GXTime gXTime = new GXTime("07:00:00");

String '07:00:00' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

Can you please provide update in c#. As I have to convert multiple entries.

Using MAX3232 + FT232RL to Energy meter with GXDLMS Director

Forums
Gurux.DLMS

Hello,
I want to read an energy meter using its RS232 port with GXDLMS Director.

The meter I am using is L&T EM101+ DLMS Cat C3 IS15959.

I do not have a RS232-to-USB cable with a DB9 connector right now. I have a MAX3232 RS232-to-TTL converter and an FT232RL USB-to-TTL module.

My idea is:
Meter (RS232) → MAX3232 → TTL → FT232RL → USB → GXDLMS Director

Will this work?
Can I convert RS232 to TTL using the MAX3232, then convert TTL to USB using the FT232RL, and read the meter normally with GXDLMS Director?

SNRM byte mening

Forums
Gurux.DLMS

Hi, I am newbie with DLMS. I am testing Gurux.DLMS.Python and I am working with a meter simulation software. I am able to use the Gurux.DLMS.Client.Example.python giving the command "main.py -S /dev/ttyS0 -c 16 -s 1 -a None" and the simulator works fine. When I sniff the frames, at first step the python code send the SNRM frame:

7e 0a 07 03 21 93 0f 01 7e

the simulator answers with UA response

7e a0 20 21 03 73 73 98 81 80 14 05 02 00 80 06 02 00 80 07 04 00 00 00 01 08 04 00 00 00 01 ce 6a 7e

method call result

Forums
Gurux.DLMS

Hello Mikko,

What should I do to get method call result?
For example, object target is of GXDLMSImageTransfer type.

Let's use method 3 "image verify".
As written in BlueBook "The result of the invocation of this method may be success, temporary_failure or other_reason."

Following code works ok:
reader.readDataBlock( target.imageVerify(reader.client), reply)
How should I check that result is success, temporay failure or something else?

Is it reply.error values according to green book or something else?

Getting data from dlms cat-c3 bi-directional meter

Forums
Gurux.DLMS

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to interface a Schneider Electric / L&T DLMS Category C3 bi-directional energy meter using its RS232 port, which is exposed using an RJ11 4-pin connector. I’m stuck at a few points and would really appreciate guidance.

1. RJ11 RS232 Pinout (4-pin) for L&T / Schneider meter

The meter manual is not clear on the RS232 pinout.
Does anyone know the exact mapping for:

Pin 1 – ?

Pin 2 – ?

Pin 3 – ? (ground?)

Pin 4 – ?

A confirmed TX, RX, GND assignment would help a lot.

2. No voltage on pins?

I have Data class object where attribute 2 is of Structure type, for example.
