Starting off with DLMSDirector and a Holley Meter (HLS-5/GMAC)

Hi,

I'm having a hard time getting started with DLMSDirector and my Holley meter.

Obviously, I don't have the DLMSDirector settings configured correctly for my meter which uses HLS-5 and GMAC.

I get the following error message and log when I try to "Connect":

Thanks for any help.

Also, is there any DLMS…

Also, is there any DLMS query I can make to this meter which does not require security, encryption, or authentication?

Hi, Can you connect with…

Hi,

Can you connect with authentication (Authentication level is None)? If you can't I believe that your serial port baud rate is wrong.

If you can connect, then the client or server address is different than the meter expects. The correct addresses should be on the meter documentation. If you don'thave the documentation, you can use HDLC address resolver to find correct addresses.

Thanks, Mikko.

That got me further, but I'm still getting errors:

Hi, Your meter is replying…

Hi,

Your meter is replying invalid data. Try with a different baud rate.

BR,
Mikko

Hi Mikko, I am much further…

Hi Mikko,

I am much further along now. Thanks to you.

The serial port is working now. The problem was that the meter did not like my FTDI-based serial cable. It wanted a CH340-based one.

With Security Suite: Suite0 and Security: None, then I can Connect to the meter fine.

BUT, with Security Suite: Suite0 and Security: Authentication, then I get the error message and logs below.

Any ideas how to get past this hurdle?

I have the Logical Name Referencing box checked in GXDLMSDirector --> Device Properties --> Device Settings --> Logical Name Referencing box checked.

Thank you!!!

Hi, If you want to use…

Hi,

If you want to use secured connecction you must change the client address. Add -c CLIENT_ADDRESS where CLIENT_ADDRESS is integer value e.g. -c 1.

I also believe that you needs to use -C AuthenticationEncryption argument.

Hi, Your client address is…

Hi,

Your client address is something other than 17. You need to check it from the meter documentation.

BR,

Hi Mikko, When my Security…

Hi Mikko,

When my Security is set to None:
(Device Properties --> Secured Connections --> Security Suite: Suite0 and Security: None)

I can Connect and Read the meter fine with no error messages, so I think I have my Client Address set correctly to 0x10 = 16 decimal.

If I change Security to Authentication, Encryption, or AuthenticationEncryption, I get the following error message.
(Device Properties --> Secured Connections --> Security Suite: Suite0 and Security: AuthenticationEncryption)

Connection is permanently rejected. The application context name is not supported.

Help, please.

Hi, Each authentication and…

Hi,

Each authentication and security level has its own client address. 0x10 is used when neither authentication nor security is used.

If you want to use security you must use a different client address. Only the meter manufacturer document will describe what address you should use.

If you don't have the documentation, you can try to use HDLC resolver to find the correct address.

Hi Mikko, Thanks. That's…

Hi Mikko,

Thanks. That's what I needed to hear.

Below is a captured communication between the same(?) Holley Meter and another client device (not the DLMSDirector).

It should be showing a successful "Get Clock" query with "HighGMac".

Does this mean that the Client address needed in DLMSDirector is "32" ?

Does any other information in this capture below, like <TargetAddress Value="156" />, show what I should be using for any other DLMSDirector settings to get DLMSDirector to work with this same Holley Meter?

Thank you!

Hi, Change the client…

Hi,

Change the client address to 32. You might also need to change the server address to 156, but it might work with default value 1.

Hi Mikko,

I tried that, and it didn't work. Same error message.

Any other ideas, please?

Hi Mikko,

I tried "set MaxInfoRX and MaxInfoRX to 242", and it did not work either :(

It looks like the main difference between DLMSDirector (that did not work) and the DLMS client board that worked is in the "AARQ frame".

The main difference seems to be the "MechanismName Value". For the successfull DLMS client board, this value is set to "HighGMac".
On the other hand, DLMSDirector sets this value to "None".

Is there some way I can get DLMSDirector to set "MechanismName Value" to "HighGMac" ?

I have already tried:

Security Suite: Suite0 with Security: Authentication
Security Suite: Suite0 with Security: Encryption
and
Security Suite: Suite0 with Security: AuthenticationEncryption

Thank you!

Hi Mikko,

I clicked on the update option between "Conformance Tests" and "Help" at the top of GXDLMSDirector and restarted GXDLMSDirector, but I still do not see a "GMAC" option for authentication.

Hi Mikko,

I updated the "New Device Manufacturer settings", but still there was no option listed for GMAC Authentication using "Manufacturer: Holley Metering Ltd".

So, I tried GMAC Authentication using "Manufacturer: EMH metering GmbH". And, it worked !!!

Connect/Read Object/Disconnect worked.

So, perhaps this thread can be closed now, but I will definitely have more questions for you on how to encrypt and decrypt the messages.

Thank you!

Hi,

Remove this folder from your PC.
C:\ProgramData\Gurux\OBIS

All the device settings are updated after that.
