MOP Committee - 1
MOP commissioned a high level committee to recommend the suitable
OPEN protocol With Member CEA as Chairman and members drawn
from CPRI, NTPC, IEEMA, Utilities,
IEC 62056 – DLMS / COSEM

ANSI C12.xx
MODBUS

The MODBUS is also a widely used, time tested
open protocol but specifically developed for
process instrumentation and control. It is relatively
easy to implement and hence is chosen by a few
meter manufacturers in India. This protocol lacks
the IT oriented approach offered by the IEC
counterpart. A considerable standardization effort is
required for making this to meet the requirements
for metering purpose.

The ANSI is also an open protocol specifically
devised for Metering purpose. It is similar to
that of IEC 62056. This is widely used in North
America. Many provisions in ANSI are available
in IEC. The availability of a Conformance test Tool is
not known because of which the implementations
cannot be verified as of now.

The IEC 62056 is an open protocol exclusively evolved for
Metering purpose. It operates at meter level. A wide range of
data types like Instantaneous values, Tariff readings,
Parameter profiles, Demand values etc can be read either
selectively or in groups. The parameters are identified through
unique codes. The protocol can work with many common
communication medium. The protocol implementation can be
verified for conformance with the dedicated test tool which is
available with CPRI since 2004.
India has been aligning with IEC for standardization. In the

present effort to bring in uniform protocol and based on the
relative merits and demerits, IEC 62056 protocol would
become the natural choice for metering purposes in India.

• Client – Server Communication validation
• Pre and Post supply Testing and Certification
• Training Programs

S.No Provision Inference
1 Meter Physical meter - logical units - a few functions. “interface

Modeling objects” - Object Identification System (OBIS) which are
unique.
Interface objects are designed for metering data (eg Register
object, Demand Register object, Profile object etc.)
2 Messaging The procedure to form the packets (protocol data units) for
information exchange with server .
3 Transporting At present this standard supports Telephone line, GSM,

Twisted Pair, Optical port and TCP/IP – services to access
these communication medium are built in. Has an addressing
capability of 65000.

4 Interoperability In a typical application (revenue metering) the DLMS meters
of any make can coexist and exchange information with Host
(Client) having DLMS service module.
The compliance of a meter can be verified through
Conformance Testing.
Self description – By this process the server (meter) provides
its (capabilities) model with objects / function.
Provision for clearly identified country-specific OBIS codes
and manufacturer-specific OBIS codes. Process exists for
adding new OBIS codes through the DLMS-UA
5 Security Supports three security levels. Meter data can be divided into
multiple “Associations” each with a different security level.
1. No Security – Used for data transactions that do not require
security
2. Low level security – Password protected
3. High level security - cryptographic algorithm / keys, Encryption
– Algorithm not specified.

6 Open The standard documents are available for public
Standard (professionals) use.
Any vendor can develop the protocol stack / drivers /
modules.
7 Information Through Interface Classes / OBIS codes / logical
Access names / functions / attributes to read - Instantaneous
values, profiles, events, clock, cumulative, demand,
power quality parameters etc. The attributes are
names, values, units, scalars etc.
Model allows data to be identified as instantaneous
values, historical values, values per tariff, values per
phase etc.
8 Legacy A cluster of existing meters with proprietary protocol
System can be interfaced through a Concentrator.
The Concentrator input will be proprietary protocol
meters and out put will be dlms protocol output.
