Abstract

A method collects data via a sensor being part of a supply network which distributes a consumable. The sensor contains a measuring element which provides elementary measuring units, which correspond to a variable or a parameter, as raw measurement data, where consumption data are generated from the elementary measuring units. The sensor has a communication device and a storage device. To determine the measurement resolution of the sensor, the conditions for generating time stamps are determined using a correlation model. Time stamps of successive raw measurement data are generated in the sensor based on the correlation model, the time stamps are transmitted via a wired connection and/or via a radio path, with the result that the raw measurement data acquired by the measuring element are reconstructed and evaluated on the basis of the time stamps using the correlation model. The consumption data are transmitted in parallel with the time stamps.

Dependent claims

A method for collecting data during operation of at least one local sensor being part of a supply network intended to distribute a consumable, wherein the at least one local sensor containing a communication device, a storage device, and a measuring element providing elementary measuring units corresponding to at least one physical or physico-chemical variable or at least one physical or physico-chemical parameter, as raw measurement data, which comprises the steps of:

generating consumption data from the elementary measuring units;
and
determining conditions for generating time stamps in advance using a correlation model in order to determine a measurement resolution of the at least one local sensor;
generating the time stamps of the raw measurement data in the at least one local sensor on a basis of the correlation model;
transmitting the time stamps via a wired connection and/or via a radio path, with a result that the raw measurement data acquired by the measuring element are reconstructed and evaluated on a basis of the time stamps using the correlation model;
and
transmitting the consumption data in parallel with the time stamps.
