  2. Can't Recognize Packets When Exchanging Data With An Electric Meter Natris-I100

Can't recognize packets when exchanging data with an electric meter Natris-I100

I am trying to analyse traffic between wireless module RF-433 and electric meter Natris-I100 but some parts of the messages remain unclear.

1. The RF-module sends SNRM frame:
7E A0 21 02 23 21 93 48 55 81 80 14 05 02 07 EE 06 02 07 EE 07 04 00 00 00 01 08 04 00 00 00 01 B5 D4 7E

2. Meter replies by UA frame:
7E A0 21 21 02 23 73 8F 72 81 80 14 05 02 02 00 06 02 02 00 07 04 00 00 00 01 08 04 00 00 00 01 6F EF 7E

3. The RF-module sends data, that I can't understand:
7E A0 1A 02 23 21 10 E6 70 E6 E6 00 FF 01 0A 20 08 CD 2C 39 86 00 21 10 02 3C FA 7E

namely, this part: FF 01 0A 20 08 CD 2C 39 86 00 21 10 02

I assume that the serial number of the counter 021221008639 is being sent.

4. Meter replies: 7E A0 0F 21 02 23 30 39 03 E6 E7 00 FF FD 0F AC 7E

5. RF-module sends data:

7E A0 45 02 23 21 32 68 6D E6 E6 00 FF 01 0A 21 33 00 01 00 10 00 01 00 2B 60 29 A1 09 06 07 60 85 74 05 08 01 01 A6 0A 04 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 98 00 BE 10 04 0E 01 00 00 00 06 5F 1F 04 00 40 1F 7F 00 C8 F8 B9 7E

It seems to be AARQ frame, but some parts of the message remain unclear:

a. FF 01 0A 21
b. 33 00 01 00 10 00 01 00 2B
c. A6 0A 04 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 98 00

6. Reply from meter: 7E A0 0F 21 02 23 52 2D 43 E6 E7 00 FF FD 0F AC 7E

What does the sequence FF FD mean?

Thank you for any help.

Hi, The AARQ frame is not…

Hi,

The AARQ frame is not correct. This is explained in DLMS standards and it's too complicated to explain in the forum. It's easier if you get the DLMS standards.

BR,
Mikko
