Expert System Solutions (ESS) has launched its latest South African designed and developed TETRA-RTU-SRB. At the conference ESS gave a live demonstration sending data from an electrical power meter via TETRA communications in the DNP-3 protocol to a scada system. The ESS product advantage is the low bandwidth utilisation. This is linked to the intelligent processing of the DNP-3 data with the result that only updated data is transferred once changes have taken place.
ESS’s innovative developments have been recognised by the TETRA industry with the TETRA-RTU-SRB being nominated as a finalist in the category 'Best Innovation' for the 2014 TETRA awards. This is a great achievement for ESS and for South Africa, demonstrating initiative, expertise and innovative abilities in the wireless radio communications field.
The TETRA-RTU-SRB is a wireless telemetry/telecontrol device capable of interfacing with PLC, scada, discrete IOs, analogue inputs and others. The physical connection can be RS-232, RS-485 and LAN (TCP/IP). Protocols that the unit can manage include OPC, Modbus, IEC-8870-5-101,103 and DNP-3.
The true value of the ESS RTU is that it can operate on various wireless communication technologies. The inbuilt Linux microprocessor simplifies programming and enhances the capability of the product to be adapted to client specific requirements. In line with ESS’s development focus of providing solutions to the growing demand for wireless applications and data efficiency in the telemetry industry.
ESS’s development focus has now shifted to unlock the true value offered by the ESS RTU. This is done by focusing on providing solutions to industry where wireless communication is of critical importance. ESS, with its development partners, is currently finalising an innovative industrial security solution for key point monitoring and control.
