Hi,
I am working on a project as a tendering engineer, The primary aim of this project is to deploy RTUs in four valve rooms spread along a 50km Pipeline. These RTUs will be responsible for gathering essential data and transmitting it to the existing Foxboro DCS at CCR.
Proposed RTU: We are proposing M580-safety to meet the customer's requirement for a SIL 2 RTU.
Communication Infrastructure:
- Primary: A VSAT terminal will be installed in each valve room and at CCR.
- Secondary (backup): Wi-Max
- Communication Protocol: Modbus TCP
Below you may find the proposed system architecture.
I kindly request your input, as well as any recommendations or potential obstacles you foresee with this proposed solution.
Also, will Modbus be sufficient or we should rely on DNP3?
Thank you for your kind support,
