PLC vendors target RTU Products

RTU, as a remote logical control unit after PLC, has been gradually recognized by the industry with its outstanding performance in wide area applications, at the same time, it has also attracted a group of prospective and strategic automation manufacturers to carry out professional R & D and manufacturing. Currently, the mainstream RTU manufacturers are mainly foreign brands. Some scholars have said that domestic RTU manufacturers compared with foreign RTU manufacturers: some controllers manufacturers in China are more of a special product that provides a remote control solution for this project to meet the needs of a project, this simple control product is not in line with the development direction of RTU products, and is not conducive to the development of industrialization. However, because of its product features, some manufacturers only need specific functions and a single controller, RTU products developed in China, especially RTU products developed by PLC manufacturers, also have certain market requirements due to the common technology.

In addition to some similar functions of PLC, RTU is more oriented to some industry-specific technologies and has some industry-specific functions. RTU is slightly better than PLC. RTU is mainly used to set the field application environment and has more requirements on the environment than the PLC series. In terms of memory space and ancillary functions, RTU is superior to PLC. If the on-site environment is better, PLC is more economical. If the on-site environment is worse, for example, RTU is more suitable for the monitoring of irrigation districts, natural gas pipelines, oil and gas wells, municipal pipe networks, and many other outdoor environmental factors in the petroleum industry. In summary, the two types of products have their own characteristics and different application scopes.

With the development of national infrastructure towards information and intelligence, many places that did not use RTU are gradually used, such as the automatic meter reading system, the civil gas meter reading system, and the farmland water conservancy monitoring system, intelligent oilfield systems and other fields, so the market share is growing rapidly.
