DLMSDirector

Hello,

I'm trying to read values of a SL7000 with Sync2000 but I failed.

My settings for Actaris(ITRON) SL7000:
- Start Protocol : DLMS
- Media : Serial RS485 Full duplex with 9600
- Authentication : Low
- Password : ABCDEFGH
- Client Address : 1
- Physical Server : 17
- Logical Server : 1
- Context application: LN
- HDLC addressing scheme : 4
- SL761xxxx

Code OBIS I'm trying to read 1.1.3.8.0.255 & 1.1.1.8.0.255. I know those values are not null
The qualities of them are good but the values still "0"

I don't understand....

thanks

Hi,

You should ask this from manufacturer of Sync2000 (Kalkitech), but I can see that you are reading Register "1.1.3.8.0.255" attribute 2. Meter returns value unsigned long 153332 (0x256F4).
This is value that you should see. We are making some changes for GXDLMSDirector for SL7000. You can try to read with it if you like to. New version is available latest tomorrow.

Mikko

Hi,

We are not using sync2000. We have own software GXDLMSDirector that you can use to read your meter. Source codes are also available so you can make app like you want to.

New version (Version 8.0.0.5) from GXDLMSDirector is released just a minute ago.
We have fixed few Actaris issues. Actaris is a little bit problematic meter, because it supports DLMS,
but not compleate COSEM.

Hi,
I download new release of GXDLMSDirector. Very good job!
Now I can connect to SL7000 by serial com port.
I can read registers.
I need to read load profile by meter from DATE_START to DATE_END
With GXDLMSDirector I can read 0.0.99.1.0.255 Load profile with recording period 1
Where I can find information about read Load profile to understand data I receive?
Is there in your forum?
Thanks

Hi,

Profile Generics of SL7000 is causing us a lots of problems.
Load profile is imlemented custom way in SL6000 and ACE6000.

Data that you are receiving is collection of arrays.
You have to parse data by your self. We will try to find general solution for this because we are receiging so many inqueries from Actaris, but it will take some time.
You can read Actaris class from GXDLMSDirector and see it that helps.

There is a document of structure of profile generic data, but I can't remember it's name right now. :-)

Mikko

Hi,

Are you using Sync2000 or GXDLMSDirector?
Are you using optical strobe or serial port connection?

Hi,

I believe that this is conficuration issue.
Try to change starting protocol to IEC. Is meter answering anything?
