Mikrodev RTU DM100

Compact and low cost to meet the diverse yet increasing requirements in telecontrol, we have developed durable telecontrol systems of the highest quality. We continuously optimise these in close coordination with our customers – the result is top products like our compact controller MikroDev DM-100 series. This micro remote terminal unit originates from our  product family and is distinguished by high performance, functionality and durability.

Mikrodev DM100 series is a line of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) specifically designed for Smart Electrical Devices in the electricity sector, such as protection relays, reclosers, energy and quality analyzers, and more. These devices are equipped to communicate and control through industry-standard protocols like IEC 61850, MODBUS TCP, and MODBUS RTU. Additionally, they can establish communication with SCADA or control center software using IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, and MODBUS TCP protocols. Mikrodev’s RTU products provide ease, flexibility, and swift programming capabilities, offering I/O options that can expand up to 512 points, making them a preferred choice for electrical energy applications.

In the programming of Mikrodev DM100 series RTUs, the Function Block Diagram (FBD) language, as defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard, is employed. The FBD language facilitates the development of applications through a user-friendly drag-and-drop approach, offering substantial flexibility to effectively utilize Mikrodev’s RTU products.

Within the DM100 series of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Mikrodev offers two divergent products: “DM100-E1N-GC0-B1000” and “DM100-E2N-GC3-B1000.” The former features 1 ETH, 1 RS232, and 2 RS485 communication ports, while the latter comes with 2 ETH and 2 RS485 ports.

Furthermore, the DM100 series encompasses a range of features applicable to various fields. We can list the usage areas and specifications of these applications as follows:

Building Automation: DM100 series RTU products are ideal for building automation, including HVAC systems library and time-based applications, enabling efficient control over systems like heating, ventilation, and climate within the building.
