Meter Reading Recorder for Electricity Board using GSM Techniques

This is the era of wireless communication. One can get any information on mobile within seconds. We can communicate with near and dears with SMSs using GSM. Keeping this huge impact of GSM technology on this generation we think about use of it for remote parameters monitoring system. We are developing the system for lectricity !oard. The system will get the meter readings of different "lats in a building and send them to a Main #nit. Main unit will send the received meter reading to server of lectricity !oard using SMS and GSM techni$ues. The basic working of the system will be as follows%

"re$uency of the pulses depends on power consumption. Optocoupler is added in between meter and controller to isolate high voltage and low voltage circuitry. 1,2 will show the

corresponding meter reading. 'bee module is used to transmit meter reading to main unit.

GSM Modem$

A GSM/GPRS modem is a wireless modem that works with GSM/GPRS wireless networks.
This System implements the emerging applications of the GSM Technology. Using GSM Mobile a control system has been proposed that will act as an !mbedded system which can monitor and control appliances and other de"ices locally Using b#ilt$in inp#t and o#tp#t peripherals.

After connecting a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a serial port yo# can control the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem by sending instr#ctions to it. The instr#ctions #sed for controlling the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem are called AT commands.

AT-Command set
The following section describes the &T4,ommand set. The commands can be tried out by connecting a GSM modem to one of the *,5s ,OM ports. Type in the test4 command% adding ,6 7 1" 8,arriage return 7 1ine feed 9 :r:n; before e<ecuting. Table gives an overview of the implemented &T4,ommands in this application. The use of the commands is described in the later sections.
