2 About the system
2.1 How is a digitalSTROM system constructed?
The components of the digitalSTROM system
The components in the distribution board of the digitalSTROM system include the digitalSTROM Meter, digitalSTROM Server and digitalSTROM Filter (
Fig. 1).
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. 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.
In order to optimise the network conditions for digitalSTROM communication, digitalSTROM Filters have been installed for network conditioning.
digitalSTROM Devices are connected by means of digitalSTROM terminal blocks, digitalSTROM push button blocks, digitalSTROM line dimmers, digitalSTROM automation terminal blocks or digitalSTROM inline adapters.
