Wireless Remote Telemetry Unit

Wireless Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU)!

Do you want to control relays, read the digital status of sensors or the analog level of tanks, pressures etc remotely over a wireless link.


The KTA-235, KTA-236 and KTA-237 are an ASCII based easy to use Remote Telemetry Unit or RTU. It is designed to be used with a PC or PLC, where the PC or PLC can remotely control and monitor the status of 6 Relays, 4 optically isolated inputs and 2 Analog inputs. The Analog inputs can also be set to behave as dry contact or open collector digital inputs in cases where analog inputs are not required. Each unit is individually addressable, which means that multiple controllers can be used on the serial link, and the option of a serial modem means that units can be wirelessly controlled up to 1000m from the host.

The RTU comes in 3 forms
KTA-235 communicates via an RS232 serial connection. This connection can be multidropped using a combination of diodes and resistors

KTA-236
using a UM96 (9600 baud) wireless modem card. A distance of 500m or 1000m can be achieved via direct line of sight.

KTA-237 using a UM12 (1200 baud) wireless modem card. A distance of 500m or 1000m can be achieved via direct line of sight.

The wireless modems operate in the licence free 433MHz band.

How does it work?
A PC or PLC or Microcontroller issues serial commands to a KTA-233 or KTA-234 wireless modem. The wireless modem then transmits the commands via radio to the RTU's. The RTU with an address matching the command then responds to the command. The other RTU's ignore the command.

The ASCII commands the RTU uses are in the form @AA CC X<CR> where the @ symbol is used to
define the start of a command, AA is the address of the unit from 00 to 99, CC is a two letter
command used to determine the command type and the X is a one or more characters which
determines the parameter for the command. <CR> is the carriage return character and has a value of
13.
Each time a valid command is received the unit will respond with #AA followed by any values that are
requested from the unit.

Letter Command Parameters
ON - Turn Relay On 1-6, a value of 0 Turns All Relays On at Once
OF - Turn Relay Off 1-6, a value of 0 Turns All Relays Off at Once
WR - Write to all Relays at once The parameter is a number which determines which of the
relays should be turned on or off.
RS - Status of Relays 1-6. A value of 0 Returns the Status of All Relays
IS  - Status of Inputs 1-6 A value of 0 Returns Status of All Inputs
AI - Read Analog Input 1-2 scaled between 0-1000
SA Set Address 01-99 Sets the Address of the RTU in Memory
SB Set Baud Rate 1-12 Sets the Baud Rate (See section on Communications)
SP Set Parity 0-3 Sets Parity (See section on Communications)
