QuickPanel RTU Solution
Think globally, act locally
QuickPanel RTU is a powerful solution that can integrate with existing PLC hardware locally and other RTU throughout the system—seamlessly delivering connectivity across your operations. Its open communications makes it ideal for mixed system architectures, as you can connect a QuickPanel RTU directly to your existing PLC to upgrade legacy PLCs and RTUs to Ethernet communications with store and forward capabilities.
QuickPanel RTU can range from simple, low I/O count applications through complex automation solutions that require the support of large numbers of I/O. It provides an information-rich, graphical interface and has the inherent benefits of providing a smaller footprint, centralized time synchronization, local alarm time stamping, full IEC 61131-3 language support, and remote diagnostics and maintenance via a web hosting client.
You can deploy QuickPanel RTU in just a few easy steps:
Step 1: Select an I/O system
GE Intelligent Platforms offers a multitude of options when connecting to field equipment, including our VersaMax, 90-30 and Genius I/O systems. The QuickPanel RTU also supports connectivity to popular fieldbuses PROFIBUS and DeviceNet as well as third-party controllers.
