How Is Remote Power Meter Reading System Implemented?
Remote meter reading mainly refers to the remote meter reading and fee collection of water, electricity, gas, and heat meter data, and is also an important link in the process of intelligent management of energy sales. Today, let's explore how to realize remote meter reading together.
How to realize remote meter reading? Let's first look at the principle of remote meter reading.
Take our company's remote meter reading system as an example. Remote meter reading is to use the acquisition module to collect and transmit the information data recorded by multiple metering products (such as prepaid water and electricity meters) to the concentrator. The concentrator transmits the centralized reading data to the main station system center through the transmission channel, to realize the function of remote automatic meter reading.
Realizing remote meter reading requires "software + hardware + transmission medium".
The software is generally what we call the remote intelligent meter reading system or meter reading software, which can view the energy consumption data of each area in the background of the meter reading system only by using the mobile phone APP or computer to log in to the account. LINSHU's remote meter reading system or meter reading software can see all the energy consumption data of hydropower, which is very intuitive, and it is very convenient to manage hydropower and collect fees.
Hardware, in addition to prepaid smart metering products, there are collectors and concentrators.
The collector collects the information of all prepaid meters, completes the data collection of water, electricity, gas and heat meters and data communication with the concentrator and transmits the data to the concentrator.
The concentrator collects the data of each collector or meter for summary storage, completes the data communication with the collector, issues relevant commands to the collector, and completes the communication with the master station. Transfer information such as user usage data to the master database.
In addition to "software and hardware", a transmission channel is also required, that is, a transmission medium. For example, wireless, CDMA, RS-485 bus, power line carrier, etc., which is the communication method (meter reading scheme) mentioned below.
With these three parts, remote meter reading can be realized, but the method of communication meter reading needs to be selected according to the specific installation occasion.
