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

This part of IEC 62056 specifies the DLMS/COSEM application layer in terms of structure,
services and protocols for COSEM clients and servers, and defines how to use the
DLMS/COSEM application layer in various 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 62056-6-2:2016, using either logical name (LN) or short name (SN)
referencing.
Annex A (normative) defines how to use the COSEM application layer in various
communication profiles. It specifies how various communication profiles can be constructed
for exchanging data with metering equipment using the COSEM interface model, and what are
the necessary elements to specify in each communication profile. The actual, media-specific
communication profiles are specified in separate parts of the IEC 62056 series.
Annex B (normative) specifies the SMS short wrapper.
Annex C, Annex D and Annex E (informative) include encoding examples for APDUs.
Annex F (informative) provides an overview of cryptography.
Annex G (informative) lists the main technical changes in this edition of the standard.

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

L'IEC 62056-5-3:2016 indique la couche application DLMS/COSEM en termes de structure, de services et de protocoles pour les clients et serveurs COSEM, et définit comment utiliser la couche application DLMS/COSEM dans différents profils de communication. 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) ou par nom abrégé (SN). Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 62056-5-3 parue en 2013.

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 COSEM in opredeljuje, kako se ta aplikacijska plast uporablja v različnih komunikacijskih profilih.
Opredeljuje storitve za vzpostavljanje in izdajanje povezav aplikacij ter podatkovne komunikacijske storitve za dostop do metod in atributov vmesniških objektov COSEM, opredeljenih v standardu IEC 62056-6-2:2016, na podlagi reference logičnega imena (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.
Dodatki C, D in E (informativni) vključujejo primere kodiranja za podatkovne enote aplikacijskega protokola (APDU).
Dodatek F (informativni) podaja pregled kriptografije.
Dodatek G (informativni) navaja glavne tehnične spremembe v tej izdaji standarda.
