AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light is featured by basic functionalities as follows:


   Ïîääåðæêà ðàçëè÷íûõ âèäîâ îáîðóäîâàíèÿ è ñïîñîáîâ ñâÿçè:
    E-meter Mercury 200 and 203.2Ò. The support covers readout of all data fixed by the devise including as follows:

  • values at the beginning of the month including restore of such values for the last year from the device memory;
  • current consumption as well as current values of electric network characteristics: voltage, current intensity frequency etc;
  • value readout with arrangement by tariffs;
  • average power profile;
  • event logs;
  • readout and reset of power peaks;
  • time setting;
  • built-in relay control;
  • recording of tariff schedule and holiday schedule.
    E-meter Mercury 230 and 233. The support covers readout of all data fixed by the devise including as follows:

  • values at the beginning of the month including restore of such values for the last year from the device memory;
  • values at the beginning of the day;
  • current consumption as well as current values of electric network characteristics: voltage, current intensity frequency etc;
  • value readout with arrangement by tariffs;
  • value readout with arrangement by phases;
  • average power profile;
  • event logs and unified power quality index log;
  • readout and reset of power peaks;
  • «soft» correction and time setting;
  • built-in relay control;
  • recording of tariff schedule and holiday schedule.

    Concentrators PLC-I Mercury -225.1/225.11 and registration devices connected via it:

  • monthly cuts including their restore from concentrator memory;
  • values at the beginning of the day;
  • current consumption;
  • value readout with arrangement by tariffs;
  • correct processing of various methods of single-phase device use for multiphase electric energy registration (including processing of e-meter migration from phase to phase);
  • automatic download of the list of meters connected to the concentrator in database.
    Concentrators PLC-II Mercury -225.2/225.21 and registration devices connected via it. A nearly complete readout support of all parameters which can be requested from the connected registration device (E-meters Mercury 203.2Ò or Mercury 233).
    Data collection and transmission device (DCTD) Mercury -250 and the total range of the equipment connected via it.

    GSM-gate Mercury -228 , including complete support of package mode ensuring considerable acceleration of data transmission owing to delay compensation in GSM/GPRS networks.

    Equipment connection via serial communication port
    (CAN, RS485, using adapter Mercury 221 or similar).

    Equipment connection via GSM networks. For GSM communication modem pool technology is used, which ensures redial to any device in case at least one serviceable GSM-terminal is available. Communication with equipment by means of TCP/IP or UDP/IP. This method can be used in GPRS and Ethernet networks when connected equipment has real IP-address and acts as server.

    Communication with equipment by means of TCP/IP or UDP/IP. This method can be used in GPRS and Ethernet networks when connected equipment has real IP-address and acts as server.

    Support of equipment connection technology via network GPRS in the conditions of dynamic IP-addressing and use of NAT-servers.

    Modular system architecture allows designing support of some new equipment within the shortest time according to some particular customer's needs.

  A variety of equipment poll modes:
  • Automated poll by schedule with flexible adjustment availability:
    • o all kinds of startup criteria (by dates, months, days of the week, with an interval, at time conversion, retry in case of error and many others);
    • o possibility to setup various schedules and performed operations for various groups of registration devices.

  • Manual poll by schedule: the system warns about necessities of startup job but the final decision (to startup or not) is taken by human being.

  • A free-hand job processing at arbitrary time points.

  Convenient support of tariff schedules and schedules of holidays change for a large number of registration devices.

   Time synchronization support in automatic, semi-automatic or manual mode.

  Flexible adjustment of measuring network architecture: arbitrary grouping of objects with unlimited hierarchy nesting

   Support of multiuser operation:

  • flexible adjustment of access rights;
  • setting ratio User–Object (object distribution by curators);
  • measuring network segmentation: while operating in unified system users can see objects and settings of their segment only with no access to other segments.

  Analysis means of the data readout from registration devices

  • available representation in table or graphic form;
  • closing a balance sheet by objects;
  • available manual data correction;
  • available of acknowledgement / non- acknowledgement of data reliability by human being.

  Availability of integration with other systems (contracts bases, document management systems, billing etc).

  • owing to possibility of setting external references for any objects of measuring network any content can be registered in database of AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light with no communication loss with external system database.
  • support of various data import/export methods including by means of file system and FTP.

   Modular system architecture allows easy customizing to meet a particular customer.

  The whole interaction between user and system is performed by means of the web- interface. As in this case only web-browser needs installing at on the client PC, support, updating and system scaling becomes essentially simpler.

  Industrial DBMS Microsoft SQL Server 2005 used in AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light ensures a high rate of data processing and reliability of their storage. To solve majority of automation issues of energy registration at small objects a free version Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (included in distribution kit, it can as well be freely downloaded and updated from Microsoft website) would be sufficient.

Constraints of Demo version

    Demo and commercial versions of AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light is distributed in the form of the same distribution kit. Demo version automatically turns into commercial one upon enabling hardware protection lock delivered to users in case they purchase product commercial license to PC. To switch from Demo version to commercial one you are not required to reinstall AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light

     In case you start AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light without enabled protection lock (or with out-of-date protection lock) software is switched to Demo mode. In doing so constraints as follows are set:

  • Maximum number of logic units in database - 500.
  • Maximum number of GSM-terminals in modem pool - 2.
  • Maximum number of users in database - 3.
  • Duration of early-access period makes 90 days upon installing software program.

     Only general information on Demo version constraints are provided here. You can find more detailed information in AMM Mercury –Energouchet Light Installation and Adjustment Manual..

     Upon purchasing and connecting hardware protection lock (which can be executed immediately under software operation) the specified constraints will be disabled and replaced with constraints conforming with the purchased commercial license (if any). Upon further protection lock disabling software program again involves Demo version constraints.
