RTU32S – The small Brodersen RTU, PLC and Industrial Controller The Brodersen RTU32S series is based on a 32-bit ARM platform, providing a small footprint RTU and PLC with leading edge functionality. As well as being a versatile RTU and PLC with flexible I/O designed to perform embedded data processing, control, data logging and monitoring, it is also a networking communicator for collecting, managing and communicating data via protocols on different physical interfaces upwards and downwards in an industrial environment.
Your PC Ethernet driver must be setup to work in the same network segment as the LAN interface on the RTU32 you use. You must setup your PC Ethernet TCP/IP driver to work in the segment IP 192.168.0.x.

RTU runtime to another. The Binding protocol is communicating directly from one RTU32 to another RTU32 in a LAN/WAN network. It can run regardless of any other application. In a network with several Brodersen RTUs you can use the Global Binding Editor to bind any global declared variables together.
I/O bus communication. The PLC program cycle is executing the actual application program developed in the Brodersen WorkSuite. It is also running in a high priority tread. The WorkSuite environment provides several functions to control and optimise the application program processes. Refer to WorkSuite/STRATON Training course for details.
RTU/PLC application includes many TCTP/IP based connections over LAN connections, it is recommended to fix the scan time to a value leaving more time to the OS household than automatically assigned.

12.1 General The RTU32S Series support simple HMI functions developed in the WorkSuite tool. By adding a graphic program to your PLC application and downloading it to the RTU you can monitor data online from your PC using an IE browser or the special WorkSuite HMI Viewer. The HMI graphics require downloading separately (they are not downloaded automatically with the PLC runtime application).
COM port setup – see COM port settings for details. The System Log can be viewed by using the Brodersen Event Viewer utility or a standard Telnet window. The Event Viewer is a simple Telnet utility.
The RTU32 allows max 20 continuous connections and the log FIFO include max 100 messages. 13.5 Remote Display / Remote Desktop Tool The RTU32S series includes a remote desktop function, where the Windows CE Cerdisp function can be used for showing your RTU32S Desktop on your local PC.
