Hi,
I´m trying to read meter ME383 with Iskraemeco default configuration through serial port but I´m getting "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time." message from GuruxDirector.(9600 8N1).
I tried with HDLCwithModeE and optical probe, with same result:"Failed to receive reply from the device in given time."Bitrate 300, 7E1.
So I suspect Client or Server IDs are wrong, so I tried to get this values from meter with optical probe .
I´m following IEC62056-21 and I´m trying to read first parameter value with this command sequence:
[TX] - /?72034762!<CR><LF>
[RX] - /ISK5\2ME383-1008<CR><LF>
[TX] - <ACK>001<CR><LF>
[RX] - <SOH>P0<STX>(73707997)<ETX>c
[TX] - <SOH>R10000(93)
with no reply to the last command.
I tried to reset meter configuration through Reset button and following meter manual, but I couldn´t get to reset menu.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it posible to get Client ID or Server ID from optical probe?
How could I communicate with meter?
Thank you.

Hi,
Hi,
If you are reading your meter with an optical probe the Interface must change from HDLC to HdlcWithModeE. I don't know if you have done it, but in the picture it's HDLC.
Try to establish the connection using an optical probe first. The baud rate can be anything and if it's wrong the meter doesn't reply.
You should receive a reply if you are using an optical probe. Connection is started with IEC 62056-21 mode E and the meter should reply if the baud rate is correct.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes, I tried. First I tried with serial and HDLC(9600 8N1).) and it didn´t work. Then with usb optical probe and HDLC with E.(300, 7E1) and didn´t work. I get "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time." message in both cases.
I´m able to connect with my optical probe and it answers to IEC62056-21 identification command.(I communicate with the probe without using GuruxDirector, I use Docklight to send commands)
The problem is that, as I suspect that I can connect through serial HDLC because of wrong Client or Server IDs, I´m using optical probe to read those addresses but I don´t know how to do it or if is it possible.
With Docklight serial debuging tool I send this command to the optical probe to read a register: [TX] - <SOH>R10000(93)
but the meter didn´t answer to this command.
So, how could I get Client and Server addresses from the meter? I suppose the problem is wrong addresses, maybe wrong password, I´m not sure.
Thank you
Hi,
Hi,
The default serial port settings with IEC 62056-21 are 300 7E1, but this can be configured to something else for the meter. Is the meter returning anything when you are connecting with GXDLMSDirector using an optical probe? You can see this if you select "View" | "Log" and | "View Log". or press Crtl+R.
There should be something like "/?!<CR><LF>" and meter should reply like this:
"/ISK5\2ME383-1008<CR><LF>"

Mikko
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hello,
Hello,
I made some progress trying to read ME383 meter with optical probe following IEC62056-21 protocol, using Docklight serial tool.
This is the command sequence in Docklight:
[TX] - /?72034762!<CR><LF>
[RX] - /ISK5\2ME383-1008<CR><LF>
[TX] - <ACK>001<CR><LF>
[RX] - <SOH>P0<STX>(79772560)<ETX>o
[TX] - <SOH>R1<STX>D0000000(1)<ETX>&
[RX] - <STX>(ER11)<ETX><NAK>
I´m trying to read Parameter data Identification number one as per IEC62056-21(D0000000(1), but I´m getting ERR11 message. I can´t find the meaning of this, I suppose, error message in ME383 manual. What does it mean ERR11? How could I get the value of these registers?
Thank you.
Hi,
Hi,
You can connect with Docklight using IEC 62056-21 (old IEC 1107), but DLMS communication fails when you connect with GXDLMSDirector and I don't know the reason for that.
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with IEC 62056-21. THere are too many variations with IEC 62056-21 and it causes that meters from different manufacturers are behaving differently.
Everything is easier if you can connect with DLMS. What is the manufacturing year of the meter? You should see it on the top of the meter.
BR,
Mikko
On the top of the meter I can
On the top of the meter I can see "2018". Serial number of the device:I11D18D000471. ME383 from Iskra.
Thank you.
Hi,
Hi,
Try to change authentication to None and Logical Meter address to zero and Physical Address to One.

Thank you.
Thank you.
I tried new configuration with no success. This is the log:

Hi,
Hi,
Try to change the client address from 0x64 to 0x10. If it still fails change the logical address to 1 and the physical address to 0x21.
Is this your own meter or is it an electricity company meter? If it's electricity company meter, it might be that the server address is changed or the DLMS part is disabled for the optical probe.
BR,
Mikko
Hi, thank you for your reply.
Hi, thank you for your reply.
Reading is still unsuccessful with last changes.
The meter is from an electricity company. I was suspecting a change of address and I was trying to read the address with an optical probe and IEC 62056-21 with no success.
Is it posible to enable DLMS with optical probe and IEC 62056-21? with <ACK>202<CR><LF> command?
Best regards.
Hi,
Hi,
There is now a tutorial available that shows how to find HDLC server and client addresses using brute force with GXDLMSDirector.

I hope it helps you to find the correct parameters.
