20/137


Communication requirements

There are several possibilities to communicate with the meter. In the following,communication via both the optical communication adapter OKK and theelectrical interface with a modem is described.

Installation and settings of the optical communication adapter (OKK)

The optical communication adapter OKK enables communication between a PCand a meter. At the meter, communication to the optical data interface D0takes place. Connection to the PC takes place, depending on the version anddesign, via a COM-Port or a USB interface.

Procedure:Connect the optical communication adapter OKK to a free COM-Portor a free USB interface on your PC (depending on the design of the OKK). Ifyou have an OKK with USB connection then a special USB driver must be

installed. The driver can be found on the CD-ROM which is contained in thedelivery with the OKK. Tips for the installation of the driver can also be foundon the CD-ROM.

Note :Before communication can take place with the meter the interface mustbe configured under Setting > Program settings ...>RegisterGeneral(see page 38).

Setting up the local modem

In order to communicate with the meter via the modem function someparameters need to be defined for the local modem and the meter modem inadvance. For more information about this see page 40.

Note:For remote meter readout a standard commercial PC modem is used. Onthe basis of our many years of experience we recommend an external modemwhich is addressed with the Standard-Hayes-operations set. The advantage ofthis modem is its audible loud speaker function and the LED status display.With the set up of a communication line you can observe the connectionestablishment (visually by means of the LED and acoustically by means of theloud speaker).

A modern analog modem is able to call both analog meter modems and GSM

meter modems and is also able to read out the meter.On the basis of our long term experience we would like to inform you of thefollowing:Internal modem cards are technically equivalent however, if there areproblems, the error search is more difficult. Admittedly ISDN-cards offer thepossibility of an analog modem emulation via the so-called virtual COM-Portshowever, in practice, they often cause many problems. Therefore it is notrecommended to use an ISDN-card.

Questions and answers

1. No communication to the meter takes place. After a few seconds theannouncement Timeout in the communication, Login not possibleappears.

Possible causes :- The optical communication adapter is not attached properly or not

connected correctly.

- The interface is not set correctly. When using an optical communicationadapter OKK please check the information for the COM-Port in the menuSettings. Perhaps you must select another COM-Port.

- The baud rate is not selected correctly. When using an opticalcommunication adapter OKK select in the menu Settings-Mode C. With thissetting, the PC and the meter set the optimal baud rate themselves.

2. Communication with the meter takes place however, the read out seems tobe faulty. After ending the communication the error announcement appearsthat the BCC check was incorrect.

Possible causes :

- With laptops the energy saving function can be activated which switchesoff the hard disc after a certain period of time. If a hard disc access thentakes place (e.g. for the saving of storage area elsewhere),it is not

possible to access the hard disc immediately. Delays in the programoperation then occur and this can cause reading errors. In this casedeactivate the energy saving function via Start > Settings > Control Panel >Power Options.

- Your PC does not have enough RAM (Random Access Memory). If lessthan 32 MB are installed then often the RAM has to be put on to a harddisc. With some computers, due to delays, reading mistakes are caused.

- The Buffer (FIFO) of the serial interface has not been set correctly. Withtransmission problems try out different settings. Unfortunately a generalsetting tip cannot be given.

- When using a laptop and a passive optical communication adapter OKKthen, due to a reduced voltage supply, the voltage at the serial interfaceis no longer enough for a faultless data transmission. In this case werecommend using an optical communication adapter OKK with a USBconnection.

Load profile data

The meter sends for example the following load profile data:

/EMH4\@01LZQJC0014F_P0_()_`

P.01(10304280000;10304290000)_P.01(1030428001500)(00000000)(15)(2)(1.5)(kW)(3.5)(kvar)(1.484)(0.600)(1.480)(0.600)...

This format can be converted by EMH-COMBI-MASTER 2000 so that the datacan be saved as a changed text file and then imported into a table calculatione.g. MS Excel. When table 2 from the meter (pre-configured with load profiles)or the load profile is read out via the menu optionReadout > Load Profile...,themeter sends all measured load profile channels. Depending on the type orconfiguration of the meter the load profile channels can be defined differently.The load profile contains information about which OBIS value (OBIS=Object-Identification-System) stands for the individual channels.

Explanation of the rows:P.01(1030428001500)(00000000)(15)(2)(1.5)(kW)(3.5)(kvar):

(1.5) OBIS code of the first channel (P+)(kW) Unit of the first channel(3.5) OBIS code of the second channel (Q+)(kvar) Unit of the second channel

Explanation of the rows (1.484)(0.600):

(1.484) 1,484 kW(0.600) 0,600 kvar

After conversion, the load profile file (without separators) is as follows1:

Date Start End 1.5kW 3.5kvar Su/Wi Status28.04.04 00:00 00:15 1,484 0,6 S 0000 000028.04.04 00:15 00:30 1,48 0,6 S 0000 0000

Every row is equal to a measuring period (usually 15 minutes) and containsinformation about the start- and end time. If the meter supports informationabout the season identifier then Sfor summer time or Wfor winter time isentered. The status column contains information about certain events which themeter saves (for the construction see VDEW requirement specifications). Theseevents are mainly voltage failure/return, setting the clock, season change(winter/summer time), cumulation etc. If nothing occurs then 0000 0000 is theoutput.

1The layout of the text rows can be changed via Setting > Program settings... > Export format.
