Incorrect LastBlock handling in multi-block ActionRequest

Project
Gurux.DLMS.Python
Status
Active

multipleBlocks() in GXDLMS.py

Current code:
len_ += p.attributeDescriptor.size

Should be:
len_ += p.attributeDescriptor.available()

Reason:

For the second and following PDU blocks, attributeDescriptor has already been consumed in the first block.

At this point the buffer position is already at the end, so:
p.attributeDescriptor.available()
returns 0.

However:
p.attributeDescriptor.size
returns the full buffer size (9 bytes in this case), which incorrectly increases the calculated PDU length.

Because of this, for some boundary data sizes multipleBlocks() calculates an incorrect PDU size and the final block is generated with:
LastBlock = 0
instead of:
LastBlock = 1

This causes the receiver to wait for another block even though all data has already been transferred.

Hi, Thank you for pointing…

Hi,

Thank you for pointing this out. This is still being tested because it affects all communication. The new version should be released this week once all tests are complete.

Hi, Thank you for taking on this issue!
While you are testing this area before the release, I noticed another related boundary issue in GXDLMS.getLNPdu().

When calculating whether the remaining data fits in the current PDU:

totalLength = len_ + len(reply)

totalLength does not account for the byte count header added right after by _GXCommon.setObjectCount(len_, reply).

Because of this, at the exact boundary where len_ + len(reply) == p.settings.maxPduSize, totalLength > p.settings.maxPduSize evaluates to False. The data is not truncated, and setObjectCount() adds 1 extra byte, resulting in a PDU that exceeds maxPduSize by 1 byte (e.g. 101 bytes instead of 100) while LastBlock is set to 0.

Proposed fix for both issues in GXDLMS.py:

1. In multipleBlocks():

Current code:
len_ += p.attributeDescriptor.size

Should be:
len_ += p.attributeDescriptor.available()

2. In getLNPdu():

Current code:
totalLength = len_ + len(reply)

Should be:
totalLength = len_ + len(reply) + _GXCommon.getObjectCountSizeInBytes(len_)

Hope this helps

Incorrect timezone offset calculation

Project
Gurux.DLMS.Python
Status
Closed (fixed)

Incorrect timezone offset calculation in setDateTime() in _GXCommon.py

Current code:

d = int(dt.value.utcoffset().seconds / 60)

Should be:
d = int(dt.value.utcoffset().total_seconds() / 60)

Reason:

timedelta.seconds does not preserve the sign of the timedelta. It returns only the seconds component in the range 0...86399.

For example, for UTC-3 offset:
timedelta(seconds=-10800).seconds
returns 75600 instead of -10800.

As a result, negative UTC offsets are encoded incorrectly.

total_seconds() correctly preserves the sign of the offset.

Hi,

Thank you for pointing this out. It was easy to verify with the current time and a negative time zone.

dt = datetime(2026, 8, 17, 12, 0, 0,tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=-3)))

This is fixed in version 1.0.202, and your name is added to the credits.

Regards,
Mikko

Hi Mikko, i have a question

CGXDLMSProfileGeneric::SetValue for attribute 3. Possible memory leak

Forums
Gurux.DLMS

Hi, Mikko!

In CGXDLMSProfileGeneric::setValue() in else if (e.getIndex()== 3) calls m_CaptureObjects.clear(); but there is no memory release, like in the destructor.
After m_CaptureObjects.clear(); in the loop, calls AddCaptureObject(), where it calls the new operator: CGXDLMSCaptureObject* pCO = new CGXDLMSCaptureObject(attributeIndex, dataIndex);

Thanks!
