Description
The TicMaster LC is a real-time gateway for processing customer teleinformation (TIC) signals broadcast by electronic meters. The TIC input includes an opto-isolated coupler to eliminate common-mode issues on long TIC lines. Compatible with all BLEU (CBE) and Linky meters; supports all TIC speeds (1200 or 9600 baud) and injection meters. Firmware complies with ERDF-NOI-CPT_0x. Most TIC labels are decoded and available immediately without user configuration, with access to up to 37 fields for BLEU and 52 for Linky. The TicMaster LC performs signal conditioning to mitigate intrinsic TIC defects and synthesizes cumulative indexes (all tariff bands) and per-energy counters to provide immediate load curve access.
The read values are exposed to a master system via Modbus/Jbus RTU. The TicMaster LC is delivered ready to use: apart from setting its Modbus/Jbus address, no configuration is required. TIC channel settings (speed and mode) and Modbus table construction are automatic and identical across installations. Supervisory and alarm functions can be enabled for high-reliability applications. Front LEDs provide quick commissioning and diagnostics; TIC line monitoring is available via Modbus.
