Communication gateway TicMaster®

telemetryEthernetRS-485

Description :

• 2 to 10 TIC inputs compatible with major electricity meters (BLUE, LINKY, YELLOW, PME‑PMI, VERT/ICE, SAPHIR)
• Automatic configuration of TIC channels and Modbus table
• Modular DIN enclosure occupying a single slot
• Modbus/JBUS slave (RTU or TCP depending on version)
• Supply: 10–30 VDC or 85–264 VAC (depending on version)
• Unlimited backup of TIC values without supply (Option M memory)

Functions and detailed description :
The TicMaster® processes teleinformation (TIC) signals from electronic meters in real time. Available in versions with 2 to 10 independent TIC inputs, each input includes an opto‑isolated coupler to avoid common‑mode issues on multi‑meter installations and long TIC links. Inputs are configurable for high or low impedance to coexist with third‑party systems.

TicMaster® supports BLUE (CBE), LINKY, YELLOW (CJE), VERT/ICE, PME‑PMI and SAPHIR meters. It handles TIC rates of 1200 or 9600 baud and manages meters in injection (4Q). The gateway decodes a wide range of TIC labels and exposes numerous measurements (up to 37 for BLUE, 52 for LINKY, 17 for YELLOW, 355 for PME‑PMI, 226 for VERT and 244 for SAPHIR depending on subscription). Built‑in corrective processing addresses native TIC defects (missing CRC, mixed tariff bands, absent data, etc.) and synthesizes total and per‑energy indexes for load curves.

Advantages :

• From 2 to 10 TIC inputs per module
• Modular DIN housing occupying a single slot
• Compatible with all teleinfo‑output meters: BLUE, LINKY, YELLOW, PME‑PMI, VERT/ICE, SAPHIR in 2Q and 4Q, Historic or standard modes, TIC 1200 or 9600
• Fully automatic configuration of channels and Modbus mapping
• Comprehensive diagnostics via 4 LEDs and per‑channel monitoring
• Collection of all TIC available information
• Correction of native teleinfo defects (PME‑PMI, ICE 4Q injection, ...)
• Generation of tariff‑band indexes (PME‑PMI) and total energy indexes
• Compatible with any Modbus/JBUS master (RTU or TCP depending on version)
• Power supply: 10–30 VDC or 85–264 VAC (according to version)
