“Small, Simple & Full capabilities”
The SICAM A8000 series is a new modular device range for telecontrol and automation applications in all areas of energy supply.
RTU A8000 stands for Remote Terminal Unit A8000, which is part of the SICAM A8000 series of modular devices developed by Siemens for telecontrol and automation applications in various energy supply fields.
RTU A8000 is designed to collect status and measurement data of electrical equipment, and then send it to the central station (Master Station) upon request.
In more detail, RTU A8000 has several main functions:
Data Collection:
RTU A8000 can collect status data (such as switch position) and measurement data (such as voltage, current, power) from electrical equipment in the field.
Communication:
RTU A8000 communicates with the central station (Master Station) through various communication protocols, such as IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, and others.
Data Processing:
RTU A8000 can perform basic data processing, such as calculation and data transformation, before sending it to the central station.
Control:
Some A8000 RTU models also have the ability to execute control commands from a central station, such as opening or closing a switch.
Modularity:
The SICAM A8000 series, including the A8000 RTU, is designed with a modular structure, allowing flexibility in configuration and expansion according to application needs.
With these capabilities, the A8000 RTU plays an important role in SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems to efficiently monitor and control the power grid.
