DLMSDirector

Hi,

I am not able to connect to L&T ER300P meter with DLMSDirector application. I have created a manufacturer and a device in the DLMSDirector. Kindly refer the attached screen shot for the same. I want to connect to the actual device with these settings. But the DLMSDirctor application is showing below mentioned message:
"11:29:11 Initializing Network connection.
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a send to call) no address was supplied at GXDLMSDirector.GXDLMSDevice.InitializeConnection()
at GXDLMSDirector.MainForm.Connect(Control sender, Object[] parameters)"

Kindly suggest me. What should I do?

Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep Sonwani

L&T ER300P meter

Hi Pradeep,

Your meter is not support DLMS. It's using IEC 1107.
You can read more from DLMS FAQ:

L&T ER300P

Hi Pradeep,

It might be that they have added support for it. From the docs what we have:

Communication
- Optical port as per IEC 1107
- RS 232 port (optional)
- RS 485 using MODBUS protocol RS 485 using MODBUS protocol (optional)

You can try with Indian standard. I hope it helps.

Hi,

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your kind help.

The connection has been established between the DLMSDirector and ER300P meter with Indian standard. And I am able to read registers from the device. I am also able to see the OBIS codes and attribute indexes of the objects in the DLMSDirector application.

I want to write code with the help of "GuruxDLMSClientExample" to communicate with ER300P meter. So I have written the below mentioned code. In the below mentioned code the connection to the ER300P meter has established and I am also able to read clock object from the ER300P meter. But I am not able to read other register object. The "GetErrorMessage" returns error message "Access Error: Device reports a unavailable object" while same object is accessible from DLMSDirector app. Refer below mentioned code.

Kindly suggest me. What should I do?

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGXDLMSClient cl(true, 16, 1, DLMS_AUTHENTICATION_NONE, "xxx", DLMS_INTERFACE_TYPE_WRAPPER); CGXCommunication comm(&cl, 5000, trace);

if ((ret = comm.Connect("192.168.000.003", 4059)) != 0)
{
TRACE("Connect failed %s.\r\n", CGXDLMSConverter::GetErrorMessage(ret));
return 1;
}
if ((ret = comm.InitializeConnection()) != 0)
{
TRACE("InitializeConnection failed %s.\r\n", CGXDLMSConverter::GetErrorMessage(ret));
return 1;
}

std::string value;
CGXDLMSRegister *obj = new CGXDLMSRegister("1.0.1.8.0.255");
if ((ret = comm.Read(obj, 2, value)) != 0)
{
TRACE("err! failed to read register: %s", CGXDLMSConverter::GetErrorMessage(ret));
}

comm.Close();

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks & Regards,
Pradson

L&T ER300P

Hi,

You need to change your authentication level. You don't have access to see the object what you try to write.
