Meter family
- Aidon
5500 - an open and modular AMR meter family
The openness of the architecture extends to the level
of metering; the metering task and the data communication
solution are separated from each other. Aidon 5500 meter family
is based on an open architecture that meets energy companies'
needs to incorporate different technologies into a single
operating system. Aidon's meters consist of a reliable energy
meter with a data communication bus and an associated system
module.
The system module connects the meter to the reading system
and, as necessary, extends the energy metering functionality
to tasks such as the provision of time-stamped registry values,
control of loads, registration of power outages, power quality
and fault information, as well as reading of external status
information.
The meter's functions can be used in real time (controlled
by the energy company's own system) or by an independently-operated
integrated timer. Any requirements for changes in the future
are accounted for by remote software upgrades through OTAP
(Over the Air Provisioning).
The open meter is compatible as such with most commercially
available metering systems. If necessary, the basic meter
can be adapted to any system by means of a system module engineered
for the specific system in question. If there is a need to
replace the system module during the meter's life cycle, this
can be done easily without replacing the basic meter.
Deliveries of Aidon 5500 meters have started in all of our
most important market areas, Finland, Sweden and Norway.
