The parameter is implemented only for TCP/IP-TCP line category. The parameter activates the disconnection of the TCP connection after each reading cycle, or after time synchronization. The parameter was implemented to enable communication between other devices and electricity meters.

YES/NO

NO

The common call prefix for phone modem connection (only lines of the MODEM category).

The YES value activates SW emulation of transfer parameters of 7 data bits, even parity, when the transfer parameters of 8 data bits, no parity, are set (i.e., emulation 7E1 when 8N1 is set).

YES/NO

NO

The phone number for connection via modem with this station (only lines of the MODEM category).

The maximum waiting time on connection via modem (only lines of the MODEM category).

sec

60

The maximum number of attempts to connect via modem (only lines of the MODEM category).

1..20

1

Delay before attempting to dial after an unsuccessful connection attempt (only lines of the MODEM category).

sec

30

The time delay between sending the request and reading the answer.
Note: a device sends a 3-character manufacturer's identification in the identification message. The standard defines that if the 3-rd character is a lowercase letter (e.g., in identifications ELm or UNi), the minimum reaction time for such a device is 20 ms instead of 200 ms. If the 3-rd character is an uppercase letter, this does not preclude supporting a 20 ms reaction time.

ms

200

The time delay between reading the answer till it is completed. See the note for the Wait First Timeout parameter.

ms

200

A retry count for reading the response until its completion.

1 .. 100

20

The delay between the request retries, if a communication error occured.

ms

1000 ms

A number of retries in case of a communication error.

1 .. 20

Timeout for waiting for an answer to the modem hangup operation (only lines of the MODEM category).

Activation of a passive mode, which corresponds to IEC62056-21, protocol mode D (no requests are sent, data arrives spontaneously)

YES/NO

NO

Value of 'Z' parameter - Baud rate identification (for baud rate changeover) of Acknowledgement/option select message request of protocol's C mode.

The parameter enables the reading of the historical data from the profile.

YES/NO

YES

Profile name - OBIS code of the load profile used during the reading of historical data from the profile.

P.01

Date and time masks used for reading historical data from the profile. Meaning of the "z" flag - see the description of the Session Recognition Flag parameter.
The letter " z" is used to set the time and is replaced by a value of 0, 1, or 2 according to the Session Recognition Flag parameter.

zyymmddhhmi

Time depth of historical profile readings.

hour

24

Time rounding of data from a profile.

min

15

The time range of data that is queried from the profile in one request. It is entered as a multiple of the "Time Round" parameter.
Note: The value 0 means reading all historical data at once.

x Time Round

2

Access level used to read historical data from the profile.

0-9

5

Method of reading from the profile:

• VDEW read command (R5) : READ command will be used (the R5 default level can be changed by the Profile Read Level parameter).

• VDEW block read command (R6) : BLOCK READ command will be used (the default level should be changed to R6 by Profile Read Level parameter).

• P1 + VDEW read command (R5) : first, a Level 1 password will be set (see the Password - level 1 parameter), and then the READ command will be used 

• P1 + VDEW block read command (R6): first, a Level 1 password will be set (see the Password - level 1 parameter), and then the BLOCK READ command will be used 

BLOCK READ divides the data into several blocks with a size of Profile Read Block Length rows. Block reading makes sense on lines with higher error rates.

-

VDEW read command (R5)

Block size (number of rows) if BLOCK READ from the profile is used - if Profile Read Mode is VDEW block read command (R6) or P1 + VDEW block read command (R6)

row

4

This parameter enables specifying a special sequence that may be required by some electrometers. So far the only known sequence is F101()
(The whole sequence sent to electrometers is <SOH>E2<STX>F101()<ETX><SOH> ).

-

If the meter does not respond when reading data from the profile, the next time interval is read (YES) or the reading is interrupted and the reading of the profile for the problematic time interval is repeated during the next data reading from the station (NO).
Note: this behavior had to be implemented for the AMT B23 FR4TDI4 power meter.

YES/NO

NO

The password necessary for changing the configuration of the device (level 1) used to set the date and time.

"00000000"

A flag that indicates the type of date/time used by the device. Electrometers LZQJ, manufactured by EMH Elektrizitätszähler, indicate the type of date/time by this flag (0=Normal Time, 1=Summer Time, 2=UTC Time).
This flag is used by the Time Mask and Date Mask parameters to set the time and by the Profile Time Mask parameter to read historical data from the profile.
Note: Both Normal Time and Summer Time values will cause the flag to be set depending on the time currently set or read.

Normal Time
Summer Time
UTC Time

Normal time

Register used to set the time.
The parameter is important only if synchronization is enabled on the "Time parameters" tab in the configuration of the station.

0.9.1

Mask used to set the time.
The letter "z" is used for time conversion according to the Session Recognition Flag parameter.
The parameter is important only if synchronization is enabled on the "Time parameters" tab in the configuration of the station.
Note: Some meters are disturbed by summer/winter time ("z") flag and require mask hhmiss

zhhmiss

Register used to set the date.
The parameter is important only if synchronization is enabled on the "Time parameters" tab in the configuration of the station.

0.9.2

Mask used to set the date.
The letter "z" is used for dátumu conversion according to the Session Recognition Flag parameter.
The parameter is important only if synchronization is enabled on the "Time parameters" tab in the configuration of the station.
Note: Some meters are disturbed by the summer/winter time ("z") flag and require mask ddmmyy or require a year-month-day order (zyymmdd or yymmdd)

zddmmyy

Special settings used when setting the date and time. These may be required by some electricity meters.

• Normal: no special settings

• (00000000): this string is added after the written date/time.
  Example: if Date Mask is zddmmyy,  the date 31 Dec 2019 is written as (0311219)(00000000)

Normal
(00000000)

Normal

A special initial string of modem 1 (only for MODEM lines).

AT&FE0V1Q0B0X3L0M0

A special initial string of modem 2 (only for MODEM lines).

Explanation of recommended settings:

S37=5   1200bps DTE-DTE speed - limits the speed for modems. Many devices use modems with limited transfer speeds and this setting can speed-up the connection establishment process. Higher transfer speeds must be negotiated individually.

&D2   DTR drop to hangup - for matching with the parameter of modem line (line configuration, tab "Modem - parameters", check the option "Use DTR for Hangup").

S0=0   Disable auto-answer. Auto-answer will not be used.

S30=2   20 sec inactivity timeout - automatic hangup after the idle timeout expired. Necessary for assuring connection termination after the communication with the last device is over.

ATS37=5&D2S0=0S7=60S30=2

Full tracing of communication, loaded values of I/O tags, and other debug information are shown.

YES/NO

NO

The parameter is used to ignore the "Number of Periods" value that a particular electricity meter (Schrack LZQJ) sent in the data reading for the Demand Register (class_id = 5). He sent this between the OBIS code and the value itself, which led to an unsuccessful attempt by the D2000 KOM process to interpret the value as an optional timestamp and subsequently to discard the entire data line read. Example of such a data line:
1.4.0(007)(0224*kW)
Note: sending "Number of Periods" does not comply with IEC62056-21.

YES/NO

NO

It activates data processing according to the software implementation of the protocol from Unicontrols.

YES/NO

NO

Activates reading of profile index (map of records stored in memory) within the reading of historical data from profile (Unicontrols device only). The retrieved index is not processed further and serves only as debugging information for Unicontrols.

YES/NO

NO

Ignore packet checksum. The packet will be processed even if the checksum does not match.

YES/NO

NO
