I am working in a project where need to communicate with NON DLMS meters that use the IEC 62056-21

Is it possible if Gurux serial can be used to handle the communication

Hi,

Yes, you can use Gurux Serial. You just need to set the correct serial port settings.

Hi Mikko,

Can we use GXDLMSDirector or Gurux DLMS library to communicate with non-DLMS meters that follow the IEC 62056-21 protocol?

The reason I ask is that the request and response format in non-DLMS IEC 62056-21 meters is different from DLMS meters.

Also, is it possible to communicate with such non-DLMS meters from an Android application using Gurux libraries?

Hi,

No, you can't. DLMS and IEC 62056-21 are two totally different protocols.

You can get more information by reading: IEC 62056-21 is not DLMS/COSEM:
