The Kongsberg RCU602 is a high-performance general purpose real-time process control computer designed for use in a variety of KM systems in onshore and offshore installations. The device uses the embedded Power PC™ architecture and can support single -, dual – and three-machine redundant topologies to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

The RCU602 features a variety of communication interfaces, including a dual Ethernet LAN processing network, a dual redundant network interface, and a dual field network interface, which make it easy to connect to third-party Ethernet field devices. In addition, the RCU602 features dual remote I/O process buses (RBUS), four universal digital input/output channels, and a watchdog digital output channel, enhancing its flexibility and reliability in field applications.

The device also has 24 serial lines that can connect to third-party interfaces via the RSER200 module, and supports two PROFIBUS and two CANBUS bus channels, further extending its application range. RCU602 complies with a variety of communication protocols, including Modbus, NMEA 0183, PROFIBUS/PROFIsafe and CAN, as well as third-party vendor-specific protocols.
