Electricity metering data exchange - The DLMS®/COSEM suite - Part 6-1: Object Identification System (OBIS)
IEC 62056-6-1:2023 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. 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 62056‑6‑2:2023;
- data transmitted through communication lines;
- data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2 in Annex A.
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
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 62056-6-1, published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex B (informative).
Echange des données de comptage de l'électricité - La suite DLMS®/COSEM - Partie 6-1: Système d'identification des objets (OBIS)
L'IEC 62056-6-1:2023 spécifie la structure globale du système d’identification des objets (OBIS) et la correspondance entre tous les éléments de données couramment utilisés dans les équipements de comptage et leurs codes d’identification. Le système OBIS fournit un identifiant unique pour toutes les données des équipements de comptage, incluant non seulement les valeurs de mesure, mais aussi les valeurs abstraites utilisées pour la configuration ou pour obtenir des informations sur le comportement des équipements de comptage. Les codes d’identification définis dans le présent document sont utilisés pour identifier:
- les noms logiques des différentes instances des classes d’interfaces ou des objets, tels que définis dans l’IEC 62056‑6‑2:2023;
- les données transmises par des lignes de communication;
- les données affichées sur l’équipement de comptage (voir l'Article A.2 de l’Annexe A).
Le présent document s’applique à tous les types d’équipements de comptage, tels que les compteurs entièrement intégrés, les compteurs modulaires, les appareils tarifaires associés aux compteurs, les concentrateurs de données, etc.
Les concepts de support et de canaux sont introduits afin de couvrir les équipements de comptage mesurant d’autres types d’énergie que l’électricité, ainsi que les équipements de comptage combinés mesurant plusieurs types d’énergie ou les équipements de comptage avec plusieurs canaux de mesure physiques. Ceci permet d’identifier les données de comptage provenant de différentes sources. Bien que le présent document définisse entièrement la structure du système d’identification pour d’autres supports, la mise en correspondance d’éléments de données associés à une énergie non électrique avec des codes d’identification est effectuée séparément. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition de l’IEC 62056-6-1 parue en 2017. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Les modifications techniques majeures par rapport à l’édition précédente sont énumérées dans l’Annexe B (informative).
