1 Product Overview

DAQ-GP-IRMODBUSRTU infrared meter reading terminal is a device launched by Shanghai DAQ IoT Technology Co., Ltd. that converts State Grid electricity meters using DLT645/698 protocols into the Modbus communication protocol. It can collect electrical parameter data such as energy, voltage, current and power factor from State Grid electricity meters.

Brief introduction to the infrared meter reading principle: the infrared optical probe periodically reads the parameter information of the smart meter through the infrared optical port and uploads it. The infrared meter reader has the function of infrared signal modulation and demodulation: it modulates a binary digital signal into a pulse sequence at a frequency of 38KHz and drives an infrared emitting diode to send it out in the form of infrared light pulses; the transceiver converts the received light pulses into electrical signals, which after amplification and filtering are sent to the demodulation circuit to be demodulated back into a binary digital signal. After message parsing, it is converted to the Modbus protocol, which can be read by other host computer software.

This terminal supports meter reading scenarios for various meters with infrared communication interfaces, such as electricity meters and gas meters. It is suitable for electricity meter data acquisition, smart city data acquisition, power monitoring data acquisition, energy-saving and emission-reduction data monitoring systems, energy consumption monitoring systems, PV systems, intelligent monitoring, robots, smart security systems and cloud platform systems; and for electricity meter calibration and testing benches. It is especially suitable for PV power generation system energy meter reading and for meter reading when the main meter of a State Grid electricity meter is in a completely sealed state with no seal allowed to be opened.
