I am using two L&T Trivector meters connected through RS-485 looping with a USB-to-Serial converter. Earlier I asked about multiple connections in the Gurux forum(https://www.gurux.fi/node/35203). I created a sample program using the Gurux DLMS Client in C#.
The issue I am facing is:
When reading data from one meter, if I power ON the second meter, the current meter stops responding.
I suspect there may be a communication conflict or addressing problem in the RS-485 multi-drop setup.
Below are the communication logs for reference:

Hi, You need to make sureā¦
Hi,
You need to make sure that you have set a unique server address for each meter. It doesn't work if the server address is the same.
The meter manufacturers have implemented this differently. Check first if there is anything from the meter addressing in the meter documentation.
BR,
Mikko
