Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) is a standalone data acquisition and control unit which monitors and controls an equipment at a remote location from the central station that utilizes Distribution Automation System (DAS). The RTU acquires information such as measured values, signal, meter readings and it transmits command or instruction, sets points, controls variables and monitors function time. In the present Distribution Automation System (DAS), the distribution field of automation allows the utilities to implement a flexible control of distribution system to enhance efficiency, reliability, and quality of electric service. The implementation of distribution automation system is highlighted based on two factors; benefit and area of distribution automation system implementation. The hardware design uses PIC16F877A microcontroller to control all the functions of RTU. The types of fault detected are undervoltage and overcurrent. The design consists of MPLAB software development using C programming and hardware assembly. RTU is also designed to communicate with the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and resulting in RTU’s ability to detect undervoltage and overcurrent fault.

This paper analyzed the design and development of a 16F877A microcontroller-based wireless data acquisition system. Besides, it also discussed the possibility of different existing methodologies to be linked to field data acquisition from distribution automation systems. Various existing data transmission techniques were studied, especially for wireless systems such as satellite, radio, GSM and paging. The hardware and software implementations were included. The system was used for reading, storing and analyzing data which were obtained from DAS. The wireless communications were based on the GSM network. The laboratory results were compared with the simulation results to determine final conclusion.
