The focus is on the electronics inside an FTU/DTU/TTU: industrial MCU or SoC, sensing and digital inputs, isolation boundary, industrial Ethernet and RS-485 links, isolated power tree, watchdog and secure boot., which are mainly centralized control type, local. Distribution Automation Terminals (DTU and FTU) by Application (Substation, Pole Mounted Switch, Distribution Transformer, Others), by Types (Distribution Terminal Unit (DTU), Feeder Terminal Unit (FTU)), by North America (United States, Canada, Mexico), by South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of. Distribution Automation (DA) is a collection of technologies like sensors, processors, communication networks, and switches that help utilities collect, automate, analyze, and optimize data. This improves the efficiency of power distribution systems. It also reveals some trends and future. It mainly monitors and controls the switching equipment in the distribution system and has functions such as fault location and isolation, system protection, etc. Distribution automation terminals are usually divided into three types: Feeder Terminal Unit (FTU), switching station remote terminal.
