NES Data Concentrator (Distributed Control Nodes) up to 1024 Managed OSGP Devices
Monitor Health and Operations of Grid Devices and PLC Network NES’s Data Control Node (DCN) 3000 series is a data concentrator that manages smart meters and other grid devices on a low-voltage power line network. It provides the communication infrastructure between grid devices and the head-end by efficiently coordinating the bi-directional delivery of device data. By automatically discovering grid devices at installation or as a result of dynamic topology change, you’ll have a 100% accurate picture of asset location, and better outage placement. Detects and reports trouble conditions such as line breaks and device failures. A broadcast capability enables time-critical services such as demand response and load shedding and by collecting meter data, including consumption, load profiles and power quality measurements to help you monitor the health and operation of grid devices.
