C400 Gateway

Multiprotocol gateway for energy metering networks

Multiprotocol Gateway/Concentrator, compatible with Wireless MBus, MBus, Modbus, KNX protocols, among others, and with the capacity for data acquisition and communication with external systems.

Together with the R400 series Repeater, it is possible to create radio networks of more than 10,000 devices, creating a Multihop system of N hops that facilitates the creation of wireless structures in energy installations, district heatings, water networks in populations, etc.

What the C400 does

  • Aggregates data from multiple devices and manufacturers.
  • Normalizes and routes frames to platforms (cloud or on-prem).
  • Orchestrates the network with R450 repeaters for total coverage.
  • Exposes data to external software and Gestio Home/Factory.

Protocols and compatibility

  • Protocols: Wireless M-Bus (OMS), Wired M-Bus, Modbus, KNX (optional BACnet depending on the project).
  • Topologies: point-to-multipoint and multihop with R450.
  • Interoperability: compatible with +15 meter/distributor manufacturers.
  • Usanca Ecosystem: native integration with CM100, R450, Walk-By 4ALL, and Gestio Home/Factory.

Key functions

  • Mass acquisition of devices and queue management.
  • Local buffer and retries in the event of communication interruptions.
  • Filtering/validation of data and anomaly detection.
  • Alarms and events (signal loss, anomalous consumption, leakage).
  • APIs/Export (CSV/JSON) for integration with third parties.

Benefits

  • Real scalability: networks of >10,000 devices with multihop.
  • 24/7 Reliability: stable reading even in complex environments.
  • Lower operating costs: fewer incidents and technical visits.
  • Security and traceability: roles, logs, and auditing.
  • Data “ready for analytics/AI”: standardized and consistent.

Start-up and support

We include network dimensioning, coverage studies (with WMBUS Scanner), start-up and training. Engineering support for specific integrations (SCADA/ERP).

The essential element for data collection

Multiprotocol gateway with data acquisition and communication capabilities with external systems

The most commonly monitored measuring devices are Meters (Energy, water, electricity), Cost Distributors and all types of probes (Tª, Humidity, Luminosity and CO2).

Likewise, its installation is very useful as an integrator with control systems, or as a master in the acquisition of data from devices from different manufacturers.

Greater power and versatility

  • Master function for the creation of Multihop radio networks
  • Bidirectional and multi-device device
  • Capacity of up to 1,500 Meters (More than 10,000 supported by Repeaters)
  • Data acquisition directly from the device
  • Mapping in real time of the radio map
  • Great range in emission and reception
  • Ethernet or 4G version
  • Compatible with more than 15 manufacturers

Data input/output

  • FTP
  • SSH
  • Email
  • Integration with other protocols (consult)
  • Integration with Gestio Home platform

Frequently asked questions about the C400 Gateway

How many devices can the C400 manage?

With multihop architecture together with R450, it can scale to thousands of devices and exceed 10,000 in extensive networks.

Is it compatible with third-party equipment?

Yes. It operates with WMBus/OMS, M-Bus, Modbus and KNX, integrating devices from multiple manufacturers.

What happens if the connection to the server is lost?

The C400 maintains a local buffer and executes retries; it synchronizes when connectivity is recovered.

How does it integrate with the management software?

It connects natively with Gestio Home/Factory and offers API/export for other systems.
