Project No. 7
Latest Version Delivered to Bank Branches
What challenges does this project solve:
For wide-scale deployment and easy maintenance, a more modern architecture and simpler wiring were needed. The seventh generation unified site management with support for Wi-Fi, LAN, RS-485, license-free band and ISM links, and remote connectivity.
Challenges during development:
Optimizing the architecture to improve stability and security while reducing installation complexity was the key challenge. By modularizing components, hardening the network, and standardizing wiring, this generation achieved a significant leap in reliability and control capabilities compared to the previous one.
Goals (Features):
The intrusion alarm module was redesigned and, with a Zone Expander, installation became scalable; a backup battery and support for a GSM Gateway were added, and the new rack chassis minimized internal cabling.

Project No. 6
Version Delivered to Bank ShahrNet
What challenges does this project solve:
The need for diverse networks, high security, and concurrent services led us to a Linux-based platform. This version unified the communication core with Wi-Fi, GSM, and LAN, and provided security services and VLAN.
Challenges during development:
The main challenge was the stable coexistence of user apps and system services on limited resources; with lightweight containerization/service orientation and multi-layer watchdogs, stability was ensured.
Goals (Features):
Firewall, VLAN, radio communication over GSM, and a networked intrusion alarm were integrated so that all security and fire alarms of bank kiosks could be managed from a single panel.

First Professional Rack-mount RTU
What challenges does this project solve:
Banks and data centers required rack-mount deployment and direct switching of 12/24 V loads. This rack version standardized rack installation and enabled on/off control of multiple DC consumers without auxiliary relays.
Challenges during development:
Providing inrush current, surge protection, and isolation in a 1U chassis were important. Thermal management and long-duration rack testing paved the way to enterprise-grade stability.
Goals (Features):
While preserving Patoos capabilities, five direct-voltage outputs were added to simplify auxiliary rack power management; interfaces and terminals were designed for clean rack cabling.

RTU – LG2302
What challenges does this project solve:
For greenhouse systems and then more general applications, we needed modern network connectivity. By adding LAN, the LG2302 enabled integration with enterprise systems.
Challenges during development:
The main challenge was the stable coexistence of IP networking with real-time control logic; by separating tasks, prioritizing interrupts, and hardening baseline security, the RTU became reliable in both worlds (OT and IT).
Goals (Features):
An internal web service and support for UDP/TCP were added alongside Modbus so the device integrates well both in industry and in IT infrastructures. This flexibility opened the door to the banking industry.

RTU (IC-G3)
What challenges does this project solve:
For a serious entry into industry, a professional RTU with more I/O and an industrial enclosure was needed. IC-G3 filled this gap and made control and monitoring stable in larger projects.
Challenges during development:
Beyond increasing I/O density, managing heat and EMI in a metal chassis and ensuring 24/7 stability were critical. Segregated power/signal routing and endurance testing brought the product up to industrial standards.
Goals (Features):
The number of input/output ports was increased, and I redesigned the device mechanics from the ground up. A sheet-metal enclosure, easy DIN-rail mounting, and tidy cabling made deployment more industrial.

RTU Version 2
What challenges does this project solve:
Projects increasingly needed command outputs and dual communication; I built the second version so that, in addition to monitoring, actuators would also be controlled and the device could send data both locally and centrally.
Challenges during development:
Synchronizing two communication channels and handling cellular network dropouts was challenging; with buffering and failover logic, data was transferred seamlessly and power consumption was controlled.
Goals (Features):
Six output relays (three power and three signal), several digital inputs, and support for an expander were added. For communication, I used Modbus RTU for on-site and GPRS for central transmission to enable inexpensive and fast deployment.

Mini RTU Project
What challenges does this project solve:
In projects with limited budgets but a need for telemetry, using large controllers was not economically feasible. I developed the Mini RTU to collect and transmit data to the control center at minimal cost, improving response speed in industrial monitoring.
Challenges during development:
I had to balance simplicity with stability. The software architecture was designed to be minimalistic so it could operate with limited hardware resources while remaining resistant to resets caused by industrial noise.
Goals (Features):
My focus was on a compact form factor, low power consumption, and quick deployment. It reads basic sensor inputs, packages the data, and sends it to the monitoring core—making it possible to start automation even in the smallest projects.
