Open Systems International, Inc. (OSI) is pleased to announce the latest feature release of its OSIRIS™ Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU). OSIRIS (OSI Remote Information System), OSI's innovative and versatile Linux-based secure RTU, now offers enhanced and expanded functionality and allows OSI to provide a full scale RTU solution.
The flexibility, expandability and low per-unit cost of OSIRIS are complemented by significant new enhancements to the product. With its latest release, OSIRIS is delivering several major new features including the addition of IRIG-B time synchronization, full integration of the OSIRIS XM™ (OSI Remote Information System Expansion Module), Integrated Linux-Based Firewall, IED Integration/Data Concentration, and additional protocols including DNP Master, Modbus Slave and IEC 60870-5-104 Slave. Additional OSIRIS protocol and feature options include Modbus Master, TASE.2 (ICCP), IEC 61131 (PLC), SEL Protocol, DNP over UDP, IEC 61850, VPN encryption and additional protocols as requested.
The addition of OSI's DNP3 Master Protocol makes OSIRIS a great alternative to high-cost data concentrators and security appliances, allowing OSIRIS to be configured as a single large-point-count RTU that can be distributed throughout a facility and integrate other intelligent devices. It also allows OSI to utilize commercially available modules to add serial and Ethernet ports, Analog Outputs, direct AC inputs and other hardware features.
"With OSI's continued development and enhancements to an already stellar product, OSIRIS is quickly becoming the solution for next-generation RTUs," said Gary Roskos, OSIRIS Product Manager.
OSIRIS offers a high level of on-board communications capability for many environments, making it ideal for monitoring communications, electric, water, gas and transportation facilities over any modern communications medium.
