Performance Problems Solved



Traditional RTUs lack the
processing speed and capacity to
handle control jobs requiring
extremely fast response, like those
performed by PLCs.
The ROC800-Series closes this
performance gap by using the
Motorola® PowerPC® (MPC862)
32-bit microprocessor as its
engine.
Not only is the MPC862 fast, but it
is designed for telecommunications
and networking giving it a real
edge over most PLCs.

The ROC800-Series uses
a real-time, multi-tasking
operating system
designed specifically for
the kind of measurement
and control tasks
encountered in field
applications.
This operating system
has proven its robustness
in industrial control,
telecommunications and
avionics applications.

Performance Problems Solved

The high power consumption of
PLCs often limits their use to
factory applications. Low power
consumption for remote operation
was a key design goal of the
ROC800-Series.

In addition to using low-power
components, extensive use is
made of the "sleep" modes
provided by the CPU.

Sleep modes shut down
operations when they are not
needed, such as certain software
tasks, and they control power to
devices such as LEDs.

I/O Problems Solved


Interfacing to end devices
can be the weakest link in
a measurement and control
system. Problems related
to grounding, wiring errors,
electrical noise, and
transients are
commonplace.
The ROC800-Series solves
many of these problems
because we’ve designed its
I/O and communications
modules with accuracy,
ruggedness and
survivability in mind.

I/O Problems Solved


Plug-in I/O modules make
extensive use of optical
(electrical) isolation, transient
suppression, and current
limiting to improve reliability
and virtually eliminate failures
related to power, grounding
and wiring errors.
I/O modules are isolated from
the backplane to minimize
cross-card failures. The
benefits of this protection are
less downtime, fewer trips to
the field for repairs, and
reduced spares inventory.

Modern automation
systems place increasingly
greater demands on the
communications
capabilities of field
equipment.
We designed the ROC800Series to blend into almost
any system environment by


With the Ethernet capability of
the ROC800-Series, you can
effectively extend your
company’s local area network
(LAN) to the field. You get
more data at a lower cost
than with conventional
communications methods.
When coupled with our
DS800 Development Suite,
Ethernet makes it possible to
network ROC800s, giving you
tremendous I/O and control
capabilities for large
applications.

In addition to an Ethernet
port, the ROC800-Series has
two built-in EIA-232 (RS-232)
ports, one typically used for
communications to a PCbased local operator
interface, and one for
communication to other
devices.
Three additional ports can be
added using plug-in

An outstanding feature of
the ROC800-Series is its
Spontaneous Report-byException (SRBX) Data
Transmission capability.
A host computer can poll
the ROC800-Series at a
user-specified time interval,
or the unit can initiate a
transmission when certain
alarm conditions occur.
SRBX can greatly reduce
communication system
loading and related costs.


The problem with many RTUs, PLCs
and flow computers is their inability to
meet a wide range of applications
common to field installations.
The ROC800-Series addresses this
problem with a comprehensive
applications package that supports a
wide range of metering and control
needs.
The package builds upon the
outstanding features proven in tens
of thousands of ROC300 series
installations worldwide.

The power of the
ROC800-Series is
demonstrated by the
number of processes
that it can handle
simultaneously with a
small amount of I/O.
For example, 12 Meter
Runs and 16 Control
Loops can be managed
by the ROC800-Series
using only two multivariable sensor ports
and 16 analog outputs.
