The CG Power Systems DRT (Distributed Remote Terminal) is a specialized component of the CG Automation ecosystem, designed to provide decentralized monitoring and control in utility and power substation environments. As a companion product to the STN (Station Terminal) series, the DRT extends the reach of the automation system to the outermost points of the field wiring, ensuring robust data acquisition where centralized wiring is impractical.

High-Reliability Distributed Architecture

Designed for critical environments, the DRT is engineered to prevent "false operations"—a critical requirement in high-voltage power distribution. Unlike generic industrial RTUs, the DRT features a fixed point count discrete I/O interface specifically hardened for utility field wiring. Its distributed nature allows it to be mounted in small, wall-mounting outdoor enclosures close to the primary equipment, reducing the length and complexity of copper control cables.

Seamless System Integration

The DRT leverages the proven 6CPP6 processor architecture, running the same real-time operating system found in the premium ePAQ and STN series. This commonality ensures that field personnel only need to master a single software platform: the Windows-based ConfigWiz-Plus®. This interactive program facilitates rapid configuration, diagnostic checks, and protocol mapping, significantly reducing the commissioning time and the risk of configuration errors.

Key Features for Power Utilities

• Common Platform Logic: Full compatibility with existing CG Automation infrastructures ensures long-term support and easy spare parts management.
• Outdoor Rated: The ruggedized enclosure is designed to withstand harsh outdoor substation environments without additional protection.
• Prevention of False Operations: Specialized hardware and software interlocking designed for the high-stakes environment of power utility operations.
• Fixed Point Count I/O: Simplified field wiring through a dedicated, high-density hardware interface.

Typical Applications

• Pole-top transformer monitoring and control
• Distributed substation switchgear automation
• Interfacing with legacy utility field wiring in modernization projects
• Critical environmental monitoring where fail-safe operation is mandatory
