M/441 - Utility meters

This part of IEC 62056 describes two sets of profiles: the first set of profiles allows a
bidirectional communication between a client and a server. This set of profiles is made of three
profiles allowing local bus data exchange with stations either energized or not. For nonenergized
stations, the bus supplies energy for data exchange. Three different profiles are
supported:
• base profile: this three-layer profile provides remote communication services;
NOTE 1 This first profile was published in IEC 61142:1993 and became known as the Euridis standard.
• profile with DLMS: this profile allows using DLMS services as specified in IEC 61334-4-41;
NOTE 2 This second profile was published in IEC 62056-31:1999.
• profile with DLMS/COSEM: this profile allows using the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and
the COSEM object model as specified in IEC 62056-5-3 and in IEC 62056-6-2 respectively.
The three profiles use the same physical layer and they are fully compatible, meaning that
devices implementing any of these profiles can be operated on the same bus. The transmission
medium is twisted pair using carrier signalling and it is known as the Euridis Bus.
The second set of profiles allows unidirectional communication between a given Energy
Metering device and a Customer Energy Management System. This second set is made up of
three profiles.
Subclause 4.2.1 to Clause 8 included specify the bidirectional communication using twisted pair
signalling and Clause 9 to 9.5 the unidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling.

IEC 62056-3-1:2021 is available as IEC 62056-3-1:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 62056-3-1:2021 describes two sets of profiles: the first set of profiles allows a bidirectional communication between a client and a server. This set of profiles is made of three profiles allowing local bus data exchange with stations either energized or not. For non-energized stations, the bus supplies energy for data exchange. Three different profiles are supported: • base profile: this three-layer profile provides remote communication services; NOTE 1 This first profile was published in IEC 61142:1993 and became known as the Euridis standard. • profile with DLMS: this profile allows using DLMS services as specified in IEC 61334 4 41; NOTE 2 This second profile was published in IEC 62056-31:1999. • profile with DLMS/COSEM: this profile allows using the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and the COSEM object model as specified in IEC 62056 5 3 and in IEC 62056 6 2 respectively. The three profiles use the same physical layer and they are fully compatible, meaning that devices implementing any of these profiles can be operated on the same bus. The transmission medium is twisted pair using carrier signalling and it is known as the Euridis Bus. The second set of profiles allows unidirectional communication between a given Energy Metering device and a Customer Energy Management System. This second set is made up of three profiles. Subclause 4.2.1 to Clause 8 included specify the bidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling and Clause 9 to 9.5 the unidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling.

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;
• data transmitted through communication lines;
• data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2.
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.

The Technical Report documents the existing disturbances on the electricity supply network, including customer premises. It covers both products acting as emission sources and those which are susceptible to such, including cumulative effects and the effect of aging of components that are intended to suppress emissions.  It also provides information on interference mechanisms and on the current situation with regard to standardization. The report is based on measurement results and electromagnetic interference cases and related investigation results from twelve countries involving network operators, manufacturers, universities, accredited test houses and consultants.

This Technical Report is based on two Study Reports of CLC/SC 205A, having been worked out by their Task Force EMI [1a][1b] and provides the results and findings of these documents. It was created with the help and input from a broad range of involved stakeholders: network operators, equipment manufacturers, universities, accredited test houses and consultants. Beside the actual standardization situation it reflects the current emission situation found in supply networks and installations and describes electromagnetic interference (EMI) cases from twelve countries; investigation and analysis of the latter show a wide range of different types of electrical devices to be considered as a source or a victim of related EMI. This Technical Report highlights the occurrence of high levels of non-intentional emissions (NIE) in the considered frequency range, including values up to and exceeding the standardized limits for intentional signals from mains communicating systems (MCS), which also implies a high potential to cause EMI to other electrical equipment. On the other hand, several types of equipment show susceptibility to related emissions, being insufficiently immune. The Technical Report addresses the following issues: - a number of different types of electrical equipment are generating such emissions and/or are susceptible, to such, thus representing EMI potential, as a source or a victim of such EMI; - the interaction of electrical equipment in a certain supply area respectively installation, with its complex and volatile impedance character, as having an additional EMI potential; that besides NIE from general electrical equipment and signals from MCS and technically being quite different from emissions; - the fact that besides the conducted interference also radiated interference from NIE or signals from MCS, through the magnetic H-field following to related currents on the mains, is to be considered, what is of some importance also for the interference-free operation of broadcast time-signal systems or electronic circuits controlled by such; - the ageing of electronic components in electric equipment, which causes increased emissions and EMI to other electrical equipment as a result of not showing the same EMC characteristics as before being placed on the market, therefore no longer being able to conform with EMC requirements; - the additional aspect of differential mode operation, which should be considered for related immunity and testing specifications. These findings confirm that EMI in this frequency range is not limited to single types of equipment like inverters or MCS; instead a more general electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problem concerning a larger spectrum of electrical equipment is identified. Although a case-by-case mitigation of related EMI cases might be seen as appropriate, the increasing application of technologies and systems with related EMI potential requires a more general solution, through standardization, taking a balanced viewpoint of EMC and economics into account. With regard to the actual standardization situation, a review of the actual EMC and Product standards based on the reported results seems to be advisable. After initiating the work in CLC/SC 205A, the now ongoing work in IEC SC 77A, as well as the publication of a related Technical Report on testing electricity meters [2] by CLC/TC 13 and of the new Immunity testing standard EN 61000-4-19 [99], appear as right steps into the right direction but needing further, extended efforts. As stated on European as well as on international EMC standardization level, the availability of compatibility levels for the considered frequency range appears as a key-requirement for future considerations on setting related emission limits and immunity requirements in various standards. A fundamental basis for the co-existence of intentional signals from MCS and NIE needs to be found.

This European Standard specifies a data model to abstract the metering world towards a simple external consumer display. The data model, as described by means of functional blocks contained in this European Standard, lays down the format of metering data accessible by a simple external consumer display. This data interface would be typically part of the meter communication functions and be accessed by a simple external consumer display via the H1 interface of the TR 50572 between the display and the meter communication functions.
The data interface specified in this document may also be accessed by the LNAP or NNAP through the C or M interface, after which the data could be accessed by HBES devices through the H2 and H3 interface.
In other words, in this way the same data model can be used both on the H1 as well as the H2 and H3 interface.
The document specifies neither the communication mechanisms used on the data interface, nor the applied data privacy and security mechanisms, where national regulations may apply.
The document does also not specify the communication protocol used between the meters and the meter communication functions. However, it takes into account the existing European standards like the EN 13757 and the EN 62056 series for the definition of the data model.

This Technical Specification specifies the physical layer, medium access control layer and logical link control layer for communication on an electrical distribution network between a master node and one or more slave nodes using adaptive multi-carrier spread spectrum (AMC SS) technique.

This Technical Specification contains 4 profile specifications: • the DLMS/COSEM SMITP B-PSK PLC Profile (clause 4) • the Original-SMITP B-PSK PLC Profile (clause 5) • the Original-SMITP IP Profile (clause 6) • the Original-SMITP Local data exchange profile (clause 7) The DLMS/COSEM SMITP B-PSK profile defines the use of the CLC/FprTS 50568-4 communication protocol and methods to access and exchange data modelled by the COSEM objects of EN 62056 6 2 via the EN 62056-5-3 application layer. This section forms part of the DLMS/COSEM suite as described in FprEN 62056-1-0. NOTE In the following, the expression Original-SMITP refers to the open protocol originally developed and maintained by the Meters and More Open Technologies association (see Foreword). The Original-SMITP Profiles define the access and exchange of data modelled by the Original-SMITP data model (clause 9) using the Original-SMITP application services (Clause 8). The “Original-SMITP” specifications refer to smart metering system specifications defined prior to the availability of the DLMS/COSEM SMITP B-PSK PLC Profile. The “Original-SMITP” specifications do not form part of the DLMS/COSEM suite of EN 62056.

There are three profiles specified:
- a profile using the EN 61334-4-32:1996 LLC layer;

This Technical Specification is part of the EN 62056 / 52056 DLMS/COSEM suite and specifies the DLMS/COSEM communication profile for compatibly extendable power line carrier neighbourhood networks using Adaptive Multi-Carrier Spread-Spectrum (AMC-SS).
The physical layer provides a modulation technique that efficiently utilizes the allowed bandwidth within the CENELEC A band (3 kHz – 95 kHz), offering a very robust communication in the presence of narrowband interference, impulsive noise, and frequency selective attenuation. The physical layer of AMC-SS is defined in Clause 5 of CLC/FprTS 50590:2014.
The data link (DL) layer consists of three parts, the ‘Medium Access Control’ (MAC) sub-layer, the Logical Link Control (LLC) sub-layer and the ‘Convergence’ sub-layer. The data link layer allows the transmission of data frames through the use of the power line physical channel. It provides data services, frame integrity control, routing, registration, multiple access, and cell change functionality. The MAC sub-layer and the LLC sub-layer of AMC-SS are defined in Clause 6 of CLC/FprTS 50590:2014. The Convergence sub-layer is defined in this document.

This part of IEC 62053 applies only to newly manufactured transformer operated static varhour
meters of accuracy classes 0,5 S, and 1 S as well as direct connected static var-hour
meters of accuracy class 1, for the measurement of alternating current electrical reactive
energy in 50 Hz or 60 Hz networks and it applies to their type tests only.
This standard uses a conventional definition of reactive energy where the reactive power and
energy is calculated from the fundamental frequency components of the currents and voltages
only. See Clause 3.
NOTE 1 This differs from the approach of IEC 62053-23, where reactive power and energy is defined only for
sinusoidal signals. In this standard reactive power and energy is defined for all periodic signals. Reactive power
and energy is defined in this way to achieve proper reproducibility of measurements with meters of different
designs. With this definition, reactive power and energy reflects the generally unnecessary current possible to
compensate with capacitors rather than the total unnecessary current.
It applies only to static var-hour meters for indoor and outdoor application consisting of a
measuring element and register(s) enclosed together in a meter case. It also applies to
operation indicator(s) and test output(s). If the meter has a measuring element for more than
one type of energy (multi-energy meters), or when other functional elements, like maximum
demand indicators, electronic tariff registers, time switches, ripple control receivers, data
communication interfaces, etc., are enclosed in the meter case, then the relevant standards
for these elements also apply.
NOTE 2 IEC 61869-2:2012 describes transformers having a measuring range of 0,05 In to Imax for accuracy
classes 0,2, 0,5, 1 and 2, and transformers having a measuring range of 0,01 In to Imax for accuracy classes 0,2 S
and 0,5 S. As the measuring range of a meter and its associated transformers have to be matched and as only
transformers of classes 0,2 S / 0,5 S have the current error and phase displacement characteristics suitable to
operate a class 0,5 S / 1 S meter respectively as specified in this standard, the measuring range of the transformer
operated meters will be 0,01 In to Imax. Reactive meters intended to be used together with non-S transformers are,
therefore, not covered by this standard.
