Introduction
Based on Ethernet technology development, Ethernet Meter Reading System is a new-fashioned remote metering System, introduced by FGP, which consists of the Ethernet Collector, concentrator, and remote server.
A single Ethernet Collector can receive and read 8 pulse ammeters and 100-route 485 ammeter data, available for ˇ°intelligent meteringˇ± in residential communities or even all around the city.
This metering system is able to read data from ammeters at real-time or request time. The concentrator can achieve the reading, storing and sending of the ammeter data. And the remote server can seek and collect data, as well as abnormality analysis, charge calculation and bill printing. These make power company save a great deal of human and non-human resources, as well as improve the accuracy of reading greatly.
The system also allows Internet access over power lines other than the metering automation, so that this application module stands the first place domestically.
Composition
The system is composed of end-usersˇŻelectric appliances, PLC modems, ammeters, Ethernet collectors, concentrators and managing center. The sketch map of the system structure is as follows:
Feature
1. It is based on IP LAN and Supports Protocol TCP/IP, terse system wiring;
2. It is applied for trade Superintendence and residential community management for the nimble system configuration;
3. The management center can be installed at any position to realize multilevel management, especially for trade administration and large-scale property management agency;
4. IP LAN is adopted at the upper layer,and LAN or PLC LAN is adopted at the lower layer;
5. The capacity of the system is large. Ideally the quantity of a meter reading system is unlimited;
6. The model is installed near by meters so that it can transmit data by shorter distance,measure more accurately and reliablely.
7. It can read datas from pulse meters and 485 meters;
8. It also can support PLC LAN
