Abstract :
On the way to a totally integrated automation system not only functional process data are of importance. Nowadays, where increasing the efficiency regarding resource consumption of buildings and production plants is a big topic, centralised access to data provided by Smart Meters plays a significant role. This work presents first steps towards the integration of M-Bus-based metering devices into management applications in automation systems by means of OPC Unified Architecture.
