What is remote terminal unit and where it is used

Question

Accepted Answer

A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a device used to collect data from sensors and equipment in remote locations and transmit it to a central monitoring system.

RTUs are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and electricity distribution.
They are often installed in remote locations where human access is limited or unsafe.
RTUs can monitor and control various parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and voltage.
They typically communicate with a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to provide real-time data for monitoring and decision-making.
Examples of RTU manufacturers include Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Honeywell.
