How Does the Meter Reading System Record the Reason For the Disconnection of the Concentrator？

Let's start with the fault judgment of the concentrator. If we see that the concentrator is offline through the background of the meter reading system, the first reaction is that the concentrator is faulty. But this is not the case. For example, in the event of a power outage, if there is a power outage, the concentrator must be offline.

In practical applications, there are many such cases. For example, shopping mall counters are withdrawn, community facades are withdrawn, and power outages during school holidays. The absence of these concentrators is not due to a fault. And we don't know whether it is caused by a fault or offline due to a power outage. It will be more difficult to deal with the problem because it is necessary to first determine whether it is a fault or a power outage.

Therefore, a function is added to our concentrator, that is, the function of reporting power failure events. If there is a power failure, the super capacitor in the concentrator can also support a period of working time and report the power failure event to the meter reading system.

There are two important indicators of the concentrator that need to be monitored, one is the online time chart, and the other is the daily telecommunication signal strength.
