This is the date for the maximum flow, typically different from the due date timestamp.

Note 1: This date is not compensated to be sent in UTC since it is only a date. It is the date stored in the meter, which may be local time, not UTC.

Note 2: Since M-Bus format G is used only date is sent. If meter’s logger is set to shorter intervals (hours, daily) the minute/hour of the max flow will not be sent.

Scheduled message formats

For scheduled message formats, such as Scheduled Daily Redundant and Pulse Extended, two types of messages will be transmitted from the module - a clock message and a data message. Scheduled message formats will read the meter on top of the hour, making received telegrams more predictable. The difference between a clock message and a data message is described in the following table.

Table 320. Clock message and data message

Message

Time interval

Description

Clock message

Once per day

The clock message presents the current time of the meter. It can be used to verify that the clock is correct and has not drifted more than accepted.

Data message

Determined by Transmit interval parameter

The actual meter data collected from the meter.


The following table contains a detailed description of the payload of the clock message.

-

0xFA (=Clock message)

Date/Time

6 bytes

32 bit binary integer M-Bus type F

046Dxxxxxx = Valid date/time message

346Dxxxxxx = Invalid date/time message


The clock message will be transmitted once every day and the data message at least (regulated by transmit interval parameter or EcoMode) once every day. The transmit interval can only be set to the values listed in Table 322, “Transmit interval options ”.

Although the meter readout will occur on top-of-the-hour, the data message will not necessarily be transmitted at that exact time. The LoRaWAN® transmission will occur after a random delay of 0-15 minutes to decrease the risk of collisions. The readout for the clock message occurs at a random hour (00:00-23:00) at a random minute in the 35-45 minute interval and will be transmitted immediately after the readout.

Note

When using scheduled message formats, the transmit interval cannot be set to higher than 1440 (24 hours).

Scheduled - Daily Redundant

The data message of Scheduled - Daily Redundant contains an accumulated daily energy field, which is updated at 24:00 each day. In other words, depending on transmit interval settings and data rate, the field will be included in between 1-24 telegrams per day. This will increase the probability of the value being received. For example, if the transmit interval is set to “2”, the accumulated energy read at 24:00 will be transmitted 12 times during the 24 next coming hours (every 2nd hour).
