The concentrator is the data concentration unit of the intelligent meter reading system. The concentrator processes and exchanges data information between the main control machine and the meter unit by establishing a reliable communication channel. It can be configured to automatically read the meter every day of the month, at a certain time or on two days according to the needs. The data after meter reading is saved in the concentrator for the main control machine to read at any time. It can read the meter reading data that has been read and saved in the concentrator, and can also let the concentrator operate the collector and meter unit to extract new meter reading data for each meter unit. The number has 11 digits.
Concentrators are divided into wired and LORA concentrators, and the connection methods are:
1、Wired concentrator connection: Uplink: Ethernet, GPRS, RS232 Downlink: RS-485, M-BUS
2、LORA concentrator connection: Uplink: Ethernet, GPRS Downlink: LORA
