DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit: The Ultimate Solution for Designing and Implementing DLMS COSEM Servers

The DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit developed by Andrea Informatique is the essential solution for designing and implementing a wide range of DLMS COSEM servers, including electricity, gas, and water meters, as well as other DLMS equipment. Designed to offer a clear and efficient approach, this toolkit allows for the development of target products under optimal conditions.
 

DLMS COSEM is the reference standard for communication in smart meters, recognized not only in the metering industry but also across various components of the Smart Grid. This standard provides a unified approach that bridges the gap between utilities and providers, ensuring a secure and transparent flow of information and data.

A Complete Platform, More Than Just a Software Stack

Our DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit goes beyond a simple software stack. It is a fully-fledged development platform designed to integrate seamlessly with your target hardware. Thanks to its advanced APIs covering communication modules, objects, and classes, this toolkit allows for the rapid and efficient deployment of reliable and cost-effective smart equipment.

Comprehensive Support to Address the Challenges of Smart Metering

At Andrea Informatique, we understand the complex challenges faced by providers and utilities in the smart metering sector. That’s why we offer a complete software and service package that goes far beyond just providing the toolkit. This package includes the DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit, the integration of key objects, a communication interface, complete validation, and access to our interoperability platform PHENIX, the generic test tool. In addition, we offer dedicated support to ensure the successful deployment of your equipment.

Flexible and Optimized APIs

The DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit includes several APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow developers to implement any DLMS class or object, or to adapt specific elements to local needs. It also allows for the modification of existing element logic, the integration of any communication interface, and the connection of encryption algorithms in a secure and flexible environment.

DLMS COSEM Object Implementation: Streamlining Object Management in Smart Metering

The DLMS COSEM Object Implementation graphic offers a detailed view of how the DLMS COSEM Server Toolkit from Andrea Informatique manages object integration and customization within smart metering systems. This toolkit enables developers to work with various DLMS COSEM objects and customize their implementation to meet specific market or project needs.

At the core, the graphic outlines the process for adding and customizing DLMS COSEM objects. The API for adding objects simplifies the process of integrating new objects into the system, whether it’s for new data points or enhanced functionality. Multiple objects, such as Object1, Object2, and ObjectN, can be added seamlessly to the DLMS COSEM Object Implementation (IEC 62056-62) layer, ensuring smooth interaction within the meter.

Additionally, developers can use the API for customizing existing objects to modify previously implemented objects, adapting them to evolving requirements. This flexibility is crucial for utilities and providers who need to meet different local regulations or client-specific configurations.

The graphic also highlights the API for customizing object logic, allowing for the modification of logic components like Logic1 and Logic2. This layer provides the ability to adapt the internal functioning of each object, ensuring the meter’s behavior aligns with operational needs.

The diagram further details how the DLMS COSEM Interface Classes (IEC 62056-62) and DLMS COSEM Application Layer (IEC 62056-53) can be integrated via flexible APIs for adding communication modules. These include technologies such as UDP/IP, GPRS, IPv6 G3-PLC, HDLC, and Serial/Optical, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of communication standards.

The combination of object customization and the flexibility to add or modify communication layers makes this toolkit a powerful solution for developers and system integrators, ensuring seamless integration and efficient performance in smart metering environments.
