To an additional one advantageous embodiment of the invention Verbrauchsermittlungs-, analysis and control system, the system has at least one Slot for an LC display and a control panel. This is especially for the mobile Use of advantage.

To an additional one advantageous embodiment of the invention Verbrauchsermittlungs-, analysis and control system, the system has a battery-backed Real-time clock on.

To an additional one advantageous embodiment of the inventive method for consumption determination, Analysis and control is the system via Ethernet and / or RS485 cascadable or networkable.

Further Advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the following description, the drawing and the claims.

description of the embodiment

1 shows a schematic representation of the consumption determination, analysis and control system according to the invention 1 ,

This serves the PC independent Acquisition and storage of measurement data, such as indoor and outdoor temperatures, Electricity and gas meters, water consumption (water meter), and their evaluation (analysis) for consumption determination (for example the consumption determination over the duration of an oil burner) one of residential and commercial real estate and combines the necessary components in a very compact design.

The consumption determination, analysis and control system 1 has at least one temperature sensor input 2 for measuring the temperature 3 (Indoor, outdoor temperature)), at least one transmitter input 4 for 0 to 10 V for a transmitter 5 For example, for a gas, air humidity, wind speed sensor, or the like. and at least one (preferably eight) digital input 6 for a 0 or 1 pulse 7 to capture static and dynamic events. The measurement data are taken by the on a board 8th located datalogger and the data analyzer 9 recorded, stored and analyzed. Storage can also be done on a memory card (compact flash card) 10 respectively. About a slot 11 for a modem or a GSM module, the remote reading of the collected data and their evaluation takes place. In addition to the possibility of remote programming, faults (alarm) and general event-related message of the operating status are also transmitted via this. Via at least one (preferably four) digital output 12 An event-related control of consumption takes place. The digital output 12 is event-related by temporal and / or state and / or value-related data for switching on or off, for example, signalators, boilers, water pumps, or the like. programmable. To increase the ease of use is at least one expansion port 13 provided to the a LC display 14 and a keypad 15 is connectable. Networking with a PC 16 , additional consumption determination, analysis and control systems 17 and / or the internet 18 via LAN connection 19 is at least one interface 20 (Ethernet, RS485) available. Also conceivable is an additional serial interface (MBUS) for reading MBUS-capable counting devices.

All Features shown here can both individually and in any combination with each other invention essential be.
