    Abstract

    ![CDATA[A system of automatically interrogating metering without the need for site visitation has many advantages, both to the supplier and to the consumer. This paper presents a case study of the design of such a system starting from scratch. The system design begins with interfacing the metering to a communications system. The development of an interface for an automatic meter reading system is described. In this case study, the power lines in a power system are used as the communications channel. A smart meter is the source of power data and communicates with a logging PC when interrogated. What is involved in the initial design process is described. Serial communication is used to collect the instrument data and to communicate with the logging PC. Specialised circuits in this design that make use of FSK are identified and the entailed implementation problems are described. Measurements of the interface's output is given.]]
