbox

The MOSCAD Programming Toolbox software package allows the system engineer to define
and maintain the MOSCAD system according to user needs and requirements. The following
main functions may be performed by means of the MOSCAD Programming Toolbox:
1. Editing the RTU user program including the following:
Site Configuration according to hardware and port configuration
Network Configuration according to network configuration
Application database
Application process
2. Preparing project documentation for the user
3. Automatically creating a central file to be used later during RTU database creation in the
SCADA control center
4. Downloading Site Configuration to the MOSCAD RTU via the RS-232 port of the unit
5. Performing the following functions on any MOSCAD RTU either via local connection or
via the communication network:
Uploading Site Configuration and related data
Downloading Application Program and Network Configuration
Real-time symbolic (graphic) monitoring and debugging of the application (both
database and process)
Updating time and date at RTU sites
