A modular PLC smart meter that implements ZIV’s own technology for PRIME and Meters & More open standards.

It ensures a reliable data transmission, even in the most challenging powerline media conditions: eg. noisy, low impedance lines and the like.

Additionally, it can include one or two RS-485 ports to connect a modem or a dongle linked to an Inhome Display.

• The embedded PLC node is automatically identified in the PLC Network (plug and play)
• Direct & CT connected Smart Meters using DLMS/COSEM
• Application data or meters and more protocol stack.

Key features

• Secured access and encrypted data transmission.
• Dot matrix display for meter readings and standardized messages/symbols.
• Instantaneous measurement of voltages, currents, active and reactive powers, angles and power factors (per phase), neutral current, network frequency and sequence information.
• Energy registers (active and reactive), total and per tariff rate.
• Several load profiles with different channels and configurable intergration period.
• Measurand profiles (maximum, minimum and average voltage and currents…), with programable integration period.
• RMS values register (voltage, currents and active/reactive power) with configurable integration period.
• Monthly and daily billing data.
• Versatile Time of Use (TOU) module which provides a way to configure different seasons, weekly profiles daily profiles and special days.
• Maximum demand recording for each of the programmed tariff.
• Clock and time synchronization (EN 62054-21) with DST configurable.
• Event and alarm recording with a broad set of manageable events.
• Power Quality recording. Voltage variations outside the established thresholds and long-term voltage interruptions.
• Breaking and reconnection elements for remote switching operations, power control and demand side management.
• Auxiliary relay (optional) for current tariff information or external modules management.
• Protection against temporary overvoltage (e.g earth faults) by means of opening the disconnector in a very short time frame.
• Battery for RTC and fraud events maintenance.
• Self-diagnostics and monitoring.
• Enhanced anti-tampering protection system, including bypass and magnetic field detection.
