GXDLMSIECLocalPortSetup password 1, password 2, password 5

Hello Mikko,

As written in GXDLMSIECLocalPortSetup definition,

/// Password 1 according to IEC 62056-21.
/// Password 2 according to IEC 62056-21.
/// Password W5 reserved for national applications.

I read IEC 62056-21 and search over it, still can't find any cases of Password 1, 2 ,W5

There is one place C.4.7.2 Parameter data examples where password (from 1 to 8) mentioned (quoted below), but I can't see any connection with three password in class definition.
Don't you know what these password 1, password 2, password 5/W5 are intended for?

IEC Document 62056-21
C.4.7.2 Parameter data examples

D104 pass4_1 pppp 4 Character Password 1
D114 pass4_2 pppp 4 Character Password 2
:
D174 pass4_8 pppp 4 Character Password 8
D105 pass5_1 ppppp 5 Character Password 1
D106 pass6_1 pppppp 6 Character Password 1
D107 pass7_1 ppppppp 7 Character Password 1
D108 pass8_1 pppppppp 8 Character Password 1

Best regards, Andrew

Hi, Those parameters are…

Hi,

Those parameters are used so the user can have different access rights for the meter.
E.g. password 1 can be used to set the clock and password 5 can be used to write some other values.

IEC 62056-21 doesn't define them and meter manufacturers have used different ways.

Is it the same password(s)…

Is it the same password(s) that we need to fill in in GXDLMSDirector "device properties" dialog, "device settings - password" field?

Hi, DLMS and IEC are two…

Hi,

DLMS and IEC are two different protocols and the DLMS passwords are usually different than IEC passwords.
