REMOTE READING OF TAX INSTRUMENTS

М-bus (Meter-bus) is a new European standard for remote reading of tax instruments, and different types of sensors. The reading is accomplished in several different methods - from direct reading of current indication of the instruments to fully remote reading of all devices in the net by GPRS technology. The use of M-bus interface allows fully electronic reading of data with all the benefits - (creation of databases for each user and making of detailed reports; making of statistical reports for optimization; connection of all instruments in one unified net by two-wire cable with unique address for each device on the net; fast reading of data from tax devices (approximately reading time for 250 units is less than 5min.), avoiding the subjective errors; decreasing expenses of the supplier and users of communal services; avoiding of trespassing in private territory by employees of the supplier; allows instruments to be placed in hard-to-reach places for human readability; the reading can be done in very small intervals, saving the security and confidentiality of read data, practically avoiding the manipulation on purpose of the tax instruments and measured data.
