Dear Gurux Manager
Hi

I use gurux.net and gurux.dlms C# for Read my devices
but i cant handle multiple meter read with an open port

i use this for open port :

GXNet server = new GXNet(NetworkType.Tcp, 777);
server.HostName = "x.x.x.x";
server.Port = 5060;
server.Open();
server.OnClientConnected += OnClientConnected;

and OnClientConnected method is:

GXNet server = (GXNet)sender;
try
{
using (GXNet cl = server.Attach(e.Info))
{
ReadMeter(cl, e.Info))
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}

in this case when the second meter is connected, it waits until the first meter is disconnected.
How can I read all these together?

thanks.

Hi,

You need to create a thread in OnClientConnected that then reads the meter. In that way, it's not blocking the connection.

Something like this:
GXNet media = server.Attach(e);
Thread thread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(ReadMeter));
thread.Start(media);

BR,
