The article examines the justification of the parametric method of information transmission for the construction of energy resource consumption control systems. It is shown that the system of accounting for energy resources should be a distributed multi-level system of measurements, processing, storage and transmission of commercial accounting data and should be built on the principles of open architecture and distributed functioning. It is shown that the organization of hierarchical complexes for solving control tasks depends to a large extent on the issues of effective information transmission and that the creation of information networks is the most difficult task. sensors, into a voltage proportional to it and the corresponding binary code. The structural diagram of the device implementing the specified principle is presented. A method of calculating the parameters of the device for transmitting information from two-position sensors is proposed and an example of calculating the parameters of such a device is given
