  2. Maximum PDU Size of a Notification Frame

Maximum PDU size of a notification frame

Dear Kurumi,
We are trying to create a notification using Gurux.DLMS.C. What I observe is that after certain number of length, code generates 2 packets: e.g.
7E A8 86 03 41 13 A7 8B E6 E6 00 DB 08 47 4F 45 30 30 30 30 30 72 30 00 00 00 10 00 9D 56 1E 4D D5 0E 99 27 8E 29 E7 26 0D 60 E4 B2 09 18 AB 5A 5D 06 FF 06 18 34 5B 83 6B 2E 60 35 53 E6 BA F4 86 0C 92 8A 85 56 1D DC 9E 50 84 45 30 6C 8A DD 18 02 94 6E 8A F7 78 E5 88 10 2F 9F 50 6A 16 E0 6A 63 45 1C 90 7B 85 F7 20 CA 20 E7 12 3C B4 48 AF 43 F1 0B C7 9B 4D 2C 7B 9D FA 17 94 7E 5A D7 8D 64 E7 52 80 FA 7B 7E
You will notice that it consists of 2 packets.
Is there any limit in the DLMS standard itself or is it controllable using some configuration/ function?

Regards,
Aashish

Hi Aashish, The meter…

Hi Aashish,

The meter defines the maximum frame and PDU sizes. The theoretical maximum PDU size is 0xFFFF bytes, but no real meter uses it. You can read more from here:
