Hi Mikko,

I am adding DLMS compatibility over serial port to my custom single phase electricity meter and I needed some help in figuring out which OBIS codes would be appropriate for my use case. Here is my use case.

I measure the following meter parameters from the metering chip every 15 seconds and put them in an array:
1. Current RMS
2. Voltage RMS
3. Frequency
4. Wide band power
5. Fundamental power
6. Reactive power
7. Wide band energy
8. Fundamental energy
9. Reactive energy
10. Phase angle

After every 15 minutes I send these array values to my server (not using DLMS for TCP connectivity).

What OBIS codes should I use to represent these register values for reading over serial port?

Thanks
Sidharth

Hi Sidharth,

Hi Sidharth,

You need to read your association view example with GXDLMSDirector. Then you will know what OBIS codes your meter manufacturer is using. It looks like your meter is using Indian Standard and those OBIS codes are described on the IS 15959 Part 2 documentation.

BR,
Mikko
