Renesas smart meter (single phase) reference solution

summary

Electricity meters are rapidly evolving into electronics as a need to prevent theft of electricity and automatic meter reading (AMR). In recent years, with the advancement of energy conservation and environmental protection, in order to realize a smart grid that uses energy efficiently at the local level, smart meters that control various indoor devices through electric meters are expanding in various places. The electric meter is becoming a gateway for home communication, and is moving toward high performance and high functionality.

The installation of the meter from the factory to the field requires the operation of a built-in battery, and only the low power consumption of the real-time clock (RTC) operation becomes more important. In addition, in order to satisfy the infrared communication at the time of AMR and table lookup, a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) is required for communication between prepaid cards.

The R8C/Lx series in the Renesas MCU product line has a built-in 3-channel UART to meet the various communication methods required for smart meters, and low power consumption through built-in RTC. In addition, the large-capacity memory can support the high functionality of smart meters. Other built-in on-chip oscillators (OCO), watchdog timers (WDT), LCD drive control circuits, etc. reduce the number of external components, resulting in low cost.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, the world has the freshest oxygen ... 

Yu Quan's "Deep Breath" is well known to us, but as the environmental problems become more and more serious, the haze sky also increases, PM2.5 PM10 and so on Vocabulary has also been mentioned more and more, and air purifiers have quickly become popular on the market with this "air quality" trend. Along with this, the air-clean brand has sprung up, and various technologies are dazzling. Which ones are indeed effective and which are just tasteless propaganda? How does the Air Purifier bother us to get rid of pollution? And look at the editors for you.

Analysis of air purifier

The critical value of PM2.5 content is 75 μg / m3

The pollutants in the air mainly include soot, total suspended particulates, inhalable particulates (PM2.5) and fine particulates (PM10). The smaller the diameter of the particulates, the deeper the part that can enter the respiratory tract. 10 micron diameter particles It is deposited in the upper respiratory tract, and particles below 2 microns can penetrate 100% into the bronchiole and alveoli.

1k-5k air purifier prices vary greatly

The air purifier products on the market not only have various functions, but also have prices ranging from thousand yuan to tens of thousands. The pricing of imported products is generally higher than that of domestic brands. Except for the core technology of many brands, the promotion of purification effects is similar, and consumers need to choose according to demand.

The air quality standard of 74 key cities is only 4.1%

According to the data of the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on June 4, according to the new "Ambient Air Quality Standards", the six pollutants SO2, NO2, PM10, PM2.5, CO and O3 were evaluated, 74 new standards In the first phase of monitoring and implementation, the proportion of cities that met the ambient air quality standards was only 4.1%, and the other 256 cities implemented the old air quality standards, and the proportion of cities that met the standards was 69.5%.

Air purifier Air Cleaner Home air purifeir sales increased by 90.5% compared with last year

According to a report recently released by the China Electronics and Information Industry Development Institute, due to the haze weather, air purifiers have become the most concerned home appliance products, with sales of nearly 2.4 million units nationwide last year, a year-on-year increase of 90.5%; retail The amount reached 5.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 105.9%.

HEPA filter needs to be replaced in March

The filter of the air purifier is the same as the filter of the water purifier, and it is not effective for a long time. After long-term use, the accumulation of dust on the surface of the filter will also cause the filter to gradually fail. Therefore, when the haze is more serious, the non-washable HEPA filter needs to be replaced every three months.

Merchants claim that the purification rate is more than 99% for the concept of stealing

99% or even 99.99% seems to have become a slogan for many air purifiers on the market. Many brands of products promote their high removal rate of PM2.5 and formaldehyde. In fact, this kind of publicity is more of a kind. The slogan of stealing the concept, the removal rate of 99% is the effect of the material itself on PM2.5 and formaldehyde, not the effect of actually running in space.
