Abstract - There is an increased demand for a reliable
generally associated with many disadvantages. Since a service technician has to go to the premises and read out all the values of the meters. The resident should be also present to allow the service technician to read out the meter values, which is non-convenient. The manual reading also leads to errors, since the service technician is always under stress and has to read out the values in a short time. It is a tedious task. Also when meter reader is recording the electricity usage in the premise, he may come in contact with live wires possibly in dilapidated building premises. This motivates us to think about making a system which saves time and ensures safety of meter reader. The design process of our project title ‘Instrumentation Network Protocol’ is solely based on microcontroller.
and efficient Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system. Our project ‘Instrumentation Network Protocol’ aims to replace traditional meter reading methods and enables remote access of existing energy meter by the energy provider. Normally, Electricity department sends employees to take meter reading every month, which is an expensive and time consuming job. The proposed project provides a convenient and efficient method to avoid this problem. The electricity department and the user can get the readings of the energy meter of consumers via SMS using GSM technology. A microcontroller input is effectively interfaced to a digital energy meter (using I2C Protocol) that takes the reading from the energy meter and displays the same on an LCD.
Key Words:
Automatic Meter Reading System (AMRS), GSM, Eagle software, SDCC
There is always chance to improve any system and therefore our system is no exception to this phenomenon.
1. INTRODUCTION
The following improvements can be done…
Instrumentation is a general term for measuring instruments such as indicators, measuring and recording physical quantities. Instrumentation networks are basically industrial communication networks that allow any automated devices or instruments to exchange data with other systems dedicated to the measurement. Protocols defines ways in which different communicating entities interact. In today’s era, electrical power has become one of the most important necessities for survival and progress of mankind. Apart from efforts to meet growing demand, automation in the energy distribution is also necessary to enhance standard of living. So there is an increased need for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems which collects meter readings electronically. In existing meter reading techniques in India, an electromechanical meter is fixed in the premise for measuring the usage.
1. Further this project can be interfaced with a non volatile memory IC like EEPROM so that the user can change the mobile number as per the requirement. 2. Also a new interactive, user friendly graphical user interface developed using Microsoft visual studio .NET framework and C#. With proper authentication, users can access the developed web page details from anywhere in the world.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY For this proposed system we surveyed and analyzed existing meter reading techniques in India through various IEEE papers like- In, Nayan Gupta and Deepali Shukla, "Design of Embedded based automated meter reading system for real time processing", Electrical Electronics and Computer Science (SCEECS) 2016 IEEE Students', the authors presented a new embedded technology based approach for automated energy meter reading system is proposed which enables the meter readings to be updated onto the web server automatically on a regular interval basis and sends bills to customers
The meters currently in use are only capable of recording kWh unit which are recorded by meter readers monthly, individually. The recorded data is then processed by a meter reading computer loaded with developed meter reading software and information required for conducting the reading. Each meter reader has to read approximately 300-500 meters daily. The manual meter reading is
