ECHO Lob

  • ECHO Lob GatewayV2 extends range of Wireless M-Bus /Sensus RF meters by collecting short range data and then uploads it using modern cellular lo T networks (Narrowband lo T) onto the Internet. Alternatively, an additional upload path via LoRaWAN networks is available. This unique feature of combining two LPWAN technologies in a single device might be used as a fall back if yet no modern NB-lo T network is available at the place of deployment.

    Metering data is sent to the AURA Cloud Platform, were it gets parsed, displayed and made available for further processing. Because most Wireless M-Bus telegrams are encrypted, Platform allows adding decryption keys for individual meters, so that data can be decrypted by the Platform

ECHO Rep

  • Battery life time: up to IO years (depending on device configuration and network radio signal quality)

    Protection type: IP68

    Operating temperature: -20°C ... 80°C

    Collecting consumption data from up to 5 Sensus RF or OMS Wireless M-Bus devices

    Adjustable and pseudorandom measurement delivery sending interval in order to avoid network congestion

    Collecting consumption data interval is adjustable

    Embedded Real-Time Clock (RTC)

    Guaranteed measurements delivery even in the event of network failure (the device stores the measurements internally and delivers them once the network connection has been restored. In the event of an overflow, the device will delete the oldest one, first in first out principle)

    The devices deliver the measurements to the AURA cloud from which the readings are forwarded to the user or third party systems

    Possibility of remotely updating firmware

    Monitoring network and device performance through AURA cloud

    Remote configuration of the device

Durable display system

  • SC-TFT 128 Display is a cost-effective solution that combines an m-bus master device and a local display with memory. It can be installed in networks that require an onsite display.

    The SC-TFT 128 Display device efficiently reads all m-bus devices in a network and presents the information on a large 4cm x 20cm LCD display.

    For storing and displaying information

    about up to 64, 128 or 250 devices in m-bus network
