Phoenix-METER

complete software and hardware Phoenix-RTOS-based development framework for Smart Energy Meters

What’s in it?

Reference 1-phase or 3-phase meters with Power-Line Communication (PRIME, G3-PLC), IEEE 802.15.4 communication (Wireless M-Buss, ZigBee), USB interface for connecting external communication modems (4G, 5G, WiFi).

What’s in it?

  • Reference 1-phase or 3-phase meters with Power-Line Communication (PRIME, G3-PLC), IEEE 802.15.4 communication (Wireless M-Buss, ZigBee), USB interface for connecting external communication modems (4G, 5G, WiFi).
  • Complete firmware including Phoenix-RTOS operating system, communication stacks (PRIME. G3-PLC for CENELEC and FCC, TCP/IP), USB stack with device drivers, metrology, DLMS/COSEM server and sample application.
  • Complete hardware design including schematics and PCB layout.

Innovative flexibility on a solid foundation

Phoenix-SEM Development Framework is a field-proven, commercially available solution. Software-defined approach enables fast development of metering application on low-resources platforms and unique flexibility in terms of meter’s functionalities delivered to end-customer.

You choose a set of components included in Phoenix-SEM that meets the functional requirements of your project and capabilities of the hardware platform.

Adapt, extend, develop

ADAPT: Phoenix-SEM allows software extensibility facilitating updates and enabling adaptation of functionalities to changing requirements thanks to hight scalability of the Phoenix-RTOS microkernel architecture and its partitioning, inter-process communication and system resources management mechanisms.

EXTEND: Phoenix-SEM supports a whole range of different communication protocols to choose from depending on the characteristics of the hardware platform (TCP/IP, USB, Wireless M-Buss, IEEE 802.15.4) enabling external communication with third parties thanks to availability of dedicated interfaces and implemetation of communication stacks.

DEVELOP: Phoenix-SEM provides a secure, system-isoleted environments for execution of additional DSO and user applications and facilitates their self-development thanks to Phoenix-RTOS support for programming languages C, C++, Python, microPython and its status of an open-source with libraries available on GitHub. 

Why „smart” ⇔ „software-defined”?

  • Modular solution with high scalability facilitating updates and enabling adaptation of functionality to changing requirements
  • Environment for running user applications providing further extension of funtionality – Phoenix-RTOS supports languages: C, C++, Python, microPython
  • Partitioning mechanism guaranteeing a secure separation of user’s applications space and legally relevant DSO’s space dedicated to metering functionality
  • Mechanisms of resource management, security, encryption etc. facilitating work and shortening product’s Time To Market
  • Implementation of functionality directly in software instead of hardware, minimizing the cost of a single device’s production

Discover Phoenix-SEM software architecture

  • High scalability of the microkernel-based Phoenix-RTOS operating system makes it provide application environment similar to the general-purpose OS environment when being run on devices with limited computing resources – using only KB of RAM deployed on 2 processor cores (ARMv7 Cortex M7, ARMv7 Cortex M4).
  • Space divided into DSO partition, including legally relevant MID-certified metrology, and system-isolated user partition dedicated to user applications execution guarantees secure separation at the software level.

Components:

  • MID-certified metrology with change verification and secured firmware upgrade components
  • PLC PRIME 1.3.6 and G3-PLC standard implementation (CENELEC and FCC) optimized for limited hardware resources
  • DLMS / COSEM data model in accordance with the DSOs remote reading outlines
  • TCP/IP stack providing possible further extention of functionality
  • Environments for running DSO and user applications with supported languages: C, C++, Python, microPython.
  • USB stack with device drivers enebling usage of external communication modems (4G, 5G, WiFi)
  • Supported low-level drivers (e.g. SPI, GPIO, UART)
