Semaphore Introduces Upgrades to Kingfisher RTU Low Power Product Line
The updated low-power Semaphore Kingfisher LP-3. The LP-3 cost effectively opens up the world of high-tech communications and SCADA functionality to practically all remote locations.
NASHUA, NH--( March 12, 2009) - Semaphore, a CSE Global company, announces first shipments of updated, low-power Kingfisher SCADA system RTU products. The Kingfisher LP-2 and LP-3 are fully compatible with the LP-1 model, which they replace.
The LP-2 and LP-3 cost effectively open up the world of high-tech communications and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) functionality to practically all remote locations. The products suit a wide range of applications that include agriculture operations, environmental monitoring, gas metering, power metering and data logging. They're intelligent, easy-to-use, and feature ladder logic capability with very flexible I/O and communication ports. Very low power consumption is achieved using three modes -- communication, scanning and sleeping -- and makes solar power feasible.
Each RTU is packaged in a two-part, rugged plastic enclosure that houses the electronics and communication interfaces. The LP-3 adds an analog output and a second, network port option which supports cellular and PSTN modems and UHF radios.
LP-2 / LP-3 Low Power RTUs are compatible with the entire family of Kingfisher RTU products and are configured using the same Toolbox software. The LP-2 and LP-3 are further compatible with practically any other SCADA system through the use of a broad variety of communications protocols.
In addition to the LP-2 and LP-3, the contemporary Kingfisher product line includes the Kingfisher Plus and G30 RTU models as well as a full line of accessories and software tools for program development and support. The RTU products provide many advanced features for SCADA system solutions, including redundant configurations, intelligent I/O, and open programming that is compliant with IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499.
Kingfisher Plus is an advanced, modular RTU that offers expansion up to 1000 I/O points. The G30 is a compact RTU that extends the full capabilities of Semaphore's Kingfisher Plus+ product line to small SCADA system applications requiring up to 32 I/O points. Kingfisher RTU systems are well suited to large, demanding measurement and control applications.
Semaphore's RTU products are ideal for a broad range of remote monitoring and control applications in the broadcast/telecom, infrastructure management, oil & gas, power, transportation and water/wastewater industries.
