RTU for hazardous areas

The Kingfisher G30 RTU has successfully completed the MET certification process for safety standards UL 1604, Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I and Class II, Division 2, and Class III Hazardous (Classified) Locations; and CSA 22.2 No. 213-M1987, Non-Incendive Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations.

The G30 SCADA system is a compact RTU for small SCADA system applications requiring up to 32 I/O points. The G30 RTU uses ISaGRAF open programming in all five languages specified by IEC 61131-3 and supports IEC 61499, the distributed processing and interoperability extension to 61131-3. An extensive library of function blocks that include applications such as AGA flow calculations is also provided.

The Kingfisher G30 RTU provides capabilities normally found only in much larger products, in a compact RTU that is cost effective for small installations. The 32-bit, ARM9 main processor ensures there is horsepower to meet the needs of intensive applications. A memory system with 32 MB of SDRAM and 16 MB of Flash allows for high-speed data logging over extended periods. Integral communications include 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, USB 2.0 and an onboard module that provides flexible communications options.

By employing an ARM7 processor on an intelligent I/O module, the Kingfisher G30 RTU can process inputs and outputs on a 1 ms interval with full sequence-of-events monitoring. It also provides high-resolution input acquisition, fail-safe output modes, high-speed counting and pulse generation.
