Why Choose the Lovato DMECD Expandable Data Concentrator?

The Lovato DMECD is an intelligent, expandable data concentrator designed to collect pulse signals and operating data from energy meters, utility meters, machinery and other monitoring equipment. Featuring 8 built-in programmable digital inputs and an integrated RS485 communication port, it provides a practical central interface between field devices and remote energy-management or supervision systems.

As part of the Lovato Electric energy metering range, the DMECD can collect pulse information from compatible DMEM100T1 and DMED energy meters, as well as other devices equipped with pulse outputs. Its flexible configuration also allows it to monitor water, gas, production counters, machine cycles, alarms and general-purpose digital signals.

The compact 4-module DIN rail housing includes a clear backlit graphic LCD for local viewing and configuration. Expansion through Lovato EXM series modules can increase the number of digital inputs from 8 to 14 inputs and add communication, memory or digital output capabilities, making the DMECD suitable for both straightforward metering systems and more advanced monitoring installations.

Key Advantages

  • Centralised data collection and pulse counting from multiple devices.
  • 8 programmable digital inputs built into the base unit.
  • Expandable to 14 digital inputs using compatible EXM modules.
  • Integrated RS485 communication interface for remote monitoring.
  • Backlit graphic LCD provides clear local information and configuration access.
  • Compact 4U DIN rail format simplifies control-panel installation.

  • Class 1 active energy measurement accuracy.

Centralised Data Collection for Energy Monitoring

The Lovato DMECD collects pulses and digital signals from connected meters and equipment, converting them into organised data that can be viewed locally or transmitted to a remote supervision system. Each input can be programmed for different functions, allowing the device to track energy consumption, operating hours, production quantities, equipment status or alarms.

Its integrated RS485 interface enables communication with compatible monitoring platforms, while optional EXM expansions can add Ethernet, USB, memory, additional communication interfaces or digital outputs. This flexibility makes the DMECD suitable for installations ranging from basic pulse collection to comprehensive multi-utility energy monitoring.

Typical Applications

  • Electrical energy consumption monitoring.
  • Pulse collection from DMEM100T1 and DMED energy meters.
  • Water, gas and utility meter monitoring.
  • Industrial machinery production counting.
  • Equipment operating-hour measurement.
  • Alarm and digital status supervision.
  • Commercial building energy-management systems.
  • Industrial switchboards and control panels.
