service and operational efficiency.
The MINER is a member of the Station Controller family of devices. Station Controllers
not only combine the functions of a traditional RTU with the functionality of a Data
Concentrator, but also includes a Terminal Server and a Web Server.
The MINER provides a balanced combination of I/O points and communication ports in a
compact package, operating with just 6W in industrial temperature range.
The communications capabilities allow the MINER to connect to multiple IEDs either on
multiple ports with multi-drop configurations or over one or two Ethernet ports. The
communication to the master or masters can be configured to occur via one or more of four
serial ports or via one or two Ethernet ports. When connected to an Ethernet LAN, one or
more serial ports can be configured to act as terminal server ports. This allows a remote
device (the master or other appropriate computer on the LAN) to access this port and
exchange data with an external device. As an example, this feature can be used to remotely
configure IEDs or upload historical data files.
The MINER has two dedicated serial ports for configuration, point monitoring and
diagnostics. A simple terminal connected to this port will act as the Human interface. When
connected to an Ethernet LAN, the same configuration and diagnostic operations can be
performed remotely on the RTU via Telnet or Web Browser.
A powerful Web Server is also integrated within the MINER. This user friendly tool
allows operation, maintenance and configuration of the RTU without the need of proprietary
software. Any standard web browser allows direct access to the web server built-in within
the MINER.
Simple configuration is provided by the Points Mapping Wizard which allows points
mapping of third party IEDs and I/O cards in a graphical environment. An extensive library
of point maps is available for the most common IEDs available on the market, making IED
point mapping a few clicks of the mouse.
