Smart Metering
Electricity meters become smart with the help of our communications technologies. Our smart meter gateways and communications technologies ensure highly secure data communication. This offers data access to the end customer, the utility and other stakeholders without compromising end user privacy or endangering the security of the grid.
As the rollout of smart meters proceeds, and even where smart meters are not available, we are helping our customers to achieve their data communication goals efficiently and successfully, supporting them in all processes related to the planning, installation and operation of the communications infrastructure.

CACTUS project completed: Greater transparency for the low-voltage grid
At E-world, Weidmüller and PPC are demonstrating the EEBUS Relay Converter (ERC), a solution for control in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) and Section 9 of the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) at the interface between EEBUS digital and relay analogue. The jointly developed product translates digital EEBUS control signals into analogue relay switching commands. This means that even non-digital systems can be controlled by an SMGWplus in accordance with the requirements of Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG.
Flexibility for the basement: PPC expands its BPL portfolio with the Nessum 1T module
Reliable communication from the basement is a key prerequisite for the smart meter roll-out. At the same time, many metering point operators wish to plan their BPL infrastructure as independently as possible with a view to selecting an SMGW at a later date.
The path to RLM integration: PPC brings industrial metering into the smart meter gateway
The smart meter roll-out is progressing – yet, despite the relevant regulatory requirements, metering for industrial and commercial customers has so far often taken place via a separate, parallel infrastructure that bypasses the smart metering system. The upcoming iRLMsys solutions are designed to close precisely this gap
The basis for SMGW reusability: PPC implements the ‘DoDeleteUserData’ function
Once a smart meter gateway has been installed and commissioned, personal data is recorded. To protect personal data, it has therefore not been possible to reuse such gateways until now. The ‘DoDeleteUserData’ function, which PPC has now implemented, lays the groundwork for reuse and enables a smart meter gateway that has already been commissioned to be reinstalled at a different location.
