Reading a meter using Data identities

Hi Everyone.

I'm no means a programmer so forgive me if I'm battling to understand something fundamental with the DLMS protocol.

I've used data identities to read the profile data from other types of meters with the IEC protocol, and I can read the ZMD meters profile data using the optical head (which from my understanding using a IEC handshake).

I'm not sure how to do this via the DLMS software?

This my example using the IEC protocol:

Port Setting = 300,N,8,1
Using 7 E 1 Framing on 8 Bit Serial Port
Delay 500
TX = /?!
RX: rx_zvei_id = /LGZ5\2ZMD4054407.B40<CR>
Rx Meter Type = ZMD
Rx ID Manuf_id = LGZ
Rx ID Baud = 5
Rx ID Serial No =
Rx ID Ver_No = \2ZMD4054407.B40
Delay 650
TX = <ACK>051<CR><LF>
Port Setting = 9600,N,8,1
<SOH>
P0<STX>(F5100000)<ETX>
RX: P0<STX>(F5100000)<ETX>
RX: Calculated Hex Checksum = 12
RX: Received Hex Checksum = 12

Any help I could get would be most appreciated.

Hi, This seems to be Landis…

Hi,

This seems to be Landis+Gyr meter. Download GXDLMSDirector from Downloads page. Select L+G as a manufacturer. Change interface type to HdlcWithModeE and set correct serial port. Connect and you can read your meter.

The GXDLMSDirector is reading the association view first and that might take a long time. The association view tells what kind of objects are available in your meter.
