GWFcoder®-Technology
In the GWFcoder®system, the individual rollers of the mechanical register are read out optoelectronically. The position of the various long asymmetrically arranged slits in the roller counters is scanned using 5 light barriers (lightpipe transmitter and receiver). The light barriers are implemented with phototransistors. LEDs, and light conductors, which are all consecutively scanned and evaluated. The precisely defined position of each individual roller counter is encoded as an absolute roller counter reading and read out as a part of the protocol via the GWFcoder® interface. This functioning principle is patented by GWF. The GWFcoder® interface, compared to a meter with a pulse output, has an incomparably higher level of information content and readout accuracy. A GWFcoder® register does not require a battery, which, in turn, does not compromise existing revision cycles. The readout device supplies the power for the readout.
Moreover, all products with multiprotocol functionality provide the flexibility to switch between wall readout (inductive or CL), Wired M-Bus or radio readout which leads to an easy and fast «Plug & Play» installation on site.
