Cam65 -

The CAM65 is more than a simple gateway; it is a programmable, ruggedized computational hub that enables the scalability of smart grids. By handling the heavy lifting of data pre-processing and protocol management at the local level, it ensures that utility providers can manage complex energy networks with precision and reliability. CAM65 - ZPA Smart Energy a.s.

The modernization of energy grids relies heavily on the efficient collection and processing of data from thousands of individual endpoints. The CAM65 data concentrator, developed by ZPA Smart Energy , serves as the localized "brain" of these networks. By managing communication with hundreds of electricity meters, the CAM65 transforms raw consumption data into actionable information for utility providers. 1. Hardware and Software Architecture The CAM65 is more than a simple gateway;

It communicates with meters using standard utility protocols such as DLMS , MBus, and IEC1107. The modernization of energy grids relies heavily on

To reach the central master system, it uses Ethernet or 4-band GPRS/GSM radio WAN. 3. Operational Intelligence It can automatically read meter registries

At its core, the CAM65 is an industrial-grade mono-board computer powered by an (AM335x) running at 1GHz. It utilizes the Linux operating system (specifically Debian 8), providing a stable and programmable environment for complex data tasks.

Designed for the utility field, it operates in extreme temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +70 °C and features IP53 ingress protection. 2. Advanced Communication and Connectivity

Beyond simple data passing, the CAM65 performs automated tasks via an internal scheduler. It can automatically read meter registries, track alarms, and process operational data. A key feature is its which allows the central HES to access individual meters directly through the concentrator, facilitating real-time troubleshooting and firmware updates at the endpoint level.
