Hello.
Can anyone please help me and explain how to use billing schemes and periods?
IEC 62056-61-2006, clause 5.6.2 says, that there are two billing schemes available and it explains how to define these schemes. Clause A.3 explains how to handle group F to identify the billing period. What I cannot understand is how to determine billing scheme based on billing period counter. Let's say, that I have use two schemes - day and month. Then, for example, I use OBIS code 1.0.1.8.0.10. What value should I expect here? Time integral from the origin to the end of particular month? Or to the end of particular week? What am I missing here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
How to determine billing scheme
Hi,
Each meter can implement as many billing schemes as needed. All meters do not implement billing schemes at all. You should first read your association view and check how many billing schemes you have.
Do not trust OBIS codes too match. Some meters are using all kind of OBIS codes. :-(
You must read your meters and check what kind of data they are returning and then make your logic using that info.

Mikko, thank you.
Mikko, thank you.
My current task is to read data from electricity meters, which does not have support for DLMS. In order not to develop my own identification system, I decided to use OBIS. So in fact this is like I have my own meter and I can pack values as I want. Can you please give me an idea about how to implement support for different billing schemes? As I wrote before, I just need to be able to send daily and monthly values, but cannot find a way to clearly differentiate them. I'm confused a bit, that such a simple task is not illustrated well in documentation.
