Gurux DLMS for Java

Hello,

I have a question regarding reading the data.

If I know that I want to ready "Ch. 1 Sum Li Active power+ (QI+QIV) Time integral 1 Rate 1 (0 is total)" from ProfileGeneric "Data of billing period 1" for many DLMS meters, what would be the best strategy to do so?

Thanks for you help

Hi,

If meters are supporting Push mechanism you can configure meters to send needed values.
If not, you need to make connection to the each meter individual and read wanted data meter by meter.

Should I use logical number

Should I use logical number or short number to retrieve it? Is this number the same across all meters?

Thanks

Logical name or Short name

Hi,

It depends from the meter what you want to read.

logical name/short name

Hi,
Let's say I want to read "Ch. 1 Sum Li Active power+ (QI+QIV) Time integral 1 Rate 1 (0 is total)" from ProfileGeneric "Data of billing period 1". Does this column has the same logical name/short name across all meters?

Logical name or Short name

Hi,

Logical Name SHOULD be same. Short name can be anything. Note that all meters are not using Short Names. Mostly Logical Name is used.

BR,

Mikko
