Remote automatic meter reading is a technology of remote data acquisition and meter reading through network, which can greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of data acquisition and meter reading. As a network device connecting the terminal device and the server, the industrial routers is one of the important devices to realize remote automatic meter reading. The following are the steps to realize remote automatic meter reading based on the industrial router:
To select a suitable industrial router, the special requirements of remote automatic meter reading should be taken into account, such as anti-interference, anti-vibration, anti-electromagnetic interference, etc. In general, industrial routers should have high reliability, high performance, and rich interfaces.
Connect the network to connect the industrial router to the network, which can be connected by wired, wireless, etc. In general, wired connections are more reliable, while wireless connections are more flexible and convenient.
Configure the industrial router. Configure the industrial router according to the actual requirements, including network parameters, security policy, flow control, etc.
The connection device connects the data acquisition device to the industrial router, which can be wired or wireless. After connection, remote control, data acquisition and other operations can be carried out on the equipment through the router.
Configuring remote access For remote automatic meter reading applications, it is necessary to configure the remote access function, which can realize remote access and control through VPN, remote desktop, etc.
Data processing and storage The industrial router uploads the data to the server, and the server processes and stores the data. Centralized management and backup of data can be achieved through cloud platforms and other means.
Monitoring and maintenance is very important in the application of remote automatic meter reading. Through the network management function provided by the industrial router, the remote monitoring and maintenance of the equipment can be realized, and the work efficiency and safety can be improved.In a word, to realize remote automatic meter reading based on industrial router, it is necessary to select the appropriate router, connect the network, configure the router, connect the equipment, configure the remote access, process and store the data, and monitor and maintain it.
