What is BS EN 62056-8-3 - PLC S-FSK neighbourhood network communication profile about ?
DLMS/COSEM is the global standard for energy & water smart management, advanced control and innovative utility meter data exchange. It specifies an object-oriented data model, an application layer protocol and media-specific communication profiles.
BS EN 62056 is a series of European Standards that discusses electricity metering data exchange through the DLMS/COSEM suite.
BS EN 62056-8-3 is the third part of the BS EN 62056 series which specifies the DLMS/COSEM PLC S-SFK communication profile for neighbourhood networks.
Who is BS EN 62056-8-3 - PLC S-FSK neighbourhood network communication profile for ?
BS EN 62056-8-3 on PLC S-FSK neighbourhood networks is relevant to: 
- Power distribution and transmission companies 
- Communication media network providers 
- Manufacturing industry
- Local authorities 
- Regulatory bodies 
- Engineers
Why should you use BS EN 62056-8-3 - PLC S-FSK neighbourhood network communication profile ?
BS EN 62056-8-3 defines the DLMS/COSEM PLC S-FSK communication profile, which is intended for remote data exchange on Neighbourhood Networks (NN) between Neighbourhood Network Access Points (NNAP) and Local Network Access Points (LNAPs) or End Devices using S-FSK power line carrier technology over the low voltage electricity distribution network as a communication medium.
BS EN 62056-8-3 can thus play a positive role in ensuring effective communication between devices, servers and clients within the DLMS/ COSEM suite.
