GSM based Automatic meter reading is the technology of automatically collecting data from
energy meter and transferring that data to a central database for billing and/or analyzing. The
Transmitter circuit is connected to the meter which counts the pulses from it and displays it over
the LCD display. The transmitter circuit containing a GSM modem for data transforming, which
transforms the meter reading after each 10 pulses to a particular number through SMS.
An additional advanced service is also available, which includes the software operating on the
computer. This software shows the updated reading. User has to put the unit rate and date of
billing, and then this software automatically calculates the bill and also print it if printer is
connected to computer.
Working:
In this GSM based Automatic meter reading, a led is connected in parallel to the ‘cal’ led of meter
reading. This led is paired with a LDR, which acts as an Optocoupler. the output of LDR is
connected to the base of NPN transistor and the collector output of transistor is connected to the
pin P1.0 of micro-controller. So at each blink of led of meter reading, a signal is passed to the
micro-controller to count the pulses of meter reading. Then micro-controller updates the reading
and displayed it over LCD and also saves to the EEPROM. The LCD and EEPROM are
connected to port 0 of micro-controller. For transferring the data a GSM modem is used, which
sends SMS to the particular mobile number defined. The micro-controller is programmed to send
the SMS after every 10 pulses of meter reading. The MAX232 is used to interfacing GSM
modem, there is another GSM modem is also available which doesn’t required MAX232, it can
directly connected to micro-controller
