19.1 Communication interfaces
Different interfaces like optical or electrical interfaces (RS485) are available for reading or
configuring the meter. Using one of these interfaces the meter can be readout by a handheld
unit or PC in combination with an optical probe or by connection the meter to a modem for AMR
purposes.
The data protocol is implemented according the DLMS/COSEM protocol. The data model is
compliant to IDIS package 2 and 3
