18/96 Description of user interface

5.4 Device definition window

Device definition windows show a parameter representation of a device
type (in this user manual only the parameterisation tree is described, since
the service tree is only supported for some older firmware versions of spe-
cific devices).
Normally the device definition window is represented maximised, i.e. it uses
the entire space in the MAP120 Parameter Editor.
Clicking the button in the upper right corner of the MAP120 downsizes
the device definition window, so that more than one device definition win-
dow can be displayed at once. Using the entries "Cascade" or "Tile" from
the "Window" menu allows automatic arrangements of windows.

1 Left-hand half of window with tree representation of device definition

2 Movable separating bar
3 Right-hand half of window with detailed view of selected tree items

Device definition windows are divided into two by a movable separating bar
(moved by clicking and shifting the bar). The left-hand half of the window
contains a general tree representation, while on the right are displayed de-
tails of the current tree item marked (parameter or folder).
The active window half can be changed by pressing [F6] or by clicking in
the other window half. This does not change the focus and marking in the
newly activated window half. In the basic condition the first tree item is se-
lected in the left-hand half and the first element for modification or the first
button in the right-hand half. Both sectors of the window have horizontal
and/or vertical picture scrolling functions if part of the window half cannot
be seen. Scrolling does not affect either the focus or the current marking.

Clicking the button in the upper right corner of a downsized device

definition window maximises the device definition window again.

Description of user interface 19/96

Tree representation A tree representation, e.g. as generally familiar from the file system tree of
Windows Explorer, is ideally suited for clear presentation of ordered struc-
tures (e.g. of files placed in folders and sub-folders) and is therefore used
for the representation of device definitions.

Tree items A tree consists of a hierarchic arrangement of tree items (folders and
parameters).
The tree items are represented as follows:
Root folder
Folder
Parameter
Modified parameter (with asterisk)
Read-only parameter
Various statuses of parameters are indicated with different colours of tree
items.

Folder handling Each folder can be expanded and collapsed individually. If the tree is fully
collapsed, only the root folder remains visible, which represents the entire
device (all parameters).
Collapsed folder items are preceded by an expansion sign , expanded
folder items by a collapse sign .
To expand or collapse folders there are the following possibilities:
Using the mouse:
 Clicking on the expansion sign of a folder expands this folder
(the expansion sign changes to a collapse sign ).
 Clicking on the collapse sign of a folder collapses this folder
(the collapse sign changes to an expansion sign ).

D000011154 en t – MAP120 – Parameter Editor – User Manual © Landis+Gyr

20/96 Description of user interface

Using the keyboard:

 Pressing the [*] key of the numerical keyboard expands the whole tree
below the selected folder (i.e. all subfolders and parameters will be
visible).
 Pressing the [/] key of the numerical keyboard collapses the whole
tree below the selected folder (i.e. all subfolders and parameters will no
longer be visible).
 Pressing the [+] or [–] key of the numerical keyboard toggles between
the expanded and collapsed tree representation.

5.5 Trace window

 Additional knowledge required

Additional knowledge is required to analyse communication activities.

Clicking on in the tool bar shows or hides the trace window, where all
communication activities can be logged and analysed.

The trace level can be adjusted for each category (DLMS, Wrapper, HDLC
and IEC) individually: off, low, medium and high.
To analyse a specific string, mark it in the trace window, click on the button
for the corresponding analysing window, e.g. Analyse HDLC Frame and
then click on Analyze in the analysing window.

22/96 Communication with devices

6 Communication with devices

This section describes all aspects of communication with devices, in par-
ticular work with the MAP120 communication center for various applica-
tions.

6.1 MAP120 communication center

All communication settings can be made in the "MAP120 Communication
Center" window. This mainly serves to select the desired document type
and suitable communication profile, as well as to establish or terminate a
connection to the device.
The "MAP120 - Communication Center" window appears
 following every start of the MAP120 (except when this has been sup-
pressed in the option settings)

 after creating a new document (click on or select New from the

File menu)
 when called up (select Communication Center from the Communi-
cation menu).

For a better understanding of the possible settings in the MAP120 commu-

nication center some important terms and communication parameters are
explained below, before the completion of various communication connec-

6.1.1 Document types

The document type (tree type) must be selected in the MAP120 communi-
cation center for every communication connection to a device. The follow-
ing document types are available (depending on license):
 Parameterisation Tree (Base Meter, Module AD-xG/xP)
 Parameterisation Tree (Communication Unit)
 Service Tree (Base Meter)*
* Only supported for some older firmware versions of specific devices (see
readme.txt file) and therefore not documented in this user manual. It is rec-
ommended to use the MAP110 Service Tool for service functions.
The parameterisation tree and its application is described in detail in
section 7 "Parameterisation tree".

6.1.2 Communication profiles

Communication profiles stored in the MAP120 contain all necessary
settings for a specific type of connection to a device:
 Connection specification (interface used, type of interface, transmis-
sion rate for direct connections or modem type and telephone number
for modem connections, start protocol, COM port settings etc.).
 Access specification (access levels, passwords)
 Physical device address
 Network delay times
A communication profile must be determined or selected in the MAP120
communication center for every communication connection to a device.
With the choice of a stored communication profile all settings no longer
have to be made separately each time. Any desired number of communi-
cation profiles can be specified and stored.
The communication profiles are stored in files commonly for all users in the
directory "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Landis+
Gyr\MAP120\Profiles". Changes in a communication profile therefore affect
all users of a personal computer.

Preparation example The following basic procedure should be adopted to produce and store a
new communication profile in the MAP120 communication center (specific
examples are given in section 6.2 "Communication examples"):
1. Select the serial interface to be used in the "Interface" selection box or
the modem used for remote communication and for Ethernet connec-
tions the entry of the network card to be used. The COM port number
of a serial interface can be found in Windows under Settings / Control
panel / System / Hardware / Device manager.
2. For local communication select the "Optical Head" type used in the
"Interface Type" selection box or "3-wire connection without echo" or
for remote communication the telephone number to be selected.
3. Select the corresponding transmission rate for the device for local com-
munication in the "Transmission Rate" selection box.
4. Select the access level required for the intended activity in the "Access
Level" selection box.
5. If extended communication settings are necessary, click on Advanced.
The "MAP120 - Advanced Communication Settings" window appears.

6. Perform the required extended communication settings and then click

on OK.
The "MAP120 - Advanced Communication Settings" window disap-
pears.
7. Click on New.
The "MAP120 - New Profile" window appears.

8. Enter a name for the new communication profile or leave the name
suggested.
The name suggested is formed from the most important settings of the
communication profile.
9. Click on OK.
The new communication profile is stored and then appears as entry in
the "Communication Profile Selection" box.

 Temporary use of communication profile settings

If it is only intended to use communication profile settings temporarily, they
need not to be saved as communication profile. Instead, they can be used
by clicking on Apply.

6.1.3 Interface to device

The communication connection from the Landis+Gyr MAP120 Parameter
Editor to one or more devices can be made in various ways:
 Local via a serial connection to a device.
- With an optical reading head placed at the optical interface of the
device (only point-to-point connection to a device possible).
- With a direct connection to a device, e.g. via an RS232, M-Bus or
Ethernet interface as used in various communication units. If the
communication unit has a second interface, multiple connections
are possible to further devices.
 With a modem connection to a device or several devices, if these are
connected together by a multiple connection by RS485, CS or M-bus.
Note: the modem must first have been installed and configured on the
PC.
 With a network connection over the Internet via a gateway (e.g. a
Landis+Gyr iMEGA server) to a device or several devices, if these are
connected together by a multiple connection by RS485, CS or M-bus.
Note: For network connections over the Internet via a gateway a virtual
COM port and a corresponding standard modem driver must have
been installed.
The connection to a PC with the MAP120 software is made either via a se-
rial interface (e.g. COM port or USB) or via a modem or network connected.

Interface The interface used must be selected in the MAP120 communication center
in the "Interface" selection box. The selection contains all the serial inter-
faces present on the PC and all modems configured, e.g.:

Phone If a modem is selected, an entry box "Phone" appears for the telephone
number:

Interface Type and If a serial interface is selected, the "Interface Type" and "Transmission
Transmission Rate Rate" entry boxes appear. The transmission rate to be entered in the
"Transmission Rate" box must correspond to the device settings.

D000011154 en t – MAP120 – Parameter Editor – User Manual © Landis+Gyr

26/96 Communication with devices

"3-wire connection without echo", "Optical Head" or "Bluetooth Optical

Head" should be selected as interface type, depending how the device is
connected.

This is necessary because an echo signal is often produced when using an

optical reading head, which can be suppressed by suitable means in the
MAP120, while this effect does not occur with a direct connection.
If one of these two effects should not take place at any time (a correspond-
ing error message is given in this case when connection is made), it can be
corrected by clicking on Advanced and suitably changing the characteris-
tics of the physical interface or start protocol in the "MAP120 - Advanced
Communication Settings" window appearing.

Start Protocol Possible settings in the "Start Protocol" selection box:

 IEC (default), if the IEC protocol must be used mandatory

 HDLC, if the HDLC protocol must be used mandatory
 COSEM Wrapper, if the COSEM Wrapper over the TCP protocol must
be used mandatory

Communication with devices 27/96

Possible settings in the "Echo Handling of Interface" selection box:

 automatically, according to interface type (default), i.e. with echo, if
an optical reading head is used or without echo, if a direct connection
is used
 with echo (e.g. optical head), if a direct connection is used, which
causes an echo
 without echo (e.g. electrical interface), if an optical reader is used,
which causes no echo.
Possible settings in the "COM Port Settings" selection box:
 8 Bit (8 data bits / no parity) (default), to be used normally
 9 Bit (8 data bits / even parity), to be used if the connection to the se-
rial interface of the personal computer is made via an USB M-Bus con-
verter
Additional setting possibilities on the "Advanced Communication Settings"
register card:
 Maximum Transmission Rate (Default = 9600)
This can be selected in the selection box for the IEC protocol. If HDLC
is selected as start protocol, no selection is possible.
 Ignore Transmission Rate Switching
If this check box is activated with IEC protocol selected, the starting
transmission rate selected is permanently retained. This is necessary,
for example, for communication with devices, which must be contacted
via a multiple connection with a lower transmission rate than required
by the modem circuit.
 HDLC transmit buffer size (Default = 128 Bytes)
This can be entered in the entry box. The permissible range is 62 ... 248
Bytes. Landis+Gyr recommend to reduce the HDLC transmit buffer
size only in case of communication problems.
 Maximum Number of Attributes per dlms Request (Default = 45)
In case of readout problems this value can be reduced down to 1.
It should be noted that this slows down the readout.
 Single Request Firmware Releases
This entry box contains all versions (separated by semicolons), for
which automatically single requests will be used.
 Network Delays (Default = 4000 ms)
The initial delay and timeout time for problems in making connection,
e.g. with GSM networks, can be set in the "Initial Delay" and "IEC and
HDLC Timeout" entry boxes. Note that the "Network Delays" check
box in the "MAP120 - Communication Center" window must also be
activated for this setting to be effective (otherwise the IEC standard
values remain effective).

6.1.4 Access levels

An access level must be selected for every communication connection to a
device in the MAP120 communication center.

The various access levels and their fields of application are fully described
in section 10 "Short description of device security system".
Any passwords necessary can be changed in the "MAP120 - Advanced
Communication Settings" window, which appears after clicking on Ad-
vanced (see section 6.1.5 "Passwords").

6.1.5 Passwords
Any passwords necessary can be changed on the tab "Access Levels" in
the "MAP120 - Advanced Communication Settings" window, which appears
after clicking Advanced in the "MAP120 - Communication Center" window
(see section 6.1.4 "Access levels").

 Changing default passwords

Landis+Gyr recommends that the generally known default passwords in the
device should be changed.

For the user-defined access level X the client type (UID) can also be deter-
mined. This is extremely useful for temporary use of another access level
or for access to devices from other manufacturers using different client
types.

30/96 Communication with devices

6.1.6 Addressing devices

For point-to-point connections the device need not be specially addressed.
But with multi-drop all devices connected to the bus system (RS485, CS or
M-Bus) must have their own address for individual access. This address is
called the physical device address. In fact even two physical device ad-
dresses are used, one for the IEC protocol (IEC device address) and the
other for the DLMS protocol (HDLC device address).
Unless otherwise specified on the order, the following parameter values are
set as defaults for these physical device addresses:
 Physical IEC device address = serial number (printed on face plate of
device), e.g. 73852799.
 Physical HDLC device address = last 4 digits of serial number plus
1000 (because with dlms the range of addresses is limited and some
addresses are reserved), e.g. 3799 for a serial number 73852799
(2799 + 1000 = 3799).
The physical device addresses are stored as parameters of the basic meter
and not in the communication unit. A change of communication unit does
not therefore affect the addressing.
In the parameterisation tree the physical device addresses can found under
"Identification Numbers".

Delays" should be activated.
This increases the time delays with respect to the standard value of
1500 ms to the value set under "Advanced Communication Set-
tings" (default value = 4000 ms). Increasing the time delays pre-
vents the occurrence of interruptions during data transmission and
is urgently recommended for GSM networks.

Parameterisation tree 39/96

7 Parameterisation tree
This section describes the parameterisation tree used for the representa-
tion of device definitions.

7.1 Overview
The parameterisation tree displays all parameters of a device, but no
device register values. When called up, the parameters are read out
automatically from the device into the parameterisation tree.
The parameterisation tree permits re-parameterisation of devices (except
configuration) and comparison of parameters in the device and in the tree.
From the parameterisation tree complete device definitions or selected data
blocks (e.g. TOU, security system) can be downloaded into the device, but
no individual parameters.
The following example shows a part of a device parameterisation tree:

The individual parameters are described in the functional description for the
relevant device.

Selecting data Data selection is made in the parameterisation tree with the aid of the
parameterisation wizard described in section 7.2 "Parameterisation wizard".

Importing MAP device document files (*.prd) with parameterisation data exported
MAP190 files from MAP190 can be opened in MAP120 as parameterisation tree (see
section 8.1.2 "Opening existing device definitions").

D000011154 en t – MAP120 – Parameter Editor – User Manual © Landis+Gyr

40/96 Parameterisation tree

Functions Some functions applicable with parameterisation trees are described in the
following sections:
 Section 7.3.1 "Switching the certification feature on or off"
 Section 7.3.2 "Comparing parameterisation tree to file"
 Section 7.3.3 "Comparing parameterisation tree to device"
 Section 7.3.4 "Exporting TOU table"
 Section 7.3.5 "Update firmware version"

7.2 Parameterisation wizard

The parameterisation wizard controls the data selection for parameterisa-
tions, i.e. it permits the selection of individual parameter groups and their
loading in the device connected:
 All parameters except the security system (for meters and communi-
cation units)
 General security system or parts thereof, e.g. passwords (for meters
and communication units)
 Complete TOU or parts thereof, e.g. individual switching tables (only
for meters)
The parameterisation wizard permits the input of individual parameter val-
ues, such as identification numbers or passwords, for convenient para-
meterisation of several devices with the same parameterisation tree. The
values entered are read to the device instead of the corresponding values
from the parameterisation tree.
For the parameterisation of meters with all parameters except the security
system the parameterisation wizard also allows actions to be performed
before or after parameterisation, e.g. time setting or resetting registers and
profiles.
The starting of the parameterisation wizard and its various parameterisation
possibilities are described in the sub-sections below.

7.2.1 Starting the parameterisation wizard

The precondition for calling up the parameterisation wizard is that a para-
meterisation tree is displayed in the MAP120, either read out from a device
or opened as file.

Procedure:

1. Click on in the toolbar or select Send to Device from the Commu-

nication menu.
The "MAP120 - Communication Center" window appears showing the
settings last used.
2. Select or create a communication profile with the necessary access
level for the planned re-parameterisation.
Note that an impermissible access level is only recognised and dis-
played when writing the parameter to the device connected.

10 Short description of device security system

10.1 Introduction
The data and parameters of the Landis+Gyr devices are protected against
unintended or improper access by a flexible, multi-stage security system. It
is very similar to the one used in computer systems and consists of several
access levels (users) with different access rights.
Detailed information on the security system for the relevant devices is pro-
vided in the associated functional descriptions.

10.2 Security attributes

For each access level, various security attributes can be defined that must
be fulfilled to gain access.

Switches protected by Under the main face plate, protected by the verification seal, there is a
the verification seal block of security switches or jumpers. Their position must be defined in
order to gain access to a particular level.

Entering the service It may be defined that access to a certain level will only be granted from the
menu service menu. To enter the service menu the utility seal must be removed.

Passwords/Keys A password may be defined for some access levels. Either a static 8-char-
acter password, a coded 7-character password or a 32-character encryp-
tion key can be used.
If a static password is used, the user only needs to know the password. It is
checked by the device and access is granted, if the passwords match.
If a coded password or an encryption key is used, the user not only needs
to know the password but also an encryption algorithm. Due to the encryp-
tion a Landis+Gyr tool is required to access such a level.
Only the characters '0' to '9' and 'A' to 'F' are allowed for passwords and
keys.

Communication The access to a certain level may be restricted so that it is only granted via
channels selected communication channels. Access is for instance possible via the
optical interface, the integrated interface and both communication channels
of the communication unit.

10.3 Access levels

The Landis+Gyr devices feature up to 15 different access levels (level 0 to
9 and A to E) with different access rights each. For groups of registers and
parameters, it can be defined which level is required to read and which
level is required to write.
Each access level is protected by security attributes which must be fulfilled
to gain access. In order to simplify the handling and to ensure compatibility
to other device series, most of the security attributes have been partially or
completely fixed.
All access levels are strictly independent i.e. a higher access level does not
automatically bear all rights of the lower access levels.

Short description of device security system 83/96

10.4 Access levels and their application

The table below describes all access levels with their security attributes and
their typical application. The access rights are defined by the utility when
ordering the device. They depend on the needs of the utility and on the
national regulations.
For levels 0 to 4 access is possible via the dlms and the IEC protocol, for
levels 5 to E via the dlms protocol only. The UID (user identification) is used
in dlms communication to select the access level.
Please note that not all access levels are available in all devices, the table
below therefore just gives an overview. Please always refer to the func-
tional description of the currently used device.

11 OBIS identification codes

11.1 General description
For OBIS (Object Identification System) the structure A-B:C.D.E.F applies,
whereby the individual groups have the following significance:

A Defines the characteristic of the data item to be identified, e.g. ab-

stract data, electricity-, gas-, heat- or water-related data.
B Defines the channel number, i.e. the number of the input of a meter-
ing equipment having several inputs for the measurement of energy
of the same or different types (e.g. in data concentrators, registration
units). This enables data from different sources to be identified.
C Defines the abstract or physical data items related to the information
source concerned, e.g. active power, reactive power, apparent
power, power factor, current or voltage.
D Defines types, or the result of the processing of physical quantities
according to various specific algorithms. The algorithms can deliver
energy and demand quantities as well as other physical quantities.
E Defines the further processing of measurement results to tariff reg-
isters, according to the tariffs in use. For abstract data or for meas-
urement results for which tariffs are not relevant, this value group can
be used for further classification.
F Defines the storage of data according to different billing periods.
Where this is not relevant, this value group can be used for further
classification.

To simplify the reading in the index field, individual groups of the OBIS
code can be omitted. The abstract or physical data C and type of data D
must be shown. A full specification of the OBIS identification number
system can be found in standard IEC 62056-61.
Only the values of interest to metering devices are explained below with a
collection of examples.

Group A Group A of the OBIS identification can theoretically have values in the
range between 0 and 15. Only the values
0 (abstract objects) and
1 (electricity related objects)
appear in the Landis+Gyr MAP120 Parameter Editor.

Group B Group B of the OBIS identification can theoretically have values in the
range between 0 and 255. Only the values
0 (no channel specified)
1 (channel 1) and
2 (channel 2)
appear in the Landis+Gyr MAP120 Parameter Editor.

Group C Group C of the OBIS identification can have values in the range between 0
and 255. The individual values are differently assigned depending on the
value of group A. The values for abstract items (group A = 0) are of no in-
terest at this point, since they are largely specific to either context, country
or manufacturer. On the other hand, the values for items related to electric-
ity are listed in the following table.

Abbreviation Definition
Description

COSEM Companion Specification for Energy Metering

Comprises the specifications required in addition to dlms (as defined in
IEC 61334-4-41, 1996), which describe the interface to the device.
These are namely the standards (drafts) IEC 62056-42, IEC 62056-46,
IEC 62056-53, IEC 62056-61 and IEC 62056-62.

dlms Distribution Line Message Specification

Messaging system defined originally as part of the application layer of the
protocol stack for distribution line carrier systems (IEC 61334-4-41, 1996).
Its universality and its independence of the actual communication channel
allowed dlms to become the choice of the metering industry for any meter-
ing application (Device Language Message Specification).

GSM Global System for Mobile communications

Wireless communication network for data and voice transmission.

HDLC High Level Data Link Control

Communication protocol used by COSEM (IEC 62056-46), specifying the
data link layer. The HDLC standard is ISO/IEC 13239, 2000 (second edi-
tion). Some older COSEM implementations rely on the first, 1996 edition of
the standard.

IEC International Electrotechnical Commission

IEC 62056-21 is the standard "Electricity metering - Data exchange for meter
reading, tariff and load control - Part 21: Direct local data exchange". This is
the third edition of the formerly well-known standard IEC 61107 (IEC 1107).

MAP Meter Application Product

The MAP software tools have been developed and distributed by
Landis+Gyr to support electricity meters. This group of tools comprises the
MAP 190 Parameterisation Editor Tool and the MAP120 Parameter Editor.

OBIS Object Identification System

Identification number system for clear identification of dlms items.

PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network

The public switched telephone network can be used for data transmission.
To this purpose a modem (modulator/demodulator) must be inserted be-
tween computer and telephone network and also between the telephone
network and the remote device.

VDEW Vereinigung Deutscher Elektrizitätswerke

VDEW is the central organisation of the German electrical industry. It com-
bines and represents the interests of its members and is consultant and
forward-looking body for energy questions (refer also to www.strom.de).
