  SCADA Primer - RTU's
The SCADA RTU is a (hopefully) small ruggedised computer which provides intelligence in the field, and allows the central SCADA master to communicate with the field instruments.
When polled by the SCADA master, the RTU must respond to the request, which may be as simple as "give me all your data", to a complex control function to be executed.
RTU's have always been used in situations where the communications are more difficult, and the RTU's strength was its ability to handle difficult communications.

 RTU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes an RTU or Programmable logic controller (PLC) has integral interfaces used to allow the deployment of only a RTU (without a bus and interface modules) to monitor or control just a few devices.
Modern RTUs are usually capable of executing simple programs autonomously without involving the host computers of the DCS or SCADA system to simplify deployment, and to provide redundancy for safety reasons.
A RTU in a modern water management system will typically have code to modify its behavior when physical override switches on the RTU are toggled during maintenance by maintenance personnel.

 RTU vs PLCs
This kind of RTU has very little computing power and is specified for use in installations like water and wastewater automation.
These RTUs actually have the intelligence needed to control a process (or multiple processes) without intervention from a more intelligent controller or master.
Tetragenics RTUs offer SCADA capabilities and features that lesser RTUs cannot begin to offer, such as interrupt driven digital inputs, time stamped sequence of events, data logging, intelligent communications, multitasking sequential control, PID control, alarm logging, modular construction, easy programming; well, the list just goes on and on.

 Integrated Automation Solutions - IAS - Remote Terminal Unit - RTU
The RTU constantly sends information to the central processing unit where it is stored and retrieved for end user evaluation.
An RTU is typically proprietary; in other words, RTU’s are normally sold using technology that can only be maintained by the developer making it very difficult and oftentimes impossible for the purchaser to make changes or perform maintenance to the system.
In the past, RTU manufacturers not only developed the hardware but were the only vendors through which customers could purchase more parts; the customer would own the technology, but could not alter it.

 ProtoCessor - RTU Protocol Overview
Modbus RTU is an open, serial (RS-232 or RS-485) protocol based on master/slave or client/server architecture.
The simplicity of Modbus RTU messages is a mixed blessing; on the one hand, the simple message structure ensures widespread, rapid and accurate implementation, but on the other hand, various companies have corrupted the basic 16-bit Modbus RTU register structure to pack in floating point, queues, ASCII text, tables and other types of non-Modbus data.
Modbus RTU can also be multi-dropped, or in other words, multiple slave devices can exist on one Modbus RTU network, assuming that the physical layer allows this, usually via the use of RS-485, modems or radio.

 What is RTU? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In SCADA systems, an RTU is a device installed at a remote location that collects data, codes the data into a format that is transmittable and transmits the data back to a central station, or master.
An RTU also collects information from the master device and implements processes that are directed by the master.
RTUs are equipped with input channels for sensing or metering, output channels for control, indication or alarms and a communications port.

 SCADA RTU Software made easy:
Special RTU protocols are tailored to rapid and efficient RTU communications in SCADA systems.
They differ from point to point protocols in that all the information from the RTU, including the RTU I/O configuration field, is delivered in a single block in response to a single poll.
Using these protocols to communicate to RTUs with multiple analog, counter and digital I/Os results in excessive polling as each point kind in each RTU needs a separate polling message and a separate answer.
