MSEB AUTOMATIC BILLING

[attachment=16967]

INTRODUCTION 



The proposed system is based on LPC 2148 which
in our syllabus,By using software like,

Embedded C for programming the application software to the ARM processor.

PROTEL schematic software for designing the circuit diagram.

EXPRESS PCB software for designing the PCB.


WORKING PRINCIPLES


This system uses VB Basics software, which is designed as the application platform to send or receive SMS using the Modem, then process and stores the data.

In this project the arm processor & the GSM unit is interfaced with the Energy meter/water meter of each house. Every house has a separate number, which is given by the corresponding authority. The GSM unit is fixed in the energy meter/water meter. 



The amount of consumption is stored in memory authority as SMS. Using this software we can send the SMS through Modem to that particular number which is assigned by these authorities and wait for the response.


On other end the modem will receive the data in the form of a command and informs the arm processor to do the readings. After the readings the arm processor will send data to the modem. Modem, in turn sends data to the other end. In the office the GSM unit will receive the data and the VB software will calculate the total consumption. The number assigned by the authorities is Unique. Using GSM we can get the response very fast due to which time is saved. After completion of the pulse the power will cut again consumer wants to send an SMS for recharge.
 

ADVANTAGES


Automatic Billing.

Reduced Human Efforts.

Protocol Based System.

Wireless System.

Reduction In Cost.

Error free communication.
This is to reduce illegal power usage with out paying the money.
