2. Functionality and installation

2.1. General information

MCL 5.10 controller ("the Controller") is used in automated electricity, heat and other energy resources reading devices for data transfer to remote data collection centre. The controller does not store, does not analyse and does not interpret the meters or their data. The controller can be fitted with internal lithium polymer battery to send a report on the loss of voltage to the data centre.

The transfer of data to remote centres is performed by GSM and GSM-R network CSD/GPRS technologies, transparent or TCP/IP protocols.

Attention! The functionality provided below depends on the modification of controller and the additional needs of the client, therefore, not all functions can be realised in a specific product.

2.2. Supported communication protocols

The controller supports two-way communication for data exchange (data readings and configuration) by using DLMS/COSEM, LST EN 62056-31:2001 or LST EN 62056-21:2001 (fixed communication 300...19,200 baud, 8N1 or 7E1 bytes) communication protocols.

2.3. Methods of communication with controller

RS485 electric interface is used for data reading from meters (speed of baud rate 300 ... 19,200, 8N1 or 7E1 bytes). The controller is configured locally by using RS232, USB interfaces or remotely - via sms messages or GPRS. The controller can operate either as TCP/IP server (enable connections) or as a client (to initiate connection).

2.4 Installation and electricity power sources

The controller can be installed under the cover of electricity meter produced by Elgama Elektronika or on a 35 mm DIN rail. The correct installation of controller is confirmed by LED indicators. The controller is powered from the external electricity power source. Attention! There is a possibility to connect by using USB cable, however, in such case, the GSM modem of controller, will not function, therefore, it is recommended to use such method of supply only for local configuration. The controller has an additional electricity source - lithium-polymer battery (450 mAh) to be used for sending reports on the loss of voltage to remote data centres.

2.5 Updates of hardware and configuration of parameters The hardware of controller can be updated and the controller itself can be configured both locally (via RS232 or USB interface) and remotely (via GPRS) by using the tools provided by the manufacturer. Subject to the settings, each time it is turned on, the controller can connect to the indicated server and check if there is a newer version of hardware. Due to software used for work with controller or hardware updates, please contact the manufacturer according to contact information provided on the last page of the manual.

2.6 Monitoring of mobile network communication

The controller periodically tries to download a small amount of GPRS data from the network. In case of failure to download, the controller relaunches the GSM modem. In case of launch, subject to the model of modem, the controller tries to connect to the highest possible (for example, 3G) network and verifies the intensity of connection. If the signal is weaker than the limit set in the control unit, the controller connects to the lower connection (e.g. 2G/GPRS). The controller automatically connects to the highest possible connection only after the reset.

7

2.7 Automatic search for network supplier The controller MCL 5.10 can be provided with ID numbers of SIM card suppliers and attribute network settings to each of them individually. In case of insertion of SIM card and connection of controller by using an external power source, the system verifies if the ID number of SIM card supplier meets the ID numbers of each of the entered suppliers in the controller. If so, the controller automatically starts the use of parameters attributed to such provider.

2.8 Reporting system (Plug & Play) The controller can download the reports received from the metering unit. In case of receipt of report, the controller transfer all the received data to the http servers indicated in the settings and also adds its own information (IMEI, IP).

2.9 Time synchronisation The controller synchronises the time and date with GSM network provider - it is necessary for the register of entries and system audit. The time zone of controller is determined and changed in the settings.

3. The main modules of controller MCL 5.10

The main controller modules:

a) Communication interfaces - one or several - are selected according to the modifications table. The purpose of interfaces and parameters is provided in Table 4.

b) Internal 450 mAh lithium polymer battery is used to ensure that the report on the loss of voltage is sent or data transfer function is supported.

The battery is charged from internal or external power source of the controller. - In case of loss of supply voltage, the controller is supplied from the battery and a report is sent to the system about the loss of voltage. The service to which the report is sent is indicated in Device Configuration menu item "AC fault report address". In case of sending of report, the controller automatically switches off and then on again only after the supply voltage is restored. After the expiry of the useful life of the battery, it can be replaced without performing the soldering works.

c) SMA type connection for antenna. External magnetic GSM antenna with 2 ... 5m long cable can be ordered together with the controller. Antenna can be 2.5 ... 11 dBi directional amplification.

d) GSM-R/GPRS modem module supporting up to 10 sessions at one time.

5.2. Interfaces for connection of configuration of metering units

5.2.1. Connection of metering units with RS485 interface

Subject to modification, the controller can have RS485 interface. This interface can be physically connected with 32 metering units. Interface conductions cannot be longer than 1,000m. It is recommended to use twisted pair cable 2 x 0.5mm2 or 2 x 0.64mm2; a screen signal cable can also be used, for example, LIYCY 2 x 0.5mm2, J-Y(St)Y 1 x 2 x 0.6mm2. In case of connection of more than one metering unit to RS485 interface, RS485 network should be of "line" and not "star" or other type, i.e. RS485 interface cable should stretch from one metering unit to another without long branching. The connection of metering units to RS485 is provided in Fig. 5.6. IMPORTANT. Polarity should be observed! (“A” and “B”).

5.2.2. Connection of metering units with CL (current loop) interface

Subject to modification, controller MCL 5.10 can have one 20 MA current loop interface which can be connected with up to 3 metering units. The metering units are connected to the controller's current loop in series and form a closed circuit. The connection of metering units to the current loop is provided in Fig. 4.6.

Fig. 1.2. Connection of metering units to MCL 5.10 via current loop interfaces.

Maximum length of conductors of current loop can be up to 2,000 m. However, the longer the

14

lines, the lower is the possible speed of data transfer. In case of long conductors (>100m), it is recommended to install additional surge protectors (PROTECT 10 type). It is recommended to use twisted pair cable 2 x 0.5mm2 or 2 x 0.64mm2; a screen signal cable can also be used, for example, LIYCY 2 x 0.5mm2 , J-Y(St)Y 1 x 2 x 0.6mm2. In case of correct connection of current loop interface, the voltage on the terminals of each metering unit current loop has to be 3.5 ... 4V (without data transfer), whereas the measured voltage on the controller CL leads (11-12 contacts) has to be 3.5...4V, multiplied by the number of connected metering units. Accordingly, in case of connection of 2 metering units on the controller CL leads - the voltage will be 7-8V.
