The 62056 OPC Server implements IEC 62056-21 (EN 62056-21, formerly IEC 61107) protocol. This protocol is designed for electricity metering (data exchange for meter reading, tariff and load control). Note that this protocol is part of larger protocol family, and is also known under different names, so if you are unsure whether this product is for your protocol, please contact us for clarification. Names like DLMS and FLAG are all related to IEC62056 (EN62056), but are not the same.

• Acts as communication master
• Connect directly through serial connection (RS232 or RS485), or using Ethernet (TCP/IP convertor such as Lantronix)
• Any standardized baud rate
• Automatic error checking and recovery
• All standardized message formats
• Protocol Mode C; other modes may be added on demand
• Diagnostics and troubleshooting
• Specifications: OPC Data Access 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, OPC Alarms and Events, OPC Universal Architecture (under development). Tested for compliance with standards and interoperability.
• Runs under operating systems ranging from Windows 2000 to Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.
• Configurable OPC address space with pre-defined meter structures.
• Multi-threaded, non-blocking design for high performance.
• No limits to number of connections, subscriptions, or tags. Device communication isolated from OPC interface for increased resiliency.
• Built-in simulation and a library of simulation signals.
• Runs as out-of-process servers or as a service.
• Easy installation.

We have developed this OPC server for use with Elster A1700 meters. Other devices may differ in their implementation of the protocol. We can work with you to customize the OPC server for the device you want to use.
