  2. Is It Possible To Use DLMS Library As An Interface For Reading Data Locally?

Is it possible to use DLMS library as an interface for reading data locally?

One of the subsystem of the meter I develop exchanges data based on the OBIS codes. Since the meter already uses the DLMS library to communicate via various means (optic port, radio frequency, power line), I was curious if it is possible to interrogate the data model from within the meter, using the library as an API rather than having a 'server-client' relationship.

Is there a way that would let me read the objects' data/values using their respective preRead/postRead routines directly, without formally connecting to the meter? Data read similar to "cosem_getValue" would be perfect.

I am using the C version of the library.

Hi, No, that is not possible…

Hi,

No, that is not possible. You need to use DLMS to communicate with the meter.

BR,
