Power Data Concentrator

ARM Solution Overview: The power data concentrator, along with remote smart meters and data collectors, forms a remote meter reading, control, and management system. The concentrator is a data aggregation device for a meter reading area, used to collect and store data from water, electricity, gas, and heat meters. The concentrator has both an upstream and a downstream channel. The upstream channel can use GPRS wireless, telephone line, or wired LAN to achieve remote communication with the management center. The downstream channel uses low-power wireless, RS485, or pulse methods to collect, process, and store data from the collectors under its jurisdiction. The AM5728 core board can easily implement all the necessary functions for a concentrator.
