Supported device types and versions

The protocol implements serial communication with devices according to international standard IEC62056-21, protocol mode C.

Communication line configuration

  • Communication line categories: Serial, SerialOverUDP Device Redundant, RFC2217 Client, MODEM.
  • To set the transmission parameters, use the even parity, 7 data bits, and 1 stop bit in all line categories!
  • A transfer rate according to the setting of a specific device or modem.
  • The implicit parameters comply with the MODEM line (tab "Modem - parameters"), the specific parameters can be configured by station protocol parameters for modem initialization.

Communication line protocol parameters

Configuration dialog box, tab Protocol parameters - select the protocol "IEC62056-21:2002 Serial".

Table 1

ParameterMeaningUnitDefault value
Area Code
The common call prefix for phone modem connection (only lines of MODEM category).

Software 7E1
The YES value activates SW emulation of transfer parameters of 7 data bits, even parity when the transfer parameters of 8 data bits, none parity, are set (i.e. emulation 7E1 when 8N1 is set).YES/NONO

Communication station configuration


  • Communication protocol "IEC62056-21:2002 Serial".
  • The station address (device) is optional. If the parameter is empty, the device must answer. If there are more devices on one line (e.g. RS485 bus), the device address must be set. The device address consists of a maximum of 32 characters that are formed from figures (0 - 9), capital letters (A - Z), small letters (a - z), or space ( ). The zeroes in front of a valid figure are ignored (i.e. address 10203 = 010203 = 000010203).

Station protocol parameters

Configuration dialog box - tab Protocol parameters.
These parameters influence some optional protocol parameters. Following station protocol parameters can be set:

Table 2

ParameterMeaningUnitDefault value
Modem Telephone Number
The phone number for connection via modem with this station (only lines of MODEM category).

Dial Timeout

Wait First Timeout
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 lower case 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 upper case letter, this does not preclude supporting a 20 ms reaction time.		ms200
Wait Timeout
The time delay between reading the answer till it is completed. See the note for the Wait First Timeout parameter.ms200
Max Wait Retry
A retry count of reading response until its completion.1 .. 10020
Retry Timeout
The delay between the request retries if the error communication occurs.ms1000 ms
Retry Count

Ack Delay
Delay after transmitting an acknowledgment of received data (ACK).ms100
Baudrate Changeover (Z)
Value of 'Z' parameter - Baud rate identification (for baud rate changeover) of Acknowledgement/option select message request of protocol's C mode.

Profile Time Mask
Date and time mask used to read historical data from the profile. Meaning of the "z" flag - see the description of the Session Recognition Flag parameter.

Time Round
Time rounding of data from a profile.min15

Profile Read Level

Access level used to read historical data from profile.0-95

Profile Read Mode

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 the size of Profile Read Block Length rows. Block reading makes sense on lines with higher error rates.

-VDEW read command (R5)

Profile Read Block Length

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)row4

Profile Read Formatted Execution

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> ).		-
Password - level 1
The password necessary for changing the configuration of the device (level 1) used to set the date and time.
"00000000"
Session Recognition Flag
A flag that indicates the type of date/time used by the device. Electrometers LZQJ manufactured by EMH Elektrizitätszähler indicates the type of date/time by this flag (0=Normal Time, 1=Summer Time, 2=UTC Time).
This flag is used by Time Mask and Date Mask parameters to set the time and by 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
Time Register
Register used to set the time.
The parameter is important only if the synchronization is enabled on the "Time parameters" tab in the configuration of the station.

The letter "z" is used for dátumu conversion according to the Session Recognition Flag parameter.
The parameter is important only if the 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 ddmmyy or require a year-month-day order (zyymmdd or yymmdd)

Time Date Mode

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

AT Command 1

A special initial string of modem 1 (only for MODEM lines).
AT&FE0V1Q0B0X3L0M0
AT Command 2
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 idle timeout expired. Necessary for assuring connection termination after the communication with the last device is over.
