Hi,
This is my first post in gurux, so I want to say hello and thank you in advance for your help. :)
I'm trying to connect a Landis+Gyr ZMD405CT energy meter using Gurux DLMS Director.
The energy meter has the CU-G32 comunication module.
I'm using the RS485 comunication. And I use this converter to connect to pc: http://www.thomann.de/gb/moxa_uport_1130_usbrs485rs422.htm
I started with the initial configurations for Landis+Gyr: http://www.gurux.fi//GXDLMSDirectorExample
First time I used DLMS and after IEC in "Start Protocol". But in both cases I got this error: "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time."
Are my configurations wrong?:http://postimg.org/image/8bn1b5s7h/
BR,
Daniel
We are reading a LOT of L&G meters. With serial port usually problems are:
1. Start protocol is changed from IEC to DLMS and baud rate is changed to something else. You will know that baud rate is correct if you are receiving any feedback from the meter.
2. There is no power on external converter.
3. You are using your client's meter and they have changed password or None authentication is disabled.
Are you receiving any feedback from the meter?
If you are can you post it here? We will help you to get data from your meter.
I have tested GXDLMSDirector with meter Landis+Gyr E550 and connection TCP/IP is established with success. But when is sent SNRM, don't receive response (UA).

I am new and I now testing also Landis ZMD405 meter.
when I run GXDLMSDirector i can connect and read profile from meter. I use settings:

- Wait Time: 5
- Client Address: 10
- Address type: SerialNumber

- Logical Server: 1
- Host Name: ip address of converter IP <-> rs485 (meter have B4+ module)
- port: 4001
- protocoal: TCP
GXDLMSDirector i download and compile .net version, so I have newest 7.0.48.1
When I would like to do this in Gurux Device Suite Director ver. 1.1.19.1 I have problem with serial number that is not possible to configure.
In a first step I open Device Editor to make profile of Landis Gyr through Wizard, I fill form

Protocol: DLMS
Manufacturer: Landis+Gyr
Authentication: none
Addressing: SerialNumber
SerialNumber: I just typed some serial
LogicalAddress: 1
Resend Count: 0
Wait Time: 10sek
Next step i come back to Gurux Device Suite Director and click new device
I see my new profile of device and check them
I fill form:

Wait time: 10 sek
Authentication: none

_Addressing_

If you see, both configuration panel are not same.
The main problem is that there is not possible to change serial number. Serial NUmber on this meter is mandatory to make connection.
I think this is great information, because on the GXDLMSDirector landis work fine, but there aren't scheduler and DB writer.
Can you share me information about possibilities of testing this software in java version ?
I also having one Landis+Gyr E550 meter but when i try to connect using GXDirector, it return me error message "Failed to receive reply from the device in given time." I am using Tespro device to communicate it by serial. I can see the value in the meter but how come i communicate. Please help me.. thanks.
Hi,
I appreciate your attention and I wonder to know how can I get access to metering communication cable pin-out schematic (diagram) for ZMQ202C that include CU-B4 communication unit? Is it just an standard type of RS-232 cable? I tried several times but I didn't get any response??
All LG E550 meters do not support DLMS. They have IEC or DLMS support.
First check is there DLMS label on the cover of the meter. If is,
you should be able to read your meter with GXDLMSDirector.
There are different versions from CU-B4. Make sure that you are using RS-232 version.
If your version is RS485, you can broke your converter. Voltage levels are 5 and 12 v.
Can you connect using optical eye? I can't remember do you need to eneble that module first.
Hi,
It's "Landis+Gyr Dialog CU-B4/+" type that In which has two types of point of connection (a RS-232 junction point and a RS-485).
I really confused that how I can connect to this meter (ZMQ202C)? Which type of cable is proper for it?
For your information, according to the communication unit type it is a must that cable must be from RJ-12 port to DB-9 port.
thanks for your reply, but I didn't get my question response yet!!
As I said before, I want to make my own cable for this purpose. I built it according to standard pinouts cabling (see: http://pinout.net/pinout-scheme/479/RJ12%20to%20rs232), but it doesn't worked. I just looking for the solution?
Can you loan cable from anyone for testing? Communicating with meters is difficult.
There are several things what might go wrong.
You can try with default serial port communication settings: Baud rate 300, 7E1.
If your meter is not answering anything, starting baud rate might be something else.
Hi again,
Sorry for being late in response to your last comment. As you may know, I have no chance but to build a hand made RJ-12 to RS-232(DB9) cable. So, I just need to insure that which one of (RJ12 to rs232) cable communication way is right ?
Beside, is it vital for MAP110 Service Tool users to register this software via licensing? Is the restrictions that mentioned in user manual for DEMO version users just belong to functions or also in communication?

Hi,
I m trying to connect to my Landis+Gyr E250 DLMS meter with DLMS director with default settings but getting some error. Can you please tell me what parameters i have to set for getting data.
I am connecting meter to directly with laptop through USB to Serial converter. Can we do this ?
What should i put in physical address, client address etc. ??
Hi,
Please, create own topic if you have a question.
Select Landis+Gyr as the manufacturer. The hostname is IP address of the meter. Port number you can find from the documentation or ask from the vendor.

Hi,
I have some bad news for you. We have started support for DLMS meters only. For this reason we are focusing DLMS libraries and GXDLMSDirector.
We are adding Gurux Device Suite functionality (scheduler, DB writer) to the GXDLMSDirector but this will take some time.
You can read more from here:

Hi MIkko
in the previous message you inform that you have some plan to add scheduling and db writer to the GXDLMSDirector
do you know when it can be happen ?

Hi,
Is DB-9 port RS232 or RS485 port? If that is RS232 then you connect it to RS-232 port of your module and vice versa.
