M2M INDUSTRIAL ROUTER 2 DCU MBUS

The robust DCU device features an Ethernet port, an RS485 port, an MBus port, a cellular module, and compact industrial design.

It is currently available with either LTE Cat.1 or LTE Cat.M/Cat.NB modules, offering improved coverage.

The device has undergone a complete redesign, providing improved processing speed with an eMMC chip for secure boot and encrypted data storage.

It also features an OTP-enabled memory chip, an option for a Chip SIM (MFF2), and supercapacitor protection along with the latest security protocols and features for maximum security.

Reliable and Rugged Communication Device for Metering and Industrial Applications.

This device is designed for use in various metering and industrial M2M / IoT applications, including Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and industrial automation projects.

The DCU is capable of reading registers from connected PLCs and sensors on RS485 (via Modbus RTU), on Ethernet (via Modbus TCP), and receiving data from up to 256 MBus meters. It transmits valuable data to the data center through the MQTT protocol, providing a cost-effective solution for industrial automation and smart metering connectivity.

The device utilizes the open-source OpenWRT^® operating system, allowing clients to compile their own applications to the firmware. It features a user-friendly web admin interface for easy access and configuration.

The product can also be managed with the state-of-the-art Device Manager^® platform, providing clients with the ability to perform OTA firmware updates and mass deployments more efficiently.
