Electronic Volume Converter (EVC) Supply, Programming and Integration (UK)
NC13 Industries Ltd supplies, commissions, and integrates Electronic Volume Converters (EVCs) for gas measurement and telemetry across the UK — from standalone metering sites to complex multi-EVC installations linked to SCADA or Building Management Systems.
We work with Elgas, Itron, PLUM, Elster, Dresser, Vemmtech, RMG, SICK, FMG, and more — providing full configuration, data verification, and protocol integration.

What We Deliver
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Hardware supply | Supply of certified EVCs, sensors, transmitters, and barriers from Elgas, PLUM, Itron, Elster, RMG, and other manufacturers. |
| Configuration and programming | Setup of base pressure, temperature, correction factors, inputs, and outputs — aligned with metering standards and site calibration data. |
| Communication setup | Commissioning of Modbus RTU/TCP, M-Bus, BACnet/IP and MS/TP, and LoRaWAN links, plus secure GPRS/4G/LTE-M/NB-IoT uplinks to telemetry servers and historians. |
| Integration to SCADA and BMS | Mapping of EVC data (pressures, temperatures, totals, alarms) into SCADA, DCS, or BMS environments via gateways or native protocols. |
| Verification and documentation | Protocol maps, data validation reports, and commissioning certificates for QA and audit traceability. |
Protocols and Communication Mediums
Protocols We Configure
- Modbus RTU/TCP — standard for SCADA and telemetry integration
- M-Bus — multi-drop networks for sub-metering or plant systems
- BACnet/IP and MS/TP — for direct communication with BMS and automation systems
- LoRaWAN — long-range, low-power telemetry from kiosks or outdoor installations
- Cellular telemetry — GPRS/4G/LTE-M/NB-IoT for remote stations or standalone EVCs
- MQTT/HTTPS — cloud-based data ingestion for IoT or historian platforms
Wired and Wireless Mediums
- RS-485 (Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP) and two-wire M-Bus for robust serial links
- Ethernet (Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP, OPC-UA) for local SCADA integration
- Fibre links for long-distance, noise-immune communications
- LoRaWAN radio for dispersed or battery-powered EVCs
- Cellular with private APNs for secure, wide-area connectivity
We ensure each EVC communicates reliably across wired and wireless networks, maintaining integrity for flow, pressure, temperature, and correction data.
Calibration and Compliance
- IGEM/GM/4 and UK measurement legislation compliance
- Manufacturer protocols and safety zone requirements
- Traceable calibration data for each EVC and transducer
- Secure storage of configuration backups and parameter sets
