IEC CIM Advanced Metering Infrastructure

The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a system of smart meters for energy and water utilities that connects to data management systems through computer networks. AMI enables the 2-way exchange of data between the consumer and the utility company. Some examples of the uses of AMI are:

• Automated, remote meter reading
• Remote control of thermostats and other controls
• In-house energy monitors for the consumer
• Equipment monitoring, fault detection, and outage alerts

The Probe for IEC CIM Advanced Metering Infrastructure publishes a web service using the SOAP and WSDL technologies, to collect AMI events generated by devices and element management systems (EMS) that are compliant with the IEC 61968-9 and IEC 61968-100 standards.
