Telemetering system for electrical power consumed by various users
First Claim
1. A telemetering system for electrical power consumption by individual users who previously have been supplied with a conventional meter of the type comprising a disk whose revolutions are correlated with consumption, the meter having at least one mark thereon, the system comprising:
- (a) a pulse generator for each meter comprising;
(i) at least one optical sensor capable of detecting the passage of the mark during rotation of the disk and of sending a detection signal;
(ii) a circuit for detecting the detection signal;
(iii) a revolution preselector in which the number of revolutions of the disk is preset and corresponds to a predetermined quantity of power;
(iv) a frequency divider which is connected tothe revolution preselector and to the circuit for detecting the detection signal and which receives and meters the detection signal and sends a consumption signal to a line adaptor when the value of the signal from the detection signal corresponds to the quantity of power present in the revolution preselector;
(v) the line adaptor sending the consumption signal to;
(b) a meter concentrator comprising a connection bus which connects together;
(i) at least one analog/digital converter block which receives the consumption signals from more than one pulse generator;
(ii) a microprocessor with its program memory;
(iii) duplicated non-volatile memory means;
(iv) means for external communication having at least one series line, said series line being connected to;
(c) reading means comprising a connection bus which connects together;
(i) a microprocessor with its program memory;
(ii) duplicated non-volatile memory means;
(iii) clock means;
(iv) first means for communicating with a central computer, which means receives the signals from at least two meter concentrators;
(v) a second means for communication between the reading means and external peripherals.

Abstract
The telemetering system for electrical power consumed by various users converts the units of electrical consumption for each user into signals which may be transmitted and may be read by the corresponding microprocessors, those of a group of users being sent to a concentrator with its corresponding microprocessor, memory and program in order to go, in a star structure, increasing in scale and volume, to other concentrators or reading equipment and be able to end up in a central computer of the electricity distributing company.
