ACE3600 Remote Terminal Unit
The ACE3600 remote terminal unit (RTU) combines the local processing of a PLC with the superior communications of a remote terminal unit for an all-in-one high-performance unit. It allows seamless integration with multiple PLCs, RTUs and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). A powerful processor combined with versatile input/output modules allows this RTU to be used for the most demanding SCADA applications, including those in:
- Electric Utilities
- Oil & Gas
- Water & Waste-water
- Siren/PA
ACE3600 RTUs can be expanded with multiple, simultaneously operating communication ports in a range of industry protocols. The communication capability is specifically designed to support secure communications over diverse networks.
Remote Control and Monitoring Applications:
Water/Waste-Water
Improve distribution system or collection system operation, optimize treatment plants and realize chemical and energy savings.
Electric Power Distribution
Implement Distribution Automation systems by controlling load break switchgear, reclosers and other IEDs (intelligent electronic devices).at substations, pad or pole top locations.
Oil & Gas Pipelines
Monitor and control flow, pressure, cathodic voltage; perform emergency shutdowns, monitor remote exploration and storage sites.
Early Warning/Siren Control
Perform routine tests and remotely activate sirens for public annunciation of emergency conditions.
Communication Network Monitoring and Control
Perform remote monitoring of critical equipment such as power systems, environmental control systems, tower lights, etc.
Fire Station Alerting
Quickly dispatch fire equipment and resources with remote control of lights, sirens, voice public address systems, doors, etc.
Versatile Communications Options
Supports up to 5 ports, ACE3600 can simultaneously communicate over RS-232, RS-485, radio and IP, while using the same/different protocols.
- Analog conventional radios
- Analog or digital trunked systems

Data Security
ACE3600 supports encryption over wireless with downloadable keys.
Graphical User Interface
The System Tool Suite (STS) programming tool features user-friendly, menu-driven GUI that allows program development and local and remote system setup and maintenance.
Industry-Accepted Protocols
ACE3600 RTU supports multiple industry protocols such as Modbus, DF-1, DNP3.0, and IEC 60870-5-101 and allows direct connection of smart sensors, PLCs and IEDs.
Motorola Data Link Communication (MDLC) Protocol
MDLC protocol has robust error handling to provide reliable communication. It enables RTU-to-control-center and RTU unit-to-unit direct communications without a dedicated repeater.
MOSCAD Compatibility
With MDLC protocol, new ACE3600 RTUs can be easily integrated with existing MOSCAD family RTUs into a single system.
