Brodersen warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized
by Brodersen, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Brodersen assumes no liability under the
terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Brodersen’s high quality control standards and rigorous testing,
most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If a Brodersen product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no

service time, and freight. Please consult your distributor for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, Product type and s/n, hardware and software
version etc.) Note anything abnormal and describe the error in a product failure report.
2. Call your distributor and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any helpful information readily
available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, make arrangement with your distributor about this.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete failure report and a photocopy of proof of purchase date (such as your sales

2Introduction
2.1 RTU32M –The modular Brodersen RTU, PLC and Industrial Controller
The Brodersen RTU32M series is based on a 32-bit i.Mx6 ARM platform, providing a small footprint modular RTU and PLC with leading
edge functionality. As well as being a versatile RTU and PLC with flexible I/O designed to perform embedded data processing, control,
data logging and monitoring, it is also a networking communicator for collecting, managing and communicating data via protocols on
different physical interfaces upwards and downwards in an industrial environment.
Typical applications for the RTU32M are:
•Control and monitoring of water and waste water pump stations
•Substation automation applications
•Railway level crossing monitoring
•Communication Gateway applications between SCADA protocols –including Modbus, DNP3 and IEC60870.
The RTU32M hardware platform includes a 200-900MHz CPU with 128-256MB RAM and integrated 128MB NAND Flash. In addition, an
optional removable microSD Flash card (default is 4GB, supports up to 64GB), provides an easy to use portable access/upgrade option.
The integrated Flash stores the main RTU32 firmware including embedded Linux OS and your PLC runtime application. Standard drivers
like the Modbus Protocol Suite, IEC60870 or DNP3 are stored in the integrated NAND Flash. The removable microSD card can be used
for storing backup files and data logging files.
2.2 WebServer configuration and PLC programming in all IEC61131 languages
The RTU32M, like the other RTU32 Series of RTUs is configured via the integrated WebServer. Settings like LAN port addressing, time
functions and 3g/4g modem credentials are handled in webpages. Online monitoring of connected physical I/O and display of graphical
overviews is possible via webpages.
Programming of logic functions and configuration of communications drivers is managed using the Brodersen WorkSuite package
software. WorkSuite is a powerful tool that is used for configuration and programming of all RTU32 Series products. Applications
developed and running in the RTU32M will easily run directly on the other RTU32 Series products. The full suite WorkSuite software
package is included in the product package, and it will run in demo mode without any license (with some runtime restrictions).

3Getting Started
3.1 Configuration and default settings
The LAN interface on the RTU32M is set to its factory default settings at delivery:
LAN1: 192.168.0.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0
You can use the LAN1 interface to configure the basic settings in the RTU32M. The basic settings include setup of network parameters
such as IP address, Subnet mask, default gateway, time settings, general username and password for accessing the web server pages
and file system with FTP etc.
The configuration is done via web pages in the RTU32M Web Server. You must use your normal web browser to setup the basic settings
for the RTU32M. The web pages are optimized for MS Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. If you are experiencing problems with
using the latest MS Internet Explorer version, please enable Compatibility settings in the browser.
4How to connect and prepare your PC to configure the RTU32M
4.1 Wiring
Use a cross-wired or standard patch cable to connect your PC Ethernet interface to the LAN1 Ethernet interface of the RTU. Apply
power to the RTU –make sure that you connect the correct power supply voltage (24VDC).
4.2 Setting up your PC Ethernet driver (Windows)
Your PC Ethernet driver must be setup to work in the same network segment as the LAN interface on the RTU32 you use. You must
setup your PC Ethernet TCP/IP driver to work in the segment IP 192.168.0.x.
To setup the Ethernet driver select start –Settings –Network Connections –Local Area Connections and the following window will
appear:
Click on Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4), and click Properties. A new window for setting the PC IP address will appear. Set an IP address
in the same segment as the selected LAN IP address, for example 192.168.0.100 as shown here below.

NOTE: If you want to re-configure your Ethernet TCP/IP driver back to initial settings, it is recommended that you note the settings
before you change them for setting up the RTU32M.
Click OK and OK again at the Local Area Connection Properties window. Now your PC Ethernet driver is setup for communicating with
the RTU32M. Now apply power to the RTU32M. Wait for the RTU32M to boot up –takes approx. 20s. As a minimum the orange Run
LED on the CPU front PANEL must be lit.
4.3 First time configuration
Start your Internet browser and enter the IP address of the RTU32M in the address field:
Now the first web page will appear in your browser and you will be asked to enter a username and password.
The username is admin.
The RTU32M is shipped with the administrator password set to admin. Be sure to change the default password from the
Maintenance>Password menu item.

4.4 RTU32M –Licensing
The RTU32M includes license options that manage the tag quantity and enable use of advanced drivers and options, hence some
restrictions may be imposed, including limiting the number of project variables, drivers and driver tags/data points. The System
Overview page includes information about the licensing, as shown in the example below.
The license limitations are managed by the firmware of the RTU32M. If you try to start a logic application in the RTU32M that exceeds
these limits, the project will NOT start and an info message in the Runtime info window in WorkSuite will indicate the status of the
limits in your project. Every time you start a runtime project the current status will be shown in the Runtime message window

and in the System Log of the RTU32M:
4.5 Adding Drivers and Runtime Options
The RTU32M Licensing interface allows loading and activation of runtime license options. The RTU ID is used by the Brodersen factory
to generate a unique license code that enables the required functionality. If you need additional drivers or other increased
functionality that requires a license upgrade, please contact Brodersen or your authorized distributor and provide them with the RTU
ID and details of the license requirements. You will then be sent a new license key that can be pasted in to the License Key field and
then select ‘Apply’ to activate the new license options. The example below shows a RTU32M licensed with many driver and
functionality options.
