Scalable and Cybersecure Control for Demanding Remote Operations
The powerful DeltaV™ FB3000 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) is a highly scalable, cyber-secure controller with the expanded data capacity to fulfill the demanding requirements of today's upstream and midstream oil and gas operations as well as water/wastewater operations. The RTU is engineered to protect itself against modern cyberattacks, with all firmware digitally signed at the factory. The device checks it own firmware every time it boots and will not accept any modified or unknown firmware. The DeltaV FB3000 RTU further bolsters cybersecurity by supporting the DNP3 Protocol Secure Authentication v5 (SAv5) that enables highly secure communication across wide area operations. The rugged RTU also offers superior form and function for ultra-reliable control and measurement of liquids and/or gases. Customized logic and control allow the flexibility to configure and program the RTU to fulfill standard to complex requirements while secure, built-in flow measurement calculations make it easier than ever to prove compliance. In addition, cloud-enabled functionality for licensing simplifies day-to-day operations. Digitally transform your operation by streamlining complex processes with the agile, intuitive DeltaV FB3000 RTU. This new controller is also part of Emerson's next-generation FB Automation Platform for measurement and control that offers DeltaV FBxConnect™ Configuration Software, our tool for expediting setup and facilitating commonly performed tasks including licensing.
