DLMSDirector

Hi,

I'm having some trouble reading my Itron/Actaris SL7000 meter. its a 2021 meter of type SL761.

I can connect to the meter using DLMSDirector with no authentication. But I want to read some of the energy values, as well as the clock and serial number. I can read this for a Landis+gyr meter using a java application with the GuruX library and want to be able to read the SL7000 the same way.

I noticed on the authentication drop down list in the DLMSDirectors properties section there no option for Low authentication only None, Electrical Laboratory, Engineer1,2,3, and so on.

could you help me in reading these values using GXDLMSDirector?

The obis codes I'm after are:
0.0.1.0.0.255
0.0.96.1.0.255
1.1.3.8.0.255
1.1.1.8.0.255

TIA,
CP

Hi,

Reading the clock should be possible. Some profile generic objects are implemented in a custom way with older meters, but correct values are quite easy after you have the correct settings. The meter documentation should define what client address you should use.

Try to select "Electricity reader" as an authentication level and set the correct password. You should be able to connect and read the meter.

Hi,

I can read the meter both with GXDLMSDirector and my java app. thanks for the help.

Just another question is when I read the association view of my meter after a while i get an error reading unacceptable frame. do you know what could cause this?

Hi,

Can you see the association view? I don't know the firmware version of your meter, but there are a couple of reasons that might cause this.

The first one is that you can see the association view and after a minute or two you get this error. The reason is that there is an inactivity timeout that is triggered. You need to read something before the inactivity timeout has elapsed (keep alive msg). You can change this value from GXDLMSDirector "Advanced" tab.

The second is that all registers don't implement scaler and unit and that is try to read.
