The system is a combination of zigbee and gsm technology.
Zigbee based electric meter reading system.
Meter reading is wirelessly transmitted to base station.
The system is a combination of zigbee and gsm technology.
The system is suitable with malaysian environment which was already implemented gsm based amr in lpc.
An amr system based on cc2420 is designed.
This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter.
Automatic meter reading amr is the technology of automatically collecting consumption diagnostic and status data from water meter or energy metering devices gas electric and transferring that data to a central database for billing troubleshooting and analyzing.
Gsm based automatic meter reading system is a succor.
The hardware implementation was designed and then analyzed the use cases for electric meter.
In this propose system zigbee module will be attached to the meter by using interface board and the data collector will be connected to the central computer by using gsm.
In the present work zigbee based automatic meter reading amr unit is designed to continuously monitor the meter reading and to shut down the power supply remotely whenever the consumer fails to pay the bill.
Let us see how this works.
Consumer node is composed of electric meter arm processor liquid crystal display lcd and a zigbee module operated at 2 4 ghz ism band.
Base station is composed of a computer with zigbee module.
Abstract a networked wireless amr automatic meter reading system based on wireless sensor networks and zigbee technology is presented in this paper for solving the problems existed in the existing meter reading system.
We will take example of zigbee display which works with zigbee smart meter meant to read electricity consumption.
Today electric meter water meter gas meter are available based on zigbee technology.
The smart meter based on zigbee is not limited to just meter reading but it has many applications.
In this propose system zigbee module will be attached to the meter by using interface board and the data collector will be connected to.
