The RTCU Platform

Top  Next

The RTCU platform consists of a powerful programming environment and a broad range of RTCU devices, which offers the possibility of both digital- and analog I/O combined with wireless technologies such as Cellular, Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS. It is through these combinations that it becomes possible to solve many different tracking-, control-, regulation- and surveillance-applications.

 

With the RTCU platform, all necessary functions are combined in only one product, which is very easy to program in the text-based programming language "VPL". This combination opens the door to a wide array of efficient custom-tailored solutions today, and yet the same product is also able to solve tomorrow's challenges just through simple modifications to the program.

 

It is not necessary, however, to buy expensive customised adjustments of the product, because it is very easy to learn how to write a program that solves a specific problem on a standard PC by using the supplied development environment called RTCU IDE.

 

One of the major applications of the RTCU platform is remote surveillance thanks to its built-in cellular module. This module makes it possible to construct low-priced autonomous systems, which will be able to control and/or supervise different processes on distant localities without access to the wire-based telephone lines (PSTN). The system can be implemented in such a way that during normal conditions, it is able to manage control and surveillance all by itself. If an alarm should occur, the system is able to deliver an SMS-message, send a notification over a TCP/IP network, send a voice-message or send an e-mail to a predefined receiver.

 

The RTCU platform supports many IP based protocols, such as: The RTCU Communication Hub, sockets, MQTT, SMTP and FTP. TLS is fully supported.
