Features
Minimize Server Costs with Edge Computing
Even when data is collected at very high speeds on-site, performing computations on the on-site RTU and sending only the critical information to the server can minimize data processing costs on the server. After acquiring data at 1-second resolution, calculate and transmit only the information needed for actual data analysis, such as averages, maximums, minimums, and variances. If raw data is needed later, it can be requested from the RTU. Edge computing minimizes both computing and storage costs on the server.
Manage Heterogeneous Equipment with a Single RTU
Various protocols exist for different equipment, making it challenging to connect them to a single RTU. iDERMS RTU supports common programming languages like C, Java, and node.js, enabling the implementation of various protocols. iDERMS RTU connects and operates various equipment, including solar inverters, ESS PCS, BMS, wind turbines, fuel cells, on-site weather sensors, and meters. With a single RTU, you can connect all equipment, simplifying inventory management and providing a unified method for managing issues such as communication failures.
Integrated Communication from Monitoring to Control
iDERMS RTU is not just a monitoring device. It enables both monitoring and control of on-site equipment without the need for additional industrial computers or servers. For power plant control commands, the RTU interprets and decomposes the commands for individual equipment control, minimizing unnecessary control actions. It supports the implementation of various on-site equipment protocols and provides custom programs for protocols requiring authentication processes for control.
Meets the Highest-Level Security Requirements
iDERMS RTU supports TLS 1.2/1.3 and certificate-based mutual authentication. If needed, it can use encryption modules specified by the customer to maintain a higher security level. It provides the highest level of security for private data, such as certificates and password, through hardware-based encryption modules, ensuring data safety even if the hardware or internal memory is detached. It operates in various enterprise security devices, including one-way communication devices, P-LTE, and VPN, and supports additional customization if needed.
Additional Services
Web-based Certificate Management System
Supports the build of a web service for certificate management. Certificates are issued using OpenSSL based on PKI standard technology and integrated with a web-based management system. Self-issuing certificates can reduce issuance costs and enhance security by imposing additional information within the certificates to prevent the use of copied certificates.Customer Platform and Protocol Integration
Modify RTU to connect with customer’s cloud or on-premise servers, supporting integration with AWS IoT Core as well as customer-specific protocols. If there are requirements for data preprocessing, iDERMS RTU can handle these processes before transmission. It supports not only simple statistics but also complex computations such as machine learning.Custom Hardware Modifications
Support hardware modifications based on customer requirements. Capable of adding I/O ports for additional sensors and configuring HMIs with LCD integration to meet various customer needs. Provide design modifications to integrate Google TPU for machine learning and custom wireless communication modules.
