ZigBee-MEP Gateway SE under cover
Overview
The ZigBee module serves as an Smart Energy ESP gateway between the wireless ZigBee network and the Echelon Electricity Meter Power line communication.
The MEP device is capable of collecting meter readings from up to 16 different meter units in one system. The meter units can e.g. be different kinds of meters like water, gas and heating connected to the wireless Zigbee network established and managed by the MEP device.
The ZigBee module is based on a DevCom 04HP module with a microcontroller and a low power radio from Freescales Flexis series. Furthermore, a data flash for firmware update over the air and data storage is also included.
Communication between meter and ZigBee unit is implemented by a MEP interface.
The MEP module is mounted under the standard meter cover and is compatiple with both single and poly phase meters.
