Hi,
Can I read an Elgama EMS meter using protocol IEC 62056 ?
Because I am trying to connect with DLMSDirector but it does not work.
Do you have any solution for that?
Thank you very much!
Elgama EMS using protocol IEC 62056
Hi,
Meters do not answer if server or client address is wrong.
Because we do not have this meter you can try with this:
Select Landis+Gyr and try to connect. If this fails, change starting protocol from IEC to DLMS.
If it still fails let me know.
BR,
Mikko
Elgama EMS
Hi,
We sent inquiry for the manufacturer but they newer answered.
If your meter is Gama 300 there is a DLMS label but we do not know settings.
ELGAMA - Optical probe - problem with meter response
Dear Kurumi,
I am trying to receive data from an ELGAMA meter through optical probe, and I am using the native software to compare the sent and received strings with the GURUX.DLMS.Conformance.Test.
I modified a piece of code, in order to avoid changing to "MODE E", this way:
byte controlCharacter = (byte)'1';// "2" HDLC protocol procedure (Mode E)
//Send Baudrate character
//Mode control character
byte ModeControlCharacter = (byte)'1';//"2" //(HDLC protocol procedure) (Binary mode)
After this, I made the respective changes for BaudRate. Nevertheless, I haven't been able to accomplish the same response than the one on the native software.
In my attempts, I cannot get this very last part: .P0.().`
The native software response is the following.
You will notice a piece of response that I included, which is the part that differs from the Gurux response, where I suspect the problem is placed. This process apparently makes a purge of the buffers in some specific flags locations, that is not made with the Gurux code.
Is this problem familiar to you?

ELGAMA - Optical probe - problem with meter response
Hi,
Your meter is using 62056-21, not DLMS. That is totally different protocol. You can't use GXDLMSDirector or GURUX.DLMS.Conformance.Test tool to read your meter.

ELGAMA - Optical probe - problem with meter response
Thank you for your reply.
So, it is not possible to communicate with this meter with the Gurux resources?
Any guess of how I can accomplish that?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You can use software from the meter manufacturer or made your own.
We are not supporting IEC 62056-21 because there are so many variations between the meter manufacturers.
