Moxa ioPAC 5542 RTU

Moxa’s ioPAC 5542 remote terminal units (RTUs) are hardy, compact, metal-encased all-in-one controllers that combine a GPRS/HSPA cellular modem, fully featured I/O terminals and a data logger in a single device.

The ioPAC 5542 is an RTU that supports standalone data logging expandable up to 32 GB. The ioPAC 5542 comes with Moxa’s Active OPC Server software, which confers the power of push communications, from edge to core, giving benefits that include reductions in data transmissions, lower hardware costs, and lower deployment and maintenance costs. The ioPAC 5542 RTUs additionally feature high sampling rates, a prerecorded event buffer, millisecond scale timestamps and a choice of C/C++ or IEC 61131-3 programming platforms.

Designed to work reliably in harsh industrial environments, ioPAC 5542 RTUs feature railway-grade ESD and surge protection, wide tolerance for temperatures from -40 to 75°C (-30 to 75°C for HSPA models), and are UL/cUL Class 1 Division 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certified. For network redundancy and communications security, ioPAC 5542 RTUs come with two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports that may be trunked into a single uplink, as well as two software-selectable 3-in-1 serial ports.

ioPAC 5542 RTUs provide benefits beyond high-performance RTU roles; they are suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications, including pipeline monitoring for water, oil, and gas; pump- and lift-station monitoring; environmental monitoring; and security surveillance.
