EnVerv Reference Data
Concentrator Based on
EV8000 PLC Modem SoC
Meter PLC
Modem SoC
Description
The EnVerv reference data concentrator unit (DCU) is
designed and developed by EnVerv’s development team
for two specific reasons:
System Block Diagram
The DCU comprises a GRPS/EDGE module on the WAN
side and a 3-Phase EnVerv PLC module on the LAN/UAN
side with a 32-bit RISC microcontroller in charge of the
control and applications layer software.
The DCU also hosts a Data Acquisition and Control
reference platform with a multitude of analog and digital
I/O interfaces such as ADC, DAC, Temperature and
Lumen sensors, etc.
Coupling and Protec;on ①  Provide reference hardware and software platforms
for EnVerv’s customers to base their designs on
②  Operate as the DCU in EnVerv’s and customers’
field trials

Data Concentrator Specs
Processor and GPRS/EDGE Modem
The DCU is configured and operated by the Meter Data
Management web-based software (EnVerv product
available as part of the AMI Reference Kit) and can work
in two different modes:
§  16-bit microcontroller
§  96KB internal and 512KB external RAM
§  256 KB Flash with optional expansion port
§  8GB standard SD flash
§  SIMCOM SIM5320A 3G/EDGE/GPRS Modem
§  Over the internet via GPRS/3G/Ethernet connection
§  Locally to a PC via Ethernet/RS232 connection
The latter mode is for instances where internet
connection is either not available or not desired for DCU
connectivity.
§  Option for DLMS/COSEM
PLC Modem
§  Multimode: 4GPLC™, G3-PLC and PRIME
§  CENELEC, FCC and ARIB bands. No hardware change
§  Mesh network enabled
§  Connectivity of up to 500 neighboring nodes (Option
of up to 2000 nodes)
