Question { 3181 }

what is RTU with SCADA connection ?

Answer

RTU is a Remote terminal Unit which is reflecting the present status of the equipment in the SCADA. So an operator can do the controlling function of the equipment from the SCADA. Normally in a substation, the feeder status will show in the SCADA through the RTU so operator can do the open/close any breaker in the feeder by SCADA through RTU

Hi friends.

is it possible that SCADA System through RTUs can connect Via PLCC Communication carriers ?

thanks

Answer

Yes possible to connect the RTU through the Power line carrier communication(PLCC). The speed level is 1.2kbits to max 9600 kbits.
The drawback of the PLCC is due to corona effect or a heavy fog in the surrounding the line will disturb the communication.
