What is BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 about?
The IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM suite provides specific communication profile standards for communication media relevant for smart metering. BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 describes how the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and the COSEM object model as specified in IEC 62056‑5‑3:2017, IEC 62056‑6‑1:2017 and IEC 62056‑6‑2:2017 can be used over the lower layers specified in the IEC 14908 series, forming a DLMS/COSEM ISO/IEC 14908 communication profile.
Who is BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 for?
BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 on electricity metering data exchange is useful for:
- Government agencies
- Energy Companies
- Utility Providers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8?
Electricity metering data exchange makes meter reading easier. Electricity metering data exchange can also provide more advanced services, such as storage of load curves and monitoring of customer consumption.
BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 guides you with the COSEM data model and the DLMS/COSEM application layer that can be used on the lower communication media-specific protocol layers.
The lowest layer of the OSI model is concerned with data communication in the form of electrical, optic, or electromagnetic signals physically transmitting information between network devices and infrastructure. BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑8 helps you with the lowest layer of usability and helps to transfer data
