eP’s CAC EXS-1000 Extreme Service Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) series is for use in automating oil and gas production wells, and other general purpose applications requiring small to medium I/O point counts. The CAC EXS-1000 electronic circuit boards are conformally coated for protection in extremely corrosive, humid and temperate environments.

CAC EXS-1000 Extreme Service Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)The CAC EXS-1000 design is based on over 25 years of experience in providing process controllers for use in harsh environments along with quality controlled manufacturing practices. This design provides high reliability for even the most extreme conditions.

eP’s CAC EXS-1000 is a cost effective production automation controller designed for simple applications as a standalone unit, or for more complex applications that involve control, communications, and alarming.

Start-up is easy using the keypad/liquid crystal display or Windows™ based configuration management software. No special programming knowledge is required to apply the automatic alarm based control functions.

The CAC EXS-1000 is designed for easy communications to host computers and DCS systems using either Modbus™ RTU, Modbus ASCII or CAC’s 8500 protocol.

The basic RTU measures 8” x 7.5” x 2.5” and may be mounted stand-alone on any control panel or optionally packaged in a NEMA 4 enclosure for outdoor service.

Low power requirements make the CAC EXS-1000 ideal for solar power applications. Base unit power consumption is 2.5 watts @ 12 Vdc.
