BS EN 62056-42:2002 Electricity metering. Data exchange for meter reading, tariff and load control. Physical layer services and procedures for connection-oriented asynchronous data exchange
This part of IEC 62056 specifies the physical layer services and protocols within the
Companion Specification for Energy Metering (COSEM) three-layer connection oriented
profile for asynchronous data communication. The document does not specify physical layer
signals and mechanical aspects. Local, implementation-specific issues are also not specified.
In annex A, an example of how this physical layer can be used for data exchange through the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using intelligent Hayes modems is given.
The use of the physical layer for the purposes of direct local data exchange using an optical
port or a current loop physical interface is specified in IEC 62056-21.
Annex B gives an explanation of the role of data models and protocols in electricity meter
data exchange.
