QuickPanelRTU

Information you can act on

Managing large geographical areas is noth-

ing new to water utilities. From occasional

manually collected data to unreliable and

slow communications, timely remote data

always seems just out of reach. Now, with

increasing pressure to improve operational

performance, growing regulatory require-

ments and increased energy costs, the

need to collect data seamlessly from both

local and remote data sources is a reality.

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms’ powerful

QuickPanel* Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU)

applied solution enables you to easily

monitor, diagnose and maintain your water

assets and processes through flexible com-

munication architectures. Access to timely

and accurate tracking of water chemistry

and chemical inventories with greater ef-

ficiency can eliminate critical gaps in your

water data and the need to deploy service

personnel, resulting in higher productivity.

Think globally, act locally

QuickPanel RTU is a bundled visualization

and control solution that provides the tools

required for today’s remote application

needs. A combination of bright touch-screen

displays and award-winning Proficy*

Machine Edition software, QuickPanel RTU

delivers flexible, scalable performance on

a rugged hardware platform.

Providing a visual interface for local opera-

tors allows site equipment to be operated

manually, mitigating the operational impact

of remote communication disruptions. The

integrated controller will keep automatic

equipment running through an outage.

Once communications are restored,

store-and-forward capabilities and local

time stamping of alarms ensure nothing

is missed, and alarms can be arranged as

they happened.

Improve the decision effectiveness of your

water system by seamlessly connecting remote

data and your plant operations.

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has been partnering with water operations all over the world to help them seamlessly integrate critical water data. With decades of water industry expertise and innovative technology solutions, we can position your operations for long-term success.

Reliable, scalable and open With an open and connected approach, QuickPanel RTU offers

flexible configuration to fit your unique requirements—providing

access to real-time information across your entire utility.

Efficient information delivery

Built on a Microsoft® Windows® CE operating

system, QuickPanel RTU offers enhanced

data buffering and built-in web publishing

capabilities to effectively link your manufac-

turing operations to your business systems.

Key personnel—from operators to manag-

ers—can access accurate, comprehensive

and integrated information when and where

they need it.

Infinite scalability

As your information requirements expand,

QuickPanel RTU is exceedingly scalable to

grow with your needs. It includes a broad

range of display sizes from 6" to 15"; choice

of Monochrome or Color-TFT display;

expandable memory and communications

options; and easy configuration to run the

same program on different size models.

Seamless connectivity

Addressing your need to integrate exist-

ing and future applications from different

vendors and multiple architectures, Quick-

Panel RTU enables you to connect to a wide

variety of automation devices. With a large

number of built-in drivers, it can be flexibly

networked back to a centralized SCADA

system using phone line, radio, satellite and

cellular topology.

QuickPanel RTU can range from simple, low I/O count applications through complex

automation solutions that require the support of large numbers of I/O. It provides an

information-rich, graphical interface and has the inherent benefits of providing a smaller

footprint, centralized time synchronization, local alarm time stamping, full IEC 61131-3

language support, and remote diagnostics and maintenance via a web hosting client.

Leveraging the latest remote monitoring technology, QuickPanel

RTU can track and compare distri-bution flows with sales—offering a proven approach that enables utilities to significantly reduce their non-revenue water.

QUICKPANEL RTU

Ethernet

Simple configuration for rapid time to solutionBuilt for open communications, QuickPanel RTU can connect

with most any utility operations device. With built-in drivers,

it is simple, quick and always open.

You can deploy QuickPanel RTU in just a few easy steps:

Step 1 Select an I/O system

QuickPanel RTU supports all of GE Fanuc’s

I/O systems as well as open fieldbuses and

third-party controllers, including Rockwell,

Siemens and Group Schneider.

Step 2 Select a QuickPanel

You can choose the display size and type

that best fits your needs, as we offer

user-friendly units ranging from 6 inches

to 15 inches and Monochrome, or

Color-TFT options.

Step 3 Select the connectivity device

QuickPanel RTU supports any Ethernet-

based connectivity scheme, including MESH

Radio, local wireless, serial, cellular and

satellite communications. It is also product

agnostic—enabling you to connect to third-

party equipment.

Step 4 Select your SCADA software

Supporting communications to all new and

legacy RTU hardware solutions, Proficy iFIX

and Proficy CIMPLICITY—both industry-lead-

ing HMI/SCADA software solutions—enable

you to share real-time information through-

out your operations.
