With the continuous expansion of urban heating systems and the increasing complexity of pipeline networks, achieving remote monitoring, intelligent scheduling, and efficient maintenance of heating networks has become a critical challenge for heating enterprises and operation departments. Traditional manual inspections and localized monitoring are not only costly and inefficient but also struggle to respond promptly to emergencies. The ARM-based Embedded Remote controller, with its low power consumption, high reliability, and flexible scalability, provides an ideal solution for the digital management of heating networks.
ARM embedded remote controllers BL370 are deployed at heat exchange stations, regional nodes, and main pipeline sections, connecting to various sensors for temperature, pressure, flow, valve position, and pump status. Data is collected through interfaces such as RS-485, 4-20mA, pulse, and M-Bus. The controller performs data cleaning, aggregation, and preliminary analysis at the edge, securely transmitting critical data and alerts to heating scheduling, metering, and maintenance departments via Ethernet or 4G networks.
Real-time collection of supply/return water temperature, pressure, flow, and energy consumption data, providing a comprehensive view of heating network operations.
Equipped with anomaly detection and a rule engine, the controller can issue local alerts for issues like insufficient temperature difference, abnormal pressure, or sudden flow changes, reducing reliance on cloud systems and improving response speed.
The scheduling center can adjust pipeline balance based on real-time data, automatically optimizing valve openings and pump operation modes to enhance heating efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Accurate collection of regional heat meter data, enabling multidimensional energy consumption analysis and report generation to support user billing and energy efficiency evaluation.
When equipment anomalies or alerts are triggered, the system automatically pushes information to maintenance departments, enabling automated work order dispatch and reducing fault resolution time.
