E450 is a smart electricity meter offering reliable performance with versatile
functionality including support for multi energy reading and control. Two-
way communication using Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology enables
integration to AMM systems and multi-energy support extends the reading
and control possibilities even further. E450 also supports personal energy
management.
As PLC communication in the low voltage network is free of charge, the
network is fully available for advanced metering applications. Therefore,
mission critical communication tasks can be dispersed over time in order to
achieve maximum reliability.
The E450 meter communicates with the data concentrator using PLAN+
(Power Line Automation Network) low voltage PLC communication. The
protocol over the communication is always dlms. The PLC communication
between the meter with a PLC-module and the data concentrator is based
on standard protocols (IEC61334 series). Thus PLC communication tech-
nology represents the best trade-off in the context of conflicting technologi-
cal and economic requirements.
