Gurux DLMS/COSEM

Gurux DLMS/COSEM component is designed to simplify communication with DLMS/COSEM devices. With Gurux DLMS/COSEM you can easily communicate with DLMS/COSEM devices, by using the data connection, and the device manufacturer of your own choice. The component is part of the Gurux GXCom component package, and is based on the Microsoft COM technology. Gurux DLMS/COSEM protocol component is OpenSource, and therefor available to anyone interested.
To be able to utilize the Gurux DLMS/COSEM component completely, you need at least a Pentium II class PC compatible computer, with at least 64 MB of RAM and 10 MB of free hard disk space. The component supports Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and 7.
The DLMS/COSEM component is designed to help you to develop DLMS/COSEM based communication solutions using TCP/IP, terminal or serial port connection.
If you are not familiar with DLMS/COSEM, check the supported standard IEC 62056, parts 21, 42, 46, 47, 53, 61 and 62. The component comes with context help, and sample codes.
Before using DLMS/COSEM component, at least the ClientID and ServerID must be set. You might need to set also the InterfaceType property, and check the manufacturer if the device supports IEC 62056-47.If ClientID, ServerID or IntefaceType are wrong, device usually does not reply at all. For instructions, how to initialize different connection types, and how to communicate with the actual physical device, see the context help of the component.
