QuickPanel RTU GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms Information you can act on Improve the decision effectiveness of your water system by seamlessly connecting remote data and your plant operations. Managing large geographical areas is nothing new to water utilities. From occasional manually collected data to unreliable and slow communications, timely remote data always seems just out of reach. Now, with increasing pressure to improve operational performance, growing regulatory requirements and increased energy costs, the need to collect data seamlessly from both local and remote data sources is a reality. Think globally, act locally GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms’ powerful QuickPanel* Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) applied solution enables you to easily monitor, diagnose and maintain your water assets and processes through flexible communication architectures. Access to timely and accurate tracking of water chemistry and chemical inventories with greater efficiency can eliminate critical gaps in your water data and the need to deploy service personnel, resulting in higher productivity. Providing a visual interface for local operators allows site equipment to be operated manually, mitigating the operational impact of remote communication disruptions. The integrated controller will keep automatic equipment running through an outage. QuickPanel RTU is a bundled visualization and control solution that provides the tools required for today’s remote application needs. A combination of bright touch-screen displays and award-winning Proficy* Machine Edition software, QuickPanel RTU delivers flexible, scalable performance on a rugged hardware platform. Once communications are restored, store-and-forward capabilities and local time stamping of alarms ensure nothing is missed, and alarms can be arranged as they happened. GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has been partnering with water operations all over the world to help them seamlessly integrate critical water data. With decades of water industry expertise and innovative technology solutions, we can position your operations for long-term success. Reliable, scalable and open With an open and connected approach, QuickPanel RTU offers flexible configuration to fit your unique requirements—providing access to real-time information across your entire utility. QuickPanel RTU can range from simple, low I/O count applications through complex automation solutions that require the support of large numbers of I/O. It provides an information-rich, graphical interface and has the inherent benefits of providing a smaller footprint, centralized time synchronization, local alarm time stamping, full IEC 61131-3 language support, and remote diagnostics and maintenance via a web hosting client. Efficient information delivery Seamless connectivity Built on a Microsoft® Windows® CE operating system, QuickPanel RTU offers enhanced data buffering and built-in web publishing capabilities to effectively link your manufacturing operations to your business systems. Key personnel—from operators to managers—can access accurate, comprehensive and integrated information when and where they need it. Addressing your need to integrate existing and future applications from different vendors and multiple architectures, QuickPanel RTU enables you to connect to a wide variety of automation devices. With a large number of built-in drivers, it can be flexibly networked back to a centralized SCADA system using phone line, radio, satellite and cellular topology. Leveraging the latest remote monitoring technology, QuickPanel RTU can track and compare distribution flows with sales—offering a proven approach that enables utilities to significantly reduce their non-revenue water. Infinite scalability As your information requirements expand, QuickPanel RTU is exceedingly scalable to grow with your needs. It includes a broad range of display sizes from 6" to 15"; choice of Monochrome or Color-TFT display; expandable memory and communications options; and easy configuration to run the same program on different size models. QUICKPANEL RTU Simple configuration for rapid time to solution Built for open communications, QuickPanel RTU can connect with most any utility operations device. With built-in drivers, it is simple, quick and always open. You can deploy QuickPanel RTU in just a few easy steps: Step 1 Select an I/O system QuickPanel RTU supports all of GE Fanuc’s I/O systems as well as open fieldbuses and third-party controllers, including Rockwell, Siemens and Group Schneider. Step 2 Select a QuickPanel You can choose the display size and type that best fits your needs, as we offer user-friendly units ranging from 6 inches to 15 inches and Monochrome, or Color-TFT options. Supporting communications to all new and legacy RTU hardware solutions, Proficy iFIX and Proficy CIMPLICITY—both industry-leading HMI/SCADA software solutions—enable you to share real-time information throughout your operations. Step 3 Select the connectivity device QuickPanel RTU supports any Ethernetbased connectivity scheme, including MESH Radio, local wireless, serial, cellular and satellite communications. It is also product agnostic—enabling you to connect to thirdparty equipment. Open communications QuickPanel RTU is a powerful solution that can integrate with existing PLC hardware locally and other RTU throughout the system—seamlessly delivering connectivity across your operations. Its open communications makes it ideal for mixed system architectures, as you can connect a QuickPanel RTU directly to your existing PLC to upgrade legacy PLCs and RTUs to Ethernet communications with store and forward capabilities.
