What is the point of supporting the two profiles : HDLC and ip with wrapper in the smart meter , I think the hdlc profile is enough and use external modem to communicat with ip network ?
Thank You for your response .
we can't use hdlc profil with an internal modem ? I think there are some meters with internal modem but ip wrapper not supported . What do You think about that . Thanks in advance
Yes, you can use it, but DLMS meters are usually using WRAPPER when communicating over TCP/IP. There are a few older meters that are using HDLC with TCP/IP.
I believe you can use it, but WRAPPER is lighter than HDLC and for that reason, it's used in TCP/IP connections. There is no checksum, etc in WRAPPER that are in TCP/IP layer.
It's not possible to say because I don't know what kind of meter you are making.
If you communicate with WRAPPER, you need to send fewer packets to transfer all the data.
I m talking generaly about any meter , if the playload is bigger in wrapper than hdlc , so ii think t s better to communicate with hdlc profil but logicaly there is some useful informations with wrapper , is that true ?

Hi,
Hi,
If there is an internal modem on the meter WRAPPER is normally used, but if you are using an external modem they use HDLC.

ah okey
ah okey
So the system AMM or the software must support the same profil configured on the meter side to communicate with each other ?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Hi,
Yes, both client and server must support the same profile.

thanks M. Mikko
thanks M. Mikko
I want to know also why it is preferably to communicate with wrapper profil in the case of the integrated modem ?

Payload is bigger when using WRAPPER.

Hi
Hi
You want to say :" Payload is bigger when using HDLC " ?
BR
Hi,
Hi,
No, the payload is bigger in WRAPPER than HDLC. In HDLC there are extra bytes that decrease the payload.

So in this case , It s better

Hi,
Hi,
The same information is in HDLC and WRAPPER framing. If you are using WRAPPER you can send fewer frames when communicating with TCP/IP.
