Each SmartMeter™ consists of a solid-state meter, an advanced SmartSynch module and a communication device. These components work in conjunction to become an intelligent client to SmartSynch's Transaction Management System™ (TMS) or other head-end system. The ANSI standard meter provides all standard metering functions and acts as the database for the integrated device by storing metering data in ANSI tables. The SmartSynch module is responsible for monitoring various tables within the meter, executing scheduled tasks and monitoring for power outages or other alarm conditions.
The SmartMeter System is designed for SmartMeters to operate in an autonomous manner, having responsibility for monitoring both interval schedules (daily, weekly, etc.) and exceptions. In this way, data can be sent from the device in near real time. This model differs from traditional metering models in which each device is polled remotely by a head-end software system. SmartSynch has built its technology to integrate into multiple leading meter platforms.
All SmartMeter components work in conjunction to become an intelligent client for the head-end application. The ANSI C12.19 meter provides all standard metering functions and acts as the database for the integrated device by storing metering data in ANSI tables. The SmartSynch module is responsible for monitoring various tables within the meter, executing scheduled tasks and monitoring for power outages or other alarm conditions.
