A device that integrates multiple communication methods

Abstract

A device integrating multiple communication modes. The device comprises: a dual-mode communication module, an M-bus, an RS-485 bus, an LED indicator unit, a data storage unit, a real-time clock unit, and a central processing unit. The central processing unit employs a Cortex-M3 core processing chip to handle data processing and storage of the entire device. An 8M hertz external clock is employed to form a minimum CPU system having serial communication interfaces, such as UART, SPI, and IIC. The present invention enables transmission, receiving, and conversion of data from different gauges and meters, and realizes peripheral device control by means of conventional IO interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a communication device, in particular to a device integrating multiple communication modes. Background technique [0002] There are following deficiencies in existing communication devices: [0003] 1. Existing communication devices have a single communication mode and harsh on-site requirements, which cannot meet diverse application requirements, especially in old residential quarters, where information collection points are intricate and complex, and the application of a single technology faces great challenges; [0004] 2. The networking flexibility of the existing communication devices is small. Once the construction is completed, it is difficult to add and expand capacity, and there are signal blind spots, which cannot meet the requirements of full coverage of collection; [0005] 3. The existing communication device lacks the M_BUS bus interface, so it cannot supply power and communicate with passive meters such as wired...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Existing communication devices have a single communication mode and harsh on-site requirements, which cannot meet diverse application requirements, especially in old residential quarters, where information collection points are intricate and complex, and the application of a single technology faces great challenges;

[0004] 2. The networking flexibility of the existing communication devices is small. Once the construction is completed, it is difficult to add and expand capacity, and there are signal blind spots, which cannot meet the requirements of full coverage of collection;

[0005] 3. The existing communication device lacks the M_BUS bus interface, so it cannot supply power and communicate with passive meters such as wired water, gas and heat, and cannot realize integrated multi-meter collection of electric, water, gas and heat meters;

[0006] 4. The existing communication devices are used scattered on site, and the collection of electric, water, gas and heat meters is done independently, repeated construction, high construction costs, and difficult maintenance;

[0007] 5. The existing communication devices have their own networks and self-contained systems, which cannot realize user information sharing and form information barriers
