1. INTRODUCTION

This manual details the specifications for each type of module, option board, cable and
accessory available for use with a Kingfisher Plus+ Remote Terminal Unit (RTU).
A Kingfisher Plus+ Modular RTU is a highly configurable device that can monitor and control
a wide range of equipment. Kingfisher Plus+ modular RTUs are easy to install and configure,
can be large or small, use interchangeable modules, have advanced communications, and
support powerful programming languages.
RTU Features

• Backplanes can be linked together vertically or horizontally providing up to 64 modules
per RTU.
• AC (100 to 240 V
• Battery backup and built-in battery charger.
• Powerful 32-bit Industrial CPUs.
• Up to 16 communication ports.
• Eight-channel analogue input modules.
• Four-channel analogue output modules.
• Eight and sixteen channel digital input/output modules.
• High speed scanning of I/O-signals.
• Electrical isolation of I/O and communication circuits.
• Designed and tested to comply with International Environmental (climatic) Standards
(IEC 60068-2-1, IEC 60068-2-2, IEC 60068-2-78).
• Full support for IEC 61131-3 via the ISaGRAF™ programming environment.
