DATA CONCENTRATOR UNITS FOR PLC SMART METERS

DATA CONCENTRATOR UNITS FOR PLC SMART METERS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses Data Concentrator Units (DCUs) used in conjunction with PLC smart meters. These units are integral to the Enedis Linky® smart metering program and are installed on the LV side of MV/LV distribution substations. They serve as powerful computerized hubs for centralizing and processing meter data.
Main Functions:
  • Centralizes and processes data from electric meters using Power Line Communication (PLC).
  • Transmits collected data to a centralized Information System (IS) via GPRS.
  • Facilitates remote handling requests from the IS to meters.
  • Monitors LV distribution network voltages.
  • Interfaces with other devices such as Fault Detectors.
Main Characteristics:
  • Dimensions: 184 x 175 x 80 mm.
  • Mounting: Fastened with 3 screws or clipped to a DIN rail.
  • Protection Ratings: IP 51 / IK 07.
  • Power Supply: 200 – 250 V AC three-phase.
  • Connectivity: 2 Ethernet ports, USB extension, 4 dry contacts, optional GSM/GPRS modem.
  • Protocol: CPL G1 or G3.
Advantages:
  • Efficient concentration and management of meter data.
  • Compatibility with all communication meters in PLC G1 or G3.
  • Acts as a communication gateway between the IS and meters.
  • Ensures secure data transmission with certification and cryptographic mechanisms.
  • Reduces meter reading costs.
  • Complies with European electricity billing regulations.
  • Offers a 20-year service life.
Intended Uses:
  • Distribution Grid Managers responsible for metering in France and internationally.
  • Advanced Meter Management (AMM) contracts from electricity suppliers.
