The invention relates to an intelligent meter reading system which comprises a plurality of electric meters, a collector and a main station of the system, wherein the electric meters are used to collect electric quantity of users, meter the electric quality, measure required quality and record incidents, supports time-sharing meter and communicates with data collector by a power line carrier; the collector is used for intelligent relay management, implementing communication with the electric meters and the main station of the system, communication routing management of the electric meters and data storage. The main station of the system is used to realize stable bidirectional communication with the collector and the plurality of electric meters, read data in the collector, collect electric energy information and configure the collector and time, period rate, and electric meter parameters of a low hanging electric meter. The invention realizes the sable bidirectional communication between the main station and the intelligent electric meters, electric energy information collecting and adjusting meter parameters by a transmission media. The intelligent meter reading system has the advantages of overall functions, stable operation, friendly interface and good expansibility, and is an important technical method for realizing user side management. The invention greatly improves the management efficiency and economic benefits of the power department.
