M/441 - Utility meters

This part of IEC 62056 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 62056-6-2:2021;
- data transmitted through communication lines;
- data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2.
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.
NOTE EN 13757-1:2014 defines identifiers for metering equipment other than electricity: heat cost allocators, thermal energy, gas, cold water and hot water.

IEC 62056-3-1:2021 is available as IEC 62056-3-1:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 62056-3-1:2021 describes two sets of profiles: the first set of profiles allows a bidirectional communication between a client and a server. This set of profiles is made of three profiles allowing local bus data exchange with stations either energized or not. For non-energized stations, the bus supplies energy for data exchange. Three different profiles are supported:
• base profile: this three-layer profile provides remote communication services;
NOTE 1 This first profile was published in IEC 61142:1993 and became known as the Euridis standard.
• profile with DLMS: this profile allows using DLMS services as specified in IEC 61334 4 41;
NOTE 2 This second profile was published in IEC 62056-31:1999.
• profile with DLMS/COSEM: this profile allows using the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and the COSEM object model as specified in IEC 62056 5 3 and in IEC 62056 6 2 respectively.
The three profiles use the same physical layer and they are fully compatible, meaning that devices implementing any of these profiles can be operated on the same bus. The transmission medium is twisted pair using carrier signalling and it is known as the Euridis Bus.
The second set of profiles allows unidirectional communication between a given Energy Metering device and a Customer Energy Management System. This second set is made up of three profiles.
Subclause 4.2.1 to Clause 8 included specify the bidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling and Clause 9 to 9.5 the unidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62056-3-1, issued in 2013, and constitutes a technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
• addition of a profile which makes use of the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM Application layer and COSEM object model;
• review of the data link layer which is split into two parts:
– a pure Data Link layer;
– a "Support Manager" entity managing the communication media;
• ability to negotiate the communication speed, bringing baud rate up to 9 600 bauds.

IEC 62056-4-7:2015 specifies a connection-less and a connection oriented transport layer (TL) for DLMS/COSEM communication profiles used on IP networks. These TLs provide OSI-style services to the service user DLMS/COSEM AL. The connection-less TL is based on the Internet Standard User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The connection-oriented TL is based on the Internet Standard Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This first edition cancels and replaces the IEC 62056-47 published in 2006 and constitutes a technical revision.

This European Standard specifies a data model to abstract the metering world towards a simple external consumer display. The data model, as described by means of functional blocks contained in this European Standard, lays down the format of metering data accessible by a simple external consumer display. This data interface would be typically part of the meter communication functions and be accessed by a simple external consumer display via the H1 interface of the CEN/CLC/ETSI TR 50572 between the display and the meter communication functions. The data interface specified in this document may also be accessed by the LNAP or NNAP through the C or M interface, after which the data could be accessed by HBES devices through the H2 and H3 interface. In other words, in this way the same data model can be used both on the H1 as well as the H2 and H3 interface. The document specifies neither the communication mechanisms used on the data interface, nor the applied data privacy and security mechanisms nor the ergonomics of the simple external consumer displays, where national regulations may apply. The document does also not specify the communication protocol used between the meters and the meter communication functions. However, it takes into account the existing European standards like the EN 13757 series (in particular EN 13757-3:2013 and its Annex O) and the EN 62056 series for the definition of the data model.
