Communication gateway TicMasterSwitch®

telemetryTCPEthernet

Description
The TicMasterSwitch® combines a TicMaster® and a TicSwitch® in a single enclosure. All features of both devices are available.

TicMaster® features

• Decodes customer Teleinformation (TIC) frames as provided by EDF/ERDF electronic meters.
• One TIC input with integrated opto-isolated coupler to avoid common-mode issues and compatible with long TIC lines.
• Configurable input impedance (high or low) for coexistence with third-party systems (DEIE, concentrators, ...).
• Compatible with Blue (CBE), Yellow (CJE), Green (ICE), PME-PMI and SAPHIR meters.
• Supports all TIC speeds (1200 or 9600 baud) and meters with injection (4Q – PME-PMI / Emeraude / Saphir).
• Firmware compliant with ERDF normative document ERDF-NOI-CPT_0x. More than 550 TIC labels decoded; up to 1100 individual quantities accessible.
• Error handling routines for typical TIC defects (missing data, mixed frames, missing CRC, ...).
• Summation of index totals (all tariff slots combined) and per-energy totals with access to load curves.
• Version M: persistent data storage even without power (non-volatile memory).

TicSwitch® features

• Extracts the current tariff slot from TIC signals and displays it via one of 8 dry-contact NO outputs.
• Supports up to 8 tariff slots depending on meter type and contract.
• Tariff slot support by meter type:
  • Blue (CBE): up to 6 slots (HCJB/HCJW/HCJR/HPJB/HPJW/HPJR)
  • Linky (LNK): 1 to 8 slots
  • Yellow (CJE): 6 slots (HPE/HCE/HPH/HCH/P/PM)
  • Green (ICE): up to 8 slots (PM/HH/HPE/HCE ...)
  • ICE-4Q injection: up to 8 slots (P/HPH/HCH/HPE/HCE/...)
  • PME-PMI: up to 8 slots (PTCOUR1 or PTCOUR2)
  • SAPHIR: up to 8 slots (PTCOURD or PTCOURF)
• With CBE, CJE and ICE-2Q: decodes the current withdrawal period.
• With ICE-4Q, PME-PMI and SAPHIR: configurable to decode withdrawal or injection period via a dedicated Modbus register.

Miscellaneous

• Unused TOR outputs can be reassigned for Modbus control.
• Supervision and alarm functions available for high-reliability applications.
• LED indicators for quick commissioning and diagnostics; monitoring of each TIC channel accessible via Modbus.

Commissioning

• Delivered ready to use. Apart from setting the Modbus address, no configuration is required for basic operation.
• TIC channel configuration and Modbus table generation are automatic. No dedicated software or hardware is needed.

Applications

• Building management systems (BMS/BAS)
• Energy management and optimization systems
• Energy monitoring
• Remote metering systems

Target sites

• Small buildings
• Private installations (consumption + PV production)
