    EZReader is a simple program that reads values stored in COSEM/DLMS meters. It displays the objects and their descriptions in the meter in an upper pane and shows attribute values in XML format in a lower pane. It supports both TCP and HDLC communication profiles. The user guide outlines the steps to connect to a meter, read the object list, and then normally view attribute values by selecting objects and attributes.

    EZReader
    EZReader is a simple ''DLMS reader'' of values
    stored in a COSEM/DLMS meter. In the upper pane,
    it displays the ''objects'' hosted by the meter
    (COSEM instances), each with a logical name (OBIS
    code), class-id and description. The lower pane
    shows the values displayed in xml format. The log
    view shows the raw protocol data sent (green) and
    received (red) with the corresponding xml
    translation. EZReader supports both the TCP and
    Screen shot (click to enlarge)
    the HDLC communication profiles. EZReader is build
    with the code of the COSEM/DLMS package components: xmlpdu for the xml
    presentation, ezhdlc for the HDLC profile and wrapper for the TCP profile.

    If you are not familiar with DLMS/COSEM please read first our survival kit document.

    Here is a short user's guide: Steps 1, 2 and 3 must be done for each association in
    each device. Then, step 4 is the normal usage.

    1 : Select ''Show/Settings...''

    Select either the TCP profile or the HDLC profile.

    For the TCP profile, set the Server IP:Port, for example 192.168.10.12:4059

    For the HDLC profile, set a COM port, and (if needed) set a physical address, else let
    it blank. The details of the HDLC addressing are described here (see HDLC). In short:
    for 1 byte addressing, let the physical address blank; else set the required value.
    Check Mode E if required (mostly with optical probes), else (when the channel uses
    direct HDLC) set Baud.

    Set the Referencing model: LN for logical name referencing, supported by almost all
    meters or SN for short name referencing.

    Set the Timeouts. Connect timeout (in ms) is the maximum time allowed to
    ''connect'' to the meter (for example 2000, more for TCP). Response timeout (in ms)
    is the maximum time allowed to receive a response to a request (for example 2000,
    more for TCP).

    Set the Addresses. For a first try, set the (mandatory) public client address (16) else
    set the required address. For server address set 1, which is the mandatory
    management-logical-device, else set another value as needed.

    When the client is public, then the association is established without access security
    (NO_SECURITY). Otherwise, the access security must be
    either LOW_SECURITY(password) or one of the HIGH_SECURITY variants (4-
    passes authentication). EZReader supports NO_SECURITY and LOW_SECURITY in
    which case the password is set in the Psw field.

    Let the Object-list file field blank and close the Settings dialog.

    2 : Select ''Do/Connect''

    This opens the HDLC or the TCP connection and sends an AssociationRequest to the
    meter and expects an AssociationResponse indicating ''success''. The
    log (Show/Log...) displays the details of the exchange. If the association cannot be
    established, then an error message is displayed. It is not possible to proceed until an
    association can be established, i.e. the settings must be correct.

    3 : Select "Do/Read object-list"

    The upper pane is populated only when EZReader knows the objects available in the
    meter. The object-list must be read only once per association. When the object-list is
    read, a save dialog is opened that requires a file name to save the list to a file.

    When the Object-list file is saved, re-open the settings dialog and check that the
    Object-list file is correct, then click Save Settings... to save all these settings to a
    file.

    Previously saved settings can be retrieved using Load Settings...

    4 : Normal usage

    On startup, EZReader automatically reloads the last settings. The object-list is shown
    in the upper pane.

    Then, clicking (right or left) into the logical name column in the upper pane, displays a
    pop-up menu with the names of the attributes available in the selected instance.
    Clicking an attribute, reads it and displays its value in xml format into the lower pane.

    The object-list can be sorted by clicking on the column headers.

    Please note:

    Don't hesitate to report any issue or suggestion to the e-mail address below.

    EZReader displays the descriptions of the COSEM instances according to the official
    DLMS/UA "Object_defs_vx.y'' document. We can deliver a dll that just does that: from
    an OBIS code, retrieve the corresponding description.
