Radio Central Supercom 646

Application

The radio central Supercom 646 is a remote data readout system, permanently installed, working with the bidirectional radio system Supercom of Sontex. The radio central collects radio data supplied by radio devices that are saved in a non-volatile flash memory. With the different available interfaces of the radio central the data can be read at all times and used for the dependent consumption measuring and billing. The read out and the configuration of the radio central are done with the software Tools646 supplied with the radio central Supecom 646.

Functions

- Readout of all data stored in the radio central Superior 646 (heat meter, heat cost allocator, radio modules for water meters, radio pulse adapters, etc.)
- Program for different data collection dates with optional repetition.
- Memory for up to 1000 radio devices in a non-volatile flash-memory.
- Readout of the central radio by GSM/GPRS, M-Bus, USB, RS-232 interfaces.
- Data saved in xml file format with software Tools646.

Operation

The radio central Supercom 646 consists of a SMD board equipped with a radio card of 433 MHz and an external antenna. A non-volatile flash memory stores the configuration parameters of the central, the list of radio devices, the data of the last reading as well the firmware version of the radio central Supercom 646. After each radio read out the current stored data will be replaced with the new data. If during a read out a problem occurs the old data will not be removed. Always the data of the last read out will be saved in the memory. During a radio read out, the time and date of each radio device questioned by the central is automatically synchronized with the time and date of the radio central. The time and date of the radio central must be adjusted to winter time. The data collected during the radio read out are ready to use for the billing.

Software Tools646

The software Tools646 supplied with the radio central allows to read and configure the radio central and to export the data to a XML or Excel file. The configuration can be done by optical probe, USB, RS-232, M-Bus or GSM/GPRS depending of the version. The access to the configuration of the radio central is password protected.

The following parameters can be defined and modified by the Tools646 software:
- Identification number of the radio central.
- Time and date
- Time and date of the radio read out.
- Transmission speed depending on the type of interface
- Pin code of the GSM modem and call-back number for the call-back function if used.
- Password modification
- Updating the radio central firmware

Radio device data collection and periods

The radio central Supercom 646 can read the radio devices 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Usually the radio central Supercom 646 is configured to read out during the night. During the day it is always possible to do an immediate radio read out of all radio devices during commissioning or for test purposes.

Application

The repeater Supercom 656 R allows to expand the radio signal from the radio central Supercom 646. It is possible to cascade the repeaters to expand the remote radio signal up to the Radio central Supercom 646. The repeaters allow to read the radio remote devices farthest from the radio central

Functions

- Readout of all Sontex products who own the option remote radio
- Up to 6 repeaters can be cascaded one after the other in the same chain.
- The functionality is supported up to 6 chains.
