Error reading ZIV

Forums
DLMSDirector

Hello,

I have a clean smart meter (ZIV) for testing that I want to use to control different areas of an industrial warehouse, although this is unrelated to my problem ;).

The thing is, when I read information from the device using GXDLMSDirector, such as the “Current association,” I get the following error: “Cannot convert an object of type ‘System.byte[]’ to type ‘System.Objec[]’.”

This has happened to me with several OBIS devices, and I wanted to know if there is any kind of solution, because I am unable to connect it to the Python API.

Reading Association View not possible - MT382

Forums
DLMSDirector

Hello,

first of all, thanks for all the work, this project is pure gold!
We are using GXDLMSDirector to connect to an MT382 meter via optical interface. Connecting to the meter works. However, when trying to read the association view, we receive the error "GetObjects failed. Failed to receive reply from the device in given time".

Increasing the timeout does not fix it.

Landis gyr E660

Forums
DLMSDirector

I have a Landis+Gyr E660 with an Ethernet module E66C.
I can connect to it using the Interface Wrapper (client address 10, logical server 1, physical server 1, authentication set to none).

However, with this setup I only receive serial numbers and similar information.
I need to read the actual metering data.

Any advice on how to properly connect to it would be greatly appreciated.

changing MechanismName ?

Forums
DLMSDirector

how do i change the mechanism name that's used to connect to a meter?

i'm trying to connect to an L&G E355, "Management Access" port (1) using GMAC, but i'm running into these bugs:

- when i change the "Authentication" drop-down in the "Device Properties" dialog, and click "OK". the "General/Command line parameters" textbox doesn't update. i have to select a different meter and then return back to the meter i edited for that textbox to update and reflect the option that I selected in the dialog.

Need of Image Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrade through uart of mkm35z512vll7

Forums
DLMSDirector

I am using the NXP AN12837SW reference design for my smart metering project with the MKM35Z512VLL7 controller. Now I want to transfer/send my .bin file to uart terminal through serial wire(not in gsm) for firmware upgrade.
Could you please clarify the following points:
1. How to load the (.bin) file in Gurux, How to divide it into 256-byte chunks and How to add CRC/AES Encryption data for transmission?
2. What is protocol/documentation available for image transfer?
3. Can we send the firmware without OBIS code through uart?
