The invention discloses an embedded energy data acquisition unit, which comprises a main board and a shell, wherein a central processing unit (CPU), a data acquisition module which is connected with the input/output (I/O) interface of the CPU and a wireless functional plug-in are embedded into the main board; the CPU is an embedded processor which is based on a WinCE operating system, supports anOLE for process control (OPC)-service data specification and a real-time database, is solidified with a data acquisition communication protocol, directly acquires energy data through the data acquisition module, and acquires information data in a terminal instrument and field equipment for displaying and storing; the shell is connected with a human-computer interface display, and is provided witha human-computer interface input unit interface which is connected with the CPU and is used for writing working parameters or inputting operation commands; and through an Ethernet port for connectinga communication network with a monitoring station, a storage equipment interface, an input/output interface and a power supply interface can be expanded. The data acquisition unit is suitable for data acquisition and monitoring of places where mains supply is difficult to reach such as forecasting of hydrology, real-time monitoring of water resources, monitoring of irrigated areas, environmental monitoring, pollution monitoring, urban water supply, monitoring of pipe networks and the like.
