Trouble reading E450 meter (L&Gyr)

Forums
General discussion

Hello,
I have a E450 and GXDLMXDirector v8.1.1904.0201. I'm interfacing with the meter using this little device right here : https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-transfer-MBUS-module-slave-module-communic…
It plugs into the consumer interface at the bottom of the meter, not the optical one.

Problem in establishing communication to EMH NXT4 Meter

Forums
General discussion

Hi, i have problems in using gxdlms director to communicate with an EMH NXT4 meter. However, if using their provided software, i can establish the communication plus i am able to take readouts using the software. The settings used in the proprietary software is described below : -

Communication : COM PORT (COM 1)
Baud Rate : 9600
Login password: 123
w5-password : 123
Meter Address : meter_serial_number

what is the equivalent setting that i could set in gxdlms director?

Protocol converters

Forums
General discussion

Hey,

I want to implement a device on the optical port to communicate with the smart meter. i want to use gurux to communicate by HDLC with the smartmeter. And use the device to communicate to the existing DLMS/COSEM-TCP-IP connection. So in order to get this working a need a protocol translator from DLMS/COSEM-TCP-IP to DLMS/COSEM-HDLC
and then in reversed order DLMS/COSEM-HDLC to DLMS/COSEM-TCP-IP.

So my question about this is:

is there already something like this implemented?

If not can you point me to a good point to start with?

Thanks:)

Complex objects in DLMS

Forums
General discussion

Hello. DLMS has complex-structured objects like(like Clock, Auto-Connect schedule, Profile Generic).
Is there any general principles on how to read those using Gutux Java library?
A little guidance would be very helpful.
Thank you.

Can't reproduce DLMSDirector's in Java Code.

Forums
General discussion

Hello Experts.
DLMS Director manages to succesfully read values from a secured meter.
But when i try to do same stuff in Java, i see the error "Invalid HDLC Frame: 50 Expected: 30".
That's it.

The device is using Pre-established accosiation, so the steps are:
1. Connect to public client with no ciphering.
2. Read invocation counter
3. Send disconnect
4. Connect using Management client (01)
5. Don't send AARQ since it's pre-established.
6. Read the stuff.

Communicating with multiple dlms meters via a single line rs485

Forums
General discussion

Hello, I have a few meters on a single rs485 line and I'm trying to read them via dlms protocol. I know that I have to provide something called lower physical address somewhere but I do not know where to excatly and how can I obtain it from the meter. I have three Landys Gyr meters, /LGZ5\2ZMD4104459.B30, which I know can be read both by IEC and DLMS.
There are two functions in java gurux library which I presume are the key to the communication in this use case:
public final void setServerAddress(final int value) {
settings.setServerAddress(value);

communicating with energy meters alpha a1800

Forums
General discussion

Hey ! I would be grateful if anyone could help !

I’am working on a project, the main target is communicating with 5 energy meters alpha a1800. on ethernet TCP/IP using the serial ethernet converter ( EDW-100).
There are two scenarios for this :
*i can use the converter as a modbus gateway and read values via metercat (modbus tcp/ip).
*i can use GXDLMSDirector to read meters data via ethernet
i would like to contact someone who has worked on elster a1800 communication.
