For more flexibility in remote meter reading
Skalar.pro - Reliable Data Communication - at Low Cost!
Skalar.pro makes remote meter reading more flexible. Thanks to a wide range of interface options, Skalar.pro can be used for decentralised reading and time- or event-controlled transmission of metering data from electricity, heat, gas and water meters. Skalar.pro includes extensive security features, fulfilling all requirements on IP-based data communication. Skalar.pro is also flexible with regard to installation: You can choose between a three-point housing and DIN rail format (Skalar.pro II DR).
Features
Extensive Communication Technologies
Skalar.pro enables IP-based data transmission via DSL/Ethernet or mobile radio network, thereby ensuring excellent communication with different locations and enabling the use of nearly all available mobile radio standards - from 2.5G to 4G, which guarantees maximum bandwidth.A Wide Range of Interfaces
Meters can be connected either via integrated serial interfaces acc. to CL1, RS232, RS485 or M-Bus Master (optional; wired or wireless). An adjustable and activatable direct-voltage output is available for the supply of external interfaces.Security and Encryption
Data are encrypted and protected against attacks by means of cryptography and VPM.Monitoring and Control
Various software expansions, such as pro.online and pro.monitor, provide a comprehensive overview of all available data. For this purpose, pro.online converts raw data into other formats (e.g. CSV); pro.monitor, on the other hand, converts output values and sends a message to the person in charge in the event of an upward or downward setpoint violation.Housings
Customers can choose between conventional three-point housings for installation with a variety of meters, or a top-hat rail housing (modular system). Skalar.pro II DR (DIN Rail) includes the most important functions of Skalar.pro, as well as various expansion options.Processing of Energy Consumption Readings
The PRM44 module replicates meter readings by means of energy-proportional pulses and can thus record and process energy consumptions.Output of Switching Commands
The PRM44 module has four configurable PhotoMOS outputs for switching of DC/AC. This module is an expansion for the three-point housing of Skalar.pro.Remote Meter Reading from VIVAVIS
In connection with the IDSpecto.ADMIN software, Skalar.pro constitutes a complete solution for remote meter reading.Your Benefits remote meter reading and data communiction
Universally Adaptable
Thanks to a wide range of device drivers, Skalar.pro, as well as its predecessor Skalar, enables the connection of a broad range of meters and sensors. Moreover, IDSpecto.ADMIN facilitates the connection of additional systems, like ERP or billing systems.
Saving Time and Personnel Costs
Skalar.pro enables simple and efficient meter reading, thereby saving personnel cost for reading and processing of data.
Reducing Costs and Effort
Given that Skalar.pro is a communication device, it does not require smart metering systems but can be directly connected to installed meters. The three-point housing can simply be screwed onto the meter. The top-hat rail model, on the other hand, is usually installed in cabinets.
