Smart Water Metering
Bài toán
Water meters in basements and shafts are read by hand or estimated, causing billing disputes and hiding leaks until the bill arrives.
Tổng quan giải pháp
MILESGO gateways collect data from water meters, M-Bus meters, LoRaWAN wireless sensors over M-Bus / LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU, and deliver it to the billing system, a cloud platform (MQTT), the energy management system as MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP. Field equipment keeps its own protocol and control logic; integration is done by configuration and point mapping, not custom code.
Typical scope
- water meters
- M-Bus meters
- LoRaWAN wireless sensors
Protocol path
M-Bus / LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU → MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP
Implementation checklist for the project manager
- M-Bus: check unit loads and cable length per segment; 2-wire M-Bus gateways need a 24 V DC supply.
- Run a LoRaWAN coverage survey and pick the regional band (EU868 / US915 / AU915 / AS923 / KR920 / CN470) before ordering.
- Record CT ratios, meter IDs and multipliers in the point table; wrong multipliers are the usual cause of billing errors.
- Configure NTP so trends, alarms and meter readings carry consistent timestamps.
- Fix a site / asset naming convention before the first site so data from all sites can be compared.
- Roll out in phases: pilot one site or area, confirm data quality, then replicate.
Project deliverables
- Signed point table and protocol mapping
- Gateway configuration files and backups
- IP address plan and network drawing
- FAT and SAT test records
- As-built documentation and operator training
Kiến trúc hệ thống
Field layer: water meters, M-Bus meters, LoRaWAN wireless sensors, connected over M-Bus / LoRaWAN / Modbus RTU. Edge and integration layer: MILESGO protocol gateways and edge controllers, mounted on DIN rail in existing panels, polling each device, time-stamping values and buffering them locally. Upper layer: the billing system, a cloud platform (MQTT), the energy management system, which receives the data as MQTT / Modbus TCP / BACnet/IP. Remote access for maintenance runs over VPN rather than open internet ports.

Các bước triển khai
- 1
Site survey and point list
Inventory devices, protocols, register maps, panel space, power and network paths.
- 2
Design and point table sign-off
Map every point to the target protocol and system; agree it with the client and the upper-system contractor.
- 3
Configuration and FAT
Build the gateway configuration off site, simulate it and test against the signed point table.
- 4
Installation and wiring
Mount gateways on DIN rail, wire RS-485 / I/O / Ethernet, apply the IP plan.
- 5
SAT and alarm tests
Verify values against local readings, test every alarm and command end to end.
- 6
Handover and support
Hand over configuration backups, point table and as-built documents; train operators.
Giá trị cho khách hàng
