RUG3D with Display and Keypad

New USB programming connection

RUG3 INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Purchase the new, small, low power RUG3D RTU/PLC Instrument for use in your telemetry system.  

Using the latest technology available, the small (3.5 X 4.5 X 1.25 in.) unit is packaged in 16 gage steel powder-coated case that can easily be installed into an existing round canister.

The RUG3 is low power (< 4 ma) when running full time with the display and modem on.

6 AI (12bit), 8 DI, 4 Relays out.  

The RUG3 uses a secure CRC error checking protocol for monitoring & control telemetry applications.  

The Display is sunlight readable with or without the LED backlight. The display/keypad make it possible for you to set up the unit without a field computer, observe sensor values, and enter set points on site.  Set point entry can be password protected.  

All calculations are performed in engineering units using floating point math so no operator interpretation of raw data is necessary.  

The RUG3 RTU/PLC is programmed using a free, modular windows program.  

And the cost:  $403 with display and keypad.  Add $59 for a 300 baud modem.

RUG3C without a display

RUG9D Display and Keyboard

RUG9D with Display 

Rugid RTUs are easier to maintain and use in harsh weather conditions.

Large (20 lines x 40 character) LCD display. 

A field PC or notebook is not required to view data or change set points. 

LCD shows trends, bar graphs, time tagged event logs, real time data, set points (swing out or panel mounted).  LCD/keyboard module can be mounted up to 5 feet from card cage. 

 

 

 

RUG9 EXPANSION CARD CAGE

Removable cards, sturdy card cage, expandable, 32 bit microprocessor.

Removable cards for easier maintenance.

Sturdy 16 gauge steel card cage provides noise shielding.

Up to 7 card cages can be connected to main cage to expand to as many as 512 I/O points.

Fast 32 bit microprocessor has large address space with downloadable operating system. 

CRC secured communications, Modbus master and slave setups, multiple communication interfaces.

All units use a CRC secured communication protocol for field data transfer; and the MODBUS protocol for interfacing with color graphic SCADA masters, such as Events.  

Modem units have radio, lease line, RS232C, and phone line interfaces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RUG5 RTU

Complete family of products to fit your application and costs.RUG5 and RUG9 products are available for applications with smaller IO count and larger systems.  

The RUG5 use the same microprocessor as the RUG9 with 4AI, 8DI, 4DO, modem, 2 line display and 2 expansion slots.  The RUG5 is a lower cost RTU and can be used at many of your smaller low point count sites for a smaller cost.

There are 2 RUG5 Expansion slots that use RUG9 boards:  (i.e.  speech-dialer board, sleep board, extra inputs, or extra outputs as required).

RUG5 and RUG9 communicate together without problems.  Use a RUG9 master RTU with a large screen and speech-dialer board, and use the lower cost RUG5 RTU at your remote sites.

Rugid RTUs or PLCs provide a reliable and cost effective solution to your telemetry needs.
