Abstract

In a method for detecting and transmitting power consumption data and/or fault messages in and from predetermined areas of power users into the area of a power provider, all power consumption data and/or all status values from fault message transmitters are automatically detected and represented as transmittable information flows which run opposite to the line-conducted power flows and are synchronised with these. To detect power consumption data and/or status values from fault message transmitters, a programmable remote reading process is used, in particular, whilst the transmission of these data and so forth into the area of the power provider for local evaluation and processing occurs either by means of telecommunication lines, by means of mobile data carriers or by transmission of telecontrol information items (TEMEX). In a device for carrying out this method, a remote reading centre (4) for automatic detection of the power consumption data resulting from the counts of meters (5) and/or of the status values determined by fault message transmitters (50) is arranged and connected to a transmission system (3) by means of which the information flows J(t) are transmitted into the area of the power provider (2) for local data evaluation and processing. <IMAGE>

Description

The invention relates to a method for detection and transmission of energy consumption data and / or of fault messages, being in predetermined areas of energy users the respective energy consumption due to conducted energy flows by means of spatially distributed counter, e.g. for gas, water, Heat, electricity etc., measured and / or the respective State values from spatially distributed sturgeon reporting agents can be determined.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a Device for performing this method.

Measuring methods or measuring devices for recording, distributing and accounting for heating costs, for example, Hot and cold water costs, electricity costs and gas cost an apartment, a practice, a hand factory operations or the like are already known.

In modern households, very different and needs numerous types of energy, for example Thermal energies for radiators, hot and cold water consumption, electricity and gas. The The corresponding costs are recorded by separate, different, sometimes inaccurate Measuring and display devices, e.g. Heating cost ver divider, water flow meter, electricity meter and gas flow meter. In general, the different types of energy from different Delivered to companies, e.g. from urban Gas works, electricity supply companies, Floor heating, shared house heating or district heating plants. Reading the individual Energy consumption measuring devices are also carried out by different people and the billing through the aforementioned, different energy  Suppliers. Difficulties arise Errors, for example due to human Inaccuracies in reading and offsetting on. For example, also when changing tenants in an apartment because the heating costs are usually for a full heating period can be calculated or for gas, water and electricity on a discount basis to be prepaid.

They are also electromechanical Remote counters such as Contactor counter, Sum remote counters, writing maximum works and Similar precision engineering devices already known. Because of these remote counters very high demands on their reliability the requirement arises after a correspondingly long service life of their mechanical components such as Amplifier motors, clutches, gears, planetary gears and the like. More, from which, of course, quite a bit technical effort results. The hereby are associated with high costs in many cases can no longer be described as justifiable.

Nevertheless, the known measuring methods are lacking or measuring devices at the desired optimal Interference and manipulation security.

The invention is therefore based on the object much improved method of recording all energy consumption in the area of one Energy user, especially in areas of Large customers, special customers, industrial companies etc. to indicate with which the respective energy consumption data recorded with optimal security and be transmitted without interference to the accruing  Calculate energy costs with maximum accuracy can; parallel to the acquisition and transmission of the Energy consumption data, but also if necessary irrespective of this, the procedure should also include Recording and transmission of fault messages due to the out in the field of energy users Fault indicators installed for safety reasons, such as. for fires, elevators, air conditioning, Environmental protection centers and the like in more optimal Way are made possible, taking additional measure such as Tariff switching, accelerated Billing, automatic energy billing from the measuring point to the calculation ungsstelle, delivery of measures for company analysis and statistics, leak detection in ver supply networks, initiation of maintenance in Cases of need and the like more in the procedure should be integrable. Ultimately, it should this procedure also ensures that human transmission errors, starting with Reading measuring points until the measured values are entered in data processing equipment, are eliminated and that finally the crowd of meter readers is reducible.

Based on a process of the beginning de Finished type, this task according to the Er solved in that all energy consumption data and / or all status values automatically recorded from fault signalers and as transferable and counter to the energy flows Information flows are shown, the Energy flows with the information flows syn be chronized.  

According to a further embodiment of the invention all energy consumption data and / or all Status values from fault signal transmitters by remote reading and in the form of information flows in the area of the energy provider to the local one Transfer evaluation and processing.

It is particularly advantageous if the entire data acquisition through a programmable Remote reading is done.

According to a development of the invention Process the energy consumption data and / or the status values from fault signalers in the form of quantized impulses or Counting pulses recorded and transmitted.

According to a further embodiment of the method the invention provides that simultaneously with remote reading of energy consumption data and / or status values from fault signaling devices remote monitoring, e.g. one programmed average energy consumption curve and one current consumption curve, and / or a distance  places, e.g. of energy flows, traffic flows, Air conditioners etc. and / or remote switching e.g. of heaters, lights, sirens, tariffs etc., and / or telemetry, e.g. of environment data, water levels, temperatures etc. and / or a Remote displays, e.g. for fire, emergency calls, police, Fault, gas, water, carried out and the ent speaking data into the information flows be fed.

In particular, in this case, for example an Ab detected by remote monitoring divergence of a recorded current energy usage curve from a programmed through Average consumption curve or daily consumption an error message is automatically generated will. Thus, if in the range of one Energy user energy consumption values uncorrected rise or fall, for example in an apartment for several days without an original no water is drawn automatically an error message or an emergency call is made.

On the other hand, there is within the scope of the invention according to the procedure still the possibility that a Self-generation of the daily consumption curve speaking of the average of the past according to a sliding integral. A Such possibility arises in the course of provided remote monitoring or remote displays, being the data provided by these measures then components of the transferable and to the Energy flows opposing information flows form.  

The same applies to those for remote setting and / or remote switching required or by a remote measurement data obtained.

Here, for example, a room temperature sensors for fire and freeze protection monitoring can be used, with an upper and a lower Limit can be entered and if this Limit values upwards or downwards exceeded will be a corresponding one Alarm signal given.

It is still the task of the present Er invention to create a device by means of which the method according to the invention can be carried out.

The invention thus also relates to a Device for the detection and transmission of Energy consumption data and / or fault messages, with in predetermined areas of energy users spatially distributed meters for measurement the respective energy consumption, e.g. Gas water, Heat, electricity etc., and / or with spatially distributed arranged alarms, e.g. Smoke detectors, fire alarms, gas detectors, etc., for detection of the respective status values.

This device is according to the invention characterized in that in the respective area of Remote control center to auto matical capture of the stems from the respective meter resulting energy consumption data and / or those determined by the fault signalers State values is arranged and that the remote reading center attached to a transmission system  is closed to transfer the energy flows synchronized, opposite In formation flows in the field of energy provider for data evaluation and processing there work.

It is particularly advantageous if the Remote reading center is programmable.

The device according to the invention, the essential part of the remote reading center is ensures the synchronization of each other opposing energy flows E (t) and the Infor mation flows J (t), with all energy ver consumption data and / or all status values Fault reporting devices in the form of quantized There are pulses or counting pulses in the range of the respective energy user is automatically recorded and transferred in the area of the energy provider will.

The device according to the invention therefore allows it also, much improved predictions for you expected energy consumption in the range of one To provide energy users, thereby creating a accordingly better utilization of existing ones Energy supply systems is ensured.

At the same time by the invention Device offered the possibility of energy consumption and thus also the energy costs minimize by the contractual possibilities when switching energy flows on and off be taken into account. In addition, there is Possibility that with the help of the device according to the  Invention timely disruptions in supply networks are detected and that their maintenance is initiated according to the respective plant status.

According to a further embodiment of the invention provided that the remote reading center verified Pulse generator counter with a predetermined number of Counter contacts for the different types of energy are connected upstream, these counter contacts on synchronizing, buffering counting module are connected via which each counter contact with one contained in the remote reading center electronic recycle counter is connected, and that the downstream of the remote reading center Transmission system through the booths of the re Holzähler immediately or, if necessary, after Caching can be applied.

In this case, each counting contact is preferred of a counter over a shielded twisted Two-wire line connected to the counter module.

It is also beneficial if each of these aforementioned counter modules via a shielded twisted four-wire cable to the remote reading central is connected.

As a result, the pulse generator meters supplied, in particular manipulations secured counting pulses in the form of current steps about the non-reactive, switchable and potential-free counter contacts via one each shielded twisted pair cable per Counting contact in the synchronizing and between storing counting modules and from here via a  shielded twisted four-wire cable to the each counter contact assigned re-counters in to the remote reading center.

A further development of the invention direction is that to each other same as the levels of a pulse counter and the assigned, in the remote reading center included recycle counters this about the ever some counting modules are adjustable.

Are a ver in the area of an energy user relatively large number of different Consumption points for a given one Number of independent energy or cost types available, then the device after the Invention in a modified form possess that the remote reading center one before given number of active measured value converters for Processing of analog and digital energy consumption measured values according to the different Energy types upstream, this Measured value converter each via nodes with a Ring and / or stub and via this with in the electronic remote reading center Re-voters are connected, and that the Remote reading center downstream transmission system through the counters of the loggers immediately or if necessary after intermediate storage is acted upon.

In this case, the measured values are preferred converters to the Knots of the shielded, twisted, four-wire Ring and / or stub line connected.  

With the help of the last modified one Device according to the invention, in which each of the active measured value converter e.g. up to four analog or processed digital measured values, results thus the possibility of a right when needed significant number of energy consumption data the area of an energy user, too transferred, monitored and evaluated.

According to a development of the invention Device are in the remote reading center too additional memory for the temporary storage of the status values determined by the fault signalers arranged.

According to a further embodiment, that the remote reading center with a serial Interface is connected to which a mobile Data carrier device for reading and transmitting the Stands of the re-counter can be connected.

According to a modified version of the device according to the invention is the remote reading central with a serial interface ver bound over which a connection of the remote reading to a TEMEX network termination, the with a connecting line for connection to a TEMEX transmission device is provided via which the stands of the re-counter as a telecontrol information in a TEMEX telecontrol station in the Area of the energy provider, the telecontrol station with an EDP the following document output is added.  

Because of this training, Fernab Reading center of the device according to the invention Function of a "telecontrol substation" with a TEMEX interface of the Deutsche Bundespost is compatible.

According to a further embodiment of the last mentioned Execution is still envisaged that in the TEMEX An additional one-bit interface is provided for the transmission of the in the Remote reading center cached time critical fault messages, e.g. Leaks, alarms, Power failure, tariff switching etc. via the TEMEX Transmission device in the telecontrol station serves in the area of the energy provider.

The remote reading center is thus practically over two serial interfaces to a TEMEX network finally connected, so that on the one hand not time-critical transfers of the recorded energy consumption data via the TEMEX network of the Germans Bundespost in the telecontrol station Energy company transferred as well on the other hand, the time-critical fault messages via the additional one-bit interface in parallel transfer the TEMEX network to the telecontrol center can be.

The German Bundespost sees TEMEX (Telemetry Exchange) in brief as an inexpensive and nationwide service to transmit telecontrol information to lead. The particular economy of this Service is through the additional use of the Telephone exchange lines achieved.

So far, it has been practically the case that the supplied by the energy supply companies Energies in general the respective meter readings must be read, which is considerable Involves effort, so that the readings valle quite large (e.g. in the order of a year). this in turn however, led to considerable difficulties in some cases because the difference between predicted and actual consumption become very large can.

By the present invention, the above abge explained disadvantages in full help.

The invention essentially achieved the following advantages:

• - Precise registration of counts and Impulses from fault signalers;
• - optimal preparation of the counting results;

• - detection of leaks in supply lines;
• - Maintenance request as needed (i.e. not after Routine).

To explain the invention in more detail, its further features and advantages are used by the following description in connection with the attached drawings, in which execution examples are shown.

It shows:

Fig. 1 shows schematically an overall view of a device data for the acquisition and transfer of energy consumption and / or alarm messages;

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a first embodiment of the device according to FIG . 1, essentially in the area of energy users;

Fig. 3 is a block diagram substantially corresponding to Figure 2, but with a certain modification. and

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a further embodiment of the device according to FIG. 1, essentially in the area of the energy user.

In the schematically illustrated in Fig. 1 Total an apparatus for detecting and transmitting view of energy consumption data and / or error messages is a portion of a power user having 1, a portion of an energy provider 2 and a transmission or transmission range for information flows between the regions 1 and 2 with 3 .

From the area of the energy provider 2 , the energy flows E (t) run into the area of the energy user 1 , while the information flows I (t) which run counter to the energy flows E (t) thus in the opposite direction, ie from the area of the energy user 1 into the Area of the energy provider 2 , as shown schematically in Fig. 1.

In the area of the energy user 1 , a remote reading center 4 , a legal-for-trade counter 5 with an integrated counter contact 6 and a counter module 8 are arranged, the counter 5 being connected via a line 7 to the counter module 8 and this being connected via a line 9 to the remote reading center 4 .

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the counter 5 naturally only acts as a representative for a predetermined number of meters arranged in the area of the energy user 1 for measuring the respective energy consumption. In a corresponding manner, the counter contact 6 integrated in the counter 5 merely represents an example of a number of counter contacts, for example four counter contacts 6 per counter 5 , which are used to measure the gas, water, heat and electricity consumption data by means of corresponding quantized counting pulses serve, as will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

Furthermore, a fault signal transmitter 50 is located in the area of the energy user 1 and the pulse-shaped status values emitted by it are fed to the remote reading center 4 via a line 51 .

The fault signaling device 50 is also only a representative of a larger number of fault signaling devices that actually exist. The remote reading center 4 thus automatically detects the energy consumption data resulting from the levels of the respective counters 5 and / or the status values determined by the fault signal transmitters 50 with regard to faults, power failures, tariff switching and the like. More.

The remote reading center 4 is connected via a connecting line 10 to the transmission system 3 , via which the synchronized with the energy flows E (t), opposing information flows via a schematically illustrated connecting line 11 in the area of the energy provider 2 for data evaluation and processing there be transmitted.

The schematic connecting line 11 is, for example, the connection to a dedicated line or to the connection to a telephone network with a modem or to a connection to a Datex-L network or to a connection to a TEMEX network of the Deutsche Bundespost.

If, for example, the transmission system 3 is a TEMEX transmission device, then an existing telecontrol station 12 in the area of the energy provider 2 is connected to this TEMEX transmission device 3 . This TEMEX telecontrol station 12 is then connected via a line 13 to an EDP 14 , while a document output 16 is connected to this EDP 14 via a line 15 .

The block circuit diagram according to FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the device according to FIG. 1, to the extent that it essentially concerns the area of the energy provider 1 .

In Fig. 2, the programmable remote reading center is designated 17 . A total of 8 units are connected upstream of this remote reading center 17 , each of which is composed of a calibrated pulse generator counter 5 and a counter module 18 . One of these units is shown in detail in FIG. 2.

The pulse generator counter 5 has four counter contacts ZK 1 , ZK 2 , ZK 3 and ZK 4 , which are used to measure the quantities of gas, water, heat and electricity consumed.

Each of these counting contacts ZK 1 , ZK 2 , ZK 3 and ZK 4 is connected to the counting module 18 via a shielded twisted two-wire line 20 that is as short as possible. For reasons of manipulation protection, each of the counter contacts is connected, for example, to two resistors, which is not shown in detail in FIG. 2.

Each counting contact ZK 1 , ZK 2 , ZK 3 and ZK 4 is connected via the synchronizing, buffering counting module 18 to an electronic repeat counter 21 contained in the remote reading center 17 , the counting module 18 being connected to the remote reading center 17 via a shielded twisted four-wire line 19 .

The lines to the counter contacts ZK 1 , ZK 2 , ZK 3 and ZK 4 can also be monitored for wire break or short circuit via the counting module 18 .

The setting of the log counter 21 in the remote reading center 17 can be done on this itself, via a serial interface 31 , as well as "on site", ie in the vicinity of the pulse generator counter 5 , specifically via the counting module 18 .

With this setting of the re-counter 21 , the levels of the pulse counter 5 and the re-counter 21 are matched to one another.

A line 22 used to set the re-counter 21 represents the connection between the counter module 18 and the re-counter 21 .

The status of the calibrated pulse counter 5 is entered, for example, in a device with the designation "Epson HX 20", which then automatically carries out any necessary correction in the repeat counter 21 and shows the result on the display in the device "Epson HX 20".

The further seven units 23 to 29 , each consisting of a pulse encoder counter with four counter contacts and an associated counter module, are connected to the remote reading center 17 in the same way as the unit described in detail above via four-wire, twisted and shielded lines corresponding to the four-wire line 19 . It follows from this that the remote reading center 17 can process a maximum of 8 times 4 = 32 counting contacts, ie can serve a maximum of 8 energy consumption points with four independent energy or cost types.

Correspondingly, the remote reading contains central 17 ; 32 six-digit log counters 21 . The remote reading center 17 polls the counting modules 18 cyclically every second, the selected power transmission practically excluding transmission errors.

The remote reading center 17 is supplied by a ge secured power supply 30 , which in turn is connected to the 220 V network.

This secured power supply 30 with battery backup ensures that the contents of the wood counter 21 are retained even for 24 hours in the event of a power failure.

If necessary, the stands of the 32 log counters can also be shown on an LC display.

In the remote reading center 17 there are also additional memories for temporarily storing the status values determined by the fault signal transmitters 50 ( FIG. 1), which is not shown in detail in FIG. 2 for the sake of simplicity.

As already mentioned, the remote reading center 17 is also connected to a serial interface 31 , via which the status of the 32 log counters 21 is read.

For example, a mobile data carrier device 32 can be connected to this serial interface 31 , with the aid of which the reading and transmission of the levels of the repeat counters 21 is carried out.

These meter readings can be read optionally but also done over telephone lines.

In order to be able to identify the respective remote reading centers in different areas of energy users, each is given a multi-digit identification number, which is automatically read when the meter readings of the log counter 21 are read.

For example, the connector of the mobile data carrier device 32 also contains corresponding codes if only certain types of costs or fault messages are to be read selectively.

From Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a device according to the invention, again a block diagram substantially in the range 1 of a power user is illustrated.

The block diagram of FIG. 3 corresponds to the extent of the block diagram of FIG. 2, as far as the connections of the units consisting of pulse generator and counting modules are concerned, which are then connected via a four-wire line 19 to the remote reading center 17 .

For the sake of simplicity, the relevant connections 19 are therefore only indicated schematically in FIG. 3.

Moreover, it is shown in Fig. 3 that the remote reading center 17 is connected not only with a serial interface 31, according to the embodiment of FIG. 2, but that the remote reading center 17 is further connected to a serial port, via which a terminal of the Remote reading center 17 to a TEMEX network termination 33 , which is provided with a connecting line 34 for connection to a TEMEX-Übermittlungsein direction in the transmission area 3 shown in FIG. 1.

In this embodiment, the remote reading center 17 is called up by the telecontrol station 12 ( FIG. 1) in the area of the energy provider 2 and then transfers the status of the 32 log counters 21 as telecontrol information to the TEMEX telecontrol station 12 . In particular, this transmission takes place via a string memory, which stores the values for a repetition until the TEMEX telecontrol station 12 confirms the correct reception of the transmitted information. There is again a secure power supply 30 for supplying the remote reading center 17 provided, which ensures secure data transmission.

In addition, an additional one-bit interface is preferably provided in the TEMEX network termination 33 , which is used to transmit the time-critical fault messages temporarily stored in the remote reading center 17 via the TEMEX transmission device 3 to the remote control station 12 in the area of the energy provider 2 .

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of an alternate embodiment of the apparatus of FIG. 1, again showing essentially the area of energy user 1 . This modified version of the device for recording and transmitting energy consumption data and / or fault messages is expedient if the number of energy consumption points in the area of an energy user increases significantly beyond eight if four independent energy or cost types are taken into account.

According to FIG. 4, the remote reading center 35 is preceded by a number of active measured value converters 36 and 37 , by which the passive counting modules 18 according to the block diagram of FIG. 2 are replaced. These active measured value converters 36 and 37 are used to process analog energy consumption measured values A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and A 4 or digital energy consumption measured values D 1 , D 2 , D 3 and D 4 accordingly the different types of energy.

Here, the measured value converters 36 and 37 are each connected via nodes 44 and 45 to a ring and / or stub line 42 and 43, respectively, and then via this to the electronic logging counter 35 contained in the remote reading center 35 , as already explained with reference to FIG. 2 .

In this exemplary embodiment too, the remote reading center 35 is supplied by a secured power supply 46 , corresponding to the power supply 30 according to FIG. 2.

The measured value converters 36 and 37 thus each process up to four analog or digital values, which they transmit serially to the remote reading center after being queried by the remote reading center 35 via the BUS.

The active measured value converters are addressed by eight bits on the circuit board, so that a maximum of 255 measured value converters can work on one remote reading central 35 .

The remote reading center 35 is in turn connected to a serial interface through which the remote reading center 35 is connected to a TEMEX network termination 47 . This TEMEX network termination 47 has a connecting line 48 for connection to a TEMEX transmission device (not shown in FIG. 4). In an embodiment according to FIG . In a corresponding manner, the remote reading center 35 according to FIG. 4 can also be provided with a serial interface 49 for a data recorder connection.

Thus, the TEMEX network termination 47 with the following connecting line 48 or a data recorder connected to the serial interface 49 can be acted upon immediately or, if necessary, after intermediate storage by the status of the re-counting counter in the remote reading central 35 .

It should also be mentioned that the active measured value converters 36 and 37 are each connected to the ring and / or stub 42 via shielded, twisted four-wire lines 40 and 41 .

On the other hand, the measured value converters 36 and 37 are each still connected to two-wire lines 38 and 39 , which are used to set the repeat counters contained in the remote reading center 35 , as has already been explained in detail with reference to FIG. 2.
