  2. Reading Multiple Meters Within One Connection

Reading multiple meters within one connection

Hello,

if I have a cascade of meters sharing a common gateway or communication device (IP), is it possible to read out these different devices within the same IP connection or has a separate connection to be made for every device?

Regards,
Christian

My plan at the moment is to…

Unfortunately, I can't try this out on a real device at the moment. But I think I have to use separate instances of GXDLMSReader for each device (each with the appropriate physical address), which share a single GXNet instance.

Hi Christian, You are right…

Hi Christian,

You are right. Each connection needs its own instance from GXDLMDClient, or GXDLMSReader in your case.

Our clients are reading meters using the same TCP/IP connection so you can do it, if you only create your own GXDLMSReader for each meter.

BR,
Mikko
