| With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, house meters, such as ammeter, water meter, gas meter and heat meter are used more widely. At the same time, reading the meters has become a mass and troublesome work. Traditional ways no longer adapt to the development of society any more. However, with the help of computer technology and communication technology, it's possible to read meter automatically. All kinds of AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) systems come to existence, which not only substitute the manual work but also establish the base for better service.This paper primarily introduced the design and realization one kind of copying meters in intelligence system, which is a remote AMR project based on the meter-bus, computer technology, automation and micro-electronics technology. The system used the intelligent terminal meters of advanced technology and M-BUS as hardware structure. The software used Client/Server mode. We choose SQL Server 2000 for its DBMS and Visual Basic6.0 to develop the client software. The software system realized automatic meter reading, calculating fee and many other functions for uptown management, improve its management level and automation degrees. |
