RTU iRTUe

Thytronic's iRTUe are remote I/O expansion units utilizing IEC 61850 GOOSE communication to enhance and distribute the acquisition and command functionalities of electrical networks. These Remote Terminal Units (RTU) offer flexible I/O configurations, adapting to various application requirements and making iRTUe an ideal solution for updating and configuring electrical communication infrastructures.

In modern substation automation, iRTUe's advanced I/O modules facilitate critical services like interlocking and load shedding. Such performance, achieved through cutting-edge technologies, surpasses the limitations of old protocols and serial communications, with iRTUe ensuring IEC 61850 GOOSE transmissions in less than 3 milliseconds.

Thanks to dual Ethernet (RJ45, ST, SC) or serial (EXP422) connections and synchronization with IEEE 1588 (PTP), our RTUs ensure time precision and interoperability, enabling smooth communication with other network equipment such as RTUs, gateways, additional iRTUe modules, and third-party IEDs, thus optimizing operation on the substations process bus.

Our I/O expansion units are characterized by advanced IEC 61850 GOOSE communication, enabling highly efficient publisher/subscriber data exchange. This technology guarantees high-speed data processing time, achieving 1A type performances of class P2/3, essential for critical applications where every millisecond counts. Our units' configuration is particularly flexible, offering two I/O cards per unit that support both digital and analogue inputs, adapting perfectly to the specific needs of each facility.

These devices are also equipped with protected technologies to support advanced automation functionalities like load shedding and interlocking, ensuring safe and reliable operations. Moreover, To ensure optimal connection, the units can be connected via an EXP422 serial port or dual Ethernet ports, either copper orfiber, facilitating communication with other iRTUs, iGWs, or any other third-party master unit. Another fundamental aspect is the time synchronization capability through PTP/IEEE1588 or NTP.

Furthermore, the adoption of GGIO data models or customized SCL files allows unprecedented customization, adapting to various operational scenarios. Lastly, power quality measurements are precisely managed by the specialized iRTUe-Q unit, ensuring the network operates efficiently.
