La LDTI peut faire partie d'un compteur ou d'un point d'accès au réseau local (LNAP) hébergeant un serveur DLMS/COSEM.

Izmenjava podatkov pri merjenju električne energije - Niz DLMS/COSEM - 7-5. del: Profili izmenjave podatkov za lokalne mreže (LN)

Ta del standarda IEC 62056 določa komunikacijske profile DLMS/COSEM za izmenjevanje merilnih podatkov, modeliranih z vmesniškimi objekti COSEM prek vmesnika za izmenjavo podatkov lokalne mreže (LDTI). Vmesnik za izmenjavo podatkov lokalne mreže je lahko del števca ali dostopne točke lokalne mreže (LNAP), v kateri gostuje strežnik DLMS/COSEM.
Glavno besedilo tega standarda določa skupne vidike različnih komunikacijskih profilov za vmesnik za izmenjavo podatkov lokalne mreže.
Dodatki določajo elemente, ki so značilni za komunikacijske protokole. Dodatki so sestavni del tega mednarodnega standarda.
Dodatek A (normativni) določa komunikacijski profil s protokolom, določenim v standardu IEC 62056-21. Točka A.1 določa komunikacijski profil, ki podpira aplikacijsko plast DLMS/COSEM, točka A.2 pa določa komunikacijski profil s podedovanim načinom D. Fizični vmesnik je optični vmesnik, določen v standardu IEC 62056-21:2002, 4.3.
Dodatek B (normativni) določa komunikacijski profil s protokolom, določenim v standardu IEC 62056-3-1. Točka B.1 določa komunikacijski profil, ki podpira aplikacijsko plast DLMS/COSEM, točka B.2 pa določa komunikacijski profil s podedovanim načinom. Fizični vmesnik je sukana parica s signalizacijo po nosilcu in je poznan kot vodilo Euridis.
Dodatek C (normativni) določa komunikacijski profil na podlagi profila, določenega v standardu IEC 62056-7-6, ki temelji na 3-plastnem, povezovalno naravnanem profilu DLMS/COSEM na osnovi HDLC. Fizični vmesnik je RS 485 ali TIA-232-F.
Dodatek D (normativni) določa komunikacijski profil s fizično plastjo, določeno v standardu EN 13757-2, in podatkovno povezovalno plastjo na podlagi HDLC, določeno v standardu IEC 62056-46. Fizični vmesnik je sukana parica s signalizacijo v osnovnem pasu.
Dodatek E (normativni) določa komunikacijski profil s protokolom UDP/IP. Fizična plast ne spada na področje uporabe tega mednarodnega standarda.
Komunikacijski profili iz točk A.1 in B.1 ter dodatkov C, D in E podpirajo aplikacijsko plast DLMS/COSEM.
Dodatek F (informativni) določa primer konfiguracije vmesnika za izmenjavo podatkov lokalne mreže.
Dodatek G (informativni) navaja primere kodiranja.
Dodatni komunikacijski profili za druge medijske/komunikacijske protokole se lahko dodajo
v prihodnosti. Področje uporabe teh komunikacijskih profilov je omejeno na vidike v zvezi z uporabo
komunikacijskih protokolov skupaj s podatkovnimi modeli DLMS/COSEM. Podatkovne strukture, značilne za določen komunikacijski protokol, naj bi bile opredeljene v posebnih standardih glede protokolov. Morebitne definicije podatkovnih struktur in vsebine podatkov za posamezen projekt morajo biti vključene v spremljevalnih specifikacijah za posamezen projekt.

FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance

with this International Standard may involve the use of a maintenance service concerning the stack of protocols on

which the present standard IEC 62056-7-5 is based.

The IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this maintenance service.

The provider of the maintenance service has assured the IEC that he is willing to provide services under

reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions for applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the

statement of the provider of the maintenance service is registered with the IEC. Information may be obtained from:

INTRODUCTION
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.

Communication profile standards refer to communication standards that are part of the

IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM suite or to any other open communication standard.

This International Standard specifies DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for transmitting

metering data modelled by COSEM interface objects through Local Data Transmission

Interfaces (LDTI). The LDTI may be part of a meter or of a Local Network Access Point

(LNAP) hosting a DLMS/COSEM server.
The specification of the communication profiles follows the rules defined in
IEC 62056-5-3:2016, Annex A.

A major driver for the introduction of smart metering is to provide the consumer with suitable

metering information to optimise his/her energy consumption and/or production. For that

purpose, smart meters are equipped with local interfaces providing metering data for the

consumer on consumer devices.

IEC 62056-21 and IEC 62056-3-1 are communication standards that specify direct local data

exchange and data exchange through local networks. They provide protocol modes that

support the DLMS/COSEM application layer and thus the COSEM object model. They also

specify legacy modes that do not support the DLMS/COSEM application layer.

In order to allow connecting legacy consumer equipment to the LDTI, this International

Standard also specifies communication profiles using protocol modes that do not support the

DLMS/COSEM application layer.

It is assumed, however, that in all cases the metering application is modelled by COSEM

interface objects.

It is also assumed that the meter has interfaces that fully support DLMS/COSEM and allow

the configuration of the local data transmission interface by a DLMS/COSEM client.

The requirements on the physical type of the interface, the choice of the data transmitted and

the transmitting pattern highly depends on the markets and projects the meter is designed for.

Part 7-5: Local data transmission profiles for Local Networks (LN)
1 Scope

This part of IEC 62056 specifies DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for transmitting

metering data modelled by COSEM interface objects through a Local Data Transmission

Interface (LDTI). The LDTI may be part of a meter or of a Local Network Access Point (LNAP)

hosting a DLMS/COSEM server.

The main body of this standard specifies the common aspects of the different communication

profiles for the LDTI interface.

The Annexes specify the communication protocol specific elements. The Annexes form an

integral part of this International Standard.

Annex A (normative) specifies a communication profile using the protocol specified in

IEC 62056-21. Clause A.1 specifies the communication profile that supports the

DLMS/COSEM application layer and Clause A.2 specifies the communication profile using the

legacy Mode D. The physical interface is the optical interface specified in IEC 62056-21:2002,

4.3.

Annex B (normative) specifies a communication profile using the protocol specified in

IEC 62056-3-1. Clause B.1 specifies the communication profile that supports the

DLMS/COSEM application layer and Clause B.2 specifies the communication profile using the

legacy mode. The physical interface is twisted pair using carrier signalling known as the

Euridis Bus.

Annex C (normative) specifies a communication profile based on the DLMS/COSEM 3-layer,

connection oriented HDLC based profile specified in IEC 62056-7-6. The physical interface is

RS 485 or TIA-232-F.

Annex D (normative) specifies a communication profile using the physical layer specified in

EN 13757-2 and the HDLC based data link layer specified in IEC 62056-46. The physical

interface is twisted pair with baseband signalling.
Annex E (normative) species a communication profile using UDP/IP. The
