Transparent Industrial Linux
The Linux inside these RTUs will remain completely transparent to most users, who will simply benefit from its powerful standard features. This "transparent Linux" hides inside the RTU giving you peace of mind in knowing that a special I/O driver or Linux application program can be added to meet future requirements.

Feature-Rich Capabilities are ready to use - right out of the box
SIXNET RTUs combine PLC, datalogger, industrial computer and Internet/Ethernet/Wireless connectivity into a single powerful hybrid system. Many of these advanced capabilities are built right into the industrial firmware and can be used right out of the box without the need for any programming. The powerful SIXNET I/O Tool Kit configuration software makes this all possible.

Modern Technology meets those tough new requirements
SIXNET RTUs utilize the latest technology. On the outside you find the powerful PowerPC processor, tons of modern Flash memory (Megabytes, not just kilobytes!) and state-of-the-art surface-mount electronics. On the inside you find open-source Linux with the latest software features such Internet connectivity (IP security, PPP, SNMP and much more), advanced datalogging, and powerful programming (IEC61131 and C/C++).

Unlimited Flexibility to satisfy just about any requirement
SIXNET RTUs come loaded with a wide selection of industrial features that are ready to use right out of the box, or you can customize them with your own IEC61131, C/C++ or 3rd-party application programs. They can just as easily handle the simplest projects to the most demanding.

Limitless Expandability allows your systems to grow gracefully
SIXNET RTUs are planed technology that combine data acquisition, industrial control and real-time communications into a long-term open architecture strategy. Start with just a few I/O points and your basic RTU functionality and easily grow to thousands of I/O with the most advanced control and communications. There is practically no limit to how far you can go - from a single remote station to a full-featured global system.

Powerful Communications interface your system to the world
From redundant Ethernet ports to multiple serial ports, SIXNET RTUs can interface to just about anything. They support all popular connections such as Internet, wireless, radio and telephone. Out of the box they support open protocols such as Modbus, FTP, SNMP and PPP. In addition, other and custom protocols can be easily added to the open-source Linux firmware.

Rugged Industrial Ratings guarantee that your systems will perform
SIXNET RTUs have been rated and proven to perform in some of the toughest industrial environments. They are listed for Class 1, Div. 2 (Zone 2) hazardous locations, certified for marine and offshore applications (DNV) and rated UL/CSA/CE. They also carry an industry leading standard temperature rating of -40 to 70 °C.
