DLMSDirector

Hello.

I found the following problem:

My timezone is UTC-6 (Mexico City) and I am runing DLMSDirector under Windows 10. When I update the meter current time zone using the clock object, DLMSDirector sends a 360 value instead of -360. If I change my time zone to UTC+6 (ex. Dacca) DLMSDirector now sends a -360 value instead of the expected 360.

I think that could be a problem with locales

Hi,

Hi,

DLMS standard defines time zone from normal time to UTC, not UTC time
http://www.gurux.fi/Gurux.DLMS.Objects.GXDLMSClock

If you want to use UTC time zone, select "Use UTC time zone, not standard" from "Advanced" tab in meter settings.

BR,
Mikko
