Gurux.DLMS

Hello everyone
Currently i am working on DLMS Smart Meter , here I have Elster Meter and i am trying to connect but it showing me same error every time.
well it was working perfectly fine before one month but i moved on another project and now it showing me "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time" every time.

One more very interesting issue is ,i tried to connect with GURUX software but without USB connection with the meter i mean without any connection with the meter and i click on Connect button on GURUX software and after 3 4 seconds it showing same error "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time".

so with connection or without physical connection with meter i am receiving same error.

Parameter and everything i am using same that i was using before.

Please check and guide me.

Thanks
Muhammad Nouman

Hi,

Hi,

"Failed to receive a reply from the device in given time" means that client didn't receive any reply from the meter. That also happens if there is no connected meter.

One of your settings is wrong or the Elster meter doesn't support DLMS. Is there a DLMS label on the cover of the meter?

Mikko

Hi,

Hi,

Then the problem is in settings.
Check this video:

I hope it will help you to find the correct settings. Check especially the baudrate. That can be anything.

Hi,

Hi,

It might be the server address, especially if you are using the RS-485 bus. Usually, it's client address or wrong serial port settings.

Hi,

Hi,

Check your cable if this is the same meter that you were using before.

Hi,

Hi,

Check your serial port settings and cable. I believe that the reason is one of those.
