1.1
Application and use of the RTU
Applications
The RTU is intended for monitoring and controlling small outlying stations without a
connection to a power supply network.
In telecontrol networks, the RTU is used to connect the outlying stations to the master station
via mobile wireless or via the LAN interface of the RTU and an optional external router.
Core functions
The RTU supports the following core functions:
●
Energy-saving operation
Thanks to the energy-saving operation with various operating modes (see below), the
RTU is predestined for use in geographically distributed outlying stations, measuring
points and other applications without connection to a power supply network.
The RTU can be supplied with auxiliary power via the following power sources:
–Battery modules
Battery modules are available as accessories, see Appendix Battery module
(Page 275)
–External power source e.g. solar modules
●
Process connection
For the process connection, the RTU is equipped with inputs and outputs:
–8 x DI (digital inputs)
–4 x DQ (digital outputs)
–4 x AI (analog inputs)
●
Controller
For simple control tasks, the process data can be linked via program blocks.
●
Storing process data (Logging)
The RTU provides the option of storing the process data of the connected sensors and
the values of some internal parameters on an SD card.
Use this option when there is no communications partner in the master station for the
RTU.
If you transfer the process data via mobile wireless to the master station, you can also
use the function (optional).

●
Communication with the control room
If a communications partner is available in the master station, the RTU can send process
data to the control room. The data is transferred either via the mobile wireless service
GPRS or UMTS or via LAN (optionally with an external router).
●
Telecontrol protocols
For communication with the master station, the RTU supports the following protocols:
–TeleControl Basic
–SINAUT ST7
–DNP3
–IEC 60870-5-104
You will find detailed information about the protocols in the section Communications
services (Page 23).

SMS / E-mail / FTP
Figure 1-1 Sending SMS messages by the RTU
Sending SMS messages / e-mail
The RTU can send messages (SMS / e-mails) for configurable events via program blocks or
using the logging function.
After a request from a mobile telephone, a diagnostics SMS message can be sent.
In the attachment of e-mails, you have the option of transferring the process image, the
diagnostics buffer or the current log file.
Receiving SMS messages
The RTU can be wakened out of the sleep mode by the telecontrol server or by the SMS
message of a mobile telephone or by SINEMA Remote Connect to establish a connection to
the communications partner
All mobile phones that are permitted to send a wake-up SMS message or the request for a
diagnostics SMS message to the RTU, must be enabled with the phone number of every
user in the WBM of the RTU ("Wake-up call allowed").
FTP file transfer
The RTU can transfer files to an FTP server in the LAN or reachable via the Internet via an

Telecontrol with the "TeleControl Basic" protocol
In the following example the RTU uses the "TeleControl Basic" protocol and communicates
via the mobile wireless network and the Internet with the teleconrol server (TCSB) in the
master station.
Using its integrated OPC server, the telecontrol server exchanges data with the OPC client
of the control center.

Telecontrol with the "ST7" protocol
In the following example the RTU communicates using the telecontrol protocol SINAUT ST7.
For secure communication, the RTU uses the transport protocol "MSCsec".
The figure includes two alternative connections:
●RTU3010C with connection via the Internet
●RTU3030C with connection via mobile wireless and Internet
A connection via LAN or only via the Internet would also be possible.

Telecontrol with the "DNP3" protocol
The following example contains a configuration with stations that communicate with the
master via the mobile wireless network and the Internet.
In this example, the master is redundant. The two redundant devices of the master are
addressed by the RTU using one DNP3 address but two different IP addresses.
The connections between stations and master are via an OpenVPN server "SINEMA
Remote Connect".
When using the DNP3 protocol, for example, SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl or the system of a
third-party provider can be used as the master. If you use SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl as
the DPN3 master, you require the necessary DPN3 driver.

Telecontrol with the IEC protocol
The following example contains a configuration with stations that communicate with the
master via the mobile wireless network and the Internet.
The connections between stations and master are via an OpenVPN server "SINEMA
Remote Connect".

Modes and operating modes
Modes
The modes of the RTU are not configured explicitly but result from the configuration of the
communications partner and the existence of an SD card.
The RTU can be operated one or both of the following modes:

TeleControl
In the "TeleControl" mode, the RTU can send process data via the mobile wireless network
or via the LAN interface and an external router to a master station (see also "Communication
mode" below).
This mode is adopted when a communications partner (master station) is configured.
As an option, process data can be stored on an SD card. To do this logging must be enabled
in the WBM in "Operating mode".
Logging
In the "Logging" mode the RTU has no communications partner in the master station.
Instead, the RTU stores the process data.
This operating mode is adopted when logging must be enabled in the WBM in "Operating
mode".
In the "Logging" mode, the RTU requires an SD card where it can store the process data.
The stored process data can be read out from the SD card or sent via the mobile wireless
network or the LAN interface and an external router. Cyclic sending is possible by e-mail or
FTP. You can load the data on a PC via the WBM.
Operating modes
The RTU can adopt the following operating modes:
●Sleep mode
●Update mode
●Communication mode
●Service mode
Sleep mode
In the energy-saving standard operating mode the updating of the inputs and outputs, the
communications functions, the LEDs and the self check function (see section Other services
and properties (Page 30)) of the RTU are turned off.
The RTU interrupts the sleep mode in the following situations:
●Pressing the button "WKUP" and changing to the service mode
●Configured change to the update mode (WBM > Operating mode)"
With the inputs, other specific update cycles can be configured (WBM > "Tags").
●Configured change to the communication mode (WBM > Operating mode)"
●Pending diagnostics message with configured change to the communication mode (WBM
> "Diagnostics" > "Notifications")
