SITRANS RD500 Application
The RD500 is an easy-to-use remote data management solution, using a web-based
application and optional I/O modules. The unique modular approach allows a variety of
process signals to be monitored, while the serial ports allow data to be collected from
any Modbus RTU device using only a PC with a web browser and an Ethernet or serial
modem (such as GSM/GPRS or PSTN) connection.
Using simple menus, on-screen buttons, and drop-down lists, you can easily access any
monitored instrument. The straightforward, consistent interface makes operation of
SITRANS RD500 fast and convenient. As well, the configuration of the modules is easy
and automatic, with no manual configuration required.
This section provides information for complete SITRANS RD500 site management,
including configuration, access, and navigation. See hardware module operating
instructions for details on setup of modules (www.siemens.com/RD500).
