DDS-10001-08 Sensus RTM II Smart Communication Gateway and Control Description The Sensus Remote Telemetry Module (RTM II) is a cost-effective communication solution for remote monitoring and control of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that control electric distribution system assets such as reclosers, switches, capacitor banks, breakers, voltage regulators, and meters. The RTM II enables remote firmware updates, includes a USB port, and communicates using cellular communication networks or Sensus FlexNet networks. The device communicates with any IED that supports DNP3/IEEE 1815 or Modbus protocol. End-to-end interoperability is then achieved with the AutomationControl software suite. This allows for easy integration with third-party SCADA software platforms via our SCADA-Xchange interface. Applications The devices are ideally suited for smart grid distribution automation applications such as reclosers, capacitor banks, distribution switches, faulted circuit indicators, voltage regulators, distributed generation, load control, and distribution substations. Models with FlexNet radios communicate using packet data over the Sensus FlexNet networks. The devices can be installed on any FlexNet system that is configured to support the AutomationControl application platform. Models with cellular radios configured to support the AutomationControl application platform communicate using the AT&T 4G/LTE/3G or Verizon 4G/LTE cellular data networks. The devices can be installed anywhere AT&T or Verizon service is available, including their roaming partners. The RTM II continuously polls connected IEDs through a local serial connection. When a userdefined change is detected, the RTM II transmits an event report via the cellular or FlexNet network. This minimizes communication traffic while providing real-time information. Status of equipment is obtained through the Sensus AutomationControl application with a standard PC browser or via the utility s SCADA system using Sensus SCADA Xchange. Features and Benefits Monitors status of IEDs and reports userconfigured data, events, and alarms Designed specifically to communicate with IEDs from leading manufacturers such as Cooper Power Systems, ABB, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, S&C Electric Company, GE, T&B/ Joslyn Hi-Voltage, ICMI and many others Communicates via standard RS 232 serial connection with IEDs. The RTM II functions as the master in the master-slave relationship, polling the IED for information. Supports up to five DNP3 device addresses, supporting a different DNP/IEC point map/ profile Features Flexible smart utility communication options: FlexNet and/or 4G/LTE cellular data networks Two-way communication Interoperability: Supports over a hundred different IED integrations for 19 separate applications Remote monitoring and control of IEDs using standard DNP3 or Modbus protocols Automated user notifications for userconfigured data, events, and alarms Real-time equipment status information using AutomationControl and a standard Internet browser SCADA interface Remote firmware updates Local configuration utility included
Supports intelligent reporting and control via: - Unsolicited Report-by-Exception on userdefined analog or digital points - Time scheduled reports on user-selected points and defined time intervals - Updates are available on demand via SCADA or the AutomationControl application Information is sent to the AutomationControl application at the Sensus Data Center, and optionally to the utility SCADA system Secure two-way communications allow direct status queries and control of the IED Integration kits, including specific device point maps/profiles, are available for most popular IEDs to facilitate simple and easy installation Unique configuration profiles are created using AutomationControl for all SCADA points that are monitored and reported. Users can specify SCADA point criteria such as: - Multiple reporting set points and a configurable trigger time per analog input - Binary input report-on-change with configurable trigger time - Time scheduled reports with configurable reporting interval from 1 minute up to 14 days AutomationControl The AutomationControl application is a powerful and flexible suite of tools for managing communications and distribution system equipment. Access equipment status from any PC using a standard browser Each user has a secure account that provides access to their equipment Data is secure and password protected A SCADA system is not required. Utilities can utilize AutomationControl with or without SCADA connectivity. Manage equipment, communications, and users Monitor and control field equipment Automated user email notifications provide immediate information on events such as a recloser lockout or low voltage/outage conditions Device history logs all communications with equipment Request equipment status and analog values at any time Encryption and key rotation. Sensus uses industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit key encryption to secure data in transit over the FlexNet system. Sensus offers AutomationControl as a flexible and secure cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. Features (continued) Supports intelligent reporting and control Three reporting methods: Report by exception Time-scheduled reports Response to report requests Integration kits provided for most popular IEDs for easy installation Software and hardware data transmission security with firewalls and strong encryption algorithms 24/7 monitoring and maximum safety and reliability through SaaS and the Sensus Data Center
SCADA Interface All Sensus Automation devices can be monitored and controlled through an existing SCADA or DMS system via DNP3/IEEE 1815 protocols and the Sensus SCADA-Xchange interface. Additional Software Tools Two additional software tools are part of the AutomationControl suite: Automation Device Configurator and IED Remote Connect Client. Both are Microsoft Windows based utilities installed locally on a PC. Automation Device Configurator provides a way to install, power up, and commission a device in the field, which then receives configuration settings from AutomationControl. A standard USB connection is used to connect a PC directly to the Sensus device. IED Remote Connect Client provides an interface to connect remotely to an IED through a Sensus device.
