The invention discloses an RTU dual-
machine redundant acquisition 
system based on a synchronous time window, which is composed of a 
master station, a 
clock synchronization device, a communication network, a hardware 
time synchronization network, redundantly configured dual RTUs, multiple IEDs, RIOs, etc.  
Ethernet is used between RTU and the 
master station, and 
Ethernet or 
field bus is used between RTU and IED / RIO.  For the bottom, RTU collects the data of IED and RIO through 
Ethernet or 
field bus, and forwards the commands of the 
master station; for the top, it communicates with the master 
station through Ethernet, sends the collected data, and accepts the commands of the master 
station.  Through the hardware 
time synchronization network, the 
running time of the RTU is divided into uniform 
time windows that are synchronized between the two RTUs. Each time window is divided into different time intervals, and each time interval completes different tasks in turn.  The work between the two machines is completely synchronized, the operating status is completely consistent, the 
data exchange is reliable, and it can adapt to different working conditions to achieve better redundancy.
