Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric energy metering instruments, in particular to a real-time clock synchronous error correction method for a fee-controlled intelligent electric energy meter. Background technique [0002] With the use of single-chip microcomputers and smart chips in electric energy meters, multi-functional cost-controlled intelligent electric energy meters have also been more and more widely used. Since some functions in the cost-controlled smart energy meter require the cooperation of the clock, such as time-of-use measurement, automatic electricity settlement, etc., these functions involve the electricity measurement and settlement of the energy meter, so accuracy is particularly important. The clock plays an important role in it, so it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the clock.

[0003] However, when the existing cost-controlled smart energy meters are running, they need to read the time data from the external clock chip in real time

In the frequent communication process, since the communication signal with the external clock chip is transmitted in the physical channel, the random noise caused by the electrical characteristics of the line itself, the attenuation of the signal amplitude, the distortion of the frequency and phase, and the reflection of the electrical signal on the line are caused. Echo effects, crosstalk between adjacent lines, and various other external factors (such as lightning in the atmosphere, flashover of switches, changes in external strong current magnetic fields, fluctuations in power supply, etc.) will cause signal distortion

This will make the binary digits received by the microcontroller inconsistent with the binary digits actually sent by the external clock chip, resulting in errors from "0" to "1" or from "1" to "0".

In this way, the accuracy of the real-time clock will be affected, thus affecting the normal use of functions such as metering and settlement of the fee-controlled smart energy meter
