DLMS Response Returns BCD value

Gurux.DLMS

Hi everyone. I am reading OBIS 1.0.1.6.0.255 from a Hexing HXE310KP meter via GSM using Gurux.DLMS. I receive the following response packet:

00-01-00-01-00-10-00-09-C4-01-41-00-0D-03-17-93-80

I can see that the last three bytes correspond to the value I obtain when reading the meter using HexView software. However, when reading the same OBIS via Gurux, the value returned is only the BCD value 3.

What could be the cause of this discrepancy?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Hi, DLMS standards define…

Hi,

DLMS standards define that the BCD value is an Integer8 and its size is one byte.
This means that this is implemented incorrectly to meter. You need to ask if there is a firmware update available that fixes this.

BR,
Mikko
