BS EN IEC 62056-8-4:2019

What is BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4-Electricity metering data exchange about?  

BS EN IEC 62056 discusses electricity metering data exchange. BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 belongs to BS EN IEC 62056 multi-series and discusses the DLMS/COSEM suite.  

BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 specifies DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for narrow-band OFDM power line carrier PRIME neighbourhood networks using the modulation as specified in recommendation ITU-T G.9904:2012. Three communication profiles are specified: 

• A profile using the IEC 61334-4-32 LLC layer
• A profile using TCP-UDP/IPv4
• A profile using TCP-UDP/IPv6

Who is BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4-Electricity metering data exchange for? 

BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 on electricity metering data exchange is useful for: 

• Government agencies  
• Energy Companies  
• Utility Providers 
• Meter manufacturers 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4-Electricity metering data exchange? 

BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 provides you with specific communication profile standards for communication media relevant for smart metering. Such communication profile standards specify how the COSEM data model and the DLMS/COSEM application layer can be used on the lower, communication media-specific protocol layers.  

BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 provides you with the DLMS/COSEM communication profiles using Recommendation ITU-T G.9904:2012 Narrow-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing power line communication transceivers for PRIME networks. BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 applies to devices installed on the neighbourhood network. BS EN IEC 62056‑8‑4 helps you with communication profile standards for communication media relevant for smart metering.
