EN 62056-6-1:2013

Electricity metering data exchange - The DLMS/COSEM suite - Part 6-1: Object Identification System (OBIS)

IEC 62056-6-1:2013 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.

Echange des données de comptage de l'électricité - La suite DLMS/COSEM - Partie 6-1: Système d'identification des objets (OBIS)

La CEI 62056-6-1:2013 spécifie la structure globale du Système d'Identification d'Objet (OBIS) et le mappage de tous les éléments de données couramment utilisés dans le matériel de comptage sur leurs codes d'identification. OBIS fournit un identifiant unique pour toutes les données du matériel de comptage, incluant non seulement les valeurs de mesure mais également des valeurs abstraites utilisées pour la configuration ou pour obtenir des informations sur le comportement du matériel de comptage.

Merjenje električne energije - Izmenjevanje podatkov za odbiranja stanja števcev, tarife in obremenitve - 61. del: Sistem za prepoznavanje objektov (IEC 62056-6-1:2013)

Ta del standarda IEC 62056 določa splošno strukturo sistema za prepoznavanje objektov in preslikave vseh pogosto uporabljenih podatkovnih elementov v opremi za merjenje v njihove identifikacijske oznake. Sistem za prepoznavanje objektov zagotavlja enolično oznako za vse podatke v opremi za merjenje, vključno z vrednostmi meritve in abstraktnimi vrednostmi, ki se uporabljajo za konfiguracijo ali pridobivanje informacij o delovanju opreme za merjenje. Oznake ID, določene v tem standardu, se uporabljajo za prepoznavanje: – logičnih imen različnih primerkov integriranih vezij ali objektov, kot je določeno v standardu IEC 62056-6-22; – podatkov, prenesenih prek komunikacijske napeljave; – podatkov, prikazanih na opremi za merjenje (glejte točko A.2). Ta standard se uporablja za vse vrste opreme za merjenje, kot so integrirani števci, modularni števci, tarifni priključki, podatkovni koncentratorji itd. Za potrebe opreme za merjenje energije, ki ni električna energija, kombinirane opreme za merjenje več kot ene vrste energije ali opreme za merjenje z več fizičnimi merilnimi kanali sta uvedena koncepta medija in kanalov. To omogoča prepoznavanje merilnih podatkov iz različnih virov. Čeprav ta standard v celoti določa strukturo sistema prepoznavanja za druge medije, je treba preslikavo podatkovnih elementov, povezanih z energijo druge vrste, v oznake ID izvesti ločeno.
