Definitions, symbols and abbreviations

This subclause presents an overview of used term definitions, symbols and abbreviations.

2.1 Definitions
Device under Test (DUT)
5 The device under test (DUT) is the device of which conformance with OMS specification is to
be tested.
Application frame
The Application frame is the payload that is transmitted over different physical layers. It
excludes physical layer specific information as preamble, synchronisation word, CRC and
10 more.
Fixed part of Application frame
The Application frame has to be separated into a fixed and a variable part. The fixed part
consists of the Application header. The Application header is independent from the selected
application protocol. The length of the fixed part depends on the type of CI-Field and is listed
15 in [OMSS-Vol2] Table 5.
Golden receiver unit
A receiver device that has been proven against fundamental specifications, especially with
respect to Manchester, 3-of-6 and NRZ decoding, chip/bit/byte order, CRC decoding, and
S2/T2/C2 mode response transmission window. The response transmission window of the
20 golden receiver shall be configurable for minimum and maximum values.
Golden transmitter unit
A transmitter device that has been proven against fundamental specifications, especially with
respect to Manchester, 3-of-6 and NRZ coding, chip/bit/byte order, and CRC encoding.
M-Bus-String
25 When M-Bus Application protocol is applied the collection of all bytes in the variable part of
the application frame are called M-Bus-String.
Marginal transmitter unit
A transmitter device that can be tuned to the extreme specifications with respect to
transmitter frequency offset and chip rate offset.
30 Packet Generator
A packet generator is part of the conformance testing tool set. It is used to generate wireless
M-Bus packets, especially requests and commands, in order to evaluate the reaction of the
DUT.
Sniffer Tool
35 A sniffer tool is part of the conformance testing tool set. It is used to intercept all wireless M-
Bus messages sent and received and to assess the conformance of the messages sent by
the DUT. For documentation purposes, all packets that are received by the sniffer tool are
logged together with a timestamp.
Variable part of the Application frame
40 The Application frame has to be separated into a fixed and a variable part. The variable part
consists of the Application protocol bytes starting at the next byte behind the fixed part until
the end of the datagram (without CRC, Check sum etc.).Symbols

3.2.4 Declaration of transmission rate

The manufacturer shall declare the average transmission interval which is configured in the
DUT. The average transmission interval declares the typical distance between the
transmission of two datagrams. The transmission interval should be declared in seconds.

5 3.2.5 Declaration of installation datagrams

The manufacturer shall declare, if the DUT supports installation datagrams (manually
triggered datagrams with C-Field 46h). If this feature is supported the way of starting the
installation datagram shall be described in the Test documentation. If tools are necessary to
start the installation datagrams they have to be provided by the manufacturer for the duration
10 of the test.

3.2.6 Declaration of data points

The manufacturer should4 declare all mandatory and optional data points which are
conforming to [OMSS-Vol2] Annex A to ensure and document the interoperability.
The manufacturer may also declare additional data points which are not conforming to
15 [OMSS-Vol2] Annex A or are provided in other datagrams. The declaration of these
additional data points is optional.
The data points can be transmitted with either SND-NR (for wireless M-bus) or with REQ-

The manufacturer shall state if a declared data point is transmitted only in special conditions
20 of the DUT (e.g. error state). For certification it is required that the manufacturer provides the
certification laboratory with the required tools to set the DUT to this special conditions.

Issue 4.0.5 / 2019-12-22 (Release)

3.2.7 Declaration of the test command

For several tests it is necessary to check if the meter or actuator is able to receive a
message from the test master. A Test command is required to verify if the message has
been received and executed. The Test command should be defined by the manufacturer
5 itself (e.g. shows Symbol on LCD e.g. “tESt” for 2 seconds or switches a valve). The
complete test command (including authorisation sequence (if existing)) shall be described in
the test documentation.

3.2.8 Test mode

The DUT might use a special configuration (i.e. test mode) to run the OMS conformance test
10 which is different to the normal operation configuration in the field. In this case, the
manufacturer shall declare the differences between the special and the normal operation
mode with reference to the OMS specification. The manufacturer shall describe how the
special configuration is enabled / disabled. Alternatively, a subset of the DUT can use the
special configuration permanently. In this case the manufacturer shall identify these devices
15 in the test documentation using their identification numbers.

3.2.9 List of the test equipment

The manufacturer shall provide a complete list of the test equipment (hardware, software and
test documentation).

3.2.10 Declaration of DUT parametrization

20 It is common practice that the manufacturer provides the customer with the possibility to
change the parametrization of the DUT, e. g. transmission period or content of the radio
datagrams (data records). It is possible that a change of this parametrization results in a non
OMS compliant device so the OMS Certificate is not valid anymore.
The change of the parametrization can be done during the production process of the meter,
25 during installation or if the meter is already in operation. Typically there are a lot of possible
tools with different user rights available to change the parametrization.
To avoid a highly complex certification procedure including complete tool chain and all
combinations of possible parameter settings it was agreed that the manufacturer shall
configure the DUT in a way that it will pass the certification process. In addition he shall state
30 in the manufacturer declaration that
 Devices without the Label for OMS conformity can be delivered to the customer with
OMS-compliant parametrization or non-compliant
 All devices that are produced and marked with the Label for OMS conformity should
leave the company with OMS compliant parametrization.
35  If devices with Label for OMS conformity leave the company with a non-compliant
parametrization this shall be explicitly communicated to the customer. This can be
done using the delivery notes.
 If the manufacturer offers the possibility to change the parametrization after
production they shall state that changing the parametrization of the device can result
40 in a non-compliant device and therefore the OMS certificate is not valid anymore.
This statement can be done in the data sheet or the configuration software for
example.

3.2.11 Setup of Conformance Test Environment

The setup of the Conformance Test Environment consists at least of the OMS CT Software
45 (OMS-CTS) and a radio device.

Appendix A: Differences to [OMSS-Vol2]

Not testable requirements of [OMSCT-GEN]:
 Different parametrizations of the DUT can lead to a loss of OMS Certification.
o A warning to the user that changing the parameters can lead to a loss of OMS
5 Certificate is required. The manufacturer shall state in the [OMSCT-ManDec]
how this information is given to the user.
Not testable requirements of [OMSCT-DLL]:
 „The start of the first synchronous transmission shall be stochastic. It is not allowed to
fix the synchronous transmission exactly to a common event like a special time or a
10 power on after a central voltage drop.“The existence of an ELL in case of a meter
with internal encryption function and an external RF-Adapter as specified in [OMSS-
Vol2] subclause 5.3.4 is not tested.
 The structure and presence of the ELLA in the ELL is not tested in case of
unidirectional meters. This is in contradiction to [OMSS-Vol2] subclause 3.1.3.2, Line
15 28. It is intended to adopt the OMS-S accordingly.
 Static datagram content is not tested for the content due to missing definition of
management data (data points); therefore only the timing is checked.
Correction of [OMSS-Vol2]:
 For latest adoptions of the [OMSS-Vol2] please refer to the actual errata sheet
20 published on the OMS Homepage.
Requirements not covered by this OMS-CT
 [OMSS-Vol2] Annex K – “Descriptors”
