4. Principal Components of the controller MCL 5.10
The main controller components are listed below:
a) Comunication interfaces - RS232 or USB (for parametrization),CL and RS485 for data collection
from meters
b) Internal 450mAh Li-polymer battery to ensure the notification of power failure or data transfer
function support.
c) CSD/GSM/GPRS/3G modem is used for modem programming, firmware update, data reading and
parameterization
