FCN-RTU

FCN-RTU: Low power consumption PLC/RTU

The low power consumption model of the field control node (FCN) autonomous controller meets the demanding requirements at inhospitable remote locations which lack power.

Exclusive features for FCN-RTU

• Modular type PLC/RTU

• Low power consumption (1.6W to 2.9W)

• Wider operation temperature (-40 to 70 ℃*)

• Wide voltage range power supply (10 to 30 V DC)

• One Ethernet, three RS-232, and one RS-422/RS-485

• Multiple built-in I/O on CPU module

• Improved file system stability in case of power failure

• Information transmission package (InfoWell) available

*Depending on I/O modules

For steady operations, high reliability is an essential requirement in the systems that controls and acquires data from various devices and processes and which interlink with other controllers in the control domain. The STARDOM autonomous controllers FCN-RTU have rugged and highly reliable software and hardware, and as an optional feature support dual-redundant configurations for mission-critical applications.

Durable Hardware

FCN-RTU has a highly durable design. In addition to features such as fan-less cooling, there are no IC chips on the backplane, preventing mechanical failures. Furthermore, the use of error check and correct (ECC) memory* prevents software failures.

Secure control even in hazardous applications

FCN-RTU has received ATEX type n certification, FM approval and CSA certification and provides safe and secure control even in hazardous applications. Optional corrosion-proof coatings are also available.

Advanced Self Diagnosis

Rich diagnostic functions make it possible to keep track of CPU temperature, SRAM memory status, and I/O module status. In addition to the diagnostic functions that are performed by the CPU, the analog input modules have embedded self diagnostic functions that can detect disconnected wires and short-circuits by continuously monitoring the loop status.
