The Challenge


Meters may be distributed across multiple panels, buildings or locations

Different devices may use different communication interfaces or protocols

Meter data must reach a local or centralized monitoring platform reliably

Remote locations may have limited wired network connectivity

Large deployments require a scalable architecture for additional meters and sites

    • Data communication may need secure remote access

    • System integrators may need products from different technology brands to complete the architecture

    • Remote troubleshooting can be difficult across distributed meter networks

Solution Architecture



WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED?


Energy meters / smart meters

Industrial Ethernet switches

Power quality meters where applicable

Industrial Wi-Fi / wireless where appropriate

RS485 / Modbus field devices

Industrial 4G/5G routers

Electrical panel communication devices

Other field sensors or controllers

Data loggers / IoT gateways

Protocol converters

Fiber / media converters where required

SCADA / EMS / BMS / cloud platforms

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Energy monitoring projects often involve meters and field devices distributed across electrical panels, buildings, plants or remote sites. The challenge is not only selecting the meter; data must be collected, communicated and delivered reliably to the customer's SCADA, EMS, BMS, analytics or cloud platform.

Candrin helps system integrators and technology solution providers build the connectivity infrastructure required to move energy data from field devices to monitoring platforms using suitable gateways, protocol conversion, industrial networking, cellular, fiber and secure remote connectivity technologies.
