RTTDS™ Transmission/Distribution SCADA
Support multiple front-end processors (FEPs), servers, and operator workstations in your control center with our highly scalable system. Our distributed client/server SCADA solution includes a powerful historian, voice synthesis, areas of responsibility, and other advanced functions that streamline control center management.
Product Features
- Distributed client/server architecture
Core programs are located on one or more servers, while users access the system from multiple remote or local workstations. Because of its distributed architecture, the platform can be easily scaled as system requirements grow. - Multiple communication FEPs
The system supports multiple communication front-end processors (FEPs) located in a control center or other site. Support for both serial and TCP/IP communication channels is provided. - Multiple operators
Operators can work on multiple workstations simultaneously, with full support for areas of responsibility. -
Redundant server cluster
RTTDS software can be run on two servers simultaneously to provide continuous system availability and protection from hardware failures. -
Advanced historian
A historical data subsystem records real-time data, including millisecond time tags. Users can create graphs of historical data, review it via a flexible playback system, or export it to spreadsheets. - Voice synthesis
Operators hear voice confirmation of system commands, resulting in fewer operator errors. - High-level security
Authentication and authorization features assure that only those users permitted by the system administrator may access the system. Encryption prevents interception of logon and authorization codes, and time encoding prevents unauthorized replay of network data. - Advanced functions
Additional functions include automatic alarm inhibit, customizable alarm sounds, and an integrated display editor.
RTTDS software runs on standard, Windows*-based servers or hardened systems available from many manufacturers. It is a member of the RTscada™ family of products, which interoperate to power the Smart Grid—from field device to substation to control center—and integrate seamlessly with all enterprise systems.
