Connecting to an Iskraemeco ME162 Meter using GXDLMS Director

DLMSDirector

Hi - I am attempting to connect to an Iskraemeco ME162 Meter using an OPTO USB Serial device, I am able to read live values from the Meter using Test of IEC1107 software supplied from Meter Test equipment where I purchased the OPTO USB device.

I cannot however seem to connect using the GXDLMS Director software, tried using the initial settings as posted on this website, I have selected serial and matched settings (e.g. COM port and baud rate etc to the device) however the device fails to connect - I am hoping someone has done this before and are able to share settings or provide tips?

Thanks, Kieran

Hi Mikko,

Thanks for getting back to me, do you know of any freeware software out there that allows connection to this meter in accordance with IEC 62053-21?

The basic 'Test of IEC1107' software I have only allows me to read from the meter, I would like to be able to update the time and date on the meter.

BRs, Kieran

Hi Kieran,

There are differences between meter implementations for IEC 62053-21.
The writing especially varies between meter manufacturers. You should ask the meter vendor which software to use.
