Through comprehensive interference testing methods, product defects and weak links can be effectively discovered, the risk of on-site operation can be reduced, and product quality can be continuously improved. Therefore, it is necessary to control different interference devices through the equipment control module to perform interference tests on the meter to be tested. The equipment control module calls the equipment dynamic link library to control the electric energy meter calibration device, variable frequency voltage regulator, constant temperature and humidity test chamber and other equipment, as well as the power control cabinet, load control cabinet and real load to achieve the test conditions. The equipment control module integrates the dynamic link library instructions of each device, realizes the control of the equipment by calling the equipment dynamic link library, and configures the quick interface of voltage regulation, current regulation and temperature regulation to realize the rapid operation of the equipment.

[0027] Specifically, the overall control system includes a communication module, which establishes a communication connection with the electric energy meter under test to realize information interaction of 485 communication and carrier communication. In the field application of electric meters, HPLC modules and dual-mode modules are widely used. These two modules will generate radio interference and spatial radiation conduction during the communication process, which will affect the electric meter. Therefore, it is necessary to test the electric meter for radio interference. This embodiment simulates radio interference in the field environment through the design of the communication module. The communication module adopts a dual-mode module. The dual-mode module has power line carrier and RF radio signal. During the test, power line carrier signal spatial conduction and RF radio signal interference are generated to simulate radio interference in the field environment.

[0028] Specifically, the electric energy meter calibration device is equipped with a standard meter and an error meter to measure the electric energy error and clock error of the electric energy meter under test, and can output voltage and current through the ARM signal source. The voltage and current loops can both superimpose harmonic signals to simulate the harmonic influence of virtual loads. In the prior art, the communication module generally sends a reading instruction after the network is successfully established. The electric energy meter module responds to the instruction and performs passive reading with the electric energy meter. The communication module program of this embodiment can be configured as an active meter reading mode (self-sending mode), that is, there is no need for the master station or the concentrator CCO routing module to issue instructions, and actively reads with the electric energy meter in a fixed frequency and fixed instruction mode.

In the complex environment on site, the operation stability and reliability of the meter product are particularly important. The anti-interference ability of the meter is an important manifestation of product reliability. Improving the anti-interference ability is an important way to increase product reliability. Through comprehensive interference testing methods, product defects and weak links can be effectively discovered, the risk of on-site operation can be reduced, and product quality can be continuously improved. Therefore, it is necessary to control different interference devices through the equipment control module to perform interference tests on the meter to be tested. The equipment control module calls the equipment dynamic link library to control the electric energy meter calibration device, variable frequency voltage regulator, constant temperature and humidity test chamber and other equipment, as well as the power control cabinet, load control cabinet and real load to achieve the test conditions. The equipment control module integrates the dynamic link library instructions of each device, realizes the control of the device by calling the device dynamic link library, and configures the quick interface of voltage regulation, current regulation and temperature regulation to realize the rapid operation of the device.

[0039] Specifically, the overall control system includes a communication module, which establishes a communication connection with the electric energy meter under test to realize information interaction of 485 communication and carrier communication. In the field application of electric meters, HPLC modules and dual-mode modules are widely used. These two modules will generate radio interference and spatial radiation conduction during the communication process, which will affect the electric meter. Therefore, it is necessary to test the electric meter for radio interference. This embodiment simulates radio interference in the field environment through the design of the communication module. The communication module adopts a dual-mode module. The dual-mode module has power line carrier and RF radio signal. During the test, power line carrier signal spatial conduction and RF radio signal interference are generated to simulate radio interference in the field environment.

[0040] Specifically, the electric energy meter calibration device is equipped with a standard meter and an error meter to measure the electric energy error and clock error of the electric energy meter under test, and can output voltage and current through the ARM signal source. The voltage and current loops can both superimpose harmonic signals to simulate the harmonic influence of virtual loads.

In the active meter reading mode, the network is stopped, the frequency band is switched to 0.7~3M, and a fixed meter reading instruction is sent to the electric energy meter at a frequency of 1 time / second. During this period, whether the communication is successful is not assessed. Through continuous communication instructions, continuous power line carrier signal spatial conduction and RF radio signal interference are simulated.

[0041] Specifically, the variable frequency regulated power supply outputs industrial frequency voltage, and the back end is connected to a real load to simulate the harmonic impact of a typical real load.

[0042] Specifically, the communication module includes an MCU control core, which controls the carrier transceiver module and the RF transceiver module to communicate and interact with the electric energy meter; the communication module has a passive meter reading mode and an active meter reading mode, and the MCU control core determines whether to enter the active meter reading mode according to the communication address of the electric energy meter; in the active meter reading mode, the networking is stopped, the frequency band is switched to 0.7~3M, and a fixed meter reading instruction is sent to the electric energy meter at a frequency of 1 time / second, during which the communication is not evaluated whether it is successful, and continuous power line carrier signal space conduction and RF radio signal interference are simulated through continuous communication instructions. The communication address of the electric energy meter in the test state is 1111111111111, and the passive meter reading and active meter reading modes are realized through the judgment of specific module program design. After the module is powered on, it will automatically obtain the communication address of the electric energy meter, and when the communication address is detected to be 11111111111111, the active meter reading mode is started, and the networking is stopped after entering the active meter reading mode, the frequency band is switched to 0.7~3M, and a fixed meter reading instruction is sent to the electric energy meter at a frequency of 1 time / second, during which the communication is not evaluated whether it is successful. The mode is determined each time the power is turned on again; otherwise, when other addresses are detected, the normal passive meter reading mode is restored.

[0043] Specifically, the MCU control core adjusts the output voltage and peak shaving factor according to the adjustable power parameters, combined with the voltage fluctuations of the on-site operation and the redundancy of the communication module to determine the transmission power of the module.
