Driver Setup

This Driver's P configuration parameters are not used. All configurations must be performed on this Driver's properties dialog box. For more information about the Setup, Serial, Ethernet, Modem, and RAS tabs, please check topic Documentation of I/O Interfaces.

Select the DLMS tab to define a destination address of a DLMS meter using the HDLC Logical Device and HDLC Physical Device parameters.

Usually the HDLC Logical Device parameter's default value is 1 (one), while the HDLC Physical Device parameter defines the physical address set to a DLMS meter.

The HDLC Client Address parameter specifies an access profile to a meter. Its default value is 1 (one, Client Management Process), but can assume other values depending on the security profile required to grant access to data. For example, for Landis&Gyr meters, the HDLC Client Address parameter can have the value 32 for access with LLS security or can have the value 48 for access with HLS security.

In case a DLMS meter works with a data profile different from the MAE standard, enable the Disable MAE compatibility mode option.

To execute a new reading try from an eventual failure when receiving a device's response, enable the Retry failed responses property, also informing how many times this Driver must repeat this reading in case the failure persists by defining the Number of retries property. Optionally, this Driver can force resending a request command between each try by enabling the Force resend of the request command every retry property.
