OFFSET BASIC METER FOR AUTOMATED MANAGEMENT OF METERING OF A POWER DISTRIBUTION SERVICE

摘要

In an automated metering management system as part of an electrical distribution service, a remote basic meter (130) includes: a metrology unit (353); a breaking device (355); a power line communication unit (354); and a control unit (352). The remote basic meter (130) communicates with a centralizing meter via an on-line power line communication network, the centralizing meter being a proxy device in the automated metering management system on behalf of a plurality of such remote basic meters. . The control unit (352) processes atomic commands coming from the centralizing counter from among the following set of atomic commands: time-setting command; opening control of the cut-off device (355); command for closing the cut-off device (355); command to send with a centralizing counter a count index reading; and command to send the state of said remote basic counter (130).
