Electricity metering data exchange - The DLMS/COSEM suite - Part 7-3: Wired and wireless M-Bus communication profiles for local and neighbourhood networks

This International Standard specifies DLMS/COSEM wired and wireless M-Bus communication
profiles for local and neighbourhood networks.
Setting up and managing the M-Bus communication channels of M-Bus devices, the M-Bus
network, registering slave devices and – when required – repeaters is out of the scope of this
International Standard.
The scope of this communication profile standard is restricted to aspects concerning the use
of communication protocols in conjunction with the COSEM data model and the
DLMS/COSEM application layer. Data structures specific to a communication protocol are out
of the scope of this standard. Any project-specific definitions of data structures and data
contents may be provided in project-specific companion specifications.
Annex A (informative) provides information on M-Bus frame structures, addressing schemes
and an encoding example.
Annex B (normative) points to COSEM interface classes to set up and manage the wired and
wireless M-Bus communication channel.
Annex C (informative) provides MSCs for representative instances of communication.

IEC 62056-7-3:2017 spécifie les profils de communication M-Bus DLMS/COSEM filaire et sans fil pour les réseaux locaux et de voisinage. Il se limite aux aspects relatifs à l'utilisation des protocoles de communication conjointement avec le modèle de données COSEM et la couche application DLMS/COSEM.

Izmenjava podatkov pri merjenju električne energije - Niz DLMS/COSEM - 7-3. del: Profili ožičene in brezžične M-Bus izmenjave podatkov za lokalna in sosednja omrežja

Ta mednarodni standard določa DLMS/COSEM profile ožičene in brezžične M-Bus izmenjave podatkov za lokalna in sosednja omrežja.
Vzpostavitev in upravljanje komunikacijskih kanalov M-Bus naprav M-Bus, omrežja M-Bus, registriranje podrejenih naprav in – če je potrebno – ponavljalniki ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega mednarodnega standarda.
Področje uporabe tega standarda za komunikacijske profile je omejeno na uporabo komunikacijskih protokolov v povezavi s podatkovnim modelom COSEM in aplikacijsko ravnjo DLMS/COSEM. Podatkovne strukture, značilne za določen komunikacijski protokol, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega standarda. Morebitne definicije podatkovnih struktur in vsebine podatkov za posamezen projekt so lahko vključene v spremljevalnih specifikacijah za posamezen projekt.
Dodatek A (informativni) podaja informacije o strukturnih okvirih M-Bus, shemah naslavljanja in primerih kodiranja.
Dodatek B (normativni) opredeljuje vmesniške razrede COSEM za vzpostavitev in upravljanje komunikacijskih kanalov M-Bus.
Dodatek C (informativni) ponuja MSC-je za reprezentativne primere komunikacije.

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 62056-5-3 is based.
The IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this maintenance
service.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

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 wired and
wireless M-Bus networks using the lower layers specified in the EN 13757 series.
It follows the rules defined in IEC 62056-5-3, Annex A.
The DLMS/COSEM wired and wireless M-Bus communication profiles for local and
neighbourhood networks may be used for smart energy data exchange with meters as well as
with simple consumer displays and home automation systems.

4 Targeted communication environments
In the context of the smart metering architecture introduced in IEC 62056-1-0 and shown in
Figure 1, the wired and wireless M-Bus communication profiles for local and neighbourhood
networks cover the following interfaces:
• the C interface between an NNAP and metering devices;
• the M interface between an LNAP and metering devices;
• the H1 interface between a metering device and a simple consumer display;
• the H2 interface between an LNAP and a home automation system.
In all cases, metering devices act as DLMS/COSEM servers.
On the C and M interface, metering devices act as M-Bus slaves. The M-Bus master is the
NNAP or the LNAP.
On the H1 and H2 interfaces the metering device acts as a DLMS/COSEM server. It may
operate in pull mode or push mode, as M-Bus master or M-Bus slave, depending on the
selection of wired or wireless M-Bus and the operating mode for wireless M-Bus.
