Compact RTUs ACOS 710 and ACOS 720

The automation and telecontrol device ACOS
750 from IDS is a powerful system which fulfils
the most stringent requirements. The system
has a modular structure and can be scaled ac-
cording to requirements. For this purpose, wide-
range power supply units, powerful CPU modu-
les and a wide range of I/O modules are availa-
ble which can be installed both centrally and de-
centrally on the basis of EtherCAT technology.
Sophisticated and comprehensive communica-
tion solutions and an integrated PLC based on
CoDeSys

V3 complete the profile of this versa-

tile and powerful telecontrol device.
IDS GmbH has expanded the ACOS family by
the two compact RTUs ACOS 710 and ACOS
720. These RTUs can be easily integrated into
existing SCADA systems, thus providing a clear-
ly defined and cost-efficient solution for different
areas of decentralized energy generation
(photovoltaic installations, thermal power sta-
tions, biogas plants) and for the upgrading of
automation systems in medium- and low-voltage
systems.
The decentralized generation, distribution and
storage of energy from renewable sources can
be controlled and monitored by means of intelli-
gent power grids (Smart Grids), thereby ensu-
ring a secure power supply despite the volatility
of these resources.
ACOS 710 and 720 have been specially desi-
gned to meet the requirements related to distri-
buted energy resources (DER), as well as those
resulting from the German Renewable Energy
Act (EEG) and the German Heat-Power Coge-
neration Act (KWKG).
ACOS 710
The compact RTU ACOS 710 serves as a star-
ting tool with a defined function and performan-
ce range, and has the following features:
Plastic housing for direct mounting on
TS35 mounting rail

ACOS 720
The compact telecontrol and automation device
ACOS 720 additionally features an integrated
PLC for small-scale automation tasks and can
be expanded by additional I/O modules. It has
the following features:
Programming acc. to IEC 61131-3
Connection of up to eight
compact I/O modules via EtherCAT
Supply voltage: 24V DC

Communication
Thanks to the wide range of data transmission
possibilities, ACOS 710 and ACOS 720 can be
universally used for telecontrol applications.
Communication can be done via the following
protocols resp. means of communication:
IEC 60870-5-101 Master/Slave
IEC 60870-5-104 Client/Server
IEC 60870-5-103 Master
Modbus RTU Master/Slave
Modbus TCP Client
NTP time synchronisation
PPP connections
SMS
M-BUS and Wireless M-Bus*
In this context, various data transmission facili-
ties, including TETRA, HF radio relay systems,
HDSL etc., can be used for data communication.
To ensure the secure data communication via
internet (DSL or GPRS), ACOS 710 and ACOS
720 can be used as Open VPN Client to estab-
lish a link with an OpenVPN Server, for the
transmission of data via the IEC 60870-5-104
protocol.
*in preparation
Parameterization and Diagnostics
The ACOS ET engineering tool is available for
parameterization and diagnostics, both locally
via an USB or network interface, or for remote
parameterization via the data transmission in-
frastructure.
Programming of the integrated PLC is done via
CoDeSys

V3.
As an option, it is possible to store the parame-
terization data and archived values on a mi-
croSD Card, thereby facilitating the exchange of
faulty devices without parameterization tools.
