Message formats

To allow a flexible output from the device, CMi4140 has several message formats. Some of them are scheduled, meaning the meter is read on top of every hour, and sending a clock message once per day, see Scheduled message formats.

Meter ID

Identification number of the meter in which the module is mounted.


See the following example of a telegram for message format JSON:

{"E":12345678,"U":"kWh","ID":87654321} 

Scheduled message formats

For message scheduled formats, such as Scheduled Daily Redundant 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, allowing a predictability of the received telegrams. The difference between a clock message and a data message is described in the following table.

Table 224. 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)

Data/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 the values listed in Table 226, “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 interval and will be transmitted immediately after the readout.

Note

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

Scheduled Daily Redundant

Message format 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).

Pulse

Message format Pulse includes data from the pulse inputs In A and In B of the module. How the pulses should be interpreted can be configured in the meter interface. Depending on configuration, the pulses can represent either volume or energy. Due to size, the message format is divided in two telegrams.

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

Pulse In A

7

INT32

Reads the registers corresponding to the In A connector on the module.

Sub-unit 1 is used in DIFE for In A.

Examples:

Volume: 844014B1EB0100 = 1258,73 m3

Energy: 84400725120000 = 46450 kWh

Pulse In B

8

INT32

Reads the registers corresponding to the In B connector on the module

Sub-unit 2 is used in DIFE for In B

Examples:

Volume: 848040144E1E0100 = 732,94 m3

Energy: 8480400601230000 = 8961 kWh

Operating hours

6

INT32

Reads the Operating Hours register of the meter.

Examples:

042238220000 = 8 760h (~1 year)

042280230200 = 140 160h (~16 years)

Note that this field is always 32 bits, even when using MultiCal 403 which only reports 16 bits.


Pulse Extended

Message format Pulse Extended is similar to message format Pulse and includes data from the pulse inputs In A and In B of the module. Besides other data points, this message format also include energy tariffs. How the pulses should be interpreted can be configured in the meter interface. Depending on configuration, the pulses can represent either volume or energy. Due to size, the message format is divided in two telegrams.
