ACE1000 Remote Terminal Unit

SCADA Solutions- Reliable communications over large areas

The versatile and powerful ACE1000 will deliver the timely communications you need, without having to completely redesign your current system. In a new, compact package, the ACE1000 is the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) that will facilitate higher reliability and interoperability at a lower cost.

Its powerful processer combined with FLASH and RAM memory allows this RTU to be used in the most demanding SCADA environments. Easy to install and use with a web-based easy-programming tool, the ACE1000 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) is great for starting a new SCADA system or adding to an existing one.

Features

Intelligence simplified
The ACE1000 allows you to easily automate processes and communicate data across your operations on a Linux based operating system for quick and easy application programming.

Connection versatility across operational technologies
Connect to operational technologies seamlessly and transmit information efficiently with the ACE1000’s extensive common data protocol support combined with our enhanced MDLC protocol.

Interoperable communication capabilities
The ACE1000’s unique communication capabilities allow your system to transmit your valuable data over a variety of media including analog/digital two-way radio, dial-up modem, point-to-point microwave, 3G/4G public or private, and Ethernet - simultaneously.

Seamless configuration
The ACE1000 is easy to install and has a user-friendly configuration tools allowing you to set up your whole system, rather than each unit individually, quickly and easily. The new menu-driven GUI and the “Easy Programming Tool” further reduce the amount of time and money needed for deploying a system.

Rugged and ready for the field
The ACE1000 RTU is designed to withstand harsh conditions, unlike the average programmable logic controller (PLC), which is built for the factory floor. Temperature, altitude, and humidity are no match for the ACE1000, which meets IECEx/ ATEX - EXnA IIC T4 (Cat 3/Zone 2) rugged specifications.

Eco-friendly, green performance features
The ACE1000 offers Low Power and Sleep mode options, ideal for when you’re operating on solar power
