DATA CENTRALIZATION
The direct reading of measured data is possible on each metering device thanks to analogical or digital displays, however this can be difficult or not conforming with tenant’s privacy in case of metering units installed in common condominium areas or even inside the apartments. In addition direct reading takes time, it is subject to inevitable mistakes and imposes the installation of metering units in positions easy to access.
Precisely for these reasons, Giacomini metering modules and satellites are fit with metering devices fit with a special interface for M-Bus communication, the European standard for remote reading of energy meters. The reading data are detected electronically, and can be sent on the communication bus; a concentrator periodically interrogates all M-Bus devices to collect consumption data and make them available locally or remotely for the sharing. Data reading becomes fast, convenient and possible at any moment also if the tenants are out.
