Dependable modules for CLS management in compliance

with BSI TR-03109

As an active EMT, the MTG Mehrwert-Konnektor from our partner MTG ensures a smooth and secure data exchange via the CLS channel. The MTG CLS Stack enables manufacturers of CLS devices to quickly and reliably connect their devices to the SMGW. While both solutions can operate independently, their combined use offers exceptionally simple integration, maximum flexibility, and excellent performance, providing reliable modules for secure CLS management (BSI TR-03109).

Deliver Value-Added Services Effectively

The MTG Mehrwert-Konnektor (MWK) is a central security and communication module for energy suppliers acting as an active EMT (aEMT). It enables them to control various end devices (CLS – Controllable Local Systems) via the CLS channel and to offer value-added services successfully. This flexible, vendor-independent solution allows different value-added applications and CLS devices to be operated in full compliance with regulations. The innovative software establishes a BSI TR-03109-compliant communication channel to the SMGW on the server side and also provides the option to manage any number of connections via the CLS channel.

MTG CLS Stack – for your CLS devices

The MTG CLS Stack provides a BSI TR-03109-compliant connection of your hardware to the Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW). It is composed of the CLS-HAN stack, an IP connector, and a special multiplexing function. When the MTG Mehrwert-Konnektor is deployed as an active EMT (aEMT), the multiplexing functionality can be enabled. In all other cases, the CLS Stack is used to establish the HAN-CLS link to the SMGW.

The MTG CLS Stack thus ensures the reliable connection of CLS devices to the SMGW via the CLS channel.

Develop and Test with the MTG SDK for Device Manufacturers

The CLS Stack is delivered with an SDK for Windows operating systems, which supports both the development of CLS devices and the execution of tests. Where necessary, the connection to SMGW, GWA, EMT, and SM-PKI can be simulated, significantly reducing the technical preparation effort.

Amazingly efficient and easy connection of CLS devices via TCP/IP with the MTG CLS Stack and MTG Mehrwert-Konnektor

Connecting to the SMGW infrastructure becomes even simpler when the CLS Stack is used in combination with the MTG Mehrwert-Konnektor. Thanks to MTG’s specially developed transmission technology, virtually any TCP/IP-capable CLS device can be seamlessly integrated into the SMGW. The standardized TCP/IP addressing allows projects to be implemented with minimal configuration effort, enabling you to plan and execute your business ideas quickly and reliably.
