D20 Analog
Input Module
Overview Efficient, Cost Effective
The D20 Analog module is composed of two detachable modules, WESTERM D20 A and WESDAC D20 A. I/O Solutions

Distributed I/O Architecture SCADA Masters
The D20 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) design is based on a distributed-
processing architecture including real-time data acquisition and control
software. These I/O modules can be located close to the primary equipment
being monitored and controlled as they receive and send data back to the
master D20 main processor.

The I/O modules are intelligent modules that contain on-board

microprocessors and are configured as slave devices to the D20 main
processor. In the Figure 1 pictorial setup, specific I/O processing is distributed
throughout the D20 RTU to the appropriate I/O modules.

The I/O modules support two communication protocols: (1) DNP 3 protocol,
and (2) high speed, high-level data link controller (D.20 Link, HDLC) protocol.
The peripheral modules have serial communication ports and various types
of field connections.

The hardware construction of each remote I/O module type is similar (see
Figure 2.)
