TBox Family – RTU, PLC, Telemetry, Datalogging, SCADA

Features and Benefits

Where can TBox be used?

The ruggedness of the TBox hardware makes it ideal for applications in demanding environments for industries such as agriculture, broadcast, telecommunications, energy, irrigation, mobile asset management, oil and gas, smart grid, transportation, vendor-managed inventory and water and wastewater.

The benefits of TBox

TBox enables the complete integration of SCADA, telemetry and control functionality in a single package. Compatibility with an array of discrete and intelligent devices, combined with advanced telemetry and web capabilities, simplifies systems engineering and reduces installation costs by up to 50%.

What can TBox do?

• Internet compatibility

All TBox products manage online communications without the need for a front-end device. TBOX – Twinsoft and TConnect software tools simplify configuration of online data and communications messaging. No complex programming is required.

• Email

  At a specific time or following a change of state activity, a TBox RTU can automatically send messages to multiple recipients with attachments such as complete reports with live and historical information, alarms and event notifications. Unlike similar products, TBox formats and maintains reports, which are mobile friendly for viewing on the move.

• SMS

  Like email, SMS messages can be transmitted to multiple recipients at a scheduled time or following an event.

• SCADA compatibility

  Feature-rich TBox products can be dropped into traditional exisitng SCADA systems, which use a variety of protocols including DNP 3.0, IEC 60870-5 and Modbus.

• Multi-communications

  Incredibly flexible, TBox products interface with Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, GSM/cellular network, PSTN modem and more. Each port operates independently of each other, uses any protocol, and can be set as master or slave.

• Programmable control

  Ovarro’s programming and dynamic analytical tools and libraries significantly reduce development time even for complex multitasking automation requirements.

•  Alarm management

  TBox RTUs use push communications to send multimedia messages, to defined groups and devices using escalation and shift management protocols. Actions taken are recorded on the TBox’s local memory.

• Datalogging

  Each TBox has enough memory to securely record years of time stamped, encrypted data plus removable high-capacity memory cards provide additional flexibility.

• Intelligent end device compatibility

  The TBox seamlessly interfaces with a host of devices such as access control, analysers, barcode readers, chromatographs, flow meters, and smart transmitters to create a truly multi-functional system.
