Base Solution for the Smallest Applications
With the rapid progress of the energy revolution, the number of systems and devices requiring monitoring continues to grow. Stations are becoming smaller, yet still need to be equipped with reliable telecontrol technology. This is where functionality and practicality must meet increasing challenges in IT security, as well as economic and physical constraints.
The m5 offers all the essential telecontrol functions in an impressively compact and cost-effective design. It provides solutions for a wide range of applications, making it ideal for small, distributed systems.
Application Areas of the m5
- Feed-in management for small-scale energy producers (e.g., a modern replacement for traditional ripple control)
- Direct marketing and integration into virtual power plants
- Monitoring and control of infrastructure systems, pipe-bound media, and contracting service provision
- Charging management for battery storage systems and e-mobility
Note: Depending on the specific application, additional components such as external relays may be required.
The m5 as a Ready-to-Use Complete Solution
For maximum convenience, the m5 can also be delivered as a fully assembled, connection-ready system tailored to your specifications. These customized units typically include:
- The telecontrol unit
- Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
- Relays
- Transfer terminals
- And more, depending on your requirements
These components are housed in robust enclosures from well-known manufacturers such as Eaton, Rittal, or Hensel.
IT Security You Can Rely On
Just like the devices in our series5e line, the m5 sets high standards for IT security. It supports a wide range of modern cybersecurity measures in line with the current BDEW whitepaper and BSI recommendations. Key features include:
- A modern Linux kernel
- Advanced firewall rules with granular configuration
- Customizable user role management (RBAC)
The m5 is built to deliver a strong, secure foundation for your critical infrastructure.
