Building a COSEM meter
Model the application
specify the functions required
map application data to COSEM objects
specify structure: logical devices, associations (object
list)
Specify associations: application context, DLMS
context, authentication mechanism, security
Choose communication profile, bind logical
devices
choose layer options, parameters

Student work: Emeter modelling
Specifications.
E-meter has to store the following data every 15 minutes
It has to store a profile with the measured harmonic every 5
minutes
Also, it has to store an ID manufacturer and a serie number
Units to be used are: Wh, VAr, Vah, A, V
Monitorizacin y Control de Redes de Energa
M.U. Ingeniera Industrial
Student work: Emeter modelling
Step 1: Choose a class for each measured
magnitude and for the profile and create objetcs
Use the IEC 62056-62 standard to get an overview of the
available classes.
An object is an instance of a class. Each object has
configurable parameters to be defined (named
attributes).
o For example: logical name, value, scaler unit, etc.

Student work: Emeter modelling
Step 2:Find a logical name for each object
The logical name is denoted as OBI.
The list of OBIS can be found in the appendix D of IEC
62056-62 standard.
Step 3: Prepare a document with the list of objects
with all the information needed to use the emeter.
Optional: Define the objects to store association
information and create a billing profile
