Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of water meters, in particular to a communication control method and a communication control system of a novel water meter.
Background
The traditional electronic control device for the water meter mostly adopts an NB-IoT communication mode to carry out data communication with a platform. Because the data volume needing to be reported is small, and the real-time requirement on data reporting and command issuing is not high, the adopted communication strategy is that the communication module is in a shutdown state most of the time, long network connection does not need to be maintained, and the communication module basically has no power consumption at this stage. When data needs to be sent, the communication module is awakened, dial-up connection and data communication (including data reporting and platform issuing command receiving processing) are executed, and the communication module enters a power-off state again after the execution is finished. To reduce power consumption, the time interval for data communication is typically long (e.g., one day). Meanwhile, data encryption and identity authentication mechanisms are mostly absent in the data communication process. This communication mode is suitable for the conventional electronic control device of the water meter.
With the development of the related technologies of intelligent water meters, new water meter types and related systems of multi-parameter water meters have appeared. Besides the most basic water meter metering function, the multi-parameter water meter also has the functions of water quality detection, water pressure detection, leakage detection, working condition detection and the like, and can send alarm information in time so that related workers can process the water meter as soon as possible. Therefore, the communication mode and the communication control system suitable for the traditional water meter cannot meet the requirements of large data communication quantity, high communication real-time property and high communication safety of the multi-parameter water meter. And if the real-time data receiving and sending between the multi-parameter water meter and the platform are kept, the power consumption of the multi-parameter water meter is overlarge. Considering that most of multi-parameter water meters adopt a battery power supply mode, the large power consumption shortens the battery replacement period of the multi-parameter water meters, the maintenance cost is improved, and even the application scene is restricted.

Referring to fig. 3, another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention provides a communication control system for a novel water meter, including:
the system comprises an instruction acquisition unit 10, a sleep mode setting unit and a sleep mode setting unit, wherein the instruction acquisition unit is used for acquiring a first control instruction and a second control instruction, the first control instruction is used for controlling a communication module to establish communication connection with a remote platform, and the second control instruction is used for controlling the communication module to enter the sleep mode;

In a further implementation manner of this embodiment, the data communication task includes: the data of water gauge upload the task, correspondingly, the communication confirms that the unit specifically is used for confirming whether there is the data of water gauge to upload the task, and the data that has the water gauge when confirming is uploaded the task and then control and awaken the communication module and with the data transmission of water gauge to remote platform through the communication module, does not have the data of water gauge to upload the task and then keeps the communication module is in the dormant mode when confirming.
In a further implementation manner of this embodiment, the data communication task includes: the communication confirmation unit is specifically used for confirming whether the task of the remote platform issued instruction data is received or not, when the task of the remote platform issued instruction data is confirmed to be received, the communication module is awakened and the remote platform issued instruction data is received through the communication module, and when the task of the remote platform issued instruction data is not confirmed to be received, the communication module is kept in a dormant mode.
In a further implementation manner of this embodiment, the communication module establishes a communication connection with the remote platform through dialing, and the communication control unit is specifically configured to control, based on the first control instruction, the communication module to send a request for establishing a communication connection to the remote platform through dialing until the communication connection is established with the remote platform.
Specifically, in a communication module management task, an embodiment of the present invention is a power consumption optimization method for a communication module, and is used to assist in controlling the total power consumption of a system in cooperation with a collection and reporting main task. The communication between the communication module of the multi-parameter water meter and the platform selects a 4G LTE CAT1 mode, and due to the special requirements of the multi-parameter water meter, large data volume transmission needs to be realized and the real-time performance of two-way communication needs to be ensured, the communication module of the multi-parameter water meter cannot be always in a shutdown state as the conventional water meter, but needs to keep long connection of a basic communication link, so that the communication module of the multi-parameter water meter is most suitable for working in a sleep mode with relatively low power consumption when no data communication exists at ordinary times (in the sleep mode, the module can be awakened at any time to actively report data, and the communication module can also be awakened in real time by. Therefore, the control of the power consumption of the multi-parameter water meter communication module is mainly embodied in the control of the communication module in the dormant mode.
The specific control flow of the embodiment of the invention is shown in fig. 4:
1. after the communication module is powered on and started, the communication module firstly enters a normal mode by default and carries out dialing work. In the process of dialing, a main switch allowing the entering of the sleep mode is turned on through the setting of a related AT command, and the control of the sleep mode by the main control board in the following steps is realized through the level control of a DTR pin of the communication module.
2. If the dialing fails for a plurality of times continuously, the time interval of the redialing is gradually prolonged in a step-type mode. In this interval, the communication module is controlled to enter a sleep mode or a power-off mode to reduce power consumption because the communication module does not need to perform any action, and then the communication module is awakened or turned on again at the next redialing moment.
3. And after the dialing is successful, the communication module executes network connection operation, and after the network connection is established successfully, the communication module is controlled to enter a dormant state by default due to no data communication task.
4. And at the moment when the data reporting platform is needed, actively waking up the communication module to carry out data reporting (and historical data reissuing) operation, and timely controlling the communication mode to reenter the dormant state after the operation is finished.
5. When receiving the command issued by the platform, the communication module can be automatically awakened, and after the issued command is received, the communication module can automatically enter the dormant state again, so that the communication module does not need to be controlled by the main control panel.
6. In the communication module sleep mode, if the main control board judges that the dial-up connection state is abnormal, or the main control board does not receive a packet back from the platform for a long time, or the communication module loses response, the communication module is actively waken up to the normal mode, and corresponding module resetting and dial-up connection processes are executed again.
Through the process, the power consumption of the communication module can be controlled at a lower level on the premise of ensuring that the communication function meets the requirement.
For example, the following steps are carried out: taking the remote EC200S communication module as an example, the module communicates in a 4G LTE CAT1 mode, the current is 14-15 ma in the idle mode, and 1-2 ma in the sleep mode, by switching the communication module to the sleep mode, the power consumption of the module in the idle mode can be greatly reduced on the premise that the communication function meets the requirements of a multi-parameter water meter (data length connection is maintained, sleep reporting data can be awakened in real time, and the data can also be awakened in real time by a command issued by a platform).
If the single chip microcomputer is in a continuous acquisition and reporting mode, the communication module is awakened and sends data for 1 time every 1 minute, and the awakening time is 10 seconds every time, the time of the communication module in the sleep mode accounts for 83%; assuming that the single chip microcomputer is in a discontinuous acquisition and reporting mode, the communication module is awakened and sends data for 2 times every 10 minutes, and the awakening time is 10 seconds each time, so that the time of the communication module in the sleep mode accounts for up to 97%. Because the multi-parameter water meters mostly work in a discontinuous acquisition reporting mode, the continuous acquisition reporting mode is a mode executed when the water quality is abnormal, the occurrence probability is very low, and the probability that the platform issues a command to perform valve control intervention and wake up the module is also very low, the time occupation ratio of the communication module in the sleep mode can be generally up to more than 95 percent (the sleep time occupation ratio can be further increased by increasing the acquisition period), the average current consumption of the multi-parameter water meters can be reduced by 12-13 milliamperes, the effect of saving the power consumption through the sleep mode of the communication module is very obvious, and the cost in other aspects is almost not needed.
If network abnormity occurs or the module is abnormal, continuous dialing connection of the multi-parameter water meter fails, the time interval of redialing connection is gradually prolonged in a step mode, the communication module is switched to a dormant mode or a shutdown mode in the time interval, and power consumption surge caused by frequent redialing due to long-time quitting of dormancy can be effectively prevented, so that the power consumption of the communication module can be maintained at a stable level under the abnormal condition.
After the singlechip fails to continuously dial for many times, because the probability of success of continuous dialing attempt in a short time is very low, the number of the continuous dialing attempts is gradually increased to once per hour for redialing under the control of the singlechip after a period of time, the communication module is awakened for 1 minute each time during dialing, and the modules in other time periods are in a dormant mode or a shutdown mode. In general, under such an abnormal condition, the time ratio of the communication module in the sleep mode or the power-off mode can still be maintained above 98%, and the effect of maintaining the power consumption of the communication module to be stable is significant.
The control method aiming at the low power consumption mode of the terminal communication module can be used for a multi-parameter water meter, can further expand the range of the multi-parameter water meter, and can be used for various application scenes which are sensitive to equipment power consumption, need data communication with large data volume and high frequency, and need data real-time reporting and real-time response platform issuing commands.
