Reducing readings time problem

Dear Director,

I am handing over this current deployment to this team.

basically, I have connected a KSA meter using DLMS to a RPi using rs485, it is reading very well, but, it reads every one complete minute, is there a way to reduce the time to seconds.

I really appreciate you support.

Hi,

You can save the association view to the file. I believe that is the reason why establishing the connection is taking so long time.

Dear Mikko

Thank you,

I am now able to read and push to my platform every 5 seconds.

I really appreciate your support.

Hi,

If you need to read data more often you can keep the connection up between the reads.

If you keep the connection up, you can read data every second. Meter will close the connection at some point, but it's OK. When the meter closes the connection you need only restart the connection.

Hi,

The client application must be up all the time. It will call InitializeConnection when the application is started or you don't receive a reply from the meter. Pseudocode is something like this:

InitializeConnection();
while(1)
{
//Read data from the meter.
sleep(1000);
}
Disconnect();

Hi Nezar,

This is the common way to do it and it's fast to implement if you don't need to read data continuously.
