Abstract:To meet the real-time testing requirements of usage amount which the supply department concerned, in this article, a multi-functional smart meters data collector is designed based on ARM and GPRS. In the data collector, S3C2416 microprocessor is used as control core and RS485 bus is used to collect the parameters of water, electricity, gas and heat that from the monitoring system of smart tables. The communication among data collector, collection centers and users is depend on GPRS for it has the advantage of extensive coverage and mature technology. The experiment proved that the data collector has the function of data collecting, monitoring and user’s SMS inquiring for different types of smart meters. It can connect GPRS net quickly and complete the interacting with centralized management system accurately.
