2.1 General Description
The Regesta Smart PLC router family is a range of IP routers specially designed to operate in hostile and extreme
environments. Thanks to their ruggedized mechanics and special characteristics, which allow them to bear extreme
temperatures, these routers are particularly suited for: industrial environments, industrial telecontrol, distribution in-
stallations 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 Smart PLC) to communicate. In this scenario, the Regesta Smart PLC functions as a
Base Node. The main communication method is a TCP transport layer for DLMS, with extensions for optimally multi-
plexing 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.
Thanks to its modular design, this device can quickly adapt to the latest WWAN technologies. The Regesta Smart
PLC is compatible with wireless technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, and LTE.
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 10/100/1000 BaseT LAN Ethernet ports.
The device’s RS-232 console port can be used as a DCE asynchronous serial communications port with a maximum
speed of 115200 bps and without control signals. The device can incorporate two additional asynchronous serial
ports with a maximum speed of 115200 bps with RS-232 DCE technology or with 2-4 wire RS-485/RS-422 techno-
logy. The serial ports connection is based on a pluggable RJ45 connector.
The device incorporates a protective casing that prevents the connectors from being touched while the device is
powered.
