DIN Rail mount – Easy mounting in any industrial environment
Smallest size in the industry – Eases the installation in space constrained environment
Low price – Create feature rich “Smart Grid” systems without spending a fortune
Low power consumption – below 1.5 W consumption
AMR – All meter data ( readout, load profiles and events ) are automatically read by SIA either on a predefined period of time or according to a schedule and stored in local database. Since the connection to the meters is wired and local, this approach avoids the problems of the existing AMR systems where remote connection to the meter can not be established, which leads to cost increase and data loss.
Automatic clock correction – SIA automatically synchronizes its clock using NTP ( Network Time Protocol ) and monitors whether the clocks of the meters accurate. If a time correction is needed SIA performs it automatically taking that burden off the AMR/AMI system
One device serves multiple meters – Aggregates multiple meters, thus avoiding the need to have a separate communication module for each meter
VPN – Communication between the device and the MDMS system is secured using OpenVPN, making it virtually unbreakable
Watchdog – Internal mechanism keeps track if the firmware is working properly and automatically reboots the device if it crashes for some reason. Ensures high reliability of the device
Local data analysis – Stores and analyzes the meter data locally and this way distributes the computational and storage load for MDMS systems
Local data analysis – Stores and analyzes the meter data locally and this way distributes the computational and storage load for MDMS systems
Reduces meter complexity and price- by doing the communication and real-time data analysis instead of the meter.
User notification – SIA can track in real time for any selected parameter of the measurement (like consumed power in terms of money or value) and when a certain threshold is reached to automatically notify the user for this event via SMS or Email.
Interface convert – RS 485 to LAN, Wi-Fi or CL to LAN, Wi-Fi
Remote firmware update – Device firmware can be remotely updated. No need to have physical access to the device.
Easy monitoring and configuration – Uses embedded Web interface for configuration, meter data presentation, monitoring and manipulation.
Customization – The embedded Linux OS makes the device very flexible and scalable by allowing it to add complex functionality, according to particular use cases and customer requirements, thus eliminating the need to modify the meter. We are open to make customization that would help our clients finish their projects, so don’t hesitate to contact us and tell us what you have in mind!
