Modern technologies offer a wide number of applications in the energy sector, such as energy supply, energy transmission, and distribution. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the most popular technology that can be applied for improving energy efficiency and reducing the environmental impacts of energy use. In today’s commercial buildings, installing an effective electricity metering system can be a source of substantial energy and cost savings. This blog examines cellular router, which comes with the rich VPN protocols and reliable wireless connection, as an essential component toward a comprehensive energy management strategy regardless of office or home energy management. Best practices for connecting an industrial computer, and working on the cellular network are described.

Industrial Cellular Router UR32

Ethernet is a LAN technology that has lots of advantages including superior versatility, speed, and compatibility. A trend to create LANs in the energy management process appears due to the increased number of electronic devices.

Solution

Milesight worked with Power Automation Pte Ltd. in Singapore to carry out this application successfully. The hundreds of power meters, industrial PCs, and compact Milesight UR32 cellular routers are efficiently supporting each other in this energy management solution.

In this scenario, we can see, due to the compact design of Milesight cellular router, UR32 can be easily deployed in minimal space without disruption.

One of the ETH port on the UR32 router works as LAN to connect with a small industrial PC in the field (you may find in the picture that the ETH port is not yet connected to the device, it’s because the picture was taken before that moment), for the energy data reading from power meters, which allows industrial PC to be connected and controlled.

Milesight routers also have extensive protocol routing support. With built-in IPv4, OpenVPN, IPSec VPN, PPTP, L2TP and DMVPN, GRE, DHCP, any router can be easily deployed in hierarchical or large mesh network structures to operate as a router or a gateway. Besides, those protocols offer extra device and data transmission security to keep your information safe, and the router bridges data between the field and the back-end monitoring center by cellular 4G/3G network.

The data communication between power meters and industrial PC is also relying on wireless radio frequency technology.

In brief, for energy data communication in the electricity metering solution, you can take advantage of Milesight cellular routers to achieve massive cost-saving over traditional back-haul methods such as fiber or leased lines.

One great advantage of this wireless connectivity is the implementation of cellular routers to be with an integrated data communication network having the collection and analysis data in real-time.
