ACE3600 RTU Construction The ACE3600 RTU is a universal device that may serve as an RTU, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), or as the system FEP. It is placed at the system's field sites to collect data from on-site sensors, add data from off-site sources, and use this data aggregate to make decisions regarding how some process is operating. The RTU may make changes to the local process; messages may be initiated that send data elsewhere to influence the operation of off-site equipment or to advise the SCADA Manager of some important change. The ACE3600 is available in various structures: Frame which can accommodate a varied number and type of modules Metal chassis which accommodates the frame, and optional radios, backup battery and communication interfaces Protective housing which accommodates the frame, and optional radios, backup battery and communication interfaces (suitable for outdoor installation) The ACE3600 frame consists of the following elements: Plastic slots which accommodate the power supply, CPU and I/O modules, and backplane bus motherboard Mounting plate for attaching the plastic slots together and mounting the frame on a wall Backplane bus motherboard which connects the modules to each other via the signal buses and connects the modules with operating voltages Power junction box for AC or DC power source and ground connections A frame can be mounted on the wall or installed in a 19" rack or customer enclosure. 3
