Abstract
A system includes a control system and a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). The control system is configured to communicate data with one or more field devices via the RTU. The RTU includes a motor configured to vibrate the RTU unit. The RTU also includes an acceleration sensor configured to measure an acceleration of the RTU. The RTU also includes an I/O module configured to transmit a displacement computing by the acceleration of the RTU.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a control system configured to communicate data with one or more field devices via a remote terminal unit (RTU);
- and
- the RTU comprising:
- a motor configured to vibrate the RTU;
- and
- an acceleration sensor configured to measure an acceleration of the RTU;
