Radius NM-CCU - A Central Control Unit for Remote Control

Easy Integration in Existing SCADA System
It is easy to integrate a Radius network concentrator to an existing SCADA system. The SCADA connection is achieved either via the RS232, Ethernet or the RS485 interfaces with a range of protocols. The NM-CCU can handle PRIP, RP570, Mk3, DSP4, Ferranti Mklll, IEC 870 and DNP3 protocols. It can also be connected via digital I/O cards between the SCADA system and NM-CCU. The NM-CCU can be connected to any existing SCADA system or Radius can also offer their complete SCADA systems, Radius Uni-View or SCADA-Lite.

Easy I/O Expansion
If there is a need of extra local control and supervision, the network concentrator can be equipped with local I/O`s.

Automatic Fault Restoration
Often when a situation occurs in the distribution network, it is not always possible for the SCADA control engineers to react in time. Radius has developed logic routines in the NM-CCU to allow an automated response to changes in the network. This means that vital customer minutes are not lost from the network and the impact of interruptions and outages are minmized. The level of automation is specified in close cooperation with the customer.

Distributed Control
Radius' SCADA concentrators also allow for manual control of the switchgear they control. This allows an engineer to take supervisory control away from the Network Managing System control engineers and take control of the switchgear from wherever the NM-CCU is located. This is another vital tool in helping the utilities industry to provide the highest quality of service to their customers.
