Hadron Xtorm Series
Hadron Xtorm Series is the state-of-the-art solution regarding the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs).
The series presents an ideal set of high performance features, ease of use, accurate and complete
diagnostics, modern and robust design, as well as several innovative features. Hadron Xtorm features
an intelligent and versatile architecture, offering modularity in inputs/outputs points (I/O),
redundancy options, high-speed communication protocols such as IEC 61850, and logic
implementation in accordance with IEC 61131- 3 standard. As a result, it is an ideal RTU for all
supervisory applications and control of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity
systems such as hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) and power substations.
Hadron Xtorm Series holds an advanced technology on its bus. Due to a high-speed Ethernet
interface it enables the sharing of inputs/outputs and data information within multiple controllers in
the same system. The system can be easily divided and distributed throughout the field, enabling the
use of expansion racks providing the same performance as local module. Therefore, all types of
modules can be used both on the local rack and on its expansions without restrictions. In order to
interconnect the rack expansions the user may use a simple Ethernet cable.
