1 GENERAL FEATURES Z-RTU is compact unit, provided of IEC 61131 configurator and software tool for the telecontrol. Z-RTU is a simple solution to use and install, versatile for remote control, datalogging and I/O management. With particularly small size (185 x 242 x 36,90 mm) and strong aluminium case, Z- RTU offers excellent calculus capabilities (CPU µP RISC 32 bit –...
2 SPECIFICHE TECNICHE In this chapter the technical specifications of the Z-RTU will be illustrated refering to the communication ports, electrical and thermomechanic features and I/O signals management. 2.1 C OMMUNICATION ORTS Z-RTU handles the following communication ports: • Ethernet Port for Local Network connection. •...

• RUN: (Green ) state of PLC. FLASHING: PLC (ISaGRAF) program not present ON: PLC is running. • GSM: ( Red ) state of GSM connection. FAST FLASHING: (Period: 1 s and Ton: 0,5 s): Search of the network, not registered o in turn off phase.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4.1 P OWER UPPLY The power supply voltage must be included between 10-30 Vdc. The upper limits must not be exceeded: this may seriously damage the module. The PE terminal must be connected to ground either for EMC, I/O channels protections and phone line issues. Z-RTU is protected through a renewable fuse (capacity: 3A @ 25°...
The total current taken from ( + ) terminal does not have to be greater than 40 mA ( the output is anyway protected from overloads). 4.4 A NALOG OUTPUTS The analog outputs may be set through dip-switches (paragraph 4.8) in current (0-20 mA) or voltage (0-10V).

16 bits registers (words), with address from 00 to 30, whose functionalities are the same for both the boards. The configuration of Z-RTU I/O signals is easily managed through Z-NET3 software, furnished by Seneca. The following table lists and describes the Registers present in the boards by referring to the next data structure: The notation Bit [x:y] indicates all the bits from x to y: xy.
