What is BS EN 62056-7-5- Electricity metering data exchange about?
BS EN 62056 discusses electricity metering data exchange. BS EN 62056-7-5 belongs to BS EN 62056 multi-series and discusses local data transmission profiles for local networks (LN).BS EN 62056-7-5 DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for transmitting metering data modelled by COSEM interface objects through a Local Data Transmission Interface (LDTI).
The LDTI may be part of a meter or of a Local Network, Access Point (LNAP) hosting a DLMS/COSEM server. The main body of BS EN 62056-7-5 specifies the common aspects of the different communication profiles for the LDTI interface.
Who is BS EN 62056-7-5 - Electricity metering data exchange for?
BS EN 62056-7-5 on electricity metering data exchange is useful for:
- Meter manufacturers
- Utility providers
Why should you use BS EN 62056-7-5- Electricity metering data exchange?
DLMS/COSEM suite provides specific communication profile standards for communication media relevant for smart metering. Such communication profile standards specify how the COSEM data model and the DLMS/COSEM application layer can be used on the lower, communication media-specific protocol layers.
BS EN 62056-7-5 provides you with DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for transmitting metering data modelled by COSEM interface objects through Local Data Transmission Interfaces (LDTI). The LDTI may be part of a meter or of a Local Network, Access Point (LNAP) hosting a DLMS/COSEM server.
BS EN 62056-7-5 guides you with the targeted communication environments, use of communication layers for the profiles, identification, and addressing scheme. BS EN 62056-7-5 provides you with specific considerations for the application layer services, communication layer configuration, and management. BS EN 62056-7-5 also guides you with the COSEM application process.
