What Is Remote Power Meter Reading? What's the Effect? Where Is It Commonly Used?
The remote power meter reading system is designed to realize real-time and reliable data reading of three meters (electric meter, water meter, gas meter) remotely. The device realizes the remote meter reading task with the star/vertical line/radio communication triple network structure. Connect n MDM (DD-862S mechanical digital electric meters) electric meters (for example: n=32) with a data collector through a star network. The data collector is connected to the radio through a vertical network, and one vertical network can connect m collectors (for example, m=128). Therefore, a subnet can share a station with nm=32×128 meters. This is a triple network structure consisting of star-vertical-wireless. The components of this network structure are electricity meters, water meters or gas meters (hereinafter referred to as three meters), data collectors, and radio transceiver stations.
With the increasing development and improvement of domestic intelligent systems, remote power meter reading systems have been installed in most high-end residential quarters. As an important part of the modern management system, the system has played a very important role. Meters such as water meters, electricity meters, gas meters, etc. in each household in the residential area. The installation locations are different. Some meters (such as electricity meters) are installed centrally, while some meters (such as water meters) are scattered in households. This brings difficulties to the management department's meter reading and statistics work. It takes a lot of manpower and time to read the meter from household to household, and it is difficult to complete the household meter reading at one time, and sometimes it can only be estimated. A centralized meter reading management system will make these problems a thing of the past. There is no need for manual meter reading from household to household. The measurement values of all household meters will be uniformly copied by the center. It only takes 1 second to read a watch, saving time and effort. The system includes automatic meter reading of water, electricity and gas, household gas leakage prevention, and real-time on-off control of users' water, electricity, and gas consumption by the management department.
System composition
GPRS remote power meter reading consists of four parts: meter reading center, communication network, on-site meter reading equipment, on-site measurement and control equipment.
Power meter reading center: It is composed of central server, upper computer meter reading software, etc.
Communication network: public network broadband (fixed IP) + GPRS network of telecom operators, supporting other common networking forms.
On-site power meter reading equipment: GPRS meter reading terminal (mains power supply); for sites without mains power supply conditions, solar power supply + GPRS low-power consumption measurement and control terminal or battery-powered GPRS micro-power consumption measurement and control terminal can be used.
On-site measurement and control equipment: various flow meters, various transmitters, PLC equipment, etc.
