The SAGE RTU Range

SAGE RTUs — Introduction

A variety of SAGE RTU models allow you to choose the right solution for your application.  You can deploy the hardware that meets the requirements of each installation. Important distinctions such as physical size, physical I/O quantities, and communications port medium allow you to choose the RTU meeting each application’s requirements — no more and no less.​ Each SAGE RTU provides the same browser-based user interface for easy configuration and setup. Each offers IED integration, NERC CIP security, IEC 61131-based logic functions, communications protocols, and a custom applications library.​  Each RTU uses the same CPU, firmware, and configuration files, which simplifies spare parts stocking and engineering effort, saving time and money.

Schneider Electric has many years of experience offering custom designed retrofit solutions that provide improved functionality over obsolete RTUs while minimizing the field installation and commissioning time required for the change out of equipment. Each retrofit RTU is specifically designed to make use of as much of the existing equipment as possible. Special interface cards are delivered to connect to the existing termination boards. Terminations are left in place, eliminating the need for field personnel to buzz-out field wiring.  Retrofits for Westinghouse Redac, GE GEtac, CDC 44-500, CDC 44-550, Harris 5000, L&G 8000/9000, and Tasnet are already available [1]
