Retrofit unit for leacy meter communication

The design is based on Microchip™ PIC 12F508 Microcontroller. There are any legacy meters which are used in electrical system. The common types are Electromechanical Meter or Moving Disk Meters. There are also vast number of Static Energy Meters. These meters do not have any communication capability for Automatic Meter Reading System. When the electrical system needs to be automated, then these meters also need to be added in the network.

The retrofit unit is designed to do just that. It collects the input pulses from the optical sensor by measuring the revolution of the rotating disk, or it measures the optical LED pulses from the electronic meter. The retrofit unit then converts the pulses into the energy units and then transmits them on serial port. The meter constant that is used for this conversion is user programmable. It can be programmed using a serial port. This port can be connected to a piggy back boards for Power Line Carrier Communication (PLCC) or Radio Frequency communication (RF) or Telephone communication (PSTN) or MODBUS™ communication or Optical Communication or GSM communication or Local Area Network (LAN).
