Electricity metering data exchange - The DLMS/COSEM suite - Part 5-3: DLMS/COSEM application layer

IEC 62056-5-3:2017(E) specifies the DLMS/COSEM application layer in terms of structure, services and protocols for DLMS/COSEM clients and servers, and defines rules to specify the DLMS/COSEM communication profiles. It defines services for establishing and releasing application associations, and data communication services for accessing the methods and attributes of COSEM interface objects, defined in IEC 62056-6-2 using either logical name (LN) or short name (SN) referencing. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 62056-5-3, published in 2016. It constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex K (Informative).

Échange des données de comptage de l'électricité - La suite DLMS/COSEM - Partie 5-3: Couche application DLMS/COSEM

IEC 62056-5-3:2017 spécifie la couche application DLMS/COSEM en termes de structure, de services et de protocoles pour les clients et serveurs DLMS/COSEM, et définit les règles de spécification des profils de communication DLMS/COSEM. Elle définit les services permettant d'établir et de libérer des associations d'applications, ainsi que les services de communication de données permettant d'accéder aux méthodes et aux attributs des objets d'interface COSEM, définis dans l’IEC 62056-6-2, à l'aide du référencement par nom logique (LN - logical name) ou par nom abrégé (SN - short name). Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition de l'IEC 62056-5-3 parue en 2016. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les modifications techniques majeures par rapport à l'édition précédente sont énumérées à l'Annexe K (Informative).

Izmenjava podatkov pri merjenju električne energije - Niz DLMS/COSEM - 5-3. del: Aplikacijska plast DLMS/COSEM

Ta del standarda IEC 62056 določa aplikacijsko plast DLMS/COSEM v smislu strukture, storitev in protokolov za odjemalce ter strežnike DLMS/COSEM in opredeljuje pravila za določanje komunikacijskih profilov DLMS/COSEM.
Določa storitve za vzpostavljanje in izdajanje povezav aplikacij in podatkovne komunikacijske storitve za dostop do metod in atributov vmesniških objektov COSEM iz standarda IEC 62056-6-2 z uporabo reference logičnega (LN) ali kratkega imena (SN).
Dodatek A (normativni) opredeljuje, kako se pri različnih komunikacijskih profilih uporablja aplikacijska plast COSEM. Določa, kako so lahko različni komunikacijski profili izdelani za izmenjavo podatkov z opremo za merjenje, ki uporablja vmesniški model COSEM, in kateri so potrebni elementi, ki jih je treba določiti v posameznem komunikacijskem profilu. Dejanski komunikacijski profili, ki se uporabljajo za medije, so opredeljeni v ločenih delih skupine standardov IEC 62056.
Dodatek B (normativni) določa kratko ovojnico za SMS.
Dodatek C (normativni) določa usmerjevalni protokol.
Dodatki D, E in F (informativni) vključujejo primere kodiranja za podatkovne enote aplikacijskega protokola (APDU).
Dodatek G (normativni) podaja eliptične krivulje NSA Suite B in domenske parametre.
Dodatek H (informativni) podaja primer certifikata podpisa končne entitete, ki uporablja krivuljo P-256 in je z njo tudi podpisan.
Dodatek I (normativni) določa uporabo shem za določanje ključa v okviru specifikacije DLMS/COSEM.
Dodatek J (informativni) podaja primere izmenjave zaščitenih podatkovnih enot APDU xDLMS med trejo osebo in strežnikom.
Dodatek K (informativni) navaja glavne tehnične spremembe v tej izdaji standarda.
