TAMM AMR

TAMM AMR is the component of TAMM suite dedicated to managing the technological processes of data collection and the main metering groups, in addition to managing the reception of high level commands and parameter lists from MDM, converting them into suitable commands for various Metering Group types and returning results with a standardized structure.

The system implements “independent” planning strategies for the collection of data supplied by metering groups, optimising the contact and communication processes in the light of the criticalities arising from the “gas-day” setting.

TAMM AMR files the data with minimal time depth (time depth is anyway parametrisable), because its function is to provide a data buffer for the MDM system to maximise its performance and efficiency, also in terms of optimised costs of communication with the metering groups.

By implementing the different communication protocols (DLMS, MBUS, and CTR) used by the system to communicate with the metering groups, TAMM AMR interacts with field equipment for various activities, including:

Collection of metering data in compliance with the specific maintenance levels and in accordance with details defined based on regulatory provisions (minimum data) and /or as requested by the Distributor (as per the SLA)
Regulation of interaction with host system controls for the transfer of information and reception of commands and formulations by means of native interfaces of the Web Service type
Integration with multiple Network Managers for meter networks management
Initialisation without local configuration by means of a proprietary algorithm
Data reading and diagnostics snapshot requests
Management of security keys
Gas and Water valve management
Remote management of device configuration and firmware updates
Interaction with multiplatform applications for tablets and smartphones for field equipment management
Multilevel alarms management
Reliability validation of data received from field equipment
Transmission of suitably adapted commands for each item of field equipment

Competitive advantages
- Interoperability:TAMM AMR software allows easy and swift integration of distribution companies’ application maps
- Modularity:TAMM AMR is composed of function-specific modules designed to interact with one another, thus allowing the optimal configuration to be created for each client
- Scalability:TAMM AMR can be used to manage multiple utilities, i.e. gas, electricity, and water, offering guaranteed interaction with many different device brands and models.
Standing alongside some of the world’s most prestigious companies, Terranova forms part of the ‘ecosystem’ driving development and testing of the new NB-IoT mobile communication system. Terranova is among the first European companies to experiment with the emerging technology destined to bring a paradigm shift to the remote data reading scenario, increasing access to devices, reducing communication costs, and simultaneously minimising the necessary investments.

Thanks to TAMM AMR, Terranova already supports the latest NB-IoT technology. This new mobile telecommunications technology is one of the milestones of the Internet of Things and the revolution it portends, and is also very likely destined to become the prevalent M2M technology for the utility sector. In terms of security-related aspects, use of the platform means guaranteeing the ability to cover the current and future needs of any Distribution Company seeking to integrate legacy ERP systems while remaining open to accommodate evolutions of regulations and systems (central and field), and broadening the coverage spectrum of points to be managed remotely.

Terranova addresses system security requirements by means of software and hardware protections, transmitted data integrity and sensitive data protection. Security in communications between components is provided by the HTTPS channel and the specifically installed certificates, by a login and password-based authentication process, and by compressed and encrypted data packets. The architecture comprises several application modules capable of managing meters accessed in point-to-point mode by means of the CTR, CTE and DLMS/COSEM protocols defined by UNI TS standards, and also devices accessed in multi point mode using RF technology.
