This part of IEC 62056 specifies the overall structure of the OBject Identification System (OBIS)
and the mapping of all commonly used data items in metering equipment to their identification
codes.
OBIS provides a unique identifier for all data within the metering equipment, including not only
measurement values, but also abstract values used for configuration or obtaining information
about the behaviour of the metering equipment. The ID codes defined in this document are used
for the identification of:
• logical names of the various instances of the ICs, or objects, as defined in
IEC 62056‑6‑2:2023;
• data transmitted through communication lines;
• data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2 in Annex A.
This document applies to all types of metering equipment, such as fully integrated meters,
modular meters, tariff attachments, data concentrators, etc.
To cover metering equipment measuring energy types other than electricity, combined metering
equipment measuring more than one type of energy or metering equipment with several physical
measurement channels, the concepts of medium and channels are introduced. This allows
meter data originating from different sources to be identified. While this document fully defines
the structure of the identification system for other media, the mapping of non-electrical energy
related data items to ID codes is completed separately.
NOTE EN 13757-1:2014 defines identifiers for metering equipment other than electricity: heat cost allocators,
thermal energy, gas, cold water and hot water.

IEC 62056-8-12:2023 describes the use of DLMS®/COSEM for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It specifies how the COSEM data model and the DLMS®/COSEM application layer can be used over various LPWAN technologies using an adaptation layer based on IETF RFC 8724, and in particular over LoRaWAN.
This profile is intended to be used with LPWANs as defined in IETF RFC 8724, in particular LoRaWAN. Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are wireless technologies with characteristics such as large coverage areas, low bandwidth, possibly very small packet and application-layer data sizes, and long battery life operation. This document does not provide functionality to manage the lower layers of the LPWANs.
This part of the DLMS®/COSEM suite specifies the communication profile for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs).
The DLMS®/COSEM LPWAN communication profiles use connection-less transport layer based on the Internet Standard User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IPv6).
The adaptation layer is based on IETF RFC 8724 which provides both a header compression/decompression mechanism and an optional fragmentation/reassembly mechanism. SCHC compression is based on static context with small context identifier to represent full IPv6/UDP/COSEM wrapper headers. If required, SCHC fragmentation is used to support IPv6 MTU over the LPWAN technologies.
This document follows the rules defined in IEC 62056-5-3:2023, Annex A, and in IEC 62056-1-0, and IEC TS 62056-1-1:2016 for its structure. See also Annex A for examples

The fieldbus application layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a "window between corresponding application programs."
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and material specific to Type 2 fieldbus. The term "time-critical" is used to represent the presence of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within the time window risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to equipment, plant and possibly human life.
This International Standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the Type 2 fieldbus application layer in terms of:
a) an abstract model for defining application resources (objects) capable of being manipulated by users via the use of the FAL service,
b) the primitive actions and events of the service;
c) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they take; and
d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this document is to define the services provided to:
a) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the application layer of the fieldbus reference model, and
b) Systems Management at the boundary between the application layer and Systems Management of the fieldbus reference model.
This document specifies the structure and services of the Type 2 fieldbus application layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure (ISO/IEC 9545).
FAL services and protocols are provided by FAL application-entities (AE) contained within the application processes. The FAL AE is composed of a set of object-oriented application service elements (ASEs) and a layer management entity (LME) that manages the AE. The ASEs provide communication services that operate on a set of related application process object (APO) classes. One of the FAL ASEs is a management ASE that provides a common set of services for the management of the instances of FAL classes.
Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how request and responses are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioral aspects of the applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the 318 FAL users in standardizing such object behavior. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined in this document to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.

communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a “window between
corresponding application programs.”
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical
messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and
material specific to Type 4 fieldbus. The term “time-critical” is used to represent the presence
of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with
some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within the time window
risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to equipment, plant
and possibly human life.
This document specifies interactions between remote applications and defines the externally
visible behavior provided by the Type 4 fieldbus application layer in terms of
• the formal abstract syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed
between communicating application entities;
• the transfer syntax defining encoding rules that are applied to the application layer protocol
data units;
• the application context state machine defining the application service behavior visible
between communicating application entities;
• the application relationship state machines defining the communication behavior visible
between communicating application entities.
The purpose of this document is to define the protocol provided to
• define the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-4, and
• define the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer.
This document specifies the protocol of the Type 4 fieldbus application layer, in conformance
with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI application layer structure
(ISO/IEC 9545).

One of the FAL ASEs is a management ASE that provides a common set of services for the management of the instances of FAL classes.
Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how request and responses are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioral aspects of the applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the 289 FAL users in standardizing such object behavior. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined in this International Standard to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.

IEC 61158-4-2:2023 is one of a series produced to facilitate the interconnection of automation system components. It is related to other standards in the set as defined by the "three-layer" fieldbus reference model described in IEC 61158‑1.
The data-link protocol provides the data-link service by making use of the services available from the physical layer. The primary aim of this document is to provide a set of rules for communication expressed in terms of the procedures to be carried out by peer data-link entities (DLEs) at the time of communication. These rules for communication are intended to provide a sound basis for development in order to serve a variety of purposes:
- as a guide for implementers and designers;
- for use in the testing and procurement of equipment;
- as part of an agreement for the admittance of systems into the open systems environment;
- as a refinement to the understanding of time-critical communications within OSI.

The fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the
fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be considered as a window
between corresponding application programs.
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical
messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and
material specific to Type 28 fieldbus. The term "time-critical" is used to represent the presence
of a time-window, in which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with
some defined level of certainty.
This document defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the different
Types of the fieldbus Application Layer in terms of
• an abstract model for defining application resources (objects) capable of being manipulated
by users via the use of the FAL service,
• the primitive actions and events of the service,
• the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they
take, and
• the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences.
The purpose of this document is to define the services provided to
• the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the Application Layer of the Fieldbus
Reference Model, and
• Systems Management at the boundary between the Application Layer and Systems
Management of the Fieldbus Reference Model.
This document specifies the structure and services of the IEC fieldbus Application Layer, in
conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI Application
Layer Structure (ISO/IEC 9545).
FAL services and protocols are provided by FAL application-entities (AE) contained within the
application processes. The FAL AE is composed of a set of object-oriented Application Service
Elements (ASEs) and a Layer Management Entity (LME) that manages the AE. The ASEs
provide communication services that operate on a set of related application process object
(APO) classes. One of the FAL ASEs is a management ASE that provides a common set of
services for the management of the instances of FAL classes.
Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how to request and
response are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting
and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioural aspects of the
applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can
send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the FAL users in standardizing such
object behaviour. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined in
this document to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.

This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical

of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with
some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within the time window
can cause failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to equipment,
plant and possibly human life.
This document defines in an abstract way the externally visible behavior provided by the
Type 28 of the fieldbus Application Layer in terms of:
• the abstract syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed between
communicating application entities,
• the transfer syntax defining the application layer protocol data units conveyed between
communicating application entities,
• the application context state machine defining the application service behavior visible
between communicating application entities; and
• the application relationship state machines defining the communication behavior visible
between communicating application entities.
The purpose of this document is to define the protocol provided to:
• the wire-representation of the service primitives defined in IEC 61158-5-28, and
• the externally visible behavior associated with their transfer.
This document specifies the protocol of the Type 28 IEC fieldbus application layer, in
conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) and the OSI Application
Layer Structure (ISO/IEC 9545).

The Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the
fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a "window
between corresponding application programs".
This part of IEC 61158 provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical
messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and
material specific to Type 23 fieldbus. The term "time-critical" is used to represent the
presence of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be
completed with some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within
the time window risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to

IEC 62056-8-12:2023 describes the use of DLMS®/COSEM for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It specifies how the COSEM data model and the DLMS®/COSEM application layer can be used over various LPWAN technologies using an adaptation layer based on IETF RFC 8724, and in particular over LoRaWAN.
This profile is intended to be used with LPWANs as defined in IETF RFC 8724, in particular LoRaWAN. Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are wireless technologies with characteristics such as large coverage areas, low bandwidth, possibly very small packet and application-layer data sizes, and long battery life operation. This document does not provide functionality to manage the lower layers of the LPWANs.
This part of the DLMS®/COSEM suite specifies the communication profile for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs).
The DLMS®/COSEM LPWAN communication profiles use connection-less transport layer based on the Internet Standard User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IPv6).
The adaptation layer is based on IETF RFC 8724 which provides both a header compression/decompression mechanism and an optional fragmentation/reassembly mechanism. SCHC compression is based on static context with small context identifier to represent full IPv6/UDP/COSEM wrapper headers. If required, SCHC fragmentation is used to support IPv6 MTU over the LPWAN technologies.
This document follows the rules defined in IEC 62056-5-3:2023, Annex A, and in IEC 62056-1-0, and IEC TS 62056-1-1:2016 for its structure. See also Annex A for examples
