RTS Services Data Acquisition and Automation

As resource extraction requires ever more remote locations, automation of recording data from these locations becomes especially critical. RTS Services produces certified Remote Terminal Units (RTU) metering skids designed to endure rugged terrain and variable weather conditions which contain a complete system for data acquisition. This data acquisition and communication system collects data from virtually any isolated site, providing timely and accurate information using electronic flow computers to measure all variables and calculate flow rates. Data can then be transmitted by a number of different methods including 1X cellular, satellite and radio communications. On-board memory ensures capture of historical data for an extended period that can be retrieved later in the event of communication failures.

RTS’ proprietary software allows the support of a multitude of communication protocols from different manufacturers, including Hart, ROC and MODBUS. Also, RTS hardware supports data collection from pressure and temperature meters, as well as the measurement of tanks levels. RTS Services’ FieldLINQ web software allows quick and complete configuration of the meters as well as allowing user to efficiently view the data in real time. Finally, for producers in Alberta, RTS is proud that our data acquisition equipment is compliant with Directive 17 as set out by the ERCB
