Description
The Rail Control Unit (RCU) ANTARES is the central unit in the ANTARES system. It consists of the head module and the connection module. Various field bus and Ethernet-based head modules are available. There is no need to use an isolating repeater to connect them. Redundancy with no single point of failure is achieved by connecting two PROFIBUS-DP RCUs. The head module consisting of the CPU, communication interface and an integrated power pack is produced with Ex d type of protection and inserted into the appropriate connection module.The innovative interlocking technology ensures a reliable connection. The hot swap capability allows the head module to be replaced even in an Ex atmosphere. The connection module has an Ex e junction box designed specially for it. A version is also available for armoured leads. The system is configured by means of ANTARES designer software through the USB interface. See the system description for installation instructions.
