DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
The ACE3600 is a programmable Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). Almost any automation task
can be implemented with a suitable choice of ACE3600 components. Typically the RTU
monitors and controls local equipment and communicates with a control center and with other
RTUs in the system. The ACE3600 is the newest Motorola SCADA (MOSCAD) RTU, a
member of MOSCAD family of RTUs and Control Center Front End Processors.
The ACE3600 System Tools Suite (STS) can be run on a local or remote PC to perform all the
setup, programming and monitoring operations such as RTU configuration,
system/application, download, monitoring, etc.
