Meter Driver Management Portal

The central knowledge of your
meter reading – in one place.

UNIMOD MDM is the browser-based portal where you define once, centrally, how each meter type is read: protocols, identification, registers, access data, keys, load profiles, breaker and commands. UNIMOD reader then reads exactly per this definition – without a single line of protocol code in your master app. UNIMOD collect Server also uses the MDM for subsequent interpretation and licensing.

What the portal does

Define meter drivers centrally – once, for all apps

In the MDM portal you store all the reading knowledge: how a meter is recognised, read and interpreted. UNIMOD reader fetches exactly this definition for reading – no duplicate maintenance, no protocol code in the app.

🧩

Meter drivers & types

Create and maintain meter types centrally: identification, registers, error registers, OBIS matching and unit calculation – across manufacturers.

🪄

Guided wizard

Create new drivers step by step: type, identification, registers and protocol settings – without deep protocol know-how.

🔌

All protocols

IEC, DLMS (LLS/HLS, roles), KMP/Kamstrup, SML, ANSI C12/Echelon, Sontex, RADIO/radio, CS cable and ANY – finely configurable per type.

🔑

Key management

Store keys for KEM/Kamstrup, OMS radio and Sontex centrally and encrypted – including re-decryption for radio meters.

🛡️

Access data

Manage meter passwords and HLS keys centrally and securely – delivered to the reading apps in a controlled way.

🧪

Interpretation tests

Safeguard driver quality: check raw data against an expected JSON and compare changes before they go live.

🧾

Reader app configuration

Setup and reading specifications for UNIMOD reader directly as JSON – the app reads exactly as defined in the portal.

🏢

Customers & installations

Manage customer-specific settings, mobile devices, documents and licensing (protocols, load profile, UC server modules).

📡

Radio data pickup

Collect radio data via radio antenna and FTP connector, assign it to the meter types and interpret it.

📥

Data pickup

Customers retrieve their reading data directly from the MDM – e.g. radio data or load profiles.

Supported protocols

One portal for all meter protocols

Per meter type you configure identification, registers, access data, keys, load profile, breaker and commands – for all common protocol families.

IEC 62056-21 DLMS (LLS / HLS) KMP / Kamstrup SML ANSI C12 / Echelon SONTEX RADIO / radio (wM-Bus · OMS) CS cable ANY
💡 Per meter type you can define, among others, load profile reading, breaker (disconnect / reconnect / control mode), commands as well as DLMS roles and public access settings – maintained centrally, valid everywhere.
Security

Sensitive data central and protected

Keys and access data are highly sensitive. UNIMOD MDM keeps them central, encrypted and role-based – and delivers to the reading apps only what they need.

The knowledge base behind the reading

UNIMOD MDM is the central configuration. UNIMOD reader fetches its drivers, keys and specifications from here and reads the meter exactly as defined in the portal – UNIMOD collect Server uses the MDM for interpretation and licensing.

UNIMOD MDM This portal

The browser-based portal for meter drivers, protocol settings, keys, access data and licensing – central for all customers and installations.

📱

UNIMOD reader

Performs the actual reading at the meter (optical, Bluetooth, radio) and fetches drivers and access data from the MDM. More about UNIMOD reader →

UNIMOD collect Server

The back office for route-based reading accesses the MDM for subsequent interpretation of the reading results and licensing. More about UNIMOD collect Server →

💡 Also without route-based reading. For fixed radio reading, a radio antenna + UNIMOD MDM are enough, and UNIMOD reader can also be used standalone – the reading data arrives in UNIMOD MDM and is retrieved from there (e.g. via API, export or portal download). UNIMOD collect Server is optional and only needed for guided route-based reading.
Operation & technology

Browser-based, central, low-maintenance

UNIMOD MDM runs as a web portal with an accompanying service – centrally maintained, without installation for the user and fully operated and hosted by VOLAG System AG.

Who it's for

For everyone who configures meter reading

Energy utilities & grid operators

Maintain the reading knowledge for the entire meter fleet centrally – across manufacturers and valid for all UNIMOD components.

🛠️

Meter & reading experts

Create new meter types, test drivers and manage keys – with wizard and interpretation tests.

🧑‍💻

Integrators & master apps

Your app calls UNIMOD reader – the protocol details come centrally from the MDM, without any protocol code of your own.
