Product Description
CPU: 32-bit Motorola 68020 processor, 16-bit 80C196 I/O processor, IEEE floating-point math. CPU clock frequency: 16.67 MHz. Real-time clock: Clock/calendar, Epson 62421A with battery backup. Uses Software: FactoryFloor (OptoControl, OptoDisplay, and OptoServer), Classic Software (Cyrano, Mistic MMI, and MDS). . The Modular M4RTU Controller combines an Opto 22 controller, I/O modules, and an intelligent I/O co-processor in a single package. The M4RTU features communications capabilities, built-in diagnostics, and 32-bit processors. Modular controllers use the Opto 22 distributed, intelligent I/O architecture and provide a hardware foundation for Opto 22’s legacy FactoryFloor software suite. The M4RTU combines the features and functions of a remote telemetry unit (RTU) with the function of a distributed automation system, in a single controller. The M4RTU is used for remote applications in harsh environments where the M4’s broad range of communications options, including radio modems, cellular modems, and even satellite communications capabilities, are critical. The M4RTU was designed for industrial field applications, such as waste water treatment, well monitoring, tank farms, petrochemical and gas pipelines, remote office/plant management, and many others. The M4RTU consolidates two processors on a single processor board. Program control and host communications are handled by a 32-bit 68020 microprocessor, while a 16-bit 80C196 processor handles I/O interfacing and control. This dual-processor board is combined with a digital/analog I/O board, a 3-slot vertical expansion bus board (M4BUS), and a modular power supply into an aluminum extrusion package that can be mounted horizontally or vertically. For safety and convenience, the M4RTU has system monitors for temperature, AC operation, and low battery, and includes a real-time clock and watchdog timers. Removable connector technology is integrated throughout the unit for easy maintenance and wiring removal. Software - The M4RTU is designed to work with FactoryFloor, Opto 22’s legacy suite of industrial control software applications. FactoryFloor consists of four integrated components. OptoControl is a graphical, flowchart-based development environment.. Opto 22. Opto 22. M4RTU.
