Electricity meter remote reading techniques and prototype development

Key Words: Electricity Meter, serial communication, RS485, IEC 61107Nowadays, electricity is one of the most widely used type of energy. Along with the commong usage of it, An automation is needed in reading meters to measure the electricity energy. In this study ,the measuring devices and meters which are used in electricity energy measurement, are examined, information relevant to automatic meter reading automation is given information about automatic meter reading automation made with remote reading technology. The applications made in our country and in the world are introduced.Serial communications, RS-232 and RS-485 communication issues used in this study, are mentioned. The communication standards of electronic electric meter have been examined, and information regarding Modbus and IEC-61107 communication protocols have been provided..In this study, the automatic meter reading system has been designed on the base of previous applicaitons. Remote reading software has been improved by using the IEC 61107 Mode C protocol for this system and it is enabled to store the data in database to be examined by the help of this software. The web services have been prepared for the share of read meter data.
