NES Data Concentrators

MODELS 78704 AND 78705

Data concentrators manage devices on the power line network and provide the connectivity infrastructure between meters and NES System Software.

  • Manages up to 1,024 NES meters and 4,096 associated M-Bus devices
  • Collects and reports meter data, including consumption and power quality
  • Can be installed at any point in the ANSI or IEC low-voltage network topology, including co-location behind IEC poly-phase, transformer-operated, and single-phase meters, to allow minimal installation costs
  • Communicates with NES System Software using any IP-capable network, whether it's wired or wireless, public or private, wide area or local area, including traditional analog telephone service
  • Supports end-to-end data encryption to secure metering data and ensure customer privacy
  • Internal modem bay accepts and powers standard wired and wireless modems (DC-1000/SL)
  • 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet with 2 meter Ethernet cable (DC-1000/SLE)
  • Plastic enclosure tested to IP56; weather-proof plastic enclosure optional
  • Approved for use in ANSI and IEC markets

NES System Software

NES System Software communicates with NES data concentrators and meters to deliver services and events. The software acts as an edge or access server into the NES System.

  • Collects and reports utility data, such as consumption, load profiles, power quality, and other events
  • Easily integrates with utility middleware and applications using standards-based design such as XML, .NET, and TCP/IP
  • Enables remote control, remote firmware upgrades, and remote configuration of NES meters and data concentrators
  • Scales from small projects to millions of meters
