2.1 How is a digitalSTROM system constructed?
The components of the digitalSTROM system
To be able to use the existing power lines from the distribution board to the digitalSTROM Devices for communication purposes, a digitalSTROM Meter is operated in each power circuit. The digitalSTROM Meters, like the power circuit breaker, are installed into the distribution board.
Multiple digitalSTROM Meters (max. 62 units) communicate via a standardised protocol (dS485 bus interconnection).
The installation of a digitalSTROM Server enables connection to a higher-level system (building automation), the Internet or a local network. Installing the digitalSTROM Server is optional.
In order to optimise the network conditions for digitalSTROM communication, digitalSTROM Filters are installed for network conditioning.
