12-Digit Serial Number

Gurux.Serial

Hello Sir,

I am currently working on Gas-meter and using Gurux ANSI-C library to make the meter compatible to DLMS protocol.
In our application, it needs to be 12-digit serial number.
Now, if I want to connect the meter using SERIAL NUMBER, is it possible (as it doesn't fit in int32 range)?
If it does, then what should be the formula?

Kind Regards,
Girija

Hi, The DLMS standard doesn…

Hi,

The DLMS standard doesn't define how the server address is counted from the serial number. Manufacturers are using different ways to count it and you need to check this from the meter documentation.

Multiple manufacturers are counting server address from serial number with this formula, but it's not defined in DLMS standards.

SN % 10000 + 1000

It takes the last four digits from the serial number and adds 1000 to it.

BR,
Mikko
