TOMORROW'S TELECONTROL SYSTEM - TODAY!

, SCADA RTU is provided by Techno Trade that is a leading telemetry solutions developer in the world.

 The TBox Concept 

TBox is a sophisticated RTU system designed to integrate both the philosophy of the PLC and the flexibility of Telecontrol products. In a single piece of equipment, you will find an Internet compatible Telemetry system, a multi-communication platform, a powerful PLC, an alarm teletransmitter, an intelligent Datalogger and a protocol converter.

• 1) Powerfull PLC

 By using a simple and interactive programming language (Ladder), you can construct powerful automated applications. Based upon our pre-set function libraries (PID regulation, mathematical functions, comparison, leading edge detection, timer, counter...), TBox and the TWinSOFT software offer you all the tools (compiler, debugger, decompiler, simulator...) to quickly set up your application. Linked with telecommunication functions, the TBox permits queries regarding remote maintenance and diagnostics.

• 2) Internet Compatible

The first Telemetry system on the market with full Internet compatibility !

Yes, supports TCP/IP protocol (which is the foundation of Internet). This includes features such as :

1. can do alarm notification and send statistical reports by E-Mail.Complex statistical reports can be automatically generated and send at specific time interval to various e-mail addresses. Furthermore, historical database can be send as attached files, to be exported to standard spreadsheet or database software.

2. Users can connect to their using their Internet browser. (no more new monitoring or SCADA software to learn !) They can browse through the standard AND custom HTML dynamic pages. A simple way to control your outstation with a standard software: no more expensive SCADA packages to buy...!

3. FTP management. As has embedded Internet, it can also make use of WEB portals: automatic updates of HTML "pictures" of your outstations can be send to dedicated WEB server.More info click.

• 3) Intelligent Datalogger (Data Logging)

Due to its large storage capacity, the TBox can intelligently record and time stamp a very large amount of data. More than 100,000 time-stamped records can be logged according to several criteria (status changes, periodical sampling with detection of minimum, maximum or mean value) to achieve an optimal filing.

All this information may be reviewed or retreived using a standard SCADA if equiped with a specific driver 

• 4) Multi-Communication Platform

Up to seven independent communication ports are available, without interfering with the local automation:

• Two RS232 ports are usually reserved for local control (SCADA, printer, display...). They also permit remote communication by using external modems, fiber optic interface or other means.

• One RS485 port allows local networking with other or ModBus compatible devices

• Its several internal modems open  to the telephone network and all of its available services

• 5) Protocol Interface

For more specific applications, TWinSoft puts the power of the C-language at your disposal, to create tailor-made communication drivers. Interfaces with any other non ModBus/JBus equipment can be programmed easily.

This interface also extends the impressive functionality of the by supporting all complex mathematical functions.

Among available drivers, you'll find products and protocols such as Siemens (PLC series S5 / S7), ABB, Krohne, IEC870-5, ModBus ASCII et RTU, Telegyr, Cerberus, TTG, Grasso, Ernitec, Fisher & Porter, TCP/IP, etc...

• 6) Alarming System

Using simple alarm definitions, you can receive an alert whenever an alarm occurs.

TBox adapts itself to your standards (alphanumeric or numeric "Pager" system, information or telematic systems, printer...), to your schedule, due to its integrated standby function, and to your language (definable messages).

The TBox files the events and enables you to read them locally or remotely (terminal, Minitel, supervision...)

TWinSoft: the programming tool

The TWinSoft software tool, user-friendly and intuitive, gets the most out of the different functions of the TBox. You will be able to create and save the different configurations for your TBox systems and then download them locally or remotely (for example through the telephone network).

With TWinSoft you will be able :

• To define: your stations(Inputs/Outputs,communications) your alarms (type, messages, calendar) the information and to select its criterion's for filing your interface screens for the operator terminals (Minitel, TBox Terminal)

• To Create, modify and quickly debug your automation program presented in the form of a IEC61131-3 (Ladder) diagram .

• To Analyze locally or remotely (by telephone line), the status of your stations :

- to list the alarms that have appeared and their status.

- to list the contents of the different archives.

- to diagnose the status of the automation.

• To Update (directly and without hardware manipulation) the software versions of the your various stations
