IEC 62056-6-2:2016

Electricity metering data exchange - The DLMS/COSEM suite - Part 6-2: COSEM interface classes

IEC 62056-6-2:2016 specifies a model of a meter as it is seen through its communication interface(s). Generic building blocks are defined using object-oriented methods, in the form of interface classes to model meters from simple up to very complex functionality. Annexes A to F (informative) provide additional information related to some interface classes.

Echange de données de comptage de l'électricité - La suite DLMS/COSEM - Partie 6-2: Classes d'interfaces COSEM

L'IEC 62056:2016 spécifie un modèle d'un compteur tel qu'il est vu à travers son/ses interface(s) de communication. Des blocs génériques de base sont définis à l'aide de méthodes orientées objet, sous la forme de classes d'interfaces pour modéliser les compteurs à partir d'une fonctionnalité simple jusqu'à une fonctionnalité très complexe. Les Annexe A à F (informatives) donnent des informations supplémentaires relatives à certaines classes d'interface.
