Introduction: DLMS-UA is a non profit organization which standardizes the protocols intended for digital energy meters. This paper refers a three layer HDLC connection oriented protocol architecture intended for digital energy meters. Here it is discussed briefly about protocol layers and their service primitives to communicate with energy meters.

Client Server Model: The protocol standard intended works in a client server approach. The client which is a HHU or

CPU (Center Processing Unit) always requests the server (meter) and the server sends response to the client. It has to establish a logical connection with the meter for accessing the data.

Protocol Layers To Communicate: The protocol stack has three layers to communicate with digital energy meter. The physical layer and data link layer together is known as HDLC communication profile which serves the higher layers such as Companion COSEM Layer and Application Layer. The three layer protocol which is intended is embedded in the energy meter. The application layer with its elements CF, ACSE, xDLMS_ASE acts as building blocks for Application layer. Data Link Layer consists of two layers LLC sub layer which is a IEEE 802.2 standard and MAC sub layer which forms HDLC frames.

Fig. 1 : Client Server Model

Physical Layer: The physical layer is a part of the HDLC communication profile contains the PDU's for transmission through optical port or RS-232 port. The baud rate of the client physical layer is adjusted in order to communicate with Server physical layer as per IEC-62056-46 standard. Physical layer communicates in asynchronous mode using a serial port and it also support direct connection in IEC 62056-21 optical port mode-E. In both the cases baud rates will vary while communicating and the client has to adjust server (meter) baud rate depending on chosen communication port. The other parameters which have to be maintained while communicating with server (meter) are the client maximum buffer size. All these parameters should be adjusted and programmed to communicate with the server (meter).

Data Link layer: The Data Link Layer comprises of two sub layers LLC and MAC sub layer. The HDLC layer as a standard contains seven fields; they are two flag delimiters at the starting and end of the HDLC layer, Frame format field, destination and source address, control field,

information field and FCS are other fields. The address fields can be of one, two and four byte addresses. Frame format field is two byte and it is of type 3. Control field is used to represent the type of the frame transmitting, it is one byte field. Information field is of any length which contains the data to be transmitted.

Logical Link Control: The LLC layer which is on the top of the MAC layer provides its services to the Application Layer. This is based on IEEE 802.2 standard. This layer consists of four fields Source address, Destination address, Control and Information. The data at LLC layer is known as LPDU.

Medium Access Control : The MAC layer provides its services to the physical layer and it uses the services of LLC layer. The MAC layer is used to perform Error detection and flow control. FCS and HCS are calculated in the MAC Layer. MAC Layer adds its header i.e. Source address and Destination address apart from HCS and FCS calculation. The MAC frames are known as MPDU's. The HDLC protocol is used at the MAC layer.

Application layer : xDLMS_ASE, ACSE and CF are the three elements present in Application Layer. The CF controls the ACSE and xDLMS elements for establishing the application association and accessing the COSEM objects. The xDLMS element is used to access the data attributes which are COSEM objects. The Application Control service element is used to provide rights to establish application associations.

COSEM objects: COSEM objects are arranged in logical device. A logical device consists of Association objects, Communication objects, Data objects. Association objects represent the type of association with the client. Communication objects represent the communication profile used. Data objects represent the data to be transmitted. All these are modeled in their interface classes .These modeled interface classes contains data in the form of attributes. Attributes are used to hold the data. Methods are used to perform actions on the attributes. Attributes can hold static data as well as a dynamic data. These attributes are modeled in their objects using ASN.1 representation. Modeled attributes are again encoded in A-XDR. The advantage with A-XDR encoding is, it can reduce the size of the APDU's. The encoded bytes are transformed in to messages which are called as messaging. These frames are transmitted through the protocol layers. Application protocol layer develop these messages by using its elements CF, ACSE and xDLMS_ASE. To communicate with the COSEM objects application association is specified with the conformance block to communicate with the server (meter).

Calling the Attributes: There are two methods available in DLMS for calling the attributes. They are short name referencing and logical name referencing. In short name referencing each attribute contains a DLMS named

variable. In Logical name referencing each attribute is called with the OBIS code and its instance. In Logical name referencing each data object contains unique OBIS code and all its attributes are referenced with the index.

OBIS codes : OBIS code is used to represent the parameters of the DLMS energy meter. OBIS code represents all parameters and objects in the energy meter. It is a code of six value groups. It is represented as “a. b. c. d. e. f”. Each value group will have a definite meaning. While communicating with energy meters using short names Read, Write and Unconfirmed Write are used as services. While communicating with Long Name referencing GET, SET, and ACTION are used as services.

Procedure to Communicate:

Step 1 : The energy meter operates in SNRM. An SNRM connection has to be established between client and the server (meter). The SNRM Connection provides logical connection between MAC layers of the client and server (meter).

Step 2 : An Application Association has to be established between the client and the server. Application Association is established using Application Control element and xDLMS functions of application layer. The Conformance block provides the types of services available for accessing the data.

Step 3 : After establishing the connection the data is accessed by sending Read, using short name referencing and Get while using logical name referencing.

All the services have to follow the HDLC protocol while communicating. The frames are made by representing the data in ASN.1 representation and Converting to A-XDR encoded frames followed by a HDLC protocol for transmission through optical Port or RS-232 port.

Results: The APDU's developed for communicating energy meters are tested in laboratory with DLMS complained energy meter.

After establishing logical connection by using the SNRM and Appl icat ion associat ion request f rames, communication with the server (meter) is possible. Different parameters from the meter are accessed selectively using these APDU's.

Conclusion: This paper gives information on how to communicate with digital energy meters which are modeled and protocol enabled based on DLMS / IEC 62056. A logical connection between client and server (meter) protocol layers is established to communicate with server (meter). By sending frames the data present in server (meter) is accessed by client.
