Flex Range of Remote Terminal Unit Solutions

The Flex RTU is a cost-effective integrated control and communication unit, designed for control and monitoring of Industrial applications in Real-time.

With its intuitive keyboard and display, it is very easy to configure in the field, making it a flexible interface device to a whole range of applications.

This Remote Terminal Unit, comes with an extensively configurable interface options that include, Gigabit Ethernet, RS232/RS485, Digital Inputs and Outputs, Analog Inputs and Outputs, Wifi, 4G and USB, making it a multi-purpose solution, with a processor that is fast enough to run many kinds of customer specific applications.

Our Flex RTU products provide PLC remote access for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. You can easily download PLC programs, access your HMI, and even trigger notifications when something goes wrong. With our products supporting Digital Outputs, some level of remote control is also achievable, making the Flex RTU a truly versatile communication interface device.

Compliance to 61850 standards makes it suitable for power generation and distribution applications, while the CE and FCC certifications make it ideal for most Industrial applications.
