Gas and Water Metering with the PIC16F91X Family

From Microchip Technology, Inc.
 

 
Electronic utility meters are an important step towards automating the utility metering process. Automated utility meters allow many new features that help reduce the cost of utilities to customers and reduce the cost of delivering utilities to the utility provider. The primary utilities metered are electricity, water and gas. Water and Gas are measured with very similar systems while electric meters are very unique. Electric meters measure the power consumbed at a customers site. This type of meter is very easy to convert into an electronic version using an MCP3905 single-phase power metering IC.
