RAM™ 6000 Cellular RTU

Secure Remote Monitoring & Control

Sixnet's RAM™ 6000 industrial cellular RTUs provide a flexible, secure platform to remotely monitor and control assets across industries that include oil & gas, power & energy and water/wastewater. RAM 6000 uses a built-in Modbus gateway to seamlessly interface with existing RTUs and PLCs, thereby providing real-time access to data from pumps, valves, reclosers, transformer capacitor banks and meters. An I/O concentrator enables users to locally collect sensor data to optimize bandwidth by reducing polling cycles.

 

With a single web-based user interface, RAM 6000 simplifies I/O, network and security configuration to reduce the cost and complexity of deploying, managing and configuring multiple devices at remote locations. Furthermore, an integrated security firewall provides intrusion protection and secure data access while an on-board Software Development Kit (SDK) enables users to optimize custom applications. Working in conjunction with SixView Manager remote monitoring and control software, RAM 6000 provides low-cost, real-time access to remote sites.
