Design And Implementation Of A Remote Wireless Meter Reading System

With the continuous development of urban infrastructure,and the importance of the four meters include of water meter,ammeter,gas meter and heat meters which are related to people's life are highlighted unceasingly.The process copying the data automatically has become more and more important.In this process the problems occurred have become a research hotspot.A remote wireless meter reading system is designed based on the new technologies: wireless sensor network system,ZigBee technology and GPRS mobile communication network technology.First of all,this paper describes the theoretical basis of the wireless meter reading system.The functional requirements and performance requirement are analyzed,and then the system hardware and software system are designed.After the completion of the design,the communication performances in wireless networks are tested by adopting the card data and control data.Through the analysis of the test results show that the basic functions of the system have been achieved and meet the requirements of the actual application process.Compared to the existing meter reading system the design of remote wireless meter reading system based on wireless sensor network,ZigBee technology and GPRS technology have several advantages.Firstly,data copy is accurate,timely and efficient;Secondly,convenient installation and maintenance,no wiring;Thirdly,network structures and operation achieve a low cost,low power consumption,good flexibility.
