Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62056-8-20- Electricity metering data exchange?
As defined in IEC 62056-1-0, the IEC 62056 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.
PD IEC/TS 62056-8-20 provides you with a DLMS/COSEM communication profile that can be used in a smart metering system in which the Neighbourhood Networks (NN) are mesh networks. PD IEC/TS 62056-8-20 provides you with several features essential to the efficient operation of a large-scale AMI using mesh NNs. PD IEC/TS 62056-8-20 helps you with large-scale AMI deployments.
