Decoder TicSwitchBlue®

Short description :

• 1 TIC input
• 8 dry-contact relay outputs for tariff information: Today / Peak/Off-peak / Tomorrow / Mobile Peak, Linky virtual relays, current tariff slot
• Supported meters: CBE (Bleu) / LNK (Linky)
• Supply: 10–30VDC or 85–264VAC (depending on version)

Description :
The TicSwitchBlue® decodes customer teleinformation (TIC) signals from Bleu and Linky meters to extract tariff-slot data. Extracted information is made available on eight dry-contact (NO) relay outputs. The device is particularly dedicated to TEMPO subscription management and can be configured in three operating modes via wiring bridges on the dedicated terminal block. The TicSwitchBlue® supplies tariff and calendar information to any load-shedding or energy management system and is delivered ready to use without additional software or dedicated hardware.

Operating modes :

• Tempo mode :
  • Outputs 1–3: current day color (Bleu / Blanc / Rouge)
  • Output 4: current tariff level (Peak / Off-peak)
  • Outputs 5–7: next day color (Bleu / Blanc / Rouge)
  • Output 8: current Mobile Peak
• Relay mode :
  • Outputs 1–8: state of the 8 virtual relays from the Linky meter
• Conventional mode :
  • Outputs 1–8: current tariff slot (see user manual)

Applications :

• Energy management and optimization systems
• Load-shedding controllers
