Chapter 2 Regesta PLC Router
2.1 Features
The Regesta PLC router family is a range of IP routers especially designed to operate in hostile and extreme envir-
onments. Thanks to their ruggedized mechanics and special characteristics, which allow them to bear extreme tem-
peratures, these routers are particularly suited for: industrial environments, industrial telecontrol, distribution installa-
tions for electricity, gas, water, etc.
The main feature that this router family offers is allowing a virtual concentrator integrated in a management system
(i.e., a system software that includes a DLMS client) and the smart meters registered on a PLC PRIME network
(controlled by the Regesta PLC) to communicate. In this scenario, the Regesta PLC works as Base Node. The main
communication method is a TCP transport layer for DLMS, with extensions for optimal multiplexing of IEC
61334-4-32 connections (also known as Ticket 67) over a Wireless WAN (WWAN) data network on private or public
networks or a LAN connection.The number of smart meters controlled depends on the license.
The Regesta PLC can also act as Service Node. In this case, the Regesta PLC allows PRIME communications to be
transferred over an Ethernet interface using the specifications defined at the PRIME Auxiliary nodes connection pro-
posal for Multi transformer Substations (also known as Ticket 65).
Thanks to its modular design, this device can quickly adapt to the latest WWAN technologies. The Regesta PLC is
compatible with wireless technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, LTE, CDMA 2000
1xRTT, CDMA Ev-Do. The basic license makes connection through the GPRS/EDGE technology possible. Additional
licenses allow technologies with a wider bandwidth to be supported. The device also has space for 2 SIM cards: one
active SIM and the other for backup.
As for LAN networks, this device incorporates two port 10/100 BaseT LAN Ethernet ports (one of them is optional
and can support up to 10KV of voltage isolation).
The device’s RS-232 console port can be used as a DCE asynchronous serial communications port with a maximum
speed of 38400 bps and without control signals. The device can incorporate two additional asynchronous serial ports
with a maximum speed of 115200 with DCE RS-232 technology or with 2-4 wire RS-485/RS-422. The serial port con-
nections are based on pluggable connectors.
The device incorporates a protective casing that prevents the connectors from being touched while the device is
powered.
