ÖVE/ÖNORM EN 62056-61

The OBject Identification System (OBIS) defines the identification codes (ID-codes) for commonly used data items in electricity metering equipment. This part of IEC 62056 specifies the overall structure of the identification system and the mapping of all data items to their identification codes. OBIS provides a unique identifier for all data within the metering equipment, including not only measurement values, but also abstract values used for configuration or obtaining information about the behaviour of the metering equipment. The ID codes defined in this standard are used for the identification of - logical names of the various instances of the interface classes, or objects, as defined in IEC 62056-62; - data transmitted through communication lines, see Clause A.1; - data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2. This standard applies to all types of electricity metering equipment, such as fully integrated meters, modular meters, tariff attachments, data concentrators, etc.
