RSC21 Controller

Overview
RSC21 is a compact intelligent controller that can be used in a number of remote site management
applications. It can interface multiple field I/Os using external instrumentation buses that are natively
supported by the controller, including MODBUS and BacNET industry standard field buses. Due to
the highly modular nature of the design, it is straightforward to extend the RSC21 software in order to
support other bus types, including proprietary vendors’ protocols through the available serial ports.
Direct connection of analogue or digital I/O signals, is accomplished using off-the-shelf remote I/O
modules
RSC21 controller provides full TCP/IP support, and can be integrated in network transparent
management frameworks. It features built-in logic for detecting, prioritizing, combining and processing
alarms, for recording signal values locally, and for performing complex but configurable logic
operations.

Typical application
In typical remote site management applications the RSC21 controller is connected to the supervised
equipment either through the one RS485 port or the three available RS232 ports. Two more RS232
ports can be provided through the USB ports and RS232-to-USB converters. If more than one RS485
port is needed external RS485-to-RS232 modules can be used to convert one or more RS232 ports to
RS485 ports. Direct connectivity to analogue or digital I/O signals from field sensors and equipment is
accomplished with the use of off-the-shelf remote I/O devices.
Communication with the central office is achieved either through an always-on IP connection using the
built-in Ethernet port, or through an external dial-up modem connected to one of the three available
serial RS232 ports.
