  • Remote terminal unit (RTU) with universal input/output (UIO) and related method
    Patent number: 10248601
    Abstract: A system includes at least one industrial control and automation field device and a remote terminal unit (RTU). The RTU includes input/output (I/O) terminals configured to be coupled to the field devices. The RTU also includes one or more I/O modules having one or more reconfigurable I/O channels configured to be coupled to the I/O terminals. Each reconfigurable I/O channel is configurable as an analog input, an analog input supporting digital communication, an analog output, an analog output supporting digital communication, a digital input, a digital output, and a pulse accumulator input. The RTU further includes at least one processing device configured to control a configuration of each of the one or more reconfigurable I/O channels.
